Einstein's puzzle is a logic puzzle that involves varous attributes which must be correlated through a series of incomplete statements. This type of puzzle is so common that books are produced that contain special grids to help cross-reference the statements and solve the puzzle.
It is often called Einstein's Puzzle because it is said to have been invented by Albert Einstein as a boy - although this can't be true in the following wording, since Pall Mall cigarettes were not produced until 1939, when Einstein was middle-aged. A common claim attached to this puzzle is that Einstein said "only 2 percent of the world's population can solve this," although there is no source for such or quote - or for Einstein's authorship.
[edit]
The puzzle
There are exactly 5 houses on the street, in a line running from left to right. Each house is a different colour, and each has exactly one owner.
The 5 owners each drink a certain drink, each smoke a certain brand of cigarette, and each have a certain pet.
No owner drinks the same drink as any other.
No owner smokes the same brand of cigarettes as any other.
No owner has the same pet as any other.
The following statements are true:
1. The British man lives in the red house.
2. The Swedish man has a dog for a pet.
3. The Danish man drinks tea.
4. The green house is just to the left of the white house.
5. The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
6. The person that smokes Pall Mall has a bird.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The person that lives in the middle house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house (ie. the one on the far left).
10. The person that smokes Blend, lives next to the one that has a cat.
11. The person that has a horse lives next to the one that smokes Dunhill.
12. The one that smokes Bluemaster drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to a blue house.
15. The person that smokes Blend, knows someone else on the street that drinks water.

Great...shall we work on this problem together. Several heads are better than one...they say.Originally posted by charlize:No, only monster pop ups and spyware.

OK...I have figured out the the dog belongs to the Swedish man. So the fish is not his.
Please no need to thank me. Ok, the rest of you start thinking. -
I think i've figured it all out. I won't post the answers unless you guys want it, but trust me, it isn't that difficult that only 2 percent of all people can solve it. After awhile it becomes pretty easy, the pieces of the puzzle start falling into place. Anymore of these puzzles btw? Very fun
