hello ladies and the occasional gents that go to this board (if there's any), here's a riddle. twas given to me last night. i've solved a logic riddle like this before but with only 4 different characters and 2, how do you say this, differences. there's about 5 houses here that has 4 differences. i did it 15 minutes tops.

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.

i had to match my answer online, and the guy who solved this thinks it might not be Einstein's riddle. it's fairly easy.
Ok I just spent about... an hour? working on this riddle. Is it the German in the Green house? lol

Try this try this ... so cute

How Smart is Your Right Foot?

This is so funny that it will boggle your mind.
And you will keep trying at least 50 more times to see if you can
outsmart your foot, but you can't.

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor
and make clockwise circles.


2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your
right hand.

Your foot will change direction!!! And there's nothing you can do about it!!!


Strange, but no matter how many times I do this, my foot doesn't change direction. It keeps going clockwise. Go my right foot!

Einstein riddle: German in the green house. :x): I seriously did not look at any answers after that post before I answered it.

Denise's Questions: (answereing in one go! 8D)
1.   What man shaves more than 20 times a day?
Sheepshearer
2.   With what 2 animals do you go to bed with everyday?
...o____O Not a clue...
3.   When your uncle’s sister is not your aunt?
When you're the uncle's wife's neice/nephew? (total shot in the dark)
4.   How many times can you subtract 2 from the number 32?
Once. Because it won't be '32' after you subtract 2. It will be '30'.
5.   Name 4 days starting with ‘T’.
Today, Tomorrow, Tuesday and Thursday (?) (again, shot in the dark)
6.   Imagine you are in a room with 3 switches. In an adjacent room, there are 3 bulbs, each switch belongs to some bulb. It is impossible too see from one room to the other. How can you find out which switch is for which bulb if you are allowed to go into the room with bulbs only once?
Um...turn on two switches, go into the room...remove two bulbs...WAIT! I got it! When you go into the room, move all the bulbs back into the switch room! :x): (It doesn't say you can't move them...)
7.   A knight was sentenced to death but was allowed to choose the way he would die. He was to say a statement, if it is true, he will be given the poisonous fruit tart; if it is false, he will be fed with poisonous wine. The knight thought for a moment then said his statement. The king got so confused that he finally let this knight off alive. What did the knight say?
He asked for death by old age.  :winky:
8.   15 knights were invited to a meal at the castle. Before sitting down, each of the 15 knights shook hands with each of the other knights. How many handshakes occurred?
o___O I don't think this is right, but '196'? (Hey, a third shot in the darkened room!)
9.   An old miser saves all the candle stubs he has burned. From every 9 stubs, he can make one whole candle. If miser has 345 stubs. What is the highest possible number of candles he can make?
38, with 3 extra stubs. :3
10.   What is the number that is 1 half of a quarter of 1 tenth of 400?
5. A tenth of 400 is 40, a quarter of 40 is 10, and half of 10 is 5.
11.   How many 2cent stamps are there in a dozen?
12. :x): Trick question!
12.   If  7 ballerinas dance for 8 hours an lose a total of 20 pounds, how many ballerinas dancing would it take to lose a total of 20  pounds in only 4 hours, if the new dancers lost weight only half as fast as the original 7?
28. There would have to be 4 times as many new ballerinas to lose the same amount of weight. Honestly, not too sure on this one...
13.   P’s age is 2/3 of her sister S, when P is 16 their mother is 48, how old was their mother when S was born?
D: *lost* I'm so bad with fractions...I got a far as knowing '16*(2/3)'. I think I'm wrong, though...
14.   The sales of SS shoe shop increases by 5 pairs every day, the total shoes sold in 5 days are 150 pairs. How many shoes were sold on the first day?
130? :/ (A fourth shot in the dark. I'm gonna run out of bullets soon...)
15.   The nett profit gained in a Stock Clearance Sale on the first day is $50, and increased constantly ($50) everyday. The total profit of the whole Sale is $750. How many days did the Sale go on?
15 days.
16.   X bought A & B with the price of $90, B costs 20% less than A, what is the price of B?
Uh~...$35? :x): (not a shopping girl) (Fractions and percentages are my weakness...)
17.   An apartment has 41 residents. At the beginning of the year, each of them sent a new year card to everyone else in the apartment. How many new year cards did the postman send in total?
Hmm...this is like the knight one earlier...but more... :/ I doubt this one is right, but '1600'? D: *math skills gone*
18.   Mr. White earns $400 less than Mr. Black, Mr. Blue earns $1200, which is $40 more than Mr. White. How much does Mr. Black earn?
$1560. I hope... (My fifth shot in the dark! :x):)
19.   Mr. Lee started renting a house since 01/01/1963. The rental increased by 100% every 4 years since 24 years ago, and will be raised to $1024 in 31/12/2002. It was Mr. Lee’s Nth year staying in that house when he paid his rental of $256. Find N.
...yeah, I got nothing...I'll take my last shot and say 12th. :x):
20.   Once upon a time, there was an old lady selling a vast quantity of eggs at the local market. When asked how many eggs exactly does she have, she replied: “I can’t count any further than 100, so I can’t count all these eggs. But I know that:
If you divide the number of eggs by 2, there’ll be 1 egg left
If you divide the number of eggs by 3, there’ll be 1 egg left
If you divide the number of eggs by 4, there’ll be 1 egg left
If you divide the number of eggs by 5, there’ll be 1 egg left
If you divide the number of eggs by 6, there’ll be 1 egg left
If you divide the number of eggs by 7, there’ll be 1 egg left
If you divide the number of eggs by 8, there’ll be 1 egg left
If you divide the number of eggs by 9, there’ll be 1 egg left
If you divide the number of eggs by 10, there’ll be 1 egg left
If you divide the number of eggs by 11, there’ll be no eggs left
So how many eggs does she have?
o____O I can't even begin to comprehend this...I'm going to guess 10. :x):

So the one's I didn't answer were...
2, 13, 19, and 20
I guessed , but wasn't sure, on...
3, 5, 8, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, and 18

Good luck to those who still want to answer them!

(And feel free to correct me. I know some of those answers are wrong...o___O)

Lets have some Rebus fun
just for starters,
A REBUS is a picture representation of a name, work, or phrase. Each "rebus" puzzle box below portrays a common word or phrase

for now, here's a link for some of them (there's a lot of them in google so just type rebus it'll appear)
http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/braintpics.htm
http://www.fun-with-words.com/rebus_puzzles.html
http://www.iqtestexperts.com/rebus-puzzles.php

i think it's a great pass time and it exercises our mind to think in another way
won't it be cool if we make a rebus puzzle/ story about arashi?
hehehe

forgive me for my lack of knowledge on computer

My first say in this game xD
I have a riddle for all of you:

I am just two and two. I am hot, I am cold. I am the parent of numbers that cannot be told. I'm a gift beyond measure, a matter of course. And I'm yielded with pleasure when taken by force.

This is actually from a book I recently just finished reading. It's called "he Forbidden Game" by L.J. Smith :D
