You got it - an hourglass. Please don't hit me

[dktorode]

Fucking hell...hahahahaha

I have one in my kitchen

[dktorode]

There are no tricks, just pure logic

1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
2. In each house lives a person of different nationality
3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

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 next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house 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 centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.

You think i just "remembered" this one

[frookenhauer]

this is one where a logic box grid thingy would come in very handy...But damn it I'm at work, so I can't spend too much time on this...

[Sir Thursday]

I've done that one before, but I couldn't remember the solution so I worked through it again:

Spoiler

The German keeps fish. Here's a full rundown:

Nationality - House, Pet, Drink, Smoke

Brit - Red, Birds, Milk, Pall Mall
Swede - White, Dog, Beer, Blue Master
Dane - Blue, Horses, Tea, Blends
German - Green, Fish, Coffee, Prince
Norwegian - Yellow, Cats, Water, Dunhill

[Cause]

Dktorode is right, though Im not excactly happy how he did it. The trick is that you can draw through the houses.

Heheh, quite a few riddles since I was gone. The sundial thing I didn't get since I didn't know what a sundial is... but google helped me a long way (god save wikipedia!) and the answer does indeed make lots of sense.

DK's riddle is pretty long, but not too hard to actually solve... If you take the time for it

And Cause's riddle I found weirdly answered until Cause posted above to explain it.

I guess it's Sir Thursday's turn now...
(and Cause, please stop jamming your riddles between other people's... it makes it all confusing to who may post the next riddle an everything... We know you're smart, if you want to post a riddle, just answer the previous one first (no matter if that would mean spoiling it or not))

[Sir Thursday]

Right, here you go:

Harry went out to dinner with his friends Larry, Barry, and Gary. Harry sat across from Gary. At Gary's right, opposite Barry, sat Larry. When the waiter came for their orders, Larry and Barry ordered steak. Gary chose fish, and Harry (who likes to be difficult) ordered like this: "Unless the man at the left of the man opposite the man who ordered fish is not having what the man across from the man at the right of the man at my left is having, then I'll have what the man across from the man at the right of the man opposite me ordered. Otherwise, bring me the fettucine alfredo." Assuming "right" and "left" is from the viewpoint of the diners, what did Harry order?

To quote Illy, when this riddle was asked earlier in the thread:

I ROFLed

[Cause]

I only posted the riddles because it seemed that the peoples whose turn it is dont have any, or theirs debates whose turn it is and it looked like the system did not work too well.

[Sir Thursday]

Oops, sorry to repost. I'll have to find another one then.

No worries, I was going to answer you within seconds and look like a genius, but my devious plan would have been discovered in no time

[Sir Thursday]

How about this one then:

He who has it doesn't tell it. He who takes it doesn't know it. He who knows it doesn't want it. What is it?

Sir Thursday

Lol, this is probably so wrong on many levels, but the first thing that came up to me was 'aids'
But since that's probably not it I'll think on it further..

Well, this really is a tough one... can't think of anything remotely more correct than 'aids' (or STDs in general). If it's up to me we place Sir T up the shelf of 'crazy smart, never let them win in this thread again for our sake!' along with Cause...
