Not political but fun.
ALBERT EINSTEIN'S RIDDLE
ARE YOU IN THE TOP 2% OF INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD? SOLVE THE RIDDLE AND FIND OUT.
There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and don't give up.
1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
2. In each house lives a person of different nationality
3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.
THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?
HINTS
1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.
ALBERT EINSTEIN WROTE THIS RIDDLE EARLY DURING THE 19th CENTURY. HE SAID THAT 98% OF THE WORLD POPULATION WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE IT. |

The green house. I figured that out while driving the Ohio Turnpike, which makes me not only part of the top 2% group, but perhaps the smartest, yet slightly dangerous truck drivers out there. Outta the way! |

I've always hated those logic problems. My mom is awesome at them.
The problem here is that I don't believe there's only one "type" of intelligence. There are people who remember lots of facts but can't process ideas. There are people who are good at linear algebra but can't write a paper. You get my drift.
I've always known I'm not in the top 2%. I'm a 5%-type-of-girl. |

Actually, I have no use for either CB radios or the "private entrepreneurs" that sometimes find employment at truck stops. The conversation on the CBs is usually pretty juvenile, and so 20th century, in this era of cell phone internet. I did pull over to type my answer, BTW. |
