Who owns the fish?
by Volker Weber
There are five houses in a row in different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The five owners drink a different drink, smoke a different brand of cigar and keep a different pet, one of which is a Walleye Pike.
- 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 house owner drinks coffee.
- The person who smokes Pall Malls keeps birds.
- The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills.
- The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk.
- The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
- The Norwegian lives in the first house.
- The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who smokes Dunhills.
- The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
- The German smokes Princes.
- The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
- The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.

There's one really difficult thing in that riddle: what is "left of" (Point 4)? As Einstein told us everything is relative to the position of the observer. But you're right, Martin. Some years ago I visualised the whole thing with Excel - see at http://www.m-pax.de/wp-content/files/einstein.jpg

This is basically the equivalent of a game my mother was addicted to about 10 years ago called Sherlock. It seems you can still get the game, even for Pocket PC: Sherlock for Windows
