Nai, none of them...
You're kind of on the right lines, but think bigger.
It also goes down and down and down and never moves from the surface.

Ohnoes. Don't make me answer again...
You've got a few things that kind of make sense with the answer. But it's bigger than that.
Very solid. Massive thing. Kinda triangularish.

We have a winner!! A Mountain was the correct answer. (And for those of you who don't know, mountains have roots, just like trees. Except they go an awful lot deeper and wider. So whenever you're weighing a mountain (and this does get done!) you have to have a guess at the size of the root as well...) Random fact for the day dispensed, my work here is now done.

Then couldn't the answer also be an iceburg? Only ten percent or so of iceburgs are on top of the water, right?

The story behind Einstein's riddle is that Albert Einstein created it in the late 1800s, and claimed that 98% of the world population couldn't solve it. I am not sure of the true origin, but I have seen this one floating around the internet, and it is a good brain exercise. Here it is:
- In a street there are five houses, painted five different colors.
- In each house lives a person of different nationality
- These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.
Einstein's riddle is: Who owns the fish?
Necessary clues:
1. The British man lives in a red house. 2. The Swedish man keeps dogs as pets. 3. The Danish man drinks tea. 4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house. 5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee. 6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds. 7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill. 8. The man living in the center house drinks milk. 9. The Norwegian lives in the first house. 10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats. 11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill. 12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer. 13. The German smokes Prince. 14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house. 15. The Blends smoker lives next to the one who drinks water.

Yours was difficult. Raven's is just harder -- I screwed up on about five different pages before I opened up my graph notebook.
((And to give a hint on how to go about it -- 30 by 30 squares. It helps a lot.))

You all are going to hate me..
I figured it out. The coffee-drinking, Prince Cigar-smoking German in the green house owns the fish in Einstein's riddle.
