Apparently Albert Einstein devised this puzzle early during the 19th century and said that 98% of the world's population would not be able to solve it.  I tried it out the other day and managed it in roughly an hour and a half and didn't find it very difficult at all...

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

Clues:

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 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 center 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.

So, who owns the fish?

We used to do a bunch of puzzles like this with matrices in the Gifted & Talented class in middle school. I loved them. I kicked ass at them.

We did this one then too. It's the German.

I fail at these kinds of puzzles. They're WAY too complex for my simple mind

No, I'm right...

98% of people get it wrong because 80% don't bother, and the other 18% are people who make a fundemental error, by thinking its the german.
