A Brain Teaser

Albert Einstein once posed a brain teaser that he predicted only 2% of the worlds population would be able to solve.

FACTS:
1. There are 5 houses in 5 different colours.
2. In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
3. These 5 owners drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigarette and keep a certain pet.
4. No owners have the same pet, brand of cigarette, or drink.


1. The Brit lives in a red house
2. The Swede keeps a dog
3. The Dane drinks tea
4. The green house is next to, and on the left of the white house.
5. The green house owner drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall keeps 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 Camel drinks beer
13. The German smokes Marlborough.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
15. The man who smokes Blend has a neighbour who drinks water.

The question is, who keeps the fish as a pet?

Use logics and don't cheat by googling.

You aren't among 2% if you cheat.

The brain's abilities to reason, comprehend and remember may start to decline as early as 45 years.
Mental exercises are recommended to enhance and maintain mental acuity.
The brain, just like the physical body, needs to be exercised.

Hahaha! What if a person says, 'I don't subscribe to these exclusive clubs'; would the assertion by Einstein be true?

Or what if someone decides to solve the puzzle in ten years? Would he still be among the 2%

How many attempts does one have to be among the two percent? Are those who get it after 10 attempts equal to those who do it in the first attempt?

Was Einstein an expert on human intelligence and it's distribution across all groups of people?

The puzzle has no time limit. You can take many attempts, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or even years to solve. The faster solver or slower solver are in the 2%.
Answer these Guiding questions

1. Who lives in yellow house?
2.Who drinks water?
3.Who smokes Camel?
4. Who keeps the fish?

Use of a logic table is recommended but not a must.

Why does it seem that many if not most humans wish to be in exclusive groups, that are depended upon by the rest?

I think it's because such exclusivity increases the chances of beating or reducing competition in perceived scarcity. Prizes are for the top five or top three. Top, first, to succeed is to win.

Life is perceived to be a race. But those who've pondered before us also know that it's racing after the wind.

1. The Kenyan lives in the blue house.
2.The Nigerian wears a Timex watch.
3.The Egyptian drinks coca cola.
4. The red house is next to, and on the left of the white house.
5.The owner of red house drinks coffee.
6.The person who drives BMW wears an Omega watch.
7.The owner of the green house drives a Jaguar.
8.The man living in the center house drinks water.
9.The Ugandan lives in the first house.
10.The man who drives a Honda lives next to the one who wears a Seiko watch.
11.The man who wears the Zenith watch lives next to the man who drives a Jaguar.
12.The Tanzanian drives an Audi.
13.The man who drives a Volvo drinks beer.
14.The Ugandan lives next to the yellow house.
15.The man who drives a Honda has a neighbour who drinks milk.

BIG QUESTION: WHO WEARS THE ROLEX WATCH?

Now that there is a Kenyan included, hopefully 20% can solve the puzzle!!!

Guiding questions:
1.Who stays in the green house?
2.Who drives the Honda?
3.WHO WEARS THE ROLEX WATCH?

The German & his fish. Give away was Dane takes tea and he could only live in the blue or white house. Guy who takes beer could only live in white or blue house, the only other drink missing was water. If u place water in the blue or white house either beer or tea would be without a house(owner) and there is no way beer could go to the yellow house since owner smoked Dunhill. Tea could not go to the yellow house also since the owner was Norwegian contradicting "the dane drinks tea"

Some people at wazua actually solved the Einstein's puzzle. Now try this Africanized version of the puzzle. There is a Kenyan included so hopefully twenty percent can solve it.
