  Do you want to test if you belong to 2% of intellectuals? Then try to solve the following task. No tricks, just pure logic. Albert Einstein compiled it in the early 20th century and maintained that 98% of the population won't be able to solve it.
  
  There are 5 houses on one street, which are painted in 5 different colors. In every house lives a citizen of another country. Each of them drinks his own beverage, smokes his own cigarettes and keeps his own animal. You have to find out who keeps fish.
  
  1. The Englishman lives in the red house.
  2. The Swede keeps a dog.
  3. The Dane drinks tea.
  4. The green house stand left from the white one, next to it.
  5. The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
  6. The one who smokes Pall-Mall keeps birds.
  7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills.
  8. The owner of the middle house drinks milk.
  9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
  10. The one who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps a cat.
  11. The one who keeps horses lives next to the one who smokes Dunhills.
  12. The one who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
  13. The German smokes Prince.
  14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
  15. The neighbours of one who smokes Blends drinks water.
  
  I solved it!!

  You, sir, are absolutely right.
  
  I doubt that it is 2% that can solve it.

  Obviously evry one here made it to 2 per cent
  
  answer is the white house keep the fish
  
  evryone follow the retarded too.
  can't be right if it's only the 2 per cent?
  
  Einstein has the only answer taht's right
  
  What did he says is right?
  
  The question
  
  or the answer?

  No, this is not for the 2% intellectuals but this is for those who got alot of free time to draw out a table and fill in the columns so that he/she can find the missing piece in order to derive the answer.

  Quite retarded in some ways. Most of the clues are given.
  
  So just compile........... and will have answer.
