    I was looking around on my old school website and found this.....

    Code:
    There are five houses in a row and in five different colours.
    
    In each house lives a person from a different country.
    
    Each person drinks a certain drink, plays a certain sport, and keeps a certain pet.
    
    No two people drink the same drink, play the same sport, or keep the same pet.
    
        * The Brit lives in a red house
        * The Swede keeps dogs
        * The Dane drinks tea
        * The green house is on the left of the white house
        * The green house owner drinks coffee
        * The person who plays polo rears birds
        * The owner of the yellow house plays hockey
        * The man living in the house right in the centre drinks milk
        * The Norwegian lives in the first house
        * The man who plays baseball lives next to the man who keeps cats
        * The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who plays hockey
        * The man who plays billiards drinks beer
        * The German plays soccer
        * The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
        * The man who plays baseball has a neighbour who drinks water.
    
    Who Owns The Fish?
    
    This puzzle is attributed to Albert Einstein. He claimed that 98% of the world could not work it out. Can you?
    
    The thing took me 15mins but I managed it.

    It would have been a lot easier if I had the words on bits of paper which I could move around. I just used a pen and paper.

    I'll give you a clue.... he's European!

    1st house is Norwegian and the Norwegian lives next to the blue house, making house #2 blue...

    (Because the Norwegian lives next to the blue house.)

    Like that, you can live in a house next to another house you know :p

    I've solved it, it's not that hard, I would put a spoiler but that'd cause cheating.
