I was working with Einstein's riddle yesterday and after some time I figured out a solution. But then I thought. What if the whole neighbourhood is a circle? (If you played GTA San Andreas like Grove street). What if the 5 houses are in a circle and not a straight line. Would that give a different answer? Has anyone else ever thought of this?
If you do not remember the full riddle here it is:
1. There are 5 houses in 5 different colours. In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
2. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand, and keep a certain pet.
3. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar/cigarette or drink the same beverage.
The question is "Who owns the fish?"
