Who Has The Micropterus Salmoides?

Hey, it's about to be Thanksgiving, and if for some bizarre reason you can't get everyone outside to play touch football (e.g. Perry, the one-eyed Collie mix isn't down with playing receiver) then you're going to find yourself inside, with the entire family, or someone else's. In these situations, it's always handy to have a brainteaser that will occupy everyone's time, and with that, we bring you the Crossmedia Thanksgiving family time-wasting brain teaser.  It is said that this quiz was made up by Albert Einstein and according to him 98% will not solve it. We're media people, and we have Excel and will probably make a pivot table solving this in about 7 minutes, but for everyone else, have a crack at it:

There is a row of five different color houses. Each house is occupied by a man of different nationality. Each man has a different pet, prefers a different drink, and smokes different brand of cigarettes. One of these men has a largemouth bass as a pet (bizarre, we know, but how many people do you know who smoke Dunhills?)

  1. The Brit lives in the Red house.
  2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
  3. The Dane drinks tea.
  4. The Green house is next to the White house, on the left.
  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 center 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.
  15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.

The folks at Crossmedia are huge fans of hanging out on the deck, grilling, having some cold drinks and shooting the breeze. In between heated discussions about the legality of fiberglass Wiffleball bats, we tend to talk a great deal about our trade. Here’s where some of it ends up.
