    TroubleShooting a computer related problem is exactly like solving a riddle....you must think logically.

    There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and don't give up.


    1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colors.
    2. In each house lives a person of a different nationality.
    3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, eat a different kind of candy bar and keep a different type of pet.

    THE QUESTION: Who Owns the Fish?


    Hints

    1. The Brit lives in a red house.
    2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
    3. The Dane drinks Snapple.
    4. The Green house is on the left of the White house.
    5. The owner of the Green house drinks apple juice.
    6. The person who eats Snickers rears birds.
    7. The owner of the Yellow house eats Butterfinger
    8. The man living in the center house drinks milk.
    9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
    10. The man who eats Payday lives next to the one who keeps cats.
    11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who eats Butterfinger.
    12. The man who eats Milkyway drinks soda.
    13. The German eats Hersheys
    14. The Norwegian lives next to the Blue house.
    15. The man who eats Payday had a neighbor who drinks water.


    Albert Eintein wrote this riddle early during the 19th century. He said that 98% of the world population would NOT be able to solve it.




    My teacher in my ComputerTech class gave us this riddle. Took some people 1-2 hours to get it.

    Its a classic riddle just re told

    the real facts say
    * The Brit lives in the red house.
    * The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
    * The Dane drinks tea.
    * The green house is on the left of the white house.
    * The green homeowner drinks coffee.
    * The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
    * The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
    * The man living in the center house drinks milk.
    * The Norwegian lives in the first house.
    * The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
    * The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
    * The owner who smokes Bluemaster drinks beer.
    * The German smokes prince.
    * The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
    * The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water. +

    house 1 color had to be yellow whitch means that he was norweigian drinking water and he smokes dunhill which must have ment his pet was a cat.

    hose 2 color was blue which ment he smoked blend was dane and drinking tea which led me to belive his pet was a hourse

    house 3 lived a brite that livied in a red house which ment he was drinking milk while smoking pall wall

    house 5 gave the awser away because he drank beer he smokes Bluemaster, which ment he was a swede that lived in a white house whith a pet dog. Which left the last house to be number 4 whtih the fish. You can cheak everythig it basicly cheaks itslef
