Einstein's Riddle

[Gobalopper]

Have fun. Be sure to [ hide ] your answers and don't answer if you already know it. Einstein said only 2% of the population could solve this... without cheating! ;)

There are 5 houses of 5 different colors. In each house lives a person of a different nationality. Each of the 5 residents drinks a certain type of beverage, smokes a certain brand of cigar, and keeps a certain pet. None of them have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same beverage.

Question: Who owns the fish?

Hints:

• The Brit lives in the red house.
• The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
• The Dane drinks tea.
• The green house is on the left of the white house.
• The resident of the green house drinks coffee.
• The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
• The resident of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
• The resident of the center house drinks milk.
• The Norwegian lives in the first house.
• The person who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
• The person who keeps the horse lives next to the one who smokes Dunhill.
• The person who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
• The German smokes Prince.
• The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
• The person who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.

[Mahdi]

I did a check on the net, it's right.

I think Einsteins ego got the best of him. Bright I am, but top 2% in the world bright? I don't think so.
