    Einstein's Riddle (Riddle for you guys)

    Einstein supposedly wrote this riddle and said 98% of the world could not solve it. Found on Patrick W. Gilmore jokes page.

    There are 5 houses painted in different colors in a row on a street. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners each 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, nor drink the same beverage.

    WHO OWNS THE BIRD? (which nationality)


    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's owner drinks coffee.
    * The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
    * The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
    * The person living in the center house drinks milk.
    * The Norwegian lives in the leftmost house.
    * The person who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
    * The person who keeps the horse lives next to the person who smokes Dunhill.
    * The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
    * The German smokes Prince.
    * The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
    * The person who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.


    took me about 8-10 minutes to get this one

          Here is one that has a lot less words, but us still hard to figure out.

          Take the number 12 and divide it in half. Each half will be = and each half will be 7. How do you do it.

          The time limit is supposed to be 2 minutes.

            Me and some friends did this a couple of years ago and we all managed to get it right. We're not particularly bright either. Just draw a table and gradually, a process of elimination and logic will lead to the answer.
            26 + 6 = 1

              I was shocked to hear that only 1/50 get it right...

                        It's the BRIT!

                        The Brit lives in the Red house, drinks MilK, Raises Birds and smokes Palmal!

                              Without even trying to figure out this riddle, I would guess it's the German because that's who Einstein was. German with a pet bird lol.

                                Actually I am quite right! 100% right! the question asks who owns the BIRD!!! and the BRIT owns the BIRD!

                                The German does not own a pet, or non is mentioned!

                                              unless this problem could have 2 possible solutions, I have to say that you are incorrect, also, the site on which this riddle was on says the correct answer and it is NOT the Brit, so it's not just me making up who I believe to be the right answer

                                              You had me second guessing myself for a while, but I went back and double checked! there is only one possible solution! Here is a matrix that complies with the above statements:

Every one of my brothers managed to solve pretty quickly also, and although none are stupid, I doubt we are all among the smartest 2% of the world.

Maybe when the question was created that lack of wide spread education made einsteins statement true. I believe a 13 year old could do that question assuming (s)he has the patience... and doesn't live in Texas.
