There are 5 houses in 5 different colors 
In each house lives a person with a different nationality 
These 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet 
No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink. 
Here's the question: Who owns the fish? 
The Brit lives in a red house 
The Swede keeps dogs as pets 
The Dane drinks tea 
The green house is on the left of the white house 
The green house owner drinks coffee 
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds 
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill 
The man living in the house right in the middle drinks milk 
The Norwegian lives in the first house 
The man who smokes Blend lives next door to the one who keeps cats. 
The man who keeps horses lives next door to the man who smokes Dunhill 
The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer 
The German smokes Prince 
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house 
The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water 
With these 15 clues the problem is solvable.

Is the fish with the Norwegian,who drinks water,smokes Dunhill and lives in Yellow house?

The German owns the fish

Whoa! You must be a genius.How did you find out?

took me few hours to solve it (but im at work)

There are three magical ponds in front of three temples.If you dip flowers in the pond, the number of flowers will double.
Once a man came to the temples with a certain number of flowers.
He dipped it in the first pond and the number of flowers got doubled. He dedicated a certain number of flowers in the temple.
He dedicated the same number of flowers in the other two temples after dipping the remaining flowers in their respective ponds.Eventually,he came back with no flowers .
Then how many flowers did he bring and how many did he dedicate in each temple?(The number of flowers dedicated in each temple is the same)

2(2(2x - y) - y) - y = 0

2(4x - 3y) - y = 0

8x - 7y = 0 => x = (7/8)y

So the smallest number of flowers he could bring would be 7, donating 8 each time. He could also have brought any multiple of these (e.g. bring 14, donate 16).

This one turns up in various places on the internet, with no solution. I'll be interested to see if we get one this time.

Here's an easy one, but my friend says a lot of people get it wrong: "When I was 2, my brother was half my age. I am now 100. How old is my brother?"

This is one that only works aloud, but I will offer it for your edification:

How do you pronounce "t-w-e"? -Twee.

How do you pronounce "t-w-i"? -Tweye.

How do you pronounce "t-w-o"?

Quite a lot of people will say "twhoa" instead of two.

This one is also easy.

I can knock down buildings but I cannot break glass.

I can fly over mountains but I cannot climb stairs.

What am I?
