Albert Einstein's quiz.
-
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.
- The Architect lives in the red house
- The SysOp keeps a dog as a pet
- The IT Manager drinks Latte's
- The green house is to the left of the white house
- The owner of the green house drinks Guinness
- The person who drives a sports car keeps Tarantula's
- The owner of the yellow house drives a campervan
- The man living in the centre house drinks Martini's
- The Tester lives in the first house
- The man who drives a coupe lives next to the one who keeps cats
- The man who keeps iguana's lives next to the man who drives a campervan
- The man who drives a moped drinks milk
- The Developer drives a 4x4
- The Tester lives next to the blue house
- 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.
