Can you solve "Einstein’s Riddle"? - Dan Van der Vieren

Možete li da rešite „Ajnštajnovu zagonetku”? - Dan Van der Firen (Dan Van der Vieren)

Prevodilac: Marija Kojić Lektor: Mile Živković

Before he turned physics upside down,

Pre nego što je okrenuo fiziku naopačke,

a young Albert Einstein supposedly showed off his genius

Mladi Albert Ajnštajn je navodno pokazao

svoju genijalnost

by devising a complex riddle involving this list of clues.

tako što je smislio kompleksnu zagonetku koja uključuje ovaj spisak tragova.

Can you resist tackling a brain teaser

Možete li da odolite zagonetki

koju je smislio jedan od najpametnijih ljudi

written by one of the smartest people in history?

u istoriji?

Hajde da probamo.

Let's give it a shot.

The world's rarest fish has been stolen from the city aquarium.

Najređa riba na svetu je ukradena iz gradskog akvarijuma.

The police have followed the scent to a street with five identical looking houses.

Policija je pratila miris do ulice sa pet identičnih kuća.

But they can't search all the houses at once,

Međutim, oni ne mogu da istraže sve kuće odjednom,

and if they pick the wrong one, the thief will know they're on his trail.

i ako izaberu pogrešnu lopov će znati da su mu na tragu.

It's up to you, the city's best detective, to solve the case.

Sve zavisi od vas, najboljeg detektiva u gradu,

vi treba da rešite slučaj.

Kada stignete na teren, policija vam otkriva ono što zna.

When you arrive on the scene, the police tell you what they know.

One:

Pod jedan:

vlasnik svake od kuća je druge nacionalnosti,

each house's owner is of a different nationality,

pije drugo piće,

drinks a different beverage,

and smokes a different type of cigar.

i puši drugu vrstu cigara.

Two:

Pod dva:

each house's interior walls are painted a different color.

Unutrašnji zidovi svake kuće su omalani u drugu boju.

Pod tri:

Three:

each house contains a different animal, one of which is the fish.

svaka kuća u sebi ima drugu životinju, od kojih je jedna ona riba.

After a few hours of expert sleuthing, you gather some clues.

Posle par sati stručnog istraživanja, prikupljate neke tragove.

It may look like a lot of information,

Možda se čini da ima dosta informacija,

but there's a clear logical path to the solution.

ali postoji jasan logičan put do rešenja.

Solving the puzzle will be a lot like Sudoku,

Rešiti zagonetku je dosta nalik na Sudoku,

so you may find it helpful to organize your information in a grid, like this.

tako da će vam možda koristiti da organizujete informacije u mrežu,

ovako.

To start, you fill in the information from clues eight and nine.

Za početak,

ispunite informacije za tragove osam i devet.

Takođe, odmah primećujete da, budući da je Norvežanin na kraju ulice,

Immediately, you also realize that since the Norwegian is at the end of the street,

there's only one house next to him,

postoji samo jedna kuća do njegove,

which must be the one with the blue walls in clue fourteen.

što je sigurno ona sa plavim zidovima koja se pominje u četrnaestom tragu.

Clue five says the green-walled house's owner drinks coffee.

Peti trag kaže da vlasnik kuće sa zelenim zidovima

pije kafu.

It can't be the center house since you already know its owner drinks milk,

Ne može biti središnja kuća jer već znate da njen vlasnik pije mleko,

but it also can't be the second house, which you know has blue walls.

ali ne može biti ni druga kuća, za koju znate da ima plave zidove.

And since clue four says

Budući da četvrti trag kaže

the green-walled house must be directly to the left of the white-walled one,

da je kuća sa zelenim zidovima

sigurno odmah levo od kuće sa belim zidovima,

it can't be the first or fifth house either.

ne može biti ni prva ni peta kuća, takođe.

The only place left for the green-walled house

Jedino što je preostalo za kuću sa zelenim zidovima

with the coffee drinker is the fourth spot,

u kojoj je onaj što pije kafu je četvrto mesto,

meaning the white-walled house is the fifth.

što znači da je kuća belih zidova peta.

Clue one gives you a nationality and a color.

Prvi trag vam otkriva nacionalnost i boju.

Since the only column missing both these values is the center one,

Budući da je jedina rubrika kojoj ove vrednosti fale ona središnja,

this must be the Brit's red-walled home.

ovo je sigurno kuća sa crvenim zidovima u kojoj živi Britanac.

Now that the only unassigned wall color is yellow,

Budući da je jedina nedodeljena boja zidova

this must be applied to the first house,

žuta,

ovo svojstvo moramo pripisati prvoj kući,

where clue seven says the Dunhill smoker lives.

gde vam sedmi trag kaže da živi onaj što puši Danhil.

And clue eleven tells you that the owner of the horse is next door,

Jedanaesti trag vam govori da je vlasnik konja u kući pored,

which can only be the second house.

a ta kuća može biti samo druga u nizu.

Sledeći korak je da otkrijete koje piće pije Norvežanin iz prve kuće.

The next step is to figure out what the Norwegian in the first house drinks.

It can't be tea, clue three tells you that's the Dane.

Ne pije čaj, jer vam treći trag govori

da čaj pije Danac.

As per clue twelve, it can't be root beer since that person smokes Bluemaster,

Kao što kaže dvanaesti trag, ne pije bezalkoholno pivo

jer ta osoba puši Blumaster,

and since you already assigned milk and coffee,

a budući da su mleko i kafa već dodeljeni,

it must be water.

ostaje samo voda.

From clue fifteen,

Iz petnaestog traga,

you know that the Norwegian's neighbor, who can only be in the second house,

znate da komšija Norvežanina, koji može biti

samo u drugoj kući u nizu,

smokes Blends.

puši Blends.

Now that the only spot in the grid without a cigar and a drink

Budući da je jedino mesto u mreži bez vrste cigara i pića

is in the fifth column,

peta rubrika,

that must be the home of the person in clue twelve.

to mora biti kuća osobe iz dvanaestog traga.

And since this leaves only the second house without a drink,

I budući da to ostavlja jedino drugu kuću

bez pića,

the tea-drinking Dane must live there.

tamo sigurno živi Danac koji pije čaj.

The fourth house is now the only one missing a nationality and a cigar brand,

Četvrta kuća je sada jedina koja nema nacionalnost i vrstu cigara,

so the Prince-smoking German from clue thirteen must live there.

tako da Nemac koji puši Prins iz trinaestog traga sigurno živi tamo.

Through elimination, you can conclude that the Brit smokes Pall Mall

Kroz proces eliminacije, možete zaključiti da Britanac puši Pal Mal

and the Swede lives in the fifth house,

i da Šveđanin živi u petoj kući,

while clue six and clue two tell you

dok vam šesti i drugi trag govore

that these two have a bird and a dog, respectively.

da ovo dvoje drže pticu i psa.

Clue ten tells you that the cat owner lives next to the Blend-smoking Dane,

Deseti trag vam govori da vlasnik mačke živi pored Danca koji puši Blend,

putting him in the first house.

što znači da on živi u prvoj kući.

Now with only one spot left on the grid,

Budući da je ostalo samo jedno mesto u mreži,

you know that the German in the green-walled house must be the culprit.

znate da je Nemac u kući sa zelenim zidovima

sigurno lopov.

You and the police burst into the house,

Vi i policija upadate u kuću,

catching the thief fish-handed.

i hvatate lopova na delu.

While that explanation was straightforward,

Iako je to objašnjenje jednostavno,

solving puzzles like this often involves false starts and dead ends.

rešavanje ovakvih zagonetki često uključuje pogrešne početke

i ćorsokake.

Part of the trick is to use the process of elimination

Trik je delimično u tome da se uzdamo u proces eliminacije

and lots of trial and error to hone in on the right pieces,

i na mnogo pokušavanja i grešenja da otkrijemo prave delove,

and the more logic puzzles you solve,

i što više logičkih zagonetki rešite,

the better your intuition will be

vaša intuicija će biti bolja

for when and where there's enough information to make your deductions.

kada i gde bude dovoljno informacija da izvodite vaše zaključke.

And did young Einstein really write this puzzle?

Da li je mladi Ajnštajn stvarno napisao

ovu zagonetku?

Probably not.

Verovatno nije.

There's no evidence he did,

Nema dokaza da je to bio on,

and some of the brands mentioned are too recent.

i neke marke koje se pominju pojavile su previše skoro.

But the logic here is not so different

Ipak, logika ovde nije tako drugačija

from what you'd use to solve equations with multiple variables,

od one koje ste uposlili da rešite jednačine sa više varijabli,

even those describing the nature of the universe.

čak i one jednačine koje opisuju prirodu univerzuma.
