Can anyone solve this?

Einstein supposedly wrote this riddle and said 98% of the world could not solve it...

There are 5 houses painted in different colours in a row on a street. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners each drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, nor drink the same beverage.

Hints:
The Brit lives in the red house.

The Sweed keeps dogs as pets.

The Dane drinks tea.

The green house is on the left of the white house.

The green house's owner drinks coffee.

The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.

The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.

The person living in the center house drinks milk.

The Norwegian lives in the leftmost house.

The person who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.

The person who keeps the horse lives next to the person who smokes Dunhill.

The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.

The German smokes Prince.

The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.

The person who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.


The person from what nationality owns the fish?________________
