6 # The Zebra Puzzle is a well-known logic puzzle. |
|
7 # |
|
8 # It is often called "Einstein's Puzzle" or "Einstein's Riddle" |
|
9 # because it is said to have been invented by Albert Einstein as a boy, |
|
10 # with the common claim that Einstein said "only 2 percent of the |
|
11 # world's population can solve". It is also sometimes attributed to |
|
12 # Lewis Carroll. However, there is no known evidence for Einstein's or |
|
13 # Carroll's authorship. |
|
14 # |
|
15 # There are several versions of this puzzle. The version below is |
|
16 # quoted from the first known publication in Life International |
|
17 # magazine on December 17, 1962. |
|
18 # |
|
19 # 1. There are five houses. |
|
20 # 2. The Englishman lives in the red house. |
|
21 # 3. The Spaniard owns the dog. |
|
22 # 4. Coffee is drunk in the green house. |
|
23 # 5. The Ukrainian drinks tea. |
|
24 # 6. The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house. |
|
25 # 7. The Old Gold smoker owns snails. |
|
26 # 8. Kools are smoked in the yellow house. |
|
27 # 9. Milk is drunk in the middle house. |
|
28 # 10. The Norwegian lives in the first house. |
|
29 # 11. The man who smokes Chesterfields lives in the house next to the |
|
30 # man with the fox. |
|
31 # 12. Kools are smoked in the house next to the house where the horse |
|
32 # is kept. |
|
33 # 13. The Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice. |
|
34 # 14. The Japanese smokes Parliaments. |
|
35 # 15. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house. |
|
36 # |
|
37 # Now, who drinks water? Who owns the zebra? |
|
38 # |
|
39 # In the interest of clarity, it must be added that each of the five |
|
40 # houses is painted a different color, and their inhabitants are of |
|
41 # different national extractions, own different pets, drink different |
|
42 # beverages and smoke different brands of American cigarettes. One |
|
43 # other thing: In statement 6, right means your right. |
