Eintstein's Riddle (Who own's the fish?)

Logic Level 3

We all know Albert Einstien is famous for his physics equations. But did you know he also wrote a long and highly difficult logical riddle? The riddle is quite famous and I don't know if someone's written a question on it on Brilliant before this, but I never found one so I am making this question. For the original riddle and solution, see this.

So, anyway, let's get into the question:

The situation - There are 5 houses in five different colours.

  • In each house lives a person with a different nationality.

  • These five 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?

Hints:

  • 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 centre 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 horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill

  • the owner who smokes BlueMaster drinks beer

  • the German smokes Prince

  • the Norwegian lives next to the blue house

  • the man who smokes blend has a neighbour who drinks water

The Dane The Swede The Brit The German The Norwegian

LOL Thanks. Turns out that reading fictional books that contain humorous characters usually develop your sense of humor. And I have read a lot of those books. (Suggestion - The Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series'). :)

@A Former Brilliant Member I read one of the books. And I watched one of them - Both was the first one and the same one!

@A Former Brilliant Member DO NOT WATCH THE MOVIES!!!!!! Read the books, once you read the books, you can watch the movies if you want. There are only 2 movies anyway.

Spoiler Alert : The movies suck more than the world's best straw.

You'll get the books online if you don't want to pay money. Go to - https://novels77.com/new-releases.html

Then search 'Percy Jackson' and you'll find them all.
