Haven't worked this out yet. If anyone does work it out post it here.
Later on I'll post a spoiler way to solve it without thinking too hard.
Have fun.
-----
There are no tricks, just pure logic.
1. On a street there are five houses, each painted a different color.
2. In each house lives a person of different nationality.
3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke
different brands of cigars, and keep a different pet.
The question: Who owns the fish?
HINTS:
1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede has dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is next to, and to the left of, the white house.
5. The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall has birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the center house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next the one who has cats.
11. The man who has 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 neighbor who drinks water.
Albert Einstein wrote this riddle early in the 19th century.
He said that 98% of the world's population would not be able to solve it.

Give me a hint please? I was going to set up a table and check yes and no for the varius variables, but there are too many variables for one table. I even set up three tables and then realized this wasn't enough either. Is this one of those things that is easier than it looks if you just know the formula? My brain hurts. Come on Bob, be the nice guy you keep telling me you are and give another hint.
I don't know, haven't worked it out.
The only advantage I have is that I know how to cheat.
Okay, Beck, back to work!
Bob
Okay Bob, I have no idea how long I've been piecing this together but please please let this be right? LOL.
Don't you just hate a smartass community leader? <lol>
I haven't finished working it out, but I'm pretty sure you are right.
Congradulations to Dan aka Harp. Probably one of the smartest people on the zone.
Bob
guess he's the 2 percent that could figure it out!
wow. that was my first thought, even before i finished reading the damn thing. lol
It's official. Dan's a smart... no, I mean, Dan's smart.
But, two percent?
Anyway, I never finished working it out, but I looked up the answer and well... I hate to admit it... I can't get the words out...
Dan aka Harp won.
