Einstiens riddle

[Steve]

if anyone figures it out pm me the anser not to kill the others fun.

The story behind Einstein's riddle is that Albert Einstein created it in the late 1800s, and claimed that 98% of the world population couldn't solve it. I am not sure of the true origin, but I have seen this one floating around the internet, and it is a good brain exercise. Here it is:

- In a street there are five houses, painted five different colors.

- In each house lives a person of different nationality.

- These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

Einstein's riddle is: Who owns the fish?

Necessary clues:

1. The British man lives in a red house.
2. The Swedish man keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Danish man 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 center 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 Blends smoker lives next to the one who drinks water.

you can work it out with a kinda hyperbolic-shaped diagram, i think. i saw it a long time ago but i forget the specifics.

you solve every riddle, all in a different way. its not unsolveable , and i dont beleive only 2 percent get it right. it just takes piatence and well paitence.

I just made two tables and started filling stuff in.

Spoiler

None of them owns the fish. It was never specified in the clues and therefore, you have to make the assumption that there is a fish in the first place. The fifth person could be rearing snakes for all we know. However, you can say who might own the fish considering everyone else owns only one animal type.

But ignoring that assumption, it's not that difficult to solve (as I have done it before, I don't plan on resolving it).

I just tried it but screwed up somewhere. Ill try it again later.

Yeah, I did it years ago when I was really into that stuff. It's a bit more complex than other riddles of that kind due to the number of variables, but nothing that couldn't be solved with a Carroll diagram.

I think that 98% stuff was just made up by someone who solved it and wanted to look clever. Seriously, it's not that tricky.

I feel like such a failure.....

Here's a shorter and easier riddle:

Premises:
1. Dracula, his sister, his son and his daughter are all vampires.
2. The most blood-thirsty vampire's twin is of the opposite sex of the least blood-thirsty vampire.
3. The most blood-thirsty vampire is the same age as the least blood-thirsty vampire.

Conclusion:
Who is the most and who is the least blood-thirsty vampire?
