There are 5 houses, each is a different colour
In each house lives a person of a different nationality.
These 5 owners all drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.
No owner has the same pet, smokes the same brand of cigar or drinks the same drink as another owner.
1: The Briton 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 (they are also next door to each other)
5: The green house owner drinks coffee
6: The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds
7: The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill
8: The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk
9: The Norwegian lives in the first house
10: The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats
11: The man who keeps horses lives next to the man 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 is: WHO KEEPS FISH?

I think the whole thing is a trick to make the point that if you begin an endeavor with unwarrented assumptions, your experiment, no matter how flawlessly executed, will yield no meaningful results. The puzzle never mentions that anyone keeps fish. And since cats and dogs are both members of the same family of mammals, that leaves open the possibility that the unmentioned type of pet could be any species of mammal, bird, fish, insect or whatever. You can spend all day creating nice graphs, but it's all a waste of time, because the answer is that there is no answer.
Ha!
Hey cool one... I got the answer in 10 minutes..
Cool!!!
