Let's see if anyone can get this one....
Its called Einstein's riddle and it is one of the hardest riddles out there.
Einstein estimated that about 2% percent of those that attempt it will be able to solve it.


1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
2. In each house lives a person of different nationality
3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

HINTS

1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.

1. Norvegian - Yellow - cat - Dunhill - water
2. Dane - Blue - Horses - Blends - tea
3. Brit - Red - bird - Pall Mall - Milk
4. German - Green - ??? - Prince - Coffee
5. Swede - White - dog - Blue Master - beer

so the German owns the fish unless it was a trick question.

So who gives a riddle now?????????
Since Numberplay said anyone who says the first riddle can do it, then anyone can right now!
...
So I will I guess! (I only chose this one because I thought it was "fairly" difficult, so Good luck!)

-------------------------------------------------------
Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.
