Einstein's Fish Puzzle

http://www.coudal.com/thefish.php

 

 

Here's a puzzle from Coudal Partners, titled "Whose Fish?" supposedly created by Albert Einstein:

 

This brainteaser, reportedly written by Einstein is difficult and Einstein said that 98% of the people

in the world could not figure it out. Which percentage are you in?

 

There are five houses in a row in different colors. In each house lives a person with a different

 nationality. The five owners drink a different drink, smoke a different brand of cigar and keep a

different pet, one of which is a Walleye Pike.

 

The question is– who owns the fish?

 

Hints:

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 on the left of the white house.
5. The green house owner drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Malls keeps birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills.
8. The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk.
9. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
10. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who smokes Dunhills.
12. The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Princes.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.

 

There are no tricks, pure logic will get you the correct answer. And yes, there is enough information

to arrive at the one and only correct answer.

Distraction Tactic Wipes Out Allergies

Allergies could be wiped out in a single blow by tricking the immune system into

thinking it is encountering an old foe. The idea is based on the so-called "hygiene

hypothesis", the notion that the cleanliness of modern life deprives the immune

system of a proper training against disease so that it ends up out of kilter and

reacts to things that are harmless, such as grass pollen.

What happens to password-locked data when you die?

CNet looks at what happens to the loved ones of people who take their passwords to the grave --

Microsoft and Yahoo will provide you with your departed's mail (but Yahoo requires a court

order!), while data that is locked up locally may not be retrievable at all.

The Luscher Color Test

The Luscher Color Test was devised by psychologist Max Luscher in 1969. It's

effectiveness has been known in advertising, automotive and the fashion industry

We warn you that this is no party trick. The selections that you make are to be

over many years and trials. The results can be very revealing, often surprising, but

hopefully very helpful.

An 'Om' a Day Could Keep Inflammation at Bay

Researchers have long believed that meditation can soothe both body and mind. One

researcher is taking that principle a step farther, suggesting that people can use meditation

to actively regulate their immune systems.

 

In 2002, neuroscientist and immunologist, Kevin J. Tracey, director and chief executive of

the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, discovered that the brain and the immune

system are linked through the vagus nerve, a large nerve that begins in the brainstem and

travels all the way through the torso.

say a high hits you within five minutes, followed by a caffeine boost 15 minutes later. But

hold on - the ride lasts five hours and the concoction is "350 percent stronger than Red Bull,"

Friendster Patents Social Networking

The troubled company has won protection for a "system, method, and

apparatus for connecting users in an online computer system based on

their relationships within social networks," and may now take steps

to enforce it with competitors.

 

Friendster said Thursday that it has received a patent that covers

online social networks, one the company had applied for long before

its decline and recent recapitalization.

 

The U.S. patent, which was awarded June 27, is extremely general,

and would seem to cover the activities of many other sites, especially

those like LinkedIn that allow people to connect within a certain number

of degrees of separation.

Kopi Luwak Civet cat butt coffee tastes good, say connoisseurs

 

Kopi (the Indonesian word for coffee) Luwak comes from

the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi (formerly Celebes), which are

part of the Indonesian Archepelago's 13,677 islands (only 6,000 of which

are inhabited).

 

On these Indonesian islands, there's a small marsupial called the paradoxurus,

a tree-dwelling animal that is part of the sibet family. The paradoxurus climb

among the coffee trees eating only the ripest, reddest coffee cherries. They

then digest and eventually excrete the coffee cherries.  Locals gather the

beans, which come through the paradoxurus digestion process fairly intact,

still wrapped in layers of the cherries' mucilage. The enzymes in the animals'

stomachs, appear to add something unique to the coffee's flavor through

fermentation.

Infected for life

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have discovered

part of the reason why cold sores, caused by a herpes virus, come back again and

again. The new study, published online last month in Nature, points to a small RNA

molecule, called a microRNA (miRNA) as the culprit that keeps the latent virus-

infected cell alive. These findings could one day lead to a new way to fight the virus

and offers the first target for intervention in the latent infection.

Men Infer Sexual Interest Before Women Do

In the latest issue of Psychology of Women Quarterly, researchers find

that men rate themselves and the women they just interacted with higher

on sexual traits, such as flirtatiousness, than women rate men. The authors

find that after a five-minute conversation with a stranger of the opposite

gender, men were more likely to interpret ambiguous or friendly behavior

as indicating sexual interest.

Here Be Dragons -

With luck, you may soon be able to buy a mythological pet

Scientists in California are coming closer to creating real-life mythical animals.

Basically, they re-create the natural selection process through a computer simulation

and then clone the resulting set of DNA in a donor animal. Each computer starts with

a search image (dragon, unicorn, gryphon, etc), and the genome of the real animal

most closely resembling it (a lizard for the dragon, a horse for the unicorn and, most

taxingly, the spliced genomes of a lion and an eagle for the gryphon). The virtual

genomes of these real animals are then tweaked by random electronic mutations.

When they have matured, the virtual adults most closely resembling the targets are

picked and cross-bred, while the others are culled.

Troy, alternate reality game

Troy, created for the Experimental Gameplay Competition, is a game about

invasion of privacy on the internet. As visitors to the site try to download a

game made by a fictional character, they are lead to a 404 site.

 

 

The average visitor would probably not bother clicking on the link to the

parent directory. But visitors who are inquisitive and prying enough will click

on the link and be lead to files and information they werent supposed to see.

If they keep going through this data, they'll get passwords to spy into more

of the fictional characters personal information. For example, they'll learn that

the game developer has just broken up with his girlfriend Becky, and as visitors

progress through the game, they uncover very private stuff that gradually reveal

what went wrong in their relationship.

 

Eventually, the curious would get a hold of the game they were originally trying

to download, but it turns out to be a trap that the fictional character set for the

player, as a punishment for going through his stuff.
