The Einstein's Puzzle.

Avatar · 29th December 2007

This is a famous puzzle that is claimed to be written by Einstein! Some of you might have passed by it and know the answer already. You can search the web for the answer and you will find it immediately, but it would be a great pity and you will lose much fun. There's no tricks in the puzzle. It should be solved by mere Logic which is what this forum is about.

Ok, let's go

:

Facts: There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a man 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.

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 house owner drinks coffee.
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
The man living in the house right in the center 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 horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
The German smokes Prince.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

P.S The First house is the one at the far left and the fifth on the far right.

THE QUESTION: Who owns the Fish?

Extra-Question (not in the original version): Did Einstein really write this puzzle?

Have Fun
