Riddles in the Dark

[Chu-Chu]

DON"T YOU DARE KILL MY RIDDLE!!!! (Here's why)

Your answer:
Baby in the morning, (birth)
Walking (person) in the afternoon, (middle age)
and with a cane in the evening. (old)

Now that that's settled. Back to MY riddle.

Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

That's the Famous 'gry' riddle. Easy if you google it, hard if you don't. therefore I'll ask a harder riddle that takes some work.

There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and don't give up.

1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
2. In each house lives a person of different nationality
3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

HINTS

1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane 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 centre 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 man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.

THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

~Chu

P.S.
Amy tried to cheat and guess. To answer the question you must give the whole answer. Their nationality, what they smoke, what they drink, the color of their house, and their pet. Since you have to figure it out anyway, list everything for everyone.

[Amy]

the famous gry answer is simple: language... I've heard that one before... and theres an obscure noun out there for the third piece of that if you were looking for that answer-- gry a small unit of measure.

oh btw, the german owns the fish.

Yes, the German owns the fish BUT, if you know the answer, post the WHOLE thing. Not just the nationality and the pet.

[Amy]

Tex, I googled the answer, you're right, please post a riddle.

[TEX]

The paragraph below is most unusual. It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why?

"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honor got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby, walking towards that group, saw a young girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "

(The above passage is taken from the book "Gatsby" written by Ernest Vincent Wright in the late 1930's)

What is unusual about the paragraph above?

P.S. NO CHEATING!!!!1!
