Einstein's Riddle

Albert Einstein wrote this riddle in the last century. He said that 98% of the world could not solve it. Can You?
There are 5 houses, each a different color. In each house lives a person of a different nationality. These five owners each drink a different type of beverage, smoke a different brand of cigar, and keep a different kind of pet.

The Question is: Who owns the fish?


- The Englishman lives in the red house.
- The Swede has a dog.
- The Dane drinks tea.
- The green house is on the immediate left of the white house.
- The green house's owner drinks coffee.
- The person who smokes Pall Mall raises birds.
- The owner of a yellow house smokes Dunhill.
- The man living in the center house drinks milk.
- The Norwegian lives in the first house.
- The man who smokes blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
- The man who keeps hourses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
- The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
- The German smokes Prince.
- The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
- The man who smokes blends has a neighbour who drinks water.

I didn't start right away neither Took me a while to warm up to it.... I signed up and totally forgot about the whole thing for months till my buddy and I went to buy him a winter car in TO, and we got to talkin to the seller and he mentioned TCC and I remembered I was in the Classifieds tooling around months prior. Long story short... here I am!
