#523158 — Einstein’s riddle, only 2% of the world’s population is able to solve

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. Other facts: 

1. The Brit lives in the red house. 
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets. 
3. The Dane drinks tea. 
4. The green house is on the immediate left of the white house. 
5. The green house's owner drinks coffee. 
6. The owner who smokes Pall Mall rears birds. 
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill. 
8. The owner living in the center house drinks milk. 
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house. 
10. The owner who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats. 
11. The owner who keeps the horse lives next to the one who smokes Dunhill.
12. The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer. 
13. The German smokes Prince. 
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house. 
15. The owner who smokes Blends lives next to the one who drinks water. 

The question is: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

Since there is no stated fact to the effect that there exists a fish 
that is owned by someone, the question cannot be answered without making 
an assumption.

Show that the problem can be solved without making the assumption that 
one of the pets is a fish.

The issue could have been resolved by

16. One of the pets is a fish.

but that statement was not present.

How about this "The question is: WHO OWNS THE FISH?"? Is not part of the 
problem?

The answer might be "nobody, because there's no fish", or the situation 
may be that the question is incapable of being answered.

Until we have a statement of fact about the fish, we can't reach any 
conclusion.

Since Einstein's problem is famous in AI circles as "the zebra problem"
and I see no zebra, it's obviously a conspiracy by the Illuminati
to cover up the real source of the 9/11 attacks.

Suicide Risk Drops 26% After Talk Therapy
TIME, 24 Nov 2014 18:14Z 
Suicide is a problem with few concrete preventive solutions, but a new study 
in Lancet Psychiatry finds that intervening with talk therapy after a 
suicide attempt seems to have some amazing long-term effects.

.2 chance for that, so even guessing randomly, those 2% should extend to 
20 according to the Divergent Matter Model. Just another right prediction.

No is not. I said it before you. The measurement is real in spite of that. 
Reveals they didnt got to the point to realize that.

They reached not that far, making them able to know that the probability 
by guessing is 0.2. You are an idiot.
