Einstein wrote this riddle this century. He said that 98% of the world could not solve it.
Now, if you need some help, i suggest to open a calculus page on excel or draw charts on a paper. 

 Now you fill with the hints you get.
use the 8th and 9th hint to get to this :

Now you fill by bonds another chart.

Then you can make possibilities more vaster bonds like this:
in green what option we actually end up using. And in orange what we don’t use.

 

 

Now here are steps I took  to get to the final answer :

 
1.       House 4 is green because  it can’t be house 3  whose owner drinks milk ( you fill green/coffee-white)
2.       Central house is red because all houses are of different colors. First house is norvegian so can’t be red. (you fill brit-red)
3.       Norwegian house is yellow because it’s the only colour left ( fill yelllow- dunhill)
4.       Now we can use the 11th hint and place horses for the house 2
5.       Using 10thand15th hint. That gave us 2 possibilities. We use this green colored one because in the 2nd one water can’’t be drunk by the central house owner. He drinks milk already. And the cat had to be on the left side
6.       Now we can fill beer and blue master. It can only be the 5th house. Others have already filled one of theses infos.
7.       We use now dane-tea info for the house 2
8.       It appears now that house 4 is German’s one
9.       Birds and Pall Mall are for central house. As others have already cigar’s brand filled in.
10.   Now we complete swede-dog in the 5th house.
11.   Only one box remains unfilled. The German pet one’s.
So the German owns the fish 🙂
