I am sure people will cheat... but here you go.

It's purported that Einstein said 98% of the world's population could not figure out this logic problem. Try your hand at it. Send us an email message if you figure it out.
A logical question. Albert Einstein is reported to have said that 98% of the world's population could not solve this hard brain teaser puzzle.

There are 5 houses each with a different color. Their owners, each with a unique heritage, drinks a certain type of beverage, smokes a certain brand of cigarette, and keep a certain variety of pet. None of the owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigarette or drink the same beverage.

Clues:

* The Brit lives in the red house.
* The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
* The Dane drinks tea.
* The green house is just to the left of the white house.
* The green house's owner drinks coffee.
* The person who smokes Pall Malls raises 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 a horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
* The owner who smokes Bluemasters also 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.

i feel like a good majority of the 98% may not be able to figure it out because they don't read or speak english?

If you want a hint highlight the text below:

It helped me to make a table. First find out where all the colored houses are located. Then determine the nationalities of them and what they smoke. Finally figure out the pets.

Lol don't cheat and google. Too many people did that. It took me between 10-20 minutes to figure out the different things.

I set out a thing like House 1, House 2, all the way through House 5. Then I put all the criteria under them, the ones that were given away. After using the obvious criteria, I took the other clues and said well this doesn't fit here or here, so, it has to be this. If you make a table like that, it gets real easy.
