On a street there are 5 houses painted with 5 different colors. Occupant of each house has a different nationality, drinks a different beverage, smokes a different brand of cigarettes and keeps a different pet.

THE QUESTION : WHO OWNS THE FISH?

    Hints

  1. The Brit lives in a red house
  2. The Swede has a dog
  3. The Dane drinks tea
  4. The Green house is on the left (adjacent) of the White house
