Here's a quiz problem thing I got from school, Einstien originally wrote this and it has been modified slightly and about 2% of the world can do this...or so they say
Anyway if u have some time to spare grab a peice of paper n a pen n try n solve this thing..it took me more than an hr to solve but i was watching a movie so yeh..

2) The Sweede plays scrabble
3) The Dane drinks tea
4) The green house is immediatly left of the white house
5) The owner of the green house drinks coffee

2% of the world HA! :D

Probably 2% of the world has the PATIENCE to do it.

Doesn't seem terribly hard...did it in 15-20 minutes and I'm no whiz. Then again, one of my neighbors is into S&M, while another of my neighbors works as a policeman. The neighbor to my left wears a french maid outfit while washing his car.

Anyway...

I think Dunehill is supposed to be Dunhill, at the very least that's what I smoke; I've never heard of Dunehill.
