There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 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 beverage. The question is: Who owns the fish? Just to make sure you are not making any wild guessing, please include the nationality, color, beverage and brand of cigar.  Hints:

This one is clever! I do know the answer beause ive done this one before,so i wont answer this one. But lets just say, if you look close enough the answer is staring you in the face!
You should do one everyday Djk, you could become the gameshow king, a bleeping computer gameshow, now that would be pretty cool!

Woah, nice riddles Djk. I didn't get the first one at all and gave up instantly (I'm 98% of people
), but I got the second one after a while..I've only just realised how stupid I am; and how obvious the answer is when you know it. More, more, more!!

Thanks Koan
Hehe, maybe, I just lack the patience to try to work out complicated things like that; I just get bored/confused and give up..

Aye! Rookie147.
Just like the initial question posed in this thread, has been bantered about for near 100 years, or more. It's called question zero or puzzel zero. It's a basic psych study question. Enjoy! -------------------- |

Well, I know the answer to the first one by reading what graveangel said..
 But I worked the second one out myself, although I won't post the answer, it may ruin the fun for someone else. Charles -------------------- If you are pleased with the service I have offered, you may like to consider making a donation. |
