Einstein wrote this riddle last century and said that 98% of the world’s population would not be able to solve it.

• There are 5 houses that are each a different color.
• 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?”

LOL. It's amazing how many minutes/hours/days/months people will spend to be included in the top 2%. Could your friend do it?

He's a programmer too, his first reaction was "Uff I have enough of that everyday"

Yeah that 2% thing is a great hook!Emotion: smile

is it true that only 2% of people will get this? im not a very smart person but i got this perfectly...

I think he did just add in the 2% to get people to try it... I bet most people who try it and keep trying will get it eventually... or maybe Einstein didnt think people were that smart 1 century ago.
