These kind of things are quite easy if you draw a diagram. I don't know many people who can _not_ solve one that way; perhaps the 2% is the number of people who can solve it without using pen & paper? Now that would be a challenge, I doubt I could... be interesting to try but I'd have to try it on a different one 'cause I already know the solution to this one, it's old!

you know, I solved this riddle when I was 12 years old. Me and my friends were preparing for a maths contest and our teacher gave us the quiz to think about at school. Eventually almost everyone solved it. Its easy, you just need to follow the clues. It was the German who had the fishes. easy. cool and no, I am not the part of that 2%. lol

Wow! I could only solve it in 38 minutes. once I got near the halfway point it came together rather quickly. You can send me an email and I'll reply with the answer.
nevermind on the email

I didn't do it but I know that I can. All the info is there so just put pencil to paper and viola! It's like those SAT questions where John is taller than Lucy who is shorter than Anne......and on and on.
At first I hadn't seen the clues so I was like, damn! But with the clues, it can be done.
