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?

Should be the German. At first I thought it was the Brit.

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