My Favorite Riddle-

• There are 5 houses that are each a different colour.

• There is a person of a different nationality in each house.

• The 5 owners drink a certain drink. They each smoke a certain brand of cigarettes and also have a certain pet. No owner has the same pet, smokes the same brand of cigarettes nor drinks the same drink.

• The question is. “Who has the fish?”

 

CLUES

 

1. The British man lives in the red house.

2. The Swedish man has a dog for a pet.

3. The Danish man drinks tea.

4. The green house is to the left of the white house.

5. The owner of the green house drinks coffee.

6. The person that smokes Pall Mall has a bird.

7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.

8. The person that lives in the middle house drinks milk.

9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.

10. The person that smokes Blend, lives next to the one that has a cat.

11. The person that has a horse lives next to the one that smokes Dunhill.

12. The one that smokes Bluemaster drinks beer.

Nope. The man saw plums on the tree. There can't have been none.

The German had the fish

I heard this as a kid and it took me a couple of days to remember the answer! I waited three more days for anyone else to guess.

 

The man had not eyes, but he had one eye. He saw plums plural, so if he didn't take plums plural he only took one. He didn't leave plums plural so there must have been only two to begin with, leaving one after he took one! :D

I like doing little logic puzzles like that. I just made a little graph and marked X and O on the squares (O for things the person had, X for things they didn't have) And figured it out that way.
