    Einstein Quiz

    Albert Einstein wrote this quiz last century. He maintains that 98% of the people in the world cannot solve it.

    Facts:

    There are five houses in five different colors, in each house lives a person with a different nationality, whom drinks a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet. tNo owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink.

    here's the question: Who owns the fish?

    Some criteria:

    1. The Brit man 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 center 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

    to be fair if you got the answer, PM me.

    and i'll tell you if you are right or wrong. if you got the answer you are likely right. Whatever you do don't post the answer up just yet.

    Did you know that...
    The probability that a random rational number has an even denominator is 1/3 (Salamin and Gosper 1972)? This result is independently verified by me (2002)!
