EINSTEINS BRAINTEASER
This quiz is supposed to have been written by Einstein. He said that 98% of the people in the world cannot solve the quiz. Could you be among the other 2%?


  

There are 5 houses, each is a different colour 
In each house lives a person of a different nationality. 
These 5 owners all drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet. 
No owner has the same pet, smokes the same brand of cigar or drinks the same drink as another owner. 

1: The Briton 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 (they are also next door to each other)
5: The green house owner 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 house right in the center drinks milk 
9: The Norwegian lives in the first house 
10: The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats 
11: The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill 
12: The owner 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 Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

House colour ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
Pet ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
Beverage ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
Smokes ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
Here's how it works:


9: The Norwegian lives in the first house
.

So we know, that of the row of five houses, the 
Norwegian
 
must
 live in house number 
1
.


14: The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
.

So now we know that house number 
2
 
must
 be blue.


8: The man living in the house right in the centre drinks milk


Although we do not yet know the colour, or occupant of the middle house, we 
do
 know that the person that lives there drinks 
milk
.


4: The green house is on the left of the white house (they are also next door to each other)
5: The green house owner drinks coffee


Since House 
2
 we already know is 
blue
, and the 
green
 and 
white
 house are next to each other, they must be 
3
 and 
4
 OR 
4
 and 
5
. However the owner of House 
3
 drinks 
milk
. So 
4
 must be the 
Green
 House and 
5
 must be the 
White
 House.


1: The Briton lives in a red house.


The Britons house 
has
 to be House number 
3
, as we know the occupant of House number 
1
, and we 
also
 know the colour of the three other Houses. We now also know that the 
Norwegians
 House 
must
 be the 
Yellow
 House, as that's the only colour left.


7: The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill
.

Got to be the 
Norwegian
.


11: The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill
.

So this 
has
 to be the occupant of the 
Blue
 House, as this is next door to the 
Norwegian
.


3: The Dane drinks tea
12: The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer 
15: The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.


Okay, here is where we get all the drinks sorted out. The 
Dane
 could be living in House 
2
 or 
5
. The person who smokes 
Blue Master
 could also be 
2
 or 
5
. But the 
Dane
 can't be 
5
, otherwise House 
2
 would be the 
Blue Master
 smoker and 
beer
 drinker, which would only leave House 
1
 for the 
water
 drinking neighbour. This doesn't work, since this would now make House 
2
 the 
Blend smoker
. So the 
Dane
 is in House 
2
, the 
Blue Master
 and 
beer
 drinker is in House 
5
, and the 
water
 drinker is the 
Norwegian
 in House 
1
.


13: The German smokes Prince
.

We know that the 
Norwegian
 smokes 
Dunhill
 and the 
Dane
 smokes 
Blend
. So this leaves us Houses 
3, 4
 and 
5
. But we 
also
 know that House 
3
 is occupied by the 
Briton
, and that House 
5
 smokes 
Blue Master
. So the only place the 
German
 could go, would be House 
4
.


2: The Swede keeps dogs as pets
.

We now know who lives in House 
5
, as that was the only nationality we hadn't placed.


6: The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.


The only person who's smoking habits we 
haven't
 figured out yet is the 
Britons
, and we now 
also
 know he rears (fnaaaaaaar) 
birds
.


10: The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats
.

The 
Dane
 smokes 
Blend
, and he lives next to the 
Norwegian
, so the 
Norwegian
 
must
 be the cat lover.

Which leaves us with only one person without a pet: the German.

So it 
is
 the 
German
 who keeps 
fish
.


Fin.
But I 
surely
 get points for trying. ;)
