Some of Albert Einstein’s Puzzles:

Neighbours:

 

Einstein created this puzzle in the last century. He claimed that only 2% of the population can figure out the answer.

 

Are you in that two percent?

 

Here is the puzzle:

 

ALSO: There is no trick in this puzzle, it’s plain logic.

There are five men of different nationalities living in a row of five houses, each house being a different color. Each man drinks a different kind of drink, keeps a different kind of pet, and smokes a different kind of cigar.

The Brit lives in the red house.
The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
The Dane drinks tea.
The green house is to the left of the white house.
The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
The man who smokes Pall Mall keeps birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Blends lives next to the man who keeps cats.
The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
The German smokes Prince.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.

Bears:

Einstein made this riddle for his scholars. can you figure it out?

A fellow encountered a bear in a wasteland. There was nobody else there. Both were frightened and ran away. Fellow to the north, bear to the west. Suddenly the fellow stopped, aimed his gun to the south and shot the bear. What colour was the bear?

Solution (please highlight to see): It all happened on the North Pole. When the man shot, he must have been right on the North Pole. So if he shot south (that could be in any direction) even if the bear went west at one point, the man could shoot him. Getting it? So it makes sense to assume that the only color the bear could be was WHITE, only polar bears live around the North Pole!
