[365-184] 頭腦體操 - Cheryl's Birthday & Einstein's riddle

最近在辦公室，大家特別關心一位叫做Cheryl的同事，每個人見到她，不是說『Cheryl 我知道你的生日是哪一天了！』，就是說『Cheryl 你的生日到底是哪一天？』

為什麼大家這麼關心Cheryl的生日呢？？？因為最近新加坡的網民們，都在忙著解答這個據說是小學生的數學測驗題：Cheryl's birthday

為了證明我比小學生要厲害一點，我接下同事的戰帖，順利找出了Cheryl的生日是哪一天！明明只是小學生程度的問題，但解題成功不知為何讓我整個人非常興奮，好像是突然發現自己可能是個數學天才或福爾摩斯這樣！（明明是因為比小學生多活了20年啊！)



同事看我這麼快解題，居然馬上又寄來一個新題目挑戰我：

riddle

The situation

1. There are 5 houses in five different colors.

3. These five owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.
4. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same beverage.

The question is: Who owns the fish?
