GC11QB5 Einstein's Riddle (Unknown Cache) in North East England, United Kingdom created by G Force

This cache has been archived.

G Force: Walking the dogs and saw the barriers have been removed but sadly when I looked for the cache it was missing. Not sure if it got muggled or washed away but it was not there. I think this cache has run it's course and time to archive it which frees up the area if anyone else wants to place one near the newly built fish pass for the salmon. Many thanks to all who have found it and my apologies to those who logged a DNF.

Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are to the recommended parking and not to the cache. To find the cache you must first solve the following.

Supposedly Albert Einstein wrote this riddle early during the 19th century. He said 98% of the world could not solve it.

There are five houses in five different colours starting from left to right. In each house lives a person of a different nationality. These owners all drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigarette and keep a certain type of pet. No two owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand or drink the same beverage. The question is: WHO OWNS THE FISH??? Hints:
· The Brit lives in the red house.
· The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
· The Dane drinks tea.
· The green house is on the left of the white house.
· The green homeowner drinks coffee.
· The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
· The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
· The man living in the center house drinks milk.
· The Norwegian lives in the first house.
· The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
· The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
· The owner who smokes Bluemaster drinks beer.
· The German smokes prince.
· The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
· The man who smokes Blend has a neighbour who drinks water.
