Einstein's Riddle

[myhomy]

Hello all,

Albert Einstein wrote this riddle:

He said that 98% of the world population would not be able to solve it. Are you in the top 2% of intelligent people in the world? Solve the riddle and find out: In a street there are five houses, painted five different colors. In each house lives a person of different nationality. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet. The question is: Who owns the fish?

Go to my website http://er.myhomy.com and solve it if you think you can!!!

Good luck!!!

PS: Please, to whoever is reading this post, don't post solution here, or any link to the solution, don't write any mean messages to me. What's the point anyway, either solve it or disregard this post. I'm just the very first one who attempted to put Einstein's Riddle into code that you can solve straight from the website by swapping images and turn all red bullets to green. I'm sure this riddle has been posted here before, but the whole point is to see who ends up in the hall of fame.

Thank you so much for keeping this thread clean.

Hey myhomy,

I really liked the logic behind the Einstein's Riddle site. I think I learned a few things from your javascript. But awesome work.

So the main website myhomy.com is really a link manager where you can store your links right? Do you rely only on cookies to store the links? can you put something to save on a server somwhere to access from another computer?
I think that would be a cool feature.

Are you planing to add any other brain teasers like that?

(By the way I solved it)

See ya.

Hey sandmann, good job! Was it hard? Have you seen it before? Do you think there is room for improvement?

For the main website, yes it's a link manager. I'm not storing anything on the server yet, but that's a good idea, thx.

Brain teasers? Oh yeah, keep checking the main site I'll add more cool stuff in a near future.

So you're really part of the 2% yeah? Good!

Take care.

So who's behind this nickname? M/F?

Take care.
