Brain teaser / quiz / riddle to solve

So, just before the brain gets frazzled this weekend, here’s a riddle for you to ponder. You might need a pencil and paper.

DON’T GOOGLE IT !!! :bat What’s the point?...it’s cheating and shows you have no self respect :lol:
There are no prizes, just the chance to test yourself. There is a correct answer, and I’ll post it later.

The question is: Who owns the fish?

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

Other facts:

1. The Brit lives in the red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the immediate left of the white house.
5. The green house’s owner drinks coffee.
6. The owner who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The owner living in the centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The owner who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The owner who keeps the horse lives next to the one who smokes Dunhill.
12. The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The owner who smokes Blends lives next to the one who drinks water.

So who owns the fish?

I shan't put on the answer I got, but I had great fun working it all out - keeps the old grey cells ticking over.
