Misteriousmr 541 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) 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! - Glenn Edited April 6, 2017 by Misteriousmr Did a dumbz :p (see edit history) Link to comment
