You don't bury the survivors!! tongue.gif I've heard that one before... and the one about the balloon guy Bob, well if the dropped the bottles over the coast, they would hit the sea not the ground... but it's kinda confusing!!!

There are five houses in a row and in five different colours.

In each house lives a person from a different country.

Each person drinks a certain drink, plays a certain sport, and keeps a certain pet.

No two people drink the same drink, play the same sport, or keep the same pet.

The Brit lives in a red house
The Swede keeps dogs
The Dane drinks tea
The green house is on the left of the white house
The green house owner drinks coffee
The person who plays polo rears birds
The owner of the yellow house plays hockey
The man living in the house right in the centre drinks milk
The Norwegian lives in the first house
The man who plays baseball lives next to the man who keeps cats
The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who plays hockey
The man who plays billiards drinks beer
The German plays soccer
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
The man who plays baseball has a neighbour who drinks water.


Who Owns The Fish?
This was given to me as an exercise in logic puzzles. I think it is a great puzzle. According to the worksheet I was given this puzzle is attributed to Albert Einstein. He claimed that 98% of the world could not work it out. Can you?

I can tell you if your right because i havent tried it yet!
flute_gurl
woohoo! I got it right! (exactly the same as cecilia) I'm so proud of myself tongue.gif
cecilia
Heh, are you sure I was right in the first place though?
flute_gurl
well no, but seeing as we both got exactly the same for every house I think it's quite likely we're right!
