This riddle was said to have been developed by a very young Einstein. It has also been said that Einstein said that 98% of the world would not be able to solve it. I no clear proofs of this, but it is a really good work for the mind. So I present it here. It needs mostly logic, patience and time; but you can solve it quite easily.
Here is the riddle:
There are 5 houses in five different colours.
In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
