Second riddle now. If you get this wrong, you must change your DP to a SLOTH for 3 days. If you get it right, then I'll mention your name at the bottom of this post. PLEASE MESSAGE ME ONLY when answering the riddle. I don't want the answer being given away. Even if you wish to discuss it, please do so in a way that doesn't say what is and/or isn't right/wrong.

Also, please try not to look it up online. It's all for a bit of fun, and I'd genuinely like to see who can figure this out themselves. And as there can only be 5 possible answers, try to show me a bit how you worked it out, and let me know if you are making a complete guess or not, so I can still explain it to you even if you did get it right :)

Here is the riddle: There are 5 houses painted 5 different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. These 5 people each drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. None of them have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage.

The Brit lives in the red house.
The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
The Dane drinks tea.
The green house is on the left of the white house.
The green homeowner drinks coffee.
The person who smokes Pall Mall keeps birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
The man living in the center house drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
The owner who smokes Bluemaster drinks beer.
The German smokes prince.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

Who owns the fish?

GOOD LUCK!  :)

Note: It has been brought to my attention that with this version of the riddle, it is possible to get an alternate answer. So please show the grid of what you ended up getting if you didn't just guess the answer.

This is very difficult to get wrong, hahaha. Either you get the right answer, or do don't get an answer at all (unless you take a guess) :P

Mapping it out is how you derive the answer, kind of like a Sudoku puzzle really.

Although I've already seen this before so there's no point in me answering :P

Remembered the answer from school a few years ago but spent time working the logic to come up with the right answer,  Could not remember all ******* at first but then it started coming back.  For those that have answered they will know ****** so as not to give to much away.

BTW GL has not yet confirmed I am correct but think I am

This is one of countless such logic puzzles.

You would have to be freakishly lucky to has seen this exact one before I reckon.
