    This quiz was made up by Albert Einstein and according to him 98% of people will not solve it. So according to Einstein there should be 6000 people on CP who can, so come on then! There is a row of five houses, each having a different colour. In these houses live five people who do different jobs. Each of them nurtures a different pet, likes different drinks and uses a different form of transport.

    1. The Architect lives in the red house
    2. The SysOp keeps a dog as a pet
    3. The IT Manager drinks Latte's
    4. The green house is to the left of the white house
    5. The owner of the green house drinks Guinness
    6. The person who drives a sports car keeps Tarantula's
    7. The owner of the yellow house drives a campervan
    8. The man living in the centre house drinks Martini's
    9. The Tester lives in the first house
    10. The man who drives a coupe lives next to the one who keeps cats
    11. The man who keeps iguana's lives next to the man who drives a campervan
    12. The man who drives a moped drinks milk
    13. The Developer drives a 4x4
    14. The Tester lives next to the blue house
    15. The man who drives a coupe has a neighbour who drinks tea.

    Yay, fun. We need more quizes (sp?!). I don't think I agree with the 98% comment though. I have just posted it on my old work forum and there are only about 50 people on that forum - I don't think I would be the only person able to solve it, and I think a lot of said people would be able to, if they at least give it a try. On the other hand, I once had to make an intelligence test for a school project and then test people, I thought the questions were easy but a lot of people got upset when they couldn't do them. I still don't really understand that. They really weren't hard. Like, I'm not trying to be an idiot here and say I am smarter than those people; my confusion is that I thought we were all as smart as each other, but for some reason they couldn't answer those questions. I don't understand what makes them different. So anyway, maybe I am biased on this quiz too and it is really harder than it seems? It is fun though, logic puzzles, especially ones that I can actually solve. Not like my ugly confusing programming I am trying to do at work right now.

        I'd expect you to get it quickly ;P (with all the brain teazers you've posted here before - some of which I've enjoyed I should add). Took me just over 20 mins to figure out it was the developer (good ol' pen & paper).
