Sure, I'm in. I just hope Greg doesn't post one of those riddles that take an hour to figure out!

A farmer was going to town with a fox, a goose and a sack of corn. When he came to a stream, he had to cross in a tiny boat, and could only take across one thing at a time. However, if he left the fox alone with the goose, the fox would eat the goose, and if he left the goose alone with the corn, the goose would eat the corn. How does he get them all safely over the stream?

First he takes the goose across and leaves him on the other side. Then he takes the fox across and leaves him there, and on the return trip, brings the goose back. Leaves the goose on the starting shore, and picks up the corn. Leaves the corn with the fox. Goes back, gets goose, sails to Shore B.

First he takes the goose. Then he comes back and takes the corn. However, this time he brings the goose back. Now he takes the fox over, comes back, gets the goose and everyone lives happily ever after.

Einstein's Riddle
- In a street there are five houses, painted five different colors.
- In each house lives a person of different nationality.
- These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.
Einstein's riddle is: Who owns the fish?
Necessary clues:
1. The British man lives in a red house.
2. The Swedish man keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Danish man drinks tea.
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the center house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The Blends smoker lives next to the one who drinks water.
Einstein created it in the late 1800s, and claimed that 98% of the world population couldn't solve it. Are you among the 2% that can solve it?

I'm writing an email so I'll pass on this one and Greg can have an uninterrupted session (unless other people are playing ) and I'll try and figure it tomorrow morning
I'd love to solve it but it's eating up the email time and I gotta get this done now
