Five houses of Einstein![]() I was reading "The Houdini Solution"; there's a puzzle all the way at the end. Einstein supposedly came up with it.
There are 5 houses of 5 different colors with owners of 5 different nationalities. Each owns a different kind of pet, prefers a different kind of drink and smokes a different brand of cigar. The question was, who owns fish? It took me a lot of scribbling to figure it out. * The Brit lives in a red house * The Swede has a dog * The Dane likes tea * The green house is next to the white one * The person in the green house likes coffee * The person who smokes Pall Mall has birds * The person in the yellow house smokes DUnhill * The person in the middle house likes milk * The Norwegian lives in the first house * The person who smokes Blend lives next to the one who owns cats * The person who owns horses lives next to the one who smokes Dunhill * The person who smokes Blue Master likes beer * The German smokes Prince * The Norwegian lives next to the blue house * The person who smokes Blend lives next to the one who drinks water Commentsshazymo

Oh, my husband was trying to solve this thing some days ago. Either this or something very similar.
