Only 2 Percent of the World is Apparently Able to Solve This ‘Young Einstein’ Riddle

Legendary genius Albert Einstein is believed to have written a riddle as a young boy called “Einstein’s riddle.”

There are five houses in five different colors in a row. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The five owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage.

Other facts:

The green house is on the immediate left of the white house.
The green house’s owner drinks coffee.
The owner who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
The owner living in the center house drinks milk.
