Einsteins Puzzle

LOL, I can't EVEN keep up with these, hurts my poor brain.

LOL thats why they call them brain teasers a better name for them would be migraine givers

Yeah, I need Ibuprophen!!!!! LOL

Yeah, read it once through and, um.... I give up.
What in the hades does all this mess have to do with a flippin' fish???? LMAO!

Ok, I need a hint. What kind of car does the guy that lives in the blue house drive?

Here's my guess:

1st House- The Norwegian lives in a yellow house with his cats, drinking water and smoking Dunhills.

2nd House- The Dane lives in the blue house with his horse, drinking tea and smoking Blends.

3rd House- The Brit lives in the red house with his birds, drinking milk and smoking Pall Malls.

4th House- The German lives in the green house with his FISH, drinking coffee and smoking Princes.

5th House- The Swede lives in the white house with his dogs, drinking beer and smoking Blue Masters.

If this is not right, I give up. I was never very good at these logic puzzles. But it was fun to try!

Well, 2_each... whats the answer??

The Norwegian owns the fish.

I have tried to attach a spreadsheet to show how I got the answer, but you can only attach Zip, text, and images . Here is what I did: I listed the houses across the top row (my row headers) then I listed each option in a group below each house. For example:

House 1....House 2....House 3...
Red........Red........Red
Blue.......Blue.......Blue
Yellow.....Yellow.....Yellow
****************************
Dogs.......Dogs.......Dogs
Cats.......Cats.......Cats
Fish.......Fish.......Fish

etc....


Read through the clues and each time you get one that disqualifies another, mark through it. The first usable clue is "green house is on the immediate left of the white house". You know that House #5 cannot be GREEN because it isn't on the immediate left of any house. So mark GREEN out of House #5's colors. The next clue you can use is "The green house owner drinks coffee" you know this guy does not live in house #5 is not drinking coffee (because house #5 cannot be green). Read through all the clues, use the ones you can, then start over. The clues build on each other to eliminate all the options the more you read through them.

So,
#1 Norwegian, Yellow house, Dunhill, Fish, Water
#2 Dane, Blue house, Blend, Horses, Tea
#3 Brit, Red house, Pall Mall, Cats, Milk
#4 German, Green house, Prince, Birds, Coffee
#5 Swede, White house, Blue Master, Dogs, Beer

MandoMama - you are right!! I was dying from suspense, I had to Google it!!!

Yeah!! I usually get riddles/puzzles wrong!!

What would we do without Google?? LoL
