Einstein logic puzzle

At work this week we did this logic puzzle as an ice breaker. I thought it was fabulous so I decided to share it with all ya'll


Albert Einstein once posed a brain teaser that he predicted only 2% of the worlds population would be able to solve.

IMPORTANT FACTS:
1. There are 5 houses, painted in 5 different colors.
2. In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
3. These 5 owners drink a different beverage, smoke a different brand of cigarette, and keep a different pet.

NECESSARY CLUES:
1. The British man lives in a red house
2. The Swedish man keeps a dog
3. The Danish man drinks tea
4. The green house is next to, & on the left of the white house.
5. The green house owner drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall keeps 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 Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill
12. The owner who smokes Camel drinks beer
13. The German smokes Marlborough.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
15. The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who drinks water.

The question is, who keeps the fish?

This is not a trick question - it is a genuine logic puzzle. Good luck!
