Einstein's Riddle

Found an interesting riddle online that was said to be created by Albert Einstein in the late 1880s.

It claimed that only 2% of the population could solve it!


It took me a while to solve it, but eventually I did, and therefore I am in the top 2%! Haha =)


Test it out and see if you are also one of the top 2% smart people in the world.


Here's the challenging Einstein's riddle:

There are five houses painted with different colours on a street. In each house, there is a owner of a different nationality. Among the 5 owners, each of them drink a different kind of beverage, smoke a different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

Find out who keeps a fish,
given the following conditions:

1. The British man lives in a red house.
2. The Swedish man keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Danish man 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 center 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 Blends smoker lives next to the one who drinks water.

Hint: Organise the information in a systematic way. Trial and error is also allowed.


Can you solve the riddle?

If yes, Congrats! You are among the top 2% of intelligent people. =)

If no, get more clues from me, don't give up!

Who can solve?

Focus on the picture below


Now, you see 12 men...









Now, you see 13 men!






What happened?


What is the trick??

What do you see?

Do you see an opening door or a closing door?




What you see is often what you think.


Are you letting people into your life or shutting them out?

What will you do?

On a stormy night, you drove past a bus stop where there are three people waiting for bus.

The first person is a sickly old lady;

The second person is a doctor who has once saved your life;

The third person is your dream girl/boy.

Your car is a two seater, who will you first pick up?


******************************************************************************





























Suggested solutions:

Give the car to the doctor and let him drive the old lady to a hospital. You can stay back and enjoy the night with your dream girl/boy.

Spinning Girl

which direction is the girl turning?

Clockwise or anticlockwise?

Initially, I thought I saw it turning clockwise, but when I look longer, it starts to turn anticlockwise!

Amazing illusions!

The creators say:

If you see the girl turning clockwise:

You are a RIGHT BRAIN thinker, which apparently means you are a creative thinker, you enjoy the arts, you like the thrill of working on new ideas and enjoy philosophical thinking.

If you see the girl turning anticlockwise:

You are a LEFT BRAIN thinker: which means you are a logical thinker, you enjoy rummaging through concepts for specifics, you enjoy mathematical concepts, science and are very pragmatic.

If you see the girl turning both ways:

You are a genius, (or telling fibs to impress your family and friends)

If you don’t see the girl turning at all:

You are probably brain dead or your computer needs fixed.

share with me what you see please! =)

Can you see it?

I found the circles!! 16 in total!!! Woah.. I almost missed them. Can you see them too?


Impossible structure.. Look carefully~~~

Out of curiosity, I tried to do one too. Lolx.. It's quite easy to see though.


#Is seeing believing?

Left and Right

Click the colour and not the word! Test out the game here. My current high score is only 75. =p How well can you perform?

During Cognitive training, there is an activity that requires the student to read the word and colours of the word. Blue Green

This is training the student to switch between using the left brain and the right brain.

Most of the time, we are only using our dominant side of the brain. But, to enhance our learning and thinking process, we need the balanced participation of both sides of the brain.

Test out which side your dominant brain is here.

When learning something new, we tend to learn it in our usual comfortable way (the dominant brain). It is alright to do so. However, if you want to have more ways of learning, that is, learning in a more efficient and effective way, your brain may not be able to accept it as it is so used to the dominant side of the brain.

This is why we need to train both sides of the brain! =)
