  1. whoaa dude.


  2. The Zebra Puzzle is a well-known logic puzzle.

    It is often called "Einstein's Puzzle" or "Einstein's Riddle" because it is said to have been invented by Albert Einstein as a boy. Some claim that Einstein said "only 2 percent of the world's population can solve it". It is also sometimes attributed to Lewis Carroll. However, there is no known evidence for Einstein's or Carroll's authorship.

    There are several versions of this puzzle. The version below is quoted from the first known publication in Life International magazine on December 17, 1962. The March 25, 1963, issue contained the solution given below and the names of several hundred solvers from around the world.

    The original puzzle

    There are five houses.

    The Englishman lives in the red house.

    The Spaniard owns the dog.

    Coffee is drunk in the green house.

    The Ukrainian drinks tea.

    The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house.

    The Old Gold smoker owns snails.

    Kools are smoked in the yellow house.

    Milk is drunk in the middle house.

    The Norwegian lives in the first house.

    The man who smokes Chesterfields lives in the house next to the man with the fox.

    Kools are smoked in the house next to the house where the horse is kept.

    The Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice.

    The Japanese smokes Parliaments.

    The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.

    Now, who drinks water? Who owns the zebra?

    In the interest of clarity, it must be added that each of the five houses is painted a different color, and their inhabitants are of different national extractions, own different pets, drink different beverages and smoke different brands of American cigarettes. One other thing: In statement 6, right means your right.

    Discussion

    The premises leave out some details, notably that the houses are in a row.

    Since neither water nor a zebra is mentioned in the clues, there exists a reductive solution to the puzzle, namely that no one owns a zebra or drinks water. If, however, the questions are read as “Given that one resident drinks water, which is it?” and “Given that one resident owns a zebra, which is it?” then the puzzle becomes a non-trivial challenge to inferential logic. (A frequent variant of the puzzle asks “Who owns the fish?”)

    It is possible not only to deduce the answers to the two questions but to figure out who lives where, in what color house, keeping what pet, drinking what drink, and smoking what brand of cigarettes.

    Rule 12 leads to a contradiction. It should have read "Kools are smoked in a house next to the house where the horse is kept." (Note "a" instead of "the.") The text above has been kept as it is, as it is meant to be a presentation of the text of the puzzle as originally published.

    Rule 11 suffers from a similar problem as that just described regarding rule 12.

    Solution

    house 1 2 3 4 5

    color yellow blue red ivory green

    nationality Norwegian Ukrainian Englishman Spaniard Japanese

    drink WATER tea milk orange juice coffee

    smoke Kools Chesterfield Old Gold Lucky Strike Parliament

    pet fox horse snails dog ZEBRA

  3. the people next to the yellow house with the horse. a zebra is a type of horse. am i right? tell me!!!

  4. .....one second please..will edit.

    Edit: sorry stuck as h**l...

  5. **** this

  6. yup

  7. ok, so I really really tried on this one and I finally got an answer, but I don't know if it's the right one...

    Yellow House= compact car, corn, bulletin, cats

    Blue House= van, eggplant, gazette, horse

    Red House=station wagon, zucchini, times, birds

    Green House=sports car, okra, chronicle, zebra

    White House=SUV, beets, daily news, dog

    So, I think the guy in the green house owns the zebra

    Good luck!! Sorry if it's wrong.

    NOTE: if you look at the wiki link that someone posted above notice one thing...on wiki the houses go yellow, blue, red, green, ivory (white) and your teacher put them in order of yellow, blue, red, white (ivory), green. sooo, you can either trust wiki and go with answer of house 5 or maybe your teacher wanted to make you all think harder so he/she switched things around, which would make house number 5 really be house number 4 (the green house, which I think is right)

  8. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebra_Puzzl...
