Are you Einstein?

One of my friends sent me this and asked me to figure it out....

Einstein (no one know his real IQ) give us a puzzle like this, for he stressed examining assumptions, and once wrote: "The important thing is to not stop questioning."

1. Facts: There are 5 houses in 5 different colours
2. In each house lives a person with a different nationality..
3. These 5 owners drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.
4. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink.

1. Hints: The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the left of the white house.
5. The green house owner drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the house right in the centre drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blend has a neighbour who drinks water.

The question for the Einstein test is ... WHO KEEPS THE FISH?


OMG took me a long time to try and error and find the correct answer, actually very simple, you can just write everything together and do a jig saw puzzle out of the whole thing...

Anyway these are the things for sure:
Country:
1.) English
2.) Swedish
3.) Danish
4.) German
5.) Norwegian

Drink:
1.) Water
2.) Coffee
3.) Milk
4.) Tea
5.) Beer

Smoke:
1.) Pall Mall
2.) Dunhill
3.) Blue Master
4.) Prince
5.) Blend

I keep missing out "Pall Mall" OMG...

Drink:
1.) Water
2.) Coffee
3.) Milk
4.) Tea
5.) Beer



Did you get it right? Actually thats not really the correct answer technically...

You can also get the correct answer from http://www.iqtest-center.com/einstein-test.php

Explaination from http://www.brain-fun.com/Brain-Teasers/EinsteinsRiddleAns.php

HOUSES: The Norwegian lives in the leftmost house, next to blue house. The owner of the center house drinks milk, therefore, is not a green house (whose owner drinks coffee). The green house is #4 since it is to the left of the white house and there is no other place for a pair of houses to fit. Therefore, the center house must be red and, therefore, the Brit's house. The Norwegian's house is, therefore, yellow. The Dane drinks tea and doesn't live in the coffee-drinking green house. The Swede keeps dogs so he is not the person who owns horses and lives in the blue house.

DRINKS: The man in the center house, the Brit, drinks milk. The green house's owner drinks coffee. The Dane drinks tea so the Dane does not live in the green house. The one who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer. And since the German smokes Prince we know that the German does not drink beer. The Brit drinks milk and so does not smoke Bluemasters. Since the Norwegian smokes Dunhills, he can't do the Bluemasters/Beer duo. And the Dane drinks tea, so the Swede must drink the beer.

SMOKES: The owner of the yellow house, the Norwegian, smokes Dunhill. The German smokes Prince. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water, and the green house #4 drinks coffee. Therefore, the person in the white house #5 doesn't smoke Blends. The Dane does not smoke Bluemasters since he drinks tea and not beer. The Brit does not smoke Bluemasters since he drinks milk. The Norwegian doesn't smoke Bluemasters since he smokes Dunhills. And the German smokes Prince, not Bluemasters. So that means the Swede must smoke Bluemasters. Therefore, the Swede also drinks beer.

PETS: The man who keeps a horse lives next door to the Dunhill smoker, the Norwegian, so the owner of the blue house owns a horse. Since the Norwegian smokes Dunhills, they do not have birds. The Swede keeps dogs, so he is not the man who owns horses and lives in the blue house. Whomever smokes the Bluemasters doesn't own birds.

When we find out the Swede smokes the Bluemasters and drinks beer, and also know he keeps dogs, we know everything about him except which house he lives in. He doesn't live in the red house because he drinks beer not milk. He doesn't live in the green house because he drinks beer not coffee. He is not in the yellow house smoking Dunhills and since he doesn't own a horse, he isn't in the blue house. Therefore, the Swede is in the white house.

The blue house and the green house are still unclaimed. The Dane must be in the Blue house drinking tea, because he doesn't drink coffee, therefore, can't be in the green house. We already know that the Brit is in the red house and the Norwegian is in the yellow house. So finally, we can put the German into the green house.

So now we have the German smoking Princes and drinking coffee in the green house. The Swede is in the white house smoking Bluemasters and drinking beer with his dogs. The Norwegian is in the yellow house smoking Dunhills. The Dane is in the blue house drinking tea and owning a horse. Since he has a horse, he can't have birds and, therefore, doesn't smoke Pall Malls, but rather Blends. The Brit is in the red house drinking milk.

Since the Dane in the blue house smokes Blends, his neighbor must drink water. The house next door, the Brit, already drinks milk, so the Norwegian on the other side must be the one who drinks water. We know what everyone smokes except the Brit, who by default smokes Pall Malls, and then also owns birds. Since he owns the birds, the neighbor of the Blends smoker who owns cats is the Norwegian, leaving only one solution: The German owns the fish.

Did you get the answer?

Anyway answer I posted above is not the correct answer...That's why Einstein said at the very beginning of the test "The important thing is to never stop questioning." He wanted you to ask, "Who says the German guy has to have fish as a pet?" This is the real answer to this question.
