Pay attention and are very patient. Give it a try:<br /><br />There are 5 houses in 5 different colors in a row. 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. <br /><br />Other facts: <br />The Brit lives in the red house. <br />The Swede keeps dogs as pets. <br />The Dane drinks tea. <br />The green house is on the immediate left of the white house. <br />The green house's owner drinks coffee. <br />The owner who smokes Pall Mall rears birds. <br />The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill. <br />The owner living in the center house drinks milk. <br />The Norwegian lives in the first house. <br />The owner who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats. <br />The owner who keeps the horse lives next to the one who smokes Dunhill. <br />The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer. <br />The German smokes Prince. <br />The Norwegian lives next to the blue house. <br />The owner who smokes Blends lives next to the one who drinks water. <br /><br />The question is : WHO OWNS THE FISH?

I don't care if you post you answer.<br />Oh, lets give it a day, so more can give it a try.<br />I will post answer in a day or two.<br /><br />Yes, some of you have seen it before, but we have 15,000 new members that haven't seen it.<br /><br />Don't bother looking for the previous posting, I have deleted the answers. :mad: :(

Can't even get the reply correct. Remove the "no" just before FISH.<br /><br />Sigh<br />Andrew

Good gosh no wonder I cant get the lifter out of my engine, I can’t even figure this one out. Someone’s got to tell me what the &$% green house, German, coffee, prince got to do with the fish.<br />-------------------------------------------<br />There are old sailor, and bold sailors,<br />but there are no old bold sailors.

Re: CastawayRay, You want a riddle/puzzle??

yanno, I had to peek ... the green house had the most no no no no no's around it ... <br /><br />the thing is, I am trying to condense fridays trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art into a ten page paper comparing contrasting two paintings and two sculptures, pre and post 1900<br /><br />My favs were 1885, lol, Rodin works, exquisitely beautiful works, and not for nothin, but ive lived in Cherry Hill virtually my whole dammn 41 year old life, and that museum has been about 20 - 25 MINUTES away - even as a kid, I could have been to the high speed line by bike in 30 mins<br /><br />it is BEAUTIFUL, the works there are incomparable, how did they create such beauty in sooty, candlelit, pestilence ridden days<br /><br />of course, my pig side perked WAY WAY WAY up over some of the more lecherous works, Renoir's The Great Bathers is so natural its as if you could splash in the water with the nubile little maidens (of course, in Renoirs day, they were old maids, lol)<br /><br />it is also relentlessly perfect, how do I convey that in written form, especially this tyrant teacher that is Hirohito school japanese, tiny biotch thinks shes a miscast samuri or something, says do not use fluff words, no I think, I feel, beautiful, breathtaking, etc etc<br /><br />WTF!<br /><br />(affectless, monotone voice) The painting was well lit, paid proper attention to shading and stroke(!)<br /><br />As if I, cartoonist proclivity aside, would criticize a RENOIR, sheesh, the woman is a candidate for euthanasia<br /><br />line up a puzzle for thursday night, Ill be cramming for a four chapter perception exam (just eye structure and chemical exchanges and adaptive reflexes, AGHHHHHH, lol, ONLY four chapters of dense material<br /><br />hmmmm, all this to make less money than I did 20 years ago driving a truck ::sigh:: I wish I never busted my back all those years ago<br /><br />eh, I can walk again, so what do doctors know anyway, lol
