are you smart?

ok saw this on another forum, just curious as to if anybody can figure it out

ALBERT EINSTEIN'S RIDDLE


ARE YOU IN THE TOP 2% OF INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD? SOLVE THE RIDDLE AND FIND OUT.

There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and don't give up.

1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
2. In each house lives a person of different nationality
3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

HINTS

1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house 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 centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man 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 Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.

ALBERT EINSTEIN WROTE THIS RIDDLE EARLY DURING THE 19th CENTURY. HE SAID THAT 98% OF THE WORLD POPULATION WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE IT.

I'm intelligent enough to know this is false.

Re: are you smart?

^^ Probably meant early 1900s.

German.
Took me about 15 minutes, it helps a ton to write it all out on paper with boxes for each house and the possibilities that remain. Then cross one off at a time, tedious but it works.

I was going to say the German because I had the Nazi fish from American Dad stuck in my head.

5.white/swede/beer/blue mill/dog

I agree, but I'm pretty sure the german and swede can switch between the green and white houses without affecting anything.

Entertaining way to not do my homework!
