    beat Einstein

    "This is a quiz written by Einstein in the last century. He said that 98% of the world's population could not solve it...." This is followed by a series of fifteen clues about five European men who live in houses of different colors, drink different beverages, smoke different cigarettes, and keep different pets.

    1. The Englishman lives in the red house.
    2. The Swede keeps dogs.
    3. The Dane drinks tea.
    4. The green house is just to the left of the white one.
    5. The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
    6. The Pall Mall smoker keeps birds.
    7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills.
    8. The man in the center house drinks milk.
    9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
    10. The Blend smoker has a neighbor who keeps cats.
    11. The man who smokes Blue Masters drinks bier.
    12. The man who keeps horses lives next to the Dunhill smoker.
    13. The German smokes Prince.
    14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
    15. The Blend smoker has a neighbor who drinks water.

    The question to be answered is: Who keeps fish?

    Took me about 5 minutes and a piece of paper. =P I drew houses, and wrote a letter on them representing the colors, and form there I drew pictures and lines to represent where the house was located and what was associated with it.
