Riddle NB

[Sybarite]

Here's one devised by Einstein :

Five men of five different nationalities live in five houses of five different colours. They smoke cigarettes of five different brands and drink five different drinks. Each has a different pet.

The Irishman lives in the first house.
The Englishman lives in the red house.
The green house is situated to the left of the white house.
The Scotsman drinks tea.
The one who smokes Rothmans lives beside the one who has a cat.
The one in the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
The German smokes Marlboros.
The one in the middle house drinks milk.
The one smoking Rothmans has a neighbour who drinks water.
The one smoking Pall Mall has a bird.
The Frenchman has a dog.
The Irishman lives beside the blue house.
The one with a horse lives beside the yellow house.
The one smoking Philip Morris drinks beer.
Coffee is drunk in the green house.

Who has the fish?

John.
