  1. Don't post the answer here and spoil it for everyone else. It's pretty tough, but not nearly as tough as it sounds. I doubt that 98% of people couldn't get it...

    There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and don't give up.

    1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
    2. In each house lives a person of different nationality
    3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

    THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

    HINTS

    1. The Brit lives in a red house.
    2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
    3. The Dane drinks tea.
    4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
    5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
    6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
    7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
    8. The man living in the centre house drinks milk.
    9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
    10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
    11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.

    I found that very tough.

    It took me an hour & 6 minutes but I felt very satisfied when I'd done it. :))

  8. I just couldn't be bothered, I hate riddles...

    I made a leap and got it in about 30 minutes, there is a short cut that leaves out some variables, but it took me about an hour and a half to prove to myself I got it right.
