Since people obviously cannot refrain from cheating, this is in fact the Einstein quiz and he said that 98% of people cannot solve it. Using a table though and by organising the information - I managed to come up with the answer - w00t. GL noobs.
Solve this question before, this is from albert einstein This is not hard, just take out a paper and have some draw, then can get the answer easily
Hey Geek, This was pretty hard to do in my head >.< so i admit i ended doing it up on paper ^.^ Still I got it right Thanks Geek
I'm extremely logical, but just looking at the wall of text proposed in the first post here kind of bored me. Sorry
Its flawed! as one owner can have more then one pet i worked this out in my head and i will tell you what i found out i know it says only look at who owns the fish but i found out lots more that wasnt asked =) The Danish man owns a horse while a horse cant be a pet as its classed as live stock the danish man technically doesnt own any pets at all, there for both the german and danish man could own the fish its more likely to be the german as the danish man owns some form of animal and by a process of elimination the odds are more in the favour of the german owning the fish. as the danish man owns "live stock" I also found that all the houses are in the same street and have to be in some form of terraced housing as the street wouldnt have just 5 houses it would be 7+ what means i can say the Swedish man lives next to a either a Violet house or Orange house these are still first and second primary colours its more likely to be a orange house as its more common then violet the owner would be french if that owner had a house next door he would own the violet house and be from finland. you can see this from the countrys that a listed and using common sense. The funny thing is that if we say Danish man has no pet and only live stock from the question we can get a patten 0= no pet 1 = has a pet House 1 = 0 House 2 = 1 House 3 = 0 House 4 = 1 House 5 = 0 House 6 = 1 - French (would own a cow) House 7 = 0 - Finland There for if the question was longer and had more houses we could say the french house had no pet but owned live stock such as most likely a cow and the finland house would own a house pet more likely to be a Hamster wait the house that has the finland person in would most likely drink wine and the french person would drink soda as the french person would be more suited to drinking wine it wouldnt be him that drank it so it would have to be the finland house. the french would drink soda as its the next drink possible to drink thats well known. now thiking of it house 7 wouldnt be Finland it would be norway and house 8 would be Finland cant be arsed to change the rest of my text but ive looked at a map and its more likley to be norway as house 6 as you can see a patten build up. house 9 would be spain
