ALBERT EINSTEIN'S RIDDLE

ARE YOU IN THE TOP 2% OF INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD? SOLVE THE RIDDLE AND FIND OUT.

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.
12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.

ALBERT EINSTEIN WROTE THIS RIDDLE EARLY DURING THE 19th CENTURY. HE SAID THAT 98% OF THE WORLD POPULATION WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE IT.

The answer is on the Internet but it is more challenging to work it out yourself.

How did he manage that? He was not born until the 1870's and some of the companies mention were not in existence until the 20th century?

I merely copied and pasted - it should be THE 1900's - someone doesn't know their centuries from their rear orifice!     _))*

Technically correct, without a doubt, but not the answer I was looking for! The answer lies in the town of Conwy.

It's not in any shop. Before the Conwy Tunnel was built, thousands of people saw it every day, though.

Yes! Written in proper red paint (as opposed to spray paint), 'Chimp Loves Bray' is on the right-hand stone pillar of the bridge as you leave Conwy. It must date back to the 1960s, has been seen by probably millions of car drivers and is still visible (just about) today. I wonder if Chimp still loves Bray or did it all go sour? Does anyone know who they are?

The photo shows the Sheep Breeders Conference in Llandudno in 1962. But where was it held?
