interesting quizz i must say but i am finding it hard to understand

[google_byte 0]

Very hard quiz. I'm working on it right now but i still have nothing. Btw can you tell me where you got this quiz? If you want to answer it the obvious choice is to make a logical grid except the hard part is that there are 5 variables (cigar, drink, house, nationality, and pet) If anyone has an answer to this problem please post it. And tell me how you got it too.

I'm only 14 too. My Latin teacher handed it out. I finished it in less than 30 minutes. You're right. It wasn't that hard to figure out. So much for Einstein!

I took an iq test online when I was like 11 or something, and it tookk into account my age and gave me a 170. Of course, that dosen't mean it's right. Although, I am in calculus as a freshman.

The German

Just way too hard for me. I have no patience in me.

its a trick question

[SystemWisdom 0]

I see no trick to the question other than the fact that it never actually states that any of them own a fish (it is merely implied), and thus none of them own a fish.. BUT, assuming one of them does own a fish, then it is a very well-thought-out application of pratical logic, and following the hints that are given, one can deduce that the German owns the Fish as a pet. However, don't be fooled by the thrill of having solved it, for it still takes us all very long, and can not be compared to any of the questions found within the same category on modern IQ tests. Being restricted to a time limit with dozens of questions (this being only one of them) I suspect that 98% of the people would skip this question, and move on to other questions, planning to come back to it later, but when they do, and spend 30+/- mins on that question alone, they eventually run out of time and haven't finished solving it.. Not to mention, that Einstein lived during times lacking modern education for the masses, and it is quite possible that his suggested 98% could be lower now with current standards of education.Even still, this is a brilliantly thought-out question, and deserves great appreciation, in my humble opinion.Just think, if it is that hard to solve it, how hard would it have been to have written it in the first place?
