Is Firemouse answer correct? I got the same result, though it took me about 20 minutes to organize the data.....that is why I need to confirm if I am part of that 2%..

Maybe I'm late but I have the answer, too. It took me about 30 minutes to solve.
The fourth man has the Fish. He's German. He smokes Prince and drinks coffee.
Woodward wrote:Einstein wrote this riddle last century and said that 98% of the world’s population would not be able to solve it. • There are 5 houses that are each a different colour. • There is a person of a different nationality in each house. • The 5 owners drink a certain drink. They each smoke a certain brand of cigarettes and also have a certain pet. No owner has the same pet, smokes the same brand of cigarettes nor drinks the same drink. • The question is. “Who has the fish?” CLUES 1. The British man lives in the red house. 2. The Swedish man has a dog for a pet. 3. The Danish man drinks tea. 4. The green house is to the left of the white house. 5. The owner of the green house drinks coffee. 6. The person that smokes Pall Mall has a bird. 7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill. 8. The person that lives in the middle house drinks milk. 9. The Norwegian lives in the first house. 10. The person that smokes Blend, lives next to the one that has a cat. 11. The person that has a horse lives next to the one that smokes Dunhill. 12. The one that smokes Bluemaster drinks beer. 13. The German smokes Prince. 14. The Norwegian lives next to a blue house. 15. The person that smokes Blend, has a neighbour that drinks water. GOOD LUCK!!! If you read below you will see the answer (so don't read below until you've tried!)
its quite easy when u have a piece of paper and a pen. but the wat Einstein done it was alot different.all i did was draw 5 houses and went though it putting the right things in the right catorgory. i hope i was right. it was worded different to the one i was given by a friend. i had wat they ate instead of brands of cigarettes.
What is the trick? I mean, I worked it all out and I think I did it, but you guys make it sound so easy. Maybe I was being too blind and totally just missed it? What's the catch? Oooh this is going to drive me bananas. Anyone want to email me the answer, or what they did that led them to it so easy? I'd just like to know...my email is abuley@hotmail.com
Thanks guys!
I got the same answer but I figured out the fish before I had determined all the rest of the parts.
I don't know how anyone else did it but I just put the words in Paint and moved them around.
