Einstein's Riddle

[P4R0XYSM]

The statement you posted suggested that no owners have the same, well,
taking this logically I am assuming that this means they cannot share the
same pet, the statement does not explicitly specify that no two people can
own a fish, they could own different fishes, this would not be the same pet,
perhaps as a consequence of this, uncertainty comes into play and everyone
owns the fish at the same time.  I wonder if Einstein saw the quantum
implications behind his riddle.  Hehe

Only Joking
