Einstein's Riddle
There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a person
with a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of
beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No
owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the
same beverage.
The question is: Who owns the fish?
Hints:
- The Brit lives in the red house.
- The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
- The Dane drinks tea.
- The green house is on the left of the white house.
- The green homeowner drinks coffee.
- The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
- The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
- The man living in the center house drinks milk.
- The Norwegian lives in the first house.
- The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
- The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.

Einstein wrote this riddle this century. He said 98% of the world
could not solve it. Its not hard, you just need to pay attention and be
patient.
I don't belive that only 2% of the world could solve it, unless you're
not allowed to translate it out of english.
