I'm bored, so I'll leave you with this. • 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 you would know, this is Einstein's famous riddle. NO GOOGLING, EITHER OF YOU.
If I hadn’t studied this before, this would make absolutely no sense. There usually is a set of clues to go with it. Otherwise, without them, this is pointless. You could pick any five nationalities, any five drinks, any five cigars, any five pets. It would never be correct because I could pick my personal choice of nationalities rather than Dane, Brit, Swede, German, and Norwegian. Nothing would work if I had chosen differently from those.
In that case, with the set of clues, the answer is the German with the fish. Very interesting riddle by the way. Also a very smart man.
