1. There are 5 houses in 5 different colours.

1. The Brit lives in a red house
2. The Swede keeps a dog
3. The Dane drinks tea
5. The green house owner drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall keeps birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
12. The owner who smokes Camel drinks beer
13. The German smokes Marlborough.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house

The question is, who keeps the fish?
