My co-worker sent me this riddle. Took me about 20 minutes...silly work getting in the way of solving riddles!!!!

"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 color. 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?”

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.

I did that back in highschool and got the correct answer by working through it. I posted it on another forum and everybody google cheated instead of working it through.

Yeah I figured it would happen. Just wanted to share in case the few people that don't cheat and haven't seen it before wanted to actually work through it.

I came up with an answer very quickly. But it wasn't the same answer that came up in Google, but I didn't expect it to

. I think WAY outside the box I guess.

It's Black Mica. The blue is a lighter shade and kind of a pearl, it's called Cosmic Blue.

Thanks BTW.

^Did you know your brake light said Mazda 3? I got stuck behind one in traffic the other day and it kept friggen flashing mazda 3 at me. I was like oh no shit I had no idea it's a mazda 3.

^^ I don't think all of them do that. But then again I've never been standing behind my car when I have the brakes on.

There is only mention of a horse, bird, dog and cat. No fish! No where is it stated that a fish is had by any of the house owners.

When you work out the riddle, you'll figure it out.

I think Heisenberg would side with me; the "riddle" is inconclusive. After all, Einstein was a crazy. [Heisenberg and Einstein had a love/hate relationship.]
