Now for Einstein's riddle. Einstein said that 98% of the world's population would not be able to solve it. I want to see how FAST everyone can solve this as it is pretty taxing! Please don't just look the answer up on the web and say "I did it in 10 mins" etc... Be honest and say what time you did it in (if you were able to solve it that is!) For those who already know the answer, please don't spoil :P. I did this in around 30 minutes but I did get VERY LUCKY. Good luck!

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

TIP: Writing stuff down is highly recommended!

iLLusioN.ReW: correct! I guess that one wasn't too difficult.

Here's my next riddle:

You are an archaeologist that has just unearthed a long-sought triplet of ancient treasure chests. One chest is plated with silver, one with gold, and one with bronze. According to legend, one of the three chests is filled with great treasure, whereas the other two chests both house man-eating pythons that can rip your head off. Faced with a dilemma, you then notice that there are inscriptions on the chests:

Silver Chest: Treasure is in this Chest.

Gold Chest: Treasure not in this Chest.

Bronze Chest: Treasure is not in the Gold Chest.

You know that at least one of the inscriptions is true, and at least one of the inscriptions is false. Which chest do you open?

you have 20 coin machines, each of which produce the same kind of coin. you know how much a coin is supposed to weigh. one of the machines is defective, in that every coin it produces weighs 1 ounce less than it is supposed to. you also have an electronic weighing machine. how can you determine which of the 20 machines is defective with only one weighing? (by one use, we mean you put a bunch of stuff on the machine and read a number, and that's it -- you not allowed to accumulate weight onto the machine and watch the numbers ascend, because that's just like multiple weighings). you are allowed to crank out as many coins from each machine as you like.
