There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 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.
The question is “Who owns the fish?â€

Let me be the first to say the fish is owned by the German:
Norwegian-- Dane----Brit--------German----Swede
Yellow--------Blue-----Red--------Green------White
Water--------Tea------Milk--------Coffee-----Beer
Dunhill-------Blends---PollMall---Prince------Bluemasters
Cat-----------Horse----Bird-------Fish--------Dog

The way I see it crayfish you are part of the 2%.
Ok, how long did it take to figure it out? Me - it was 2 and half hours but I was drinking beer!

Oh, now that I post my answer I see that some someone else has a better answer. I dont see how the Norwegian has the cat, I ruled that out early (although I dont remember why).
