Apart from money-laundering (is it a coincidence that their royal family is the richest in Europe ?) I know that they have something to do with stamps, though I can't remember what exactly. That's small, right?

I think I know one of the answers. It's a piece of trivia that must have lodged in my brain a long time ago and stuck.

Lichtenstein is the world's largest producer of false teeth.

No idea about the other two parts of the question.

That is the correct answer for the 'hobbyist' part of the question. Stamp collectors all over the world strive for them, and at one time, the sale of postage stamps was the country’s single greatest source of revenue.

That's right, too! #1 in the World! There are actually 2 other production items in which this little country ranks first, although one of them tends to be pretty obscure. The other, though, you may have been involved with in the past few days, or may be in the next few... Has to do with 'food.'

Nope! Something that's eaten.
Liechtenstein is the #1 producer of it.
Here's a hint... Liechtenstein sits right next to Austria and Switzerland, and is a German-speaking country...

Good answers all, but ... there can be just one...

Anh comes very close with her answer of sausages...

Actually, Liechtenstein is the World's leading producer of sausage 'casings!' I guess they have to come from somewhere, right?

So.... Maianhvk... please give us our next question!

I think that's Stitchawl's working.
It is indeed the School of Athens fresco by Raphael, and it is located in the Vatican. Of course, the teacher and the student were Plato and Aristotle.

Okay, time for an easy exercise. Let's solve the Einstein quiz. Many of you may have done it before...

Facts:
There are 5 houses in 5 different colors.
In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
These 5 owners drink a certain 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.
Hints:
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 centre drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
The man who keeps horses lives next 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.

Question:
Can you determine who keeps fish?
