This one's really tricky! According to legend, this riddle was devised by Albert Einstein as a child:
There are five houses in a row (numbered 1,2,3,4 and 5) painted five different colours. A person with a different nationality lives in each house. The five house owners each drink a certain type of beverage, play a certain sport and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, same sport or drink the same beverage. Who owns the fish?
The facts: a) The Briton lives in the red house b) The Swede has a dog c) The Dane drinks tea d) The green house is left of the white e) The person in the green house drinks coffee f) The football player rears birds g) The person in the yellow house plays baseball h The person in house 3 drinks milk i) The Norwegian lives in house 1 j) The person who plays volleyball lives next to the one with cats k) The man who has a horse lives next to the man who plays baseball l) The owner who drinks beer plays tennis m)The German plays hockey n) The Norwegian lives next to the blue house o) The man who plays volleyball has a neighbour who drinks water
This is possible! A tip is to draw a table. Fill it with everything you know, and work out stuff from there.
Good luck!!
