98% Of World's Population Will Fail This : Einstein's Riddle... by energylee(m): 6:41pm On Oct 03, 2015 |
Einstein wrote this riddle last century and said that 98% of the world’s population would not be able to solve it. • There are 5 houses that are each a different colour. • There is a person of a different nationality in each house. • The 5 owners drink a certain drink. They each smoke a certain brand of cigarettes and also have a certain pet. No owner has the same pet, smokes the same brand of cigarettes nor drinks the same drink. • The question is. “Who has the fish as pet?” CLUES: 1. The British man lives in the red house. 2. The Swedish man has a dog for a pet. 3. The Danish man drinks tea. 4. The green house is to the left of the white house. 5. The owner of the green house drinks coffee. 6. The person that smokes Pall Mall has a bird. 7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill. 8. The person that lives in the middle house drinks milk. 9. The Norwegian lives in the first house. 10. The person that smokes Blend, lives next to the one that has a cat. 11. The person that has a horse lives next to the one that smokes Dunhill. 12. The one that smokes Bluemaster drinks beer. 13. The German smokes Prince. 14. The Norwegian lives next to a blue house. 15. The person that smokes Blend, has a neighbour that drinks water. GOOD LUCK!!! Am yet to get the answer as virtually about 100 people have done their best. I hope dis reach front page so we can get better views... |

Solution:
a) We know that Norwegian lives in the 1st house (Hint: #9) and next to
him lives a guy who stays in a blue house (Hint: #14). So far we have the
following:
1st House 2nd House
Norwegian Blue House
b) We know that the green house is on the left of the white house (Hint:
4), therefore we can form a new group with the Green and White house
next to each other.
Green House White House
c) Now think carefully the combination of (a) and (b). We should reach to
the conclusion that the Norwegean guy who lives in the first house, he
either lives in the Red or Yellow house since the Green & White houses
group can only have a position of either 3-4 or 4-5.
d) Since the Brit is the guy who lives in the Red house (Hint: 1), now we
definitely know that the Norwegian lives in the Yellow house. So far we
have the following information:
1st House 2nd House
Norwegian Yellow
Blue
British
Red
Group:
Green House White House
e) Next, we know that the owner of the Green house drinks coffee (Hint: 5)
and the man living in the center house drinks milk (Hint: . As a result,
we conclude that the group of Green and Yellow house are the 4th and 5th
house in order and that the center house (number 3) is the Brit.
1 2 3 4 5
Norwegian British
Yellow Blue Red Green White
Milk Coffee
f) Hint 7 gives us another information on the first house (The owner of the
yellow house smokes Dunhill). In-addition, the man who keeps the horse
lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill (Hint 11), therefore the man
living in house #2 keeps horses.
House 1 2 3 4 5
Nation Norwegian British
Color Yellow Blue Red Green White
Drink Milk Coffee
Pet Horses
Smoke Dunhill
g) Hint 15 states that "The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who
drinks water." We conclude that only 2 people can have a neighbor who
drinks water (House 1&2), but since House #1 already smokes Dunhill that
means that House #2 smokes Blend and House #1 drinks water.
House 1 2 3 4 5
Nation Norwegian British
Color Yellow Blue Red Green White
Drink Water Milk Coffee
Pet Horses
Smoke Dunhill Blend
h) Hint 12 states "The owner who smokes Bluemaster drinks beer." See
the table above and you will notice that we are missing the drink only for
houses 2 and 5 but since we already know that the owner of house 2
smokes Blend, then the combination of Hint 12 applies to house #5.
House 1 2 3 4 5
Nation Norwegian British
Color Yellow Blue Red Green White
Drink Water Milk Coffee Beer
Pet Horses
Smoke Dunhill Blend Bluemaster
i) Hint 3 states that "The Dane drinks tea.". We are missing only the drink
for house #2 therefore this applies to house #2.
House 1 2 3 4 5
Nation Norwegian Danish British
Color Yellow Blue Red Green White
Drink Water Tea Milk Coffee Beer
Pet Horses
Smoke Dunhill Blend Bluemaster
j) Hint 10 states "The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who
keeps cats." As a result, house #1 keeps cats since house #2 has the
owner who smokes Blend.
House 1 2 3 4 5
Nation Norwegian Danish British
Color Yellow Blue Red Green White
Drink Water Tea Milk Coffee Beer
Pet Cats Horses
Smoke Dunhill Blend Bluemaster
k) Hint #13 states that "The German smokes prince". We are missing the
nationalities of the owners who live in house #4 and #5 but since the
owner of house #5 smokes Bluemaster, this hint applies to house #4.
House 1 2 3 4 5
Nation Norwegian Danish British German
Color Yellow Blue Red Green White
Drink Water Tea Milk Coffee Beer
Pet Cats Horses
Smoke Dunhill Blend Prince Bluemaster
l) Hint #6 states that "The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds". We
are only missing the tabacco of House #3 therefore:
House 1 2 3 4 5
Nation Norwegian Danish British German
Color Yellow Blue Red Green White
Drink Water Tea Milk Coffee Beer
Pet Cats Horses Birds
Smoke Dunhill Blend Pall Mall Prince Bluemaster
m) Finally hint #2 states that "The Swede keeps dogs as pets". This
combination can only be applied to house #5.
House 1 2 3 4 5
Nation Norwegian Danish British German Swedish
Color Yellow Blue Red Green White
Drink Water Tea Milk Coffee Beer
Pet Cats Horses Birds Dogs
Smoke Dunhill Blend Pall Mall Prince Bluemaster
n) Now who owns the fish? The German owns the fish!!!
Congratulations, according to Einstein you now belong to the 2% of the
people who can solve this riddle!!!
House 1 2 3 4 5
Nation Norwegian Danish British German Swedish
Color Yellow Blue Red Green White
Drink Water Tea Milk Coffee Beer
Pet Cats Horses Birds FISH Dogs
Smoke Dunhill Blend Pall Mall Prince Bluemaster
