No, it really isn't hard!
In Germany - and in most other countries, too - there are special magazines which contain many of those logicals, most of them much harder than this one. It wasn't invented by Einstein, if I was asked to place a bet on this I would vote against it.
Since I know the answer - it's impossible to forget considering how many times I've already seen this - I won't interfere from here.

i'd like to see more of that stuff that's for sure

invented by Einstein? never heard that... i heard that Einstein said it's unsolvable by 98% of the ppl which is either total BS or i and 3 friends of mine (who we all solved it) belong to that 2%

i don't remember the answer right now! but i haven't seen it more than once
You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

the answer should be accompanied by a full layout of the houses (eg color x house - english - x drink - x cigarettes - x pet) in order to prove you solved it and not just picked one at random... so i'll tell you if you're right tomorrow cause i was just going to sleep now!

I could try to post some of them sometime.
Maybe later.

of course i believe you! i said it's not THAT hard in the first place... maybe 2% are the ppl who will actually have the patience to sit down and solve it
Rael you're right, the german got the fish... i'm not checking your whole solution cause there's only one solution anyway, so it's probably right!

| Deleted User | I figured it was a trick question actually. Nowhere in the post is there any mention of anyone owning a fish, the only time a fish is mentioned is when the question of its ownership is asked.
Who owns the fish?
What fish? I see no fish.
