I haven't been able to do riddle searching for the past two days, I do all of it in the public library, and these last 2 days I've been walking home directly after school instead of staying at the library for an hour.

Actually, the answer to this is not necessarily infinite moves. My arm when fully extended can reach exactly two feet beyond my toes, meaning I will reach the door after only two moves.

erm the red house, the brit?

MastaChiefX · Post by **MastaChiefX** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 12:58 am

No one owns a fish

Therealmixmax2 · Post by **Therealmixmax2** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 1:48 am

Someone does indeed own a fish, and no, it is not the brit, to avoid people guessing, you will need to not only provide which nationality it is that owns the fish, but what color house he lives in, what he smokes, and what kind of animal he keeps. Einstein said only 2% of the world could solve this riddle. If you paid attention in 3rd grade logic, it should come to you in 20 minutes

The German owns the fish, smokes prince, has a green house, and drinks coffee
