I recently stumbled upon a website that posted a question put up by Albert Einstein. Einstein believed that only 2% of the people in the world could complete this. If you do, according to him, you are in the upper percentage with an IQ over 132. Here's the scenario:

• There are 5 houses in 5 different colors.
• In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
• These 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet.
• No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink.

The question: Who owns the fish? Here are more clues to help you solve the problem:

1. The man living in the house right in the middle drinks milk
2. The Norwegian lives in the first house (the house on the left end)
3. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
4. The green house owner drinks coffee
5. The green house is on the left of the white house
6. The Brit lives in a red house
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill
8. The man who keeps horses lives next door to the man who smokes Dunhill
9. The Swede keeps dogs as pets
10. The Dane drinks tea
11. The person who smokes Pall Mall has birds
12. The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer
13. The German smokes Prince
14. The man who smokes Blend lives next door to the one who keeps cats
15. The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water

I have successfully solved this problem, but of course, I won't be spoiling the fun by posting it here. So please, don't spoil the fun by posting it in the comments. Brands of products mentioned above are copyrighted trademarks of their respective owners.

In case you need to flex your brain a little today, here's a puzzle that when solved, would let you open an excel file so you can add your name to the list. Here's the story:

Bob goes to work very early but he encountered a problem. He forgot the five digit access code to his high-tech workshop. However, he remembered the five clues to get the right five digit access code. Here are the clues:

1. The fifth number plus the third number of the access code equals fourteen.
2. The fourth number is one more than the second number.
3. The first number is one less than twice the second number.
4. The second plus the third number equals ten.
5. The total of all the five numbers is thirty.

The answer is the password of the attached excel file! Crack the Code: Bob's Dilemma Once you have opened it, add your name and pass it on!

If you were able to crack the code and were able to open the excel file and you just see one name, don't assume that no one else has cracked the code but you and I. I removed the other entries as they left some information that would be useful for spammers. This is part of the unposted privacy policy that I enforce in this site. Happy Hunting!
