Extremely Hard Question

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.

Ooooh, we had that riddle in math in the 8th grade. If you have a pen and paper you can easily figure it out if you get enough time.

Dang, I got as far as three things. If I was alone for a bit, I could probably get closer.

Everyone knows it. Even people who dont know about Monty Python. Why so overused Monty Python quote?
 
Because he can't get his coconuts far enough.

Could I have a video of 'A day in the life of Toaster-Chan' please?
 
Yeah... I tried to do it in the reply box, but then i opened paint and 2 tries later it was done.
Real ****ing pain the first time when i was about done, only to fill in the last cigg and pet when i realised that THE DANE DRINKS TEA!
Yeah i missed the real obvious one. I wanted to punch my screen.

But hey, im a ****ing 2%! Suck on that ****** ass.
 
Hey Vegeta, why is it when went to your profil to axe you a question, your profil did this.

Can't I just have a sample?

Like, say, off the top of my head, the dressing/undressing parts?

Rizzo: What seems to be the problem?

Do you have an issue with my color scheme?
 
Well, the problem is in the pic, is it supposed to look like that?

Edit: Oh shit CHECK OUT MY SIG!
 
**** you. Im in the 2%. It's not a lie. I made it. Im gonna put this shit on my ****ing resume.
 
toaster-chan said:
Ahahahaha oh my.
This is why I said the 2% was probably a lie.

Veggie, if I gave you videos of myself undressing, theoretically you could reverse engineer a prototype battle android body just by looking at mine. That is why I can't give out videos of myself.

He's doing it anyway. That'll just speed up the process.
 
let <a> be the recursive series defined by
a(1)=1;
a(2)=2;

and a(n)=(a(n-1)+2)/(2a(n-2)));

Prove by strong induction that

1<=a(n)<=2

for all natural numbers greater than or equal to 2.

Go!
