On a street there are 5 houses of different colors and 1 single guy lives on each. Each man is of different nationality, has a different pet and drinks and smokes different stuff.

The American lives in the red house.
The Canadian has a dog
The Japanese drinks tea
The green house is to the left of the white house
The green house dweller drinks coffee
The one who smokes Salem has a bird
The yellow house dweller smokes Pall Mall
The guy from the house in the middle drinks milk
The Spaniard lives in the first house
The one who smokes Blend lives beside the one who has a cat
The one who has a hamster lives next to the one who smokes Pall Mall
The one who smokes Mild Seven drinks beer
The Englishman smokes Prince
The Spaniard lives next to the blue house
The one who smokes Blend is neighbor to the one who drinks water

The question is: Who owns the goldfish?

hey!! some of the questions in here r not actually a riddle

some of them r

IQ questions.

here's a sample question:

u have a 5 equally weighed balls

u put another look-a-like ball w/c is in fact heavier that the rest.

how do u know w/c ball is heavier through using only

the balance scale only 2 times

:sweat:

the balance scale is a ancient weighing scale it has a stick on the middle

and 2 pans on the other end.

weigh 3 and 3, discard the lighter side.
weigh any 2, if equal, the last is the heaviest.
