The Answer is...

Your answer 'german' to the question seems to match the correct answer pattern. Well done!!

The full answer is as follows:

The german owns the fish. The explanation is long and involved. Just be patient and do the substitutions carefully.

Use the following grid. You can fill in house 3 drinks milk and the Norwegian is in house 1. Since the Norwegian lives next to the blue house, then house 2 is blue. Since the Dane drinks tea, he cannot be in house 1 or 3 so must be in 2, 4, or 5. Since the green house is to the left of the white house, and house 2 is blue we know that house 3 or 4 is green and 4 or 5 is white.

Keep on substituting in the evidence until it fits.

After you do all of the substitutions, you will notice that there is just one place where water can go. Then if you work it out some more, everyone has a pet except one person. They have the fish.
