My math teacher had four puzzles like this for me to solve just before Christmas break and I spent almost the entire hour and a half of class working on them. One of the best math classes I've ever had this year!

Anyway, if you decide to buy one of their puzzle books, make sure you either get the "Math and Logic Puzzles book", or their just plain "Logic Puzzles." They offer lots of other kinds of puzzles, but those are the best ones. I'm addicted. EDIT: Many of their puzzles are MUCH harder than this one, but then again, there are logic puzzles that are super easy in the beginning of the books.

***** No need to assume I feel like I'm better than everyone because I make a comment. That's your own projection. Math solves real problems. This is a fake problem. You can do the math and figure that out right? What is the purpose of making and solving fake problems when there are real ones out there to use your brain on; there is none other than practice, understanding. Once you understand you are supposed to move on. Riddles like these aren't nearly as fun as real ones. Math, after all, was created to solve real problems, not practice on fake ones. My point is this TedEd celebrates the practice, and suggests Einstein had a hand in making it to draw attention to it. Even they admit he did not later. Which is baseless sensationalism.
Nick Steele Technically everything is mathematical, so does that mean that things that waste our time, such as fake problems, and my comment actually does not waste our time? :o Fake riddles, helps you perceptualize real problems, and situations. This riddle was a matter or Organization, Observation, and Elimination. It helps improve our senses to be able to detect and understand things with better thought, as well as quickens our eliminations and make faster decisions. This way, when we come across any type of situation, we can narrow down selections to make a better judgement. Also, "Einstien's Riddle" is the common known name for the riddle he spoke about. That is why they talked about that subject at the end. As a matter of fact, they even give you the reason as to why Einstein did not make this with the use of Observation and Elimination. It was something so simple to search up, yet you had reason to believe that TED-Ed "suggests Einstein had a hand in making it to draw attention to it." Sometimes, the easiest of answers are right under the nose. That's why I love riddles. ^_^
I actually solved this and it took me about 45 minutes but when I was done I felt so accomplished and I ran around my house screaming *spoiler* IT WAS THE GERMAN Sorry guys I didn’t mean to spoil it for anyone I just thought you would’ve figured because I said I solved it Before you click read more. Very sorry.
The thief would have probably already gotten away, by the time, the detective: - Came to the scene - Received all the information from the police - Took time to think and use process of elimination, which takes a long time - And burst into the home of the culprit, because he could’ve sneaked out the back… But I like the riddle
Admittedly, I usually end up skipping for the answer on puzzles like these, but this one just sort of grasped my attention and it was really satisfying to get the answer through the sudoku/codeword style

This riddle was hard but didnt use common logic, it used problem solving technics and clue finding. I really enjoy these kinds of puzzles and this one was the most difficult one yet.
When the video started: 'Can you resist solving one of the riddles composed by the smartest person in history?' Me: no When the video ends: 'It MaY nOt Be AlBeRt EiNsTeIn ThAt CrEaTeD tHiS rIdDlE'
What I ended up doing is drawing up a chart of houses numbered 1-5, and drew lines to separate each house, as well as each category: Nationality, Color of the house, pet, drink, and Cigar. Then on the side I wrote down each article in each category, like Norwegian, Milk, Pall Mall, etc. Then I went through the clues until I could find something I could place on the list, starting with 9: The Norwegian lives in the first house. I then wrote down Norwegian under the column for the first house, in the row dedicated to Nationality, and I crossed Norwegian off my list on the side. I then systematically went through each clue, filling in what I could, as well as putting in possibilities, until I ruled out all but one option. I did this until I filled in everything but the Fish, which I placed in the final empty slot, and deduced that the German in the 4th house with Green walls who smoked Prince and drank Coffee stole the Fish.
Since it only said we can't search all 5 houses at once, we can search 4 houses at once. There's a 80% chance we go in the thief's house, and if we dom't, a cop sees if the fish is still in the thief's house and the rest chase after the thief. If the fish is there, the cop in the house communicates through walkie talkie. If not, they catch up.
J Girl I resolved this riddle when I was in 3rd grade and it took me about 1h. Yes, it's a lot but I was 8. (Sorry but english isn't my native language)
Took me an embarrassing amount of time to solve the puzzle without using the grid. I decided to do the puzzle with the grid and solved it almost instantly.
I only made one mistake that drove me crazy otherwise I would have gotten the answer. My mistake was to assume that water and cat belong to different homes.
uhh since it was supposedly written by Einstein so I took the shortway and assumed that the dude with the fish has to be german but ofcourse its a chance but it was a detail that would be extreemly ironic if it worked out
In the last house -literally got everything right but switch the exact same details with 4 and 5 because I didnt know which left we were going on about
...the German didn't forget the riddler. He went to jail, served his time, got out, started a political movement, seized all of the riddler's property, put a literal price on his head and killed 6mio of the riddler's people...

Lmao it’s overused but it’s amazing
Hi Papyrus. I have some advice for you. If the human is killing everyone... DON'T HUG THEM!
1: Say the fish has green eyes
2: Ask for the fish to leave
But can you just get other policemen to divide in the five houses
surroung allthe hous3s
That was my first thought lol
They said they can't search every house at once
Or use the dog to sniff out the person
+Zied Kanzari But what about the rare fish?😒
When the video started: 'Can you resist solving one of the riddles composed by the smartest person in history?'
Me: no
When the video ends: 'It MaY nOt Be AlBeRt EiNsTeIn ThAt CrEaTeD tHiS rIdDlE'
Exactly 😂 that's why I solved this in the first place
And Einstein, as smart as he was, wasn't the smartest person in history.
I remembered when the whole school got this test atst and I was the first to solve that problem. THE HYPE.
Yes me too ! We're the chosen ones.
NERDS!
Come on guys, let's give these no gud teacha's pets a lesson is swirly!
DaCamponTwee my teachers hate me since I dont really give af about school lol
I love logic problems but they stress me out. I won't stop one unless it is finished
+cfz you'll most probably regret that thought in a few years
That's the first TED riddle I've solved myself, I'm so proud
The Brit doesn't drink tea? I don't trust him. It was definitely him.
+Mr Pebbles Lol
I'm British and I still laughed at this
This is the first riddle i've solved here in TED-Ed, i feel so smart AHAHA
I feel you
Kind off easy "JUST SEND A COP TO EACH HOUSE AT THE SAME TIME" CAUGHT YAA!!
Sanyukta Kadam "But they can't search all the house at once"
Get More Cops Then, Person Guy
Lol loop holes
What I ended up doing is drawing up a chart of houses numbered 1-5, and drew lines to separate each house, as well as each category: Nationality, Color of the house, pet, drink, and Cigar. Then on the side I wrote down each article in each category, like Norwegian, Milk, Pall Mall, etc. Then I went through the clues until I could find something I could place on the list, starting with 9: The Norwegian lives in the first house. I then wrote down Norwegian under the column for the first house, in the row dedicated to Nationality, and I crossed Norwegian off my list on the side. I then systematically went through each clue, filling in what I could, as well as putting in possibilities, until I ruled out all but one option. I did this until I filled in everything but the Fish, which I placed in the final empty slot, and deduced that the German in the 4th house with Green walls who smoked Prince and drank Coffee stole the Fish.
The Brit should drink TEA!
No?
Also, EVERYONE drinks water.
Wow, when the Dane came in, he said, "Hi."XD
that's not the point but true
Danae Dang 😂😂lol
HE SHOULD
i was high as fuck and took 3 hours and still didn't solve it, i woke up next morning and solved it in 10 minutes
jason cheng ftw hahahahhhh😂
jason cheng I know y because u high as fuck
jason cheng kkk
jason cheng I did this in school one year ago and solved it it 10 minutes too
jason cheng I love you
It took me some time, but i actually SOLVED this shit... Feels good. haha
+MD Q ME TOO and im 13 yay
+MD Q me too :)
Me too and I'm Einstein
+RossBoss74 Your age doesn't matter.
+Jansen Baja No you're not
Since it only said we can't search all 5 houses at once, we can search 4 houses at once. There's a 80% chance we go in the thief's house, and if we dom't, a cop sees if the fish is still in the thief's house and the rest chase after the thief. If the fish is there, the cop in the house communicates through walkie talkie. If not, they catch up.
Is it a riddle or a promoted ad for 5 different cigarette brands? If yes, I'm *S T O K E D*
this riddle was way easier than the others they've showed. we did this in Spanish class in middle school. the only difficult part was the Spanish lol
got it on the 2nd try after 7:54
J Girl I resolved this riddle when I was in 3rd grade and it took me about 1h. Yes, it's a lot but I was 8.
(Sorry but english isn't my native language)
Utente Anonimo hi (sorry for my english)
cuatica la wea I don't uderstand what do you mean.
3:07 am. I spent 2 hours on this. Kill me.
💣💣💣💣💣💣💣
+Zac Reagan thank you
Giulia Giulietta your welcome
🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪
👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿
Took me an embarrassing amount of time to solve the puzzle without using the grid.
I decided to do the puzzle with the grid and solved it almost instantly.
I spent a lot of time on this XD But I am so proud I actually got it!
Me too, but sometimes I thought to complicated.
+Alkiiis same
SAMEEEE
me too. took me a solid half hour though
me too but I only took 20 minutes
Solved this in about 15 minutes, using a spreadsheet
I feel so clever now
Hiyuke La Vie I envie your cleverness
@@sanyamishra2825 Thank you, I am happy to receive your praise
What’s a spreadsheet?
If you are lying then you are a very bad person
@@Fyyryf4r153 I doubt they're lying, I did it in about 15 minutes on paper too.
Is it just me, or is this the only riddle of TedEd that actually made sense?
True
No cuz they could've just called 3 other cops and searched all the houses at once
+Stfu5 but instead of doing that they call a detective 😐😐😐
Nah, the one about the resistance leaders made perfect sense.
yeah
I only made one mistake that drove me crazy otherwise I would have gotten the answer.
My mistake was to assume that water and cat belong to different homes.
Well if I was the detective the theif would already have been gone cause I took so long 😂
Same lol😂
uhh since it was supposedly written by Einstein so I took the shortway and assumed that the dude with the fish has to be german but ofcourse its a chance but it was a detail that would be extreemly ironic if it worked out
flying detective
Same but I did solve it so I'm excited to have solved something that Einstein created
So true
Plot twist
Einstein didn't write it
That was what was said.
Then why is called the Einstein’s riddle then
Shy Guy The Great because the riddle was made for Einstein
Shy Guy The Great Good question.
Because the person who wrote it was smart like Albert Einstein.
OMG IM SO PROUD OF MYSELF THIS IS THE FIRST RIDDLE IVE FIGURED OUT ON THIS CHANNEL!!!
Me too
But it took me 2 hours :( too long isn't it?
I thought this would be some crazy expert big brain mind riddle, but it was actually just a logic puzzle
Am I the only one that never tries these? Just me okay....
Me 2
nope
+Art_lyddie 0_0 same here its really interesting...
IVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR 2 HOURS!!!!!!
Nope
Maybe don't go after a FREAKING FISH?
Or get 5 officers to search each house?
The word will explode if you do that
Owen Davis but the fish is the world's RAREST fish
B sleep Your right its an alpha zeta beta cheeto fish
Owen Davis no it is a Shiny Magikarp
I am saying it is good because...it's...ITS EVOLUTION IS CRAZY
The thief looked out the window and saw the police working on the clues, so he sneaked out and escaped 😑
Snuck*
plot twist: they arrested some guy who already owned a similar looking fish, and that guy had to leave but his door was stuck.
0:50 I guess 'arrive' means to jump magically from the sky. (Great riddle, nonetheless)
Dont tell me, this whole puzzle is not my left but THEIR LEFT!!!!!
Yup, it was thier left. The german has the fish in his green house while drinking his coffee and enjoying his Prince cigs
In the last house
-literally got everything right but switch the exact same details with 4 and 5 because I didnt know which left we were going on about
When you are looking at the screen its same left lol.
...the German didn't forget the riddler. He went to jail, served his time, got out, started a political movement, seized all of the riddler's property, put a literal price on his head and killed 6mio of the riddler's people...
I got it correct !!!!!!!
If Sherlock Holmes answers this, he doesn't need the column. He definitely have answer after reading the clues 😅
Yey, I did it with the help of a table. I feel so smart, lol
+Oliver C Lol..
U must be a Bad Liar.
Lol me too
you can make a table with pen and paper, so it doesnt really matter if you used one. good job.
That's it, for me the table was the key to solving the problem
so I'm the only lazy one here who didn't even bother to solve the riddle and watched the entire video with ought pausing.😌
+ash ketchum right here with you
aye
+Fruity Fox same,who'd waste time solving riddle while you know that the thief is hiding somewhere in one of those 5 houses? 😂
and I gave my friends to solve this riddle and they took it seriously, they sent me pics of proof that they'd solved it.
You should learn how to spell "without" and don't be lazy
naaah me too
damn, it took me like an hour, but it feels so good when you solve it
My first time took 18 minutes and 43 seconds. I had a timer because me and my friend we're seeing who could finish first.
Did you beat him?
it does feel good
I mean besides I'm never gonna get the 10 years I worked on this back
but o well
ikr I feel like I deserve a cookie or something
