Einstein's Puzzle - Answer

Before we completely trample Thanksgiving on our rush into the Christmas season, here's another one of my favorite Thanksgiving clips, even though I never watched the show.

To answer the post the other day about Einstein's Puzzle: The German kept the fish. Below is a full chart of the answers.

LOC	COLOR	PETS	CIGAR	DRINK	NATION
1	YELLOW	CATS	DUNHILL	WATER	NORWEGIAN
2	BLUE	HORSES	BLEND	TEA	DANE
3	RED	BIRDS	PALL MALL	MILK	BRIT
4	GREEN	FISH	PRINCE	COFFEE	GERMAN
5	WHITE	DOGS	BLUE MASTER	BEER	SWEDE

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wow. I've been blogging for a while now if this is the 4th Thanksgiving that I've run this. I'm not being lazy, and repeating myself, it's a TRADITION. :-)

This fairly long clip contains one of my favorite lines of all times: "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."

If you are Jonesing to see the whole thing, it's available on HULU. And if you've never seen it, or weren't alive when it first aired, Herb's clothes were a joke even back then.

If you are celebrating Thanksgiving today, have a good one. And have a second helping of pumpkin pie.

If you aren't celebrating Thanksgiving, HAPPY THURSDAY!

Einstein's Puzzle

Okay, there's no proof that Einstein created this puzzle, but that's what it's called. Face it, you're really not doing anything at work today besides watching the clock and waiting for the boss to let you go anyway, so here's a brain teaser for you. (Yes, you can Google the answer pretty easily, but there's no prize, so use your brains.)

Einstein's Puzzle

This was written by Einstein last century. He said that 98% of the people in the world could not solve it. Are you among the other 2%?

Facts:

1. There are 5 houses in 5 different colors.
2. In each house lives a different person with a different nationality.
3. These five owners drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigarette, and keep a certain pet.
4. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same drink.

Hints:

1. The Brit. lives in a 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 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 Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who smokes Dunhill.
12. The owner who smokes Blue Master also drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

Question:

Who keeps the fish?

When I first got this puzzle, it took me a bit, but I solved it by the end of the day. (Hey, I was at work!) I'll give you solution on Monday. If you want, pull this out on your family this weekend while the Lions are getting creamed.

(Note: We all know Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes. Not the right answer.)

Happy 7th Re-Birthday

To my special amazing awesome wonderful wife, Cora.  I almost lost you seven years ago, before I even met you.  (For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, follow this LINK)

So, happy re-birthday!

Enjoy some cake.

This 1's For You

Because YOU are #1 in my book!

Kim-possible Turn Of Events

Poor gal has a right to be in a bad mood.

Her 72 day marriage blew up in her face.

The Kardashian Collection is on sale @ next to the Toughskin jeans @ Sears

 
People are looking at her askance at parties.

And now she's got crabs.

 
Face it, life's not all beer and skittles when you're a big Kimbo.

(And did you ever notice that while most women named 'Kimberly' don't mind being called, 'Kim', that aren't so keen about being called 'Berly'.  Go figure.)

Saturday Afternoon Time Killers

Hey, I know it's the weekend, and reading is for suckers.  So, here are a couple quick videos to get you thru the weekend.

We watch a number of cooking shows around here, and as a dad who has had to keep the child alive for a few days on his own, I'm going to add some of these to the list.

The only thing I can say about this next clip is that it has far too little violence.

Chris Brown might like to smack women around, but the fool has mad skillz with Paint!  You may not want to play this with young children or old people in the room.

Okay, you've fooled around long enough.  Get back to raking those leaves and cleaning out the gutters.

The Times They Are A Changing

Well, for most of my American readers, that is. Daylight savings time ends this weekend, so Sunday you get an extra hour of sleep in the morning. But, it will start getting dark soul-crushingly early. Speaking of "soul crushing", how 'bout Tim Tebow and the Broncos?

I ran across this fun little video about DST, and thought you all might like it. My favorite bit is when it gets talking about Arizona.

Everyone have a good weekend, and FALL BACK Sunday.
