Yesterday when i was browsing the in net, i found a riddle that was made by ALBERT EINSTEIN, he said that 98% of people in the world can't solve it:

The riddle goes like this::
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.

I had already solve this riddle and the answer was ''the german '' and i checked on the internet my answer was right.it only takes me 30 minutes to solve it'' I'm not a very smart guy,I'm 14 yo, but einstein said that only 2% of the world population could solve the riddle, so it means that only a very genius people who could solve it. But if the riddle is this easy anyone would be able to solve it

, and i am curious by what he means ''neighbour'' in the last hint ,'' The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water. '' , what does the term'' NEIGHBOUR mean? Does it means the man who smokes blend live NEXT to a house that the owner drinks water?? What i know is that all of the other 4 houses are all 'THEMANWHOSMOKESBLEND' 'S neighbours ,

so does it means NEXT or it COULD BE ANY HOUSE BECAUSE ALL OF THE OTHER HOUSES ARE THEMANWHOSMOKESBLEND' 'S neighbours ,???

Sorry for my bad grammar and explanation :(
