So is it as difficult as it says? Apparently only 2% of the population can figure it out.

Maybe we're all genuises. Maybe it's just not that difficult.

I didn't have time to figure it out in my busy schedule.

I didn't have time to figure it out in my busy schedule.

set out a 5 by 5 grid. put one to five along the top (being the house numbers) then put nation, drink, cigar, pet, etc down the side. The first one to put in is clue number 8, the man in the centre house drinks milk. And then with a combination of informed, intuitive guesses and logic you'll be left with Gerry and the fishy.

I'd imagine an 8 yr old with enough time on their hands would have the logical ability to get the right answer if they had the grid in front of them. The 98% thing is probably pulled out of thin air (or more likely from the fact that you need an IQ in the top 2 percentile to qualify for MENSA so they will constitute that with genius).

still, a fun one to keep the brain ticking over.

nailed.

Is there anything CD.com can't do?

Revolution, military coup, drive around in a black GM with a red stripe down the side.

You want it sorted, CD.com can do it!

We can do that to find them but there's no fun in searching for answers now is there?

What am I?

I'm as small as an ant, as big as a whale. I'll approach like a breeeze, but can come like a gale. By some I get hit, but all have shown fear. I'll dance to the music, though I can't hear. Of names I have many, of names I have one. I'm as slow as a snail, but from me you can't run. What am I?
