Einstein’s riddle

I received the riddle below hundreds of times, and I always printed it to have a go at it. I never seemed to have the time to do it though. I received it again yesterday, and as I was clearing my inbox, I decided to really attempt to solve it. Amazing my self, I solved it! (Not really, I always knew I’m smart!)

C’mon take your shot at it!

It goes like this

1. There are 5 houses in 5 different colours. In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
2. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet.
3. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same beverage.
   

The question is “Who owns the fish?’

The Facts:

• 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 green house’s owner drinks coffee.
• The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
• The owner of the 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 the horse 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 neighbor who drinks water.

Einstein wrote this riddle last century. He said 98% of the world could not solve it.

The right answer (that means the answer I got!) is in the comment.
