Question A bit of Trivia. Are you in the top 15%?

This is a quiz that was (supposedly) written by Einstein. (Supposedly) 85% of the population does NOT possess the logical thinking ability to solve it. Are you among the 15% who can?

(Not sure if all that is true... it's how the quiz was sent to me... I figured it out in about 10 minutes... Enjoy, and DON'T GIVE UP!)

Facts:
1. There are 5 houses of 5 different colors arranged in a straight row.
2. Within each house lives a different owner, all of a different nationality.
3. Each of the 5 owners drinks a different beverage, smoke a different brand of cigar, and keep a different type of pet.
4. You are facing the row of houses and read left to right.

Hints:
1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the left of the white house.
5. The green house owner drinks coffee.
6. The owner who smokes Pall Mall, keeps birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The owner living in the house right in the middle drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The owner who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The owner who keeps horses lives next to the one who smokes Dunhill.
12. The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

The Question: Who has fish for pets?

This is not a trick question... the answer can be reached using logic and deductive reasoning. Good luck!

NSS: Give me your email, and I will email you a response. That way, others can still try to solve it.

Actually, you guys can email me at:
Luvpitts at aol dot com and put TRIVIA in the subject. Tell me who has the fish, and in what house they live, 1,2,3,4, or 5.

Claudia, I appreciate you not posting that I sent in a few wrong answers but, after six tries I'm running out of nationalities.

It just doesn't make sense to me why a beer drinking dog would keep fish for pets.
