3 days to go- Stuff that really makes you confused

I am very confused. Infact the things that I am about to show you almost drove me insane. If you do not want to
a.) have to take anger management classes,
b.) have an eternal headache,
and
c.) end up in a mental institute,
then do not read on. If you want to take the risk of the said three things occuring, go ahead- read this in great detail.

i.) Einstein's Riddle
Albert Einstein thought this up. I don't know why anyone would think of this, but this rather intelligent gentleman did! He reckoned that only 2% of the Earth's population would be able to figure it out. A friend and I did it together and it took us around 45 minutes. So, you'd better have the time. It goes like so;

1.In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
2. In each house lives a person of different nationality
3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.
THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH? HINTS
1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
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 centre 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.
Long and incredibly confusing...............
Here's a tip- make a chart. It's easier that way. And also, a good thing to think about is that you're looking for the nationality of the person rather than the colour of the house! The colour of the house is easier to find!

ii.) The second thing is a flash game called "Bloxorz". It is amazingly frustrating and the movement and sound of the block is really convincing.



That's all for today. Christmas is frankly wearing me out.
