Following on from Chef's riddles, i remembered a riddle type puzzle i was posed once and thought id share it!
Im sure you can find the answer on the internet but please dont spoil for others!!
-------------------------------------------------------------
There are five houses sitting next to each other on a neighborhood street. Each house's owner is of a different nationality. Each house has different colored walls. Each house's owner drinks their own specific beverage, smokes their own brand of cigar, and keeps a certain type of pet. None of the houses share any of these variables—nationality, wall color, beverage, cigar, and pet—they are all unique.
Here is what we know:
The Englishman lives in the house with red walls.
The Swede keeps dogs.
The Dane drinks tea.
The house with green walls is just to the left of the house with white walls.
The owner of the house with green walls drinks coffee.
The man who smokes Pall Mall keeps birds.
The owner of the house with yellow walls smokes Dunhills.
The man in the center house drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The Blend smoker has a neighbor who keeps cats.
The man who smokes Blue Masters drinks beer.
The man who keeps horses lives next to the Dunhill smoker.
The German smokes Prince.
The Norwegian lives next to the house with blue walls.
The Blend smoker has a neighbor who drinks water.
The question is this: One of the house owners keeps fish, who is it?

... it’s the Norwegian who lives in the first house with yellow walls, drinks water and smokes Dunhill that owns the fish
