Brain Teasers and Riddles!

[Proper]

You can't have a "Brain Teasers and Riddles!" thread without Albert Einstein's famous riddle. Without further adieu...


Albert Einstein's Riddle
There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage.

The question is: Who owns the fish?



Hints:

The Brit lives in the red house.
The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
The Dane drinks tea.
The green house is on the left of the white house.
The green homeowner drinks coffee.
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears 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 Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
The owner who smokes Bluemaster drinks beer.
The German smokes prince.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.
Einstein wrote this riddle early during the 19th century. He said 98% of the world could not solve it. Its not hard, you just need to pay attention and be patient.


I will provide thread followers with brain teasers and riddles routinely. I will seperate them into three different categories: Easy, Moderate, and Advanced riddles. Also, please don't search for answers on the internet! Use your brain power. I know this thread will have a lot of spoilers so read with caution!

Theres one busdriver and 20 kids.
They get into a crash all the kids die.
The busdriver survives.
The police investigate the whole premisis and see something wrong.
" Sir, how much students did you have in your bus? "
" Twenty. "
" There's only one problem. We found 24 heads. "
How is this possible?


Do I send the answer to you Proper?

[Proper]

I'm thinking that's a sexual brain teaser! Ha ha.

There is no need to sumbit answers. With time all of the correct answers should start appearing either by people actually solving them or looking for the answers on the internet. For instances, "Juicee" there is no way he actually solved Einstein's riddle that fast. Cheater!

i figured this out in 38 minutes... i dont know if thats good or bad... but the key to this really is to follow the info they give you... and the best way, is to figure out the house order, once you do that, its a cake walk...

house order is Yellow, Blue, Red, Green, White, then using the clues you can figure out who lives in what house.

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c342/Skitzo6990/EINSTIEN.jpg

my conclusion was the German, i am not 100% if i am correct, but thats my final assumtion.

One Sunday morning, a wife woke up to find her husband murdered. She immediately called the police to report the homicide. The police questioned everyone in the house and go these alibis from all of the possible suspects. The wife said she was sleeping. The cook said he was cooking breakfast. The maid said she was getting the mail. Lastly, the gardener said he was mowing the lawn. The police immediately knew who had committed the murder and arrested the criminal. Who killed the husband and why?

BigBlueViolence: No. Earth is a larger mass therefore has a stronger gravitational pull making the Moon orbit Earth. Earth then in return orbits the Sun.

I thought that it wasn't so literal.

Like the moon is always in the corner of the sky, and it moves around the world.

What row of numbers comes next in this series?

312211

The sequence:

111221
312211
13112221
1113213211
31131211131221
...

Solution: It's actually quite simple :) After starting the sequence with 1, each term in the sequence consists of groups of two numbers based on the previous term - the first being the quantity and the second specifying which digit.

Example: the first term is 1, which has "one 1" in it, therefore 11.
11 has "two 1's" in it, therefore 21.
21 has "one 2 and one 1" in it and therefore 1211.

Ok, so, if any of you drink Mickey's, they always have these little picture riddles on the bottoms of the caps. No one can figure this one out, and the site doesn't have the answer:

It's the letter U, then a golf tee (Golf tee always means the sound "tee" then a picture of a man pointing at himself, (which always means "Me") then the letter C, then an ice cube (Which always means "Ice") and then the letter Y

So, "U Tee Me C Ice Y"
The fuck does this mean?

[Vagrant]

lawl i tried going to the website just by typing it in but i misspelled mickeys
well this is what i got:
http://www.mickys.com/

well... the ice and y would make Icy
so we get "U Tee Me C Icy"

[Backalley Abortion Doctor]

I kinda read the last part as "I see." No?

[Vagrant]

that could be.

could the "me" be "my"? so the me, c would be mic? or make?

nevermind, the c is on the next line
