Einstein’s Riddle

•September 4, 2009 • Leave a Comment

It’s purported that Einstein said 98% of the world’s population could not figure out this logic problem. Try your hand at it. Send us an email message if you figure it out. (Use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page.)

A logical question.

There are 5 houses each with a different color. Their owners, each with a unique heritage, drinks a certain type of beverage, smokes a certain brand of cigarette, and keeps a certain variety of pet. None of the owners have the same variety of pet, smoke the same brand of cigarette or drink the same beverage.

Clues:

•The Brit lives in the red house.
•The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
•The Dane drinks tea.
•Looking from infront, the green house is just to the left of the white house.
•The green house’s owner drinks coffee.
•The person who smokes Pall Malls raises birds.
•The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
•The man living in the center house drinks milk.
•The Norwegian lives in the leftmost house.
•The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
•The man who keeps a horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
•The owner who smokes Bluemasters also drinks beer.
•The German smokes Prince.
•The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
•The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.
Who owns the pet fish?

I have done it before, but I thought I would do it again. One of my friends at work does really great work with photography. You can see some of it on his website.

Sometimes the sacrifices are clear and readily recognizable as evident by all those that gave their lives in the pursuit of freedom. But there are countless other sacrifices which go on everyday. There are many families in our school and immediate social circles who are dealing with absent mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and relatives. While my wife was away caring for her family in Montana, I caught a glimpse of what military family life might be like. How the whole family has to re-draw its inner workings while a loved one is away. I gained a lasting respect for those that make that tough situation work and sacrifice to serve our country. Those sacrifices should be recognized as well since those scars can be deep and lasting on the families which cope with absence.

This post was prompted by an email from my Dad with these cartoons in it. I thought they were fitting and should be more widely distributed. As a tribute to those who gave their lives for our country but also as a tribute to him since he did both … a veteran and an amazing father. I know that he and my mother sacrificed and live my life as proof it was not in vane.

Thanks to all you Veterans and their families who sacrificed and continue to do so every day for our country. Please know that your efforts are not lost on the “spoiled generations” to follow. We have respect and thankfulness … :)

Even though we are not there in person, we are there in spirit. We are all thinking of you down here in San Diego and send you our love and prayers.

When my mom went thru battling cancer with her sister Judy, they both came to love this song from Sarah Mclachlan.
