Who owns the fish

[zeus]

I was looking around on my old school website and found this.....

There are five houses in a row and in five different colours.

In each house lives a person from a different country.

Each person drinks a certain drink, plays a certain sport, and keeps a certain pet.

No two people drink the same drink, play the same sport, or keep the same pet.

    * The Brit lives in a red house
    * The Swede keeps dogs
    * The Dane drinks tea
    * The green house is on the left of the white house
    * The green house owner drinks coffee
    * The person who plays polo rears birds
    * The owner of the yellow house plays hockey
    * The man living in the house right in the centre drinks milk
    * The Norwegian lives in the first house
    * The man who plays baseball lives next to the man who keeps cats
    * The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who plays hockey
    * The man who plays billiards drinks beer
    * The German plays soccer
    * The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
    * The man who plays baseball has a neighbour who drinks water.

Who Owns The Fish?

This puzzle is attributed to Albert Einstein. He claimed that 98% of the world could not work it out. Can you?

The thing took me 15mins but I managed it.

It would have been a lot easier if I had the words on bits of paper which I could move around. I just used a pen and paper.

I'll give you a clue.... he's European!

There was a very similar brain-teaser on my old school science website as well.

1st house is Norwegian and the Norwegian lives next to the blue house, making house #2 blue...

(Because the Norwegian lives next to the blue house.)

Like that, you can live in a house next to another house you know :P

I've solved it, it's not that hard, I would put a spoiler but that'd cause cheating.
