Einstein's riddle...
| Message Board > General Chitchat > Einstein's riddle... |
| BBJones User Info... | If you like these types of things here you go. And yes, you can cheat and get the answer on the internet if you are one of those types. Be a sport and at least don't post the answer here. I'm curious to see how many can get this, and how long it takes you. Took me about 30 minutes.... ouch my head hurts! :) ********************************************************* Einstein�s Riddle There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners 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 or drink the same beverage. The question is �Who owns the fish?� Facts: 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 man living in the center house drinks milk. The Norwegian lives in the first house. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats. The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill. The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer. The German smokes Prince. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water. **Einstein said 98% of the world could not solve it.** - Mon, 17 Mar 2003 1:15pm | ||

| jackass | crap...formatting doesn't work too well there are 3 different answers there - Mon, 17 Mar 2003 2:09pm | ||
| Anonymous | oooops wasn't supposed to put the answers up was I? - Mon, 17 Mar 2003 2:18pm | ||
| unattainable | Ok, I'm the QUEEN of GEEKS! 21 min. I love shit like that. Got more? - Mon, 17 Mar 2003 9:33pm | ||
| unattainable | Uh, supergeek here again, I might have gotten it wrong. It works different if green is further to the left of white. it still works though, but different answer?????? NOW my head hurts. - Mon, 17 Mar 2003 9:50pm | ||
| BBJones User Info... | I'm pretty certain it only works one way... if you got two answers, one is wrong ;) Either check it on the internet or email me and I'll let you know... I got it wrong the first time in less than 21 minutes. Beat that! =) - Mon, 17 Mar 2003 10:35pm | ||
| unattainable | Ok big guy, you're ON! I was confused through the whole damn thing, but I checked this and I'm sur-ish that it works. But first, what do I get if I'm right and I'm rightfully the Queen? - Mon, 17 Mar 2003 11:09pm | ||
| jackass | someone posted this puzzle where I work last year...out of the 1300+ employees who saw the puzzle, there were 2 different answers that came up. The Norwegian or the German can have the fish. - Tue, 18 Mar 2003 9:51am | ||
| BBJones User Info... | Well since I posted this... I guess I'm the King. If you're worthy to be the queen, you will get a fancy seat at my side (lower than me of course), you get to tell people what to do (unless I say otherwise), people will listen to you and respect you (only becuase I'm the King), and behind closed doors you do what I say or I get to put your head on a spike. Who would pass up that opportunity huh? ;) But let's see if you're right first... can't have an un-worthy Queen, the people would revolt! Unless I told them not too... being the King rules! - Tue, 18 Mar 2003 11:41am | ||
| unattainable | uh, this isn't sounding right... But yeah, I KNOW both these work. What that guy said wasn't what I got. I'll e-mail you. But then you'll have to come back here with all FULL respect and bow down before me, cuz you'll know that with all I got I could topple this hierarchal system! - Tue, 18 Mar 2003 12:11pm | ||
| unattainable | Just an update... the king is hanging his head in shame, after having to bow down to the QUEEN! - Tue, 18 Mar 2003 1:15pm | ||
| BBJones User Info... | Actually, the Evil King is still waiting for an answer from the "yet to be crowned" person masquerading as the Queen. And the King does not bow (except at Slayer shows... or to look up a dress) - Tue, 18 Mar 2003 1:43pm | ||
| unattainable | Ok, I've been to every Slayer show in the last few years so I'll just assume you were bowing down to me there and that the timeline's just fucked up. TWO correct answers, all spelled out for you (cuz i know you're slow), were sent, LONG AGO. Just buying time? Ok, just pick the easiest then, and oh yeah, I'm still all impressed by the wee wee thing, since apparently thats all you've got... J U S T T A K E Y O U R T I I I M E - Tue, 18 Mar 2003 2:05pm | ||
| BBJones User Info... | Evil King sits on his throne (no not the shitter) with his fingers in his ears... "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah..." looks to his servant... "Is she done blabbing yet? Oh and how is that spike coming?" "Almost done your most correct and evil worshipness" "Good. Inform me once she decides to answer the riddle with a single answer, I do not wish to choose for her." Evil Kings puts his fingers back in his ears... - Tue, 18 Mar 2003 2:22pm | ||
