I have solved this one long ago, when I was 12. I took me about twenty minutes, and it's not that hard if you know how to organize yourself. Moreover, this riddle has been repeated so many times that I know the answer by heart.

The answer is: The German

Of course, that is unless you have changed it somehow

I remember solving it 2 months ago in this topic. It wasn't easy, but I did it.

Yea I solved it back in the day as well, we did lots of those logic type problems then. It's just about not getting lost in the information they give you and eventually you'll come to the answer. Unless you've sat down and tried it or seen a good method of doing this type of problem, however, it would often just turn into a big mess of facts that are meaningless.

I'd hate to think that only 2% of the world can answer this question... It's not too difficult. Almost like Sudoku really; using logic, within constraints, to solve the missing 'number.' In this case, the nationality. Have fun, and thanks for the puzzle.

This looks like a pure logics problem.
This is the kind of things I hate.
I even did not try solving this problem.
Rather go to bed.

Without giving too much information, logic problems can either be solved all in your head or, more practically, on paper. In this problem, with all the constraints, it is necessary for most people to just write out all the limitations. Although honestly this is less a logical problem, than just a 'logical' progression of exclusions. Similar problems as this are often found, in great frequency, in I.Q. rating exams.

That's exactly what I am stating. IQ exams are supposed to test your Intelligence. And the current test just tests a kind of logics. Logics is not intelligence, it's just one way of intelligent behaviour, it's not the only one. Finding his path throught the jungle or downtown Manhattan is a second type of Intelligence, probably most important (especially if you are hungry) not measured by this test.

I.Q. Tests annoy the hell out of me just in concept. I mean, how can a test ever actually accurately guage overall intelligence? It makes no sense to me personally. They can gain ideas as to who is more intelligent in various aspects, but the test to accurately depict overall I.Q. would be ginormous.

Solved this a long time ago, in 7th grade I think. Actually, I think that in 7th grade it was already the second time I did this quiz. I do remember being the only person in my class to be able to solve the puzzle, and all the other kids were asking me the answers, and I told them that it's not graded so it doesn't matter, but I had to relent after the attention I got from the other sex that day.

Well, I really think that IQ test results, as numbers, aren't really that good. I mean, there are lots of ways to quantitate a specific portion of a person's intelligence, but the sum isn't really meaningul. An IQ of 121 what? Just 121? What does that mean? I haven't taken an IQ test yet, so I'm not really giving an objective answer here, I might be wrong, but I think I can score high on these tests (I have a logical mind. ), so I wouldn't object to taking one in case it might help my application to some university or something.

Here in Israel universities really depend on your high school graduation diploma, which I'm not sure I'll have, it's kind of in doubt right now, so a high IQ score, which I think is something I can achieve, can really boost my chances to get a real job and carreer. I know I'm being euphoric when I say this, but I don't know, I really think that high school graduation is a different thing from university education, because being a teenager makes lots of things seem difficult and unproportional, and if they seem that way, they end up being that way.

To summarize this pretty much offtopic rant, I just am sad that my hormones got to me during my high school years, otherwise my life could've been that much easier right now.
