My brother found this on the internet and was able to solve it with the help of my other family. I was able to solve it all by myself -ok so he helped with ONE part, but I pretty much solved it myself.
Now let's see if you guys can solve it.
Albert Einstein wrote this riddle in the late 1800's. He said that 98% of the world could not solve it. Can you?
1. There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
2. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke the same brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet.
3. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar of drink the same beverage.
4. The question is "Who owns the fish?"
FACTS:
The Brit lives in the red house
The Swede Keeps dogs as pets.
The Dane drinks tea.
The green house is on the left of the white house.
The green house's owner drinks coffee.
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
The man living in the center house drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
The owner who smokes Bluemasters 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.
This isn't one of those tricky riddles where the answer is totally easy if you only just thought about it. This is something that you really have to work at to figure out. So think people!!
Oh yes. Please don't immediately post the answer, give other people a chance to figure it out. Just PM me if you think you have the answer and I'll post on here if you got it right.
After some time passes you can post your answer. Just give some other people a chance to figure it out.

We in our foolishness thought we were wise
He played the fool and He opened our eyes
We in our weakness believed we were strong
He became helpless to show we were wrong

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

Congratulations Shinsei, for getting it right! He solved it pretty quick, and very through. Good job, I commend you!
I know the rest of you can do it! You just gotta work at it a little.

If you like this sort of thing you'd like my friend Judy's web page:
http://pages.prodigy.net/spencejk/
She does 3 new logic puzzles every month (and she's added a few other nifty things, including instructions on how to create your own).
Enjoy.

i give up please pm me the answer please please please
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like to be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Thats good! See, you can figure it out if you just work on it a little! I gave up after an hour of trying to figure it out, and begged my brother to tell me the answer. Of course he wouldn't, so I tried again and figured it out pretty quick. I was so proud! These things are really fun I think.
Just work on it you guys!
Just work on it you guys!

I solved it, I just checkd the website, yippeee, all by myself too!
--To Write Love on Her Arms
"That time and absence proves - Rather helps than hurts to love."
"Feelings, emotions, they are good, but they cannot be Love's foundation. When of Love, these things last. When of romance, these things end."
"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give -- which is everything."
