THE QUESTION IS….WHO KEEPS FISH?

There is no trick to this – it needs deductive reasoning and definitely a pen and paper.

Answer

Nationality  Beverage  Cigar       Pet   House Color
------------------------------------------------------
Norwegian    Water     Dunhill     Cat     Yellow
Dane         Tea       Blend       Horses  Blue
Brit         Milk      Pall Mall   Bird    Red
German       Coffee    Prince      Fish    Green
Swede        Beer      Blue Master Dog     White

Therefore the answer is the German.

I wonder if U could work it out by realizing that Einstien was a german and kept fish but that would probably be cheating

There is one more possible answer, if we remove “immediate” from the Hint 4 i.e. read it as “The green house is on the left of the white house, not necessarily on the immediate left”

Nationality  Beverage  Cigar       Pet   House Color
------------------------------------------------------
Norwegian    Coffee    Blend       Fish    Green
German       Water     Prince      Cats    Blue
Swede        Milk      Dunhill     Dogs    Yellow
Brit         Beer      Blue Master Horses  Red
Dane         Tea       Pall Mall   Birds   White

Thus, either German or Norwegian keeps the Fish, if the green house is not necessarily on the immediate left of the white house.
