Brain Teaser (puzzle)

[Nittanys1]

So I'm out looking for geocaches this morning and couldn't find this one as i needed to solve the puzzle first to get the correct coordinates to get to the right location.

LETS SEE IF ANYONE CAN SOLVE THIS! REPS FOR THOSE WHO CAN!

Here is the Puzzle.

· There are 5 houses, each is a different color.
· In each house lives a person of a different nationality
· These 5 owners all drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet
· No owner has the same pet, smokes the same cigar or drinks the same drink as another owner

1. The Briton lives in a red house
2. The Swede keeps a dog
3. The Dane drinks tea
4. The Green house is on the left of the white house, they are also next door to each other

12. The owner who smokes Rothschild drinks beer
13. The German smokes Prince
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house

[Bballjamal]

[Nittanys1]

lol...i have spent some time on it and cant get anywhere...the puzzle says that 2% of ppl out there can solve it....

[addandrew]

Makes my head hurt.

[Nittanys1]

yeah it did give me a headache....no one can get it? there is a solution to it...others have figured it out!

[RandomGuy]

THE ANSWER IS 8

[Schugg]

ill try it, ill be back in 10 mins to say i failed.....

[Nittanys1]

[Schugg]

i lied, im not going to try, only answers i got were the ones it gives you. i did find the answer though, can i pretend i got it? there is only one answer

edit: the site i seen it on showed how to solve and it really doesnt leave room for multiple ways

[Nittanys1]

cool thanks +whatever i give to you!

[Nittanys1]

humm...looking back at the puzzle not everything fits or has a different name...hummm

[Deke]

We used to do these all the time back in the day in school. I'm going to give it a go.

Ew, yeah this has a few more variables than I'm used to...I'm still going to give it a shot :)

[Schugg]

ok now your post changed, everything looks right to me?? what looks wrong about it?

[Nittanys1]

there are different names and different items

[Deke]

Nevermind, I noticed different items.

[Schugg]

oh i see that now, it probably all works out the same if you replace those few different names with the ones yours has. probably same puzzle with just different types of things


like say your puzzle was the the man in the red house smokes marbolo, and no other house smoked camel, and his would be the man in the red house smokes camel, and no other house smoked marbolo

[Schugg]

yeah i was there....

as for the coordinates, does that have anything to do with the house puzzle or is that something else? or do you have to have the house puzzle answers to get the coordinates?? haha ill try.

[Schugg]

N 34.**.***
W 84.**.***

[magneto198]

seems complicated

[Nittanys1]

COOL!!! I'll go check out those coordinates tomorrow!

[Schugg]

i have no clue what the puzzle is trying to accomplish, what does getting those coordinates get you? whats a cache? whats supposively at this location? im so lost.

[Nittanys1]

ha ha ha...


Its called geocaching. you use a GPS to find hidden caches in places throughout the world.

http://www.importatlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91112

[Schugg]

hah what someone go hide some money there for the next person? thats cool though, ill see if there is any out here. and hey! dont get mad if im wrong with the coordinates!

[VooDooXII]

Logic Puzzle...we used to do these things in sixth grade.

I remember the method too...there were grids and stuff.

I could work this out, I think.

[Nittanys1]

you should be right, it is in that area, as the guy told me it was near the trails there. I have found a few dollars in the 400+ caches I have found but thats not what it is about. its about finding new places and enjoying the outdoors.

[Schugg]

haha damn that must be time consuming, i joined. there is ALOT of them here, i dont understand it, do all of them have puzzles or do some just give you coordinates and you go there? cant be to hard out here, out side of abilene to the east is nothing but empty hills with those oil rig machines that rock back and for, after that its nothing for along ass time to the west its a even smaller hick town and cows everywhere.

[Nittanys1]

ha ha yeah your out there with a lot of open space. there are a lot around here. they all dont have puzzles.

[AnthonyF]

my phone has an led that flashes when i have recieved a text message

[Nittanys1]

post whore

[AnthonyF]

post whore

actually im not. :tongue1:

see...you smart people post shìt up like that for the dumb people to make an attempt at solving, which is just a diversion to get us to fry our brains while solving it. thus...weeding out the dumb sons of bisshes

[Schugg]

actually im not. :tongue1:

my brain would have been fried, but cheating does wonders

[Nittanys1]

ha ha, i got about half of it done then figured there had to be an easier way!

and yeah you are...you posted in like 6 random threads then started another all in like 9 minutes last night.

[hondachik]

my phone has an led that flashes when i have recieved a text message
lol which that light really doesnt do u any good huh? jp. :)

[AnthonyF]

are you stalking me? it was like 3 am, what did u want me to do? lol




lol which that light really doesnt do u any good huh? jp. :)

not when i cant find my phone. :(

[Nittanys1]

ha ha naw I wasnt...i just hit new post lastnight and all of them were you...couldnt avoid it

[Vayda]

Took me the better part of the weekend, but i figured it out. I wont spoil the answer here, but PM me if you're interested in it :)

[Schugg]

damn, spent your better part of the weekend on that?! i spent 5 mins googling it...

[Vayda]

I could've found it on google, but what i didn't mention was that i spent the better part of the weekend at work, where there is no google (sadface) and worked it out on paper while i was there.

Plus i'm the kind of nerd that finds these things fun.

[Schugg]

yeah i like that kinda stuff too (not nerdy, just like it), just my lacking of intelligence prevents me from doing it. but yeah i guess if i was working i would have been doing the same thing

[Nittanys1]

rep'd

[Doppelgänger]

i got something.... but the gps coordinates put it way outside the U.S. wtf?

[fucksohc]

the answer is a # between 1 and 1,000,000:goodjob:

[Doppelgänger]

there is no "one" answer.... but there is "one" location....

[Nittanys1]

^yup Badger PM me what you got and I'll let you know if its in the right location or not.

[Schugg]

^yup Badger PM me what you got and I'll let you know if its in the right location or not.

did you ever get out to the coords i gave you??

[Nittanys1]

naw I havent made it out there yet. I'm going to try to do it either tomorrow or this weekend. It just depends on when i get off work. but so far your's is the only one that is looking promising! all the others are putting me ON the lake.

[Vayda]

Well keep in mind that just because the map says it's on the lake doesn't mean it actually is. I mean, the lake level is the lowest it's been in what, a bazillion years or something? A coord near the shore wouldn't be impossible.

But then again, you're the geocacher, not me.

[Nittanys1]

naw its not in the right area. the cache was placed a few years ago. its on the trails near that area tho...
