Einstein's riddle, omo edition!


Recommended Posts

Einstein's riddle is as follows:

- There are 5 girls with 5 diffrent names
- Each one is wearing diffrent type of pants, has a diffrent age and a diffrent haircolour
- Each of them is in a diffrent stage of desperation
- Using the following hints, you must find out: which girl peed herself?

 

Hints:

  • the 18-year old is wearing yoga pants
  • the 20-year old is shaking in desperation
  • the 21-year old has blonde hair
  • the girl wearing jeans is to the left of the girl wearing a skirt
  • the girl wearing jeans has brown hair
  • the girl named Emma is completely dry
  • the girl wearing shorts is called Mary
  • the girl in the middle is a ginger
  • the 22-year old is the leftmost girl
  • the girl named Lily stands next to the girl that's squirming
  • the fidgeting girl stands next the girl named Mary
  • the girl named Chloe has black hair
  • the 25-year-old is called Sandra
  • the 22-year old stands next to the girl wearing tights
  • the girl named Lily stands next to a girl with white hair

 

To make it easier, here's a list of features:

Pants:        | Age:    | Hair:             | Names:    | Desperation:
- Yoga        | - 18      | - Blonde     | - Emma   | - Dry
- Jeans      | - 20     | - Brown       | - Lily          | - Fidgeting
- Shorts     | - 21      | - Ginger      | - Chloe      | - Squirming
- Tights     | - 22      | - Black        | - Mary       | - Shaking
- Skirt        | - 25     | - White        | - Sandra   | - Wet
 

Solution/explenation (warning, looooooong):

 

We have 5 girls (let's call them 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 from left to right), from the hints we can gather the following: 

The leftmost one is 22, and therefore:

  • Doesn't wear yoga pants
  • Isn't shaking
  • Isn't blonde
  • Isn't ginger
  • Isn't called Sandra

We also know she's standing next to the girl in the tights, who is number 2, and thus:

  • Isn't 18 years old
  • Doesn't have brown hair
  • Isn't called Mary
  • Isn't ginger

We can then deduce that, since girl #1 is next to the girl in tights, she:

  • isn't wearing jeans
  • thusly doesn't have brown hair

We also know this to be true for girl #5, as she is the last in the row.

Since the middle girl is a ginger, we know that girl #4:

  • Has brown hair as nobody else can have that colour
  • thus is wearing jeans
  • Isn't called Chloe
  • Isn't 21 years old

And girl #3:

  • Isn't 21 years old
  • Isn't called Chloe

We now also know girl #5 is wearing the skirt (since #4 is wearing the jeans), meaning there's only one option left for girl #1:

  • She is wearing shorts
  • Thus, she is called Mary

The fidgeting girl is standing next to Mary, so that's girl #2

Now that we know the type of pants for 4 of the girls, we know girl #3:

  • Is wearing yoga pants
  • Thus is 18 years old
  • Thus isn't called Sandra
  • And isn't shaking

We also know girl #2 isn't 20 years old, as she's fidgeting, not squirming. On top of that, she's also not called Emma, as she isn't completely dry.

Using the same logic, we know girl #1 isn't completely dry, as she isn't called Emma. We also know this girl doesn't have black hair, as she isn't called Chloe.

This means girl #2 is the only one standing next to a white-haired girl, thus, she is called Lily.

From here we can work out all the girls names:

  • The only option left for #3 is Emma
  • Meaning #4 is Sandra
  • Meaning #5 is Chloe

From here, we look at the hints that are "name-specific", which tells us:

  • Girl #4 is 25
  • Thus, #2 is 21 and is a blonde
  • Thus, #5 is 20 and has black hair

Now all we need to figure out is their state of desperation:

  • Girl #5 is shaking
  • Girl #3 is completely dry
  • Girl #1 is squirming

This means our winner is...#4!

Here's an overview of the girls's "profiles" completed from left to right:

Girl #1:

  • Mary
  • 22 years old
  • Wearing shorts
  • Has white hair
  • Squirming

Girl #2:

  • Lily
  • 21 years old
  • Wearing tights
  • Has blonde hair
  • Fidgeting

Girl #3:

  • Emma
  • 18 years old
  • Wearing yoga pants
  • Is a ginger
  • Completely dry

Girl #4:

  • Sandra
  • 25 years old
  • Wearing jeans
  • Has brown hair
  • Wet

Girl #5:

  • Chloe
  • 20 years old
  • Wearing a skirt
  • Has black hair
  • Shaking

I hope you enjoyed! Did you solve the riddle yourself or look up the answer?

Fun fact: I actually did the riddle myself completely without looking up the answer. It took me two days, but only because I had exams this week, I've done it before within an hour! People claim only 2% of the worlds population can solve it, can you?

 

See ya around!
