Here's one that'll make smoke come out of your ears.
It's an old one.
There are 5 houses in 5 different colors In each house lives a person with a different nationality These 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink. The Brit lives in a red house The Swede keeps dogs as pets The Dane drinks tea The green house is on the left of the white house The green house owner drinks coffee The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill The man living in the house right in the middle drinks milk The Norwegian lives in the first house The man who smokes Blend lives next door to the one who keeps cats. The man who keeps horses lives next door to the man who smokes Dunhill The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer The German smokes Prince The Norwegian lives next to the blue house The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water
Who owns the fish?

so...lessee here. who has the fish. That's the important part. Brit-Red house. Swede-dogs Dane-Tea -Green-White- Green-Coffee Pall Mall-Birds Yellow-Dunhill middle house-Milk Norwegian-First house- Blend, next door to Cats. Horses, next to Dunhill BlueMaster-Beer German-Prince Second house-Blue Blend, next to Water. ... So far this one just feels like a guess n' check sorta thing where you try and put these bits together so they fit like a jigsaw puzzle.

If I'm right, the German owns the fish.

Somehow I figured you wouldn't have too much issue with that one.
But here's a killer:
A man worked for a high-security institution, and one day he went in to work only to find that he could not log in to his computer terminal. His password wouldn't work. Then he remembered that the passwords are reset every month for security purposes. So he went to his boss and they had this conversation:
Man-"Hey boss, my password is out of date."
Boss-"Yes, that's right. The new password is different, but if you listen carefully you should be able to figure out the new one: It has the same amount of letters as your old password, but only four of the letters are the same."
Man: "Thanks boss."
With that, he went and correctly logged into his station.
What was the new password?
For bonus points what was the old password?

Well, that is a good one.
Will have to think on it.

Of course, letters could be repeated and still count as the same letter. Even so....
So tell me if I've got this right...
New Password is December Old Password is November

No, that's not it.
Though I kinda see your reasoning for that answer.
Still, it's not right.

Tricky.
I thought the joke would kind of be that the high security place used shitty passwords based on the month. And technically, those months have the same number of letters, 4 of which are the same.
Alright so there has to be at least 4.
It isn't the same thing with the month number after it, is it? That would be bad.
The fact is, it seems to rely on information the person should already have. But it can't, because we technically can figure it out.

Here's a clue. A password doesn't necessarily have to be a single word.
