Only 98% of people can solve this within an hour...

Here's a little challenge for you.

Written by Mr. A. Einstein. He said that 98% were not able to solve it in less than an hour.

Facts:
a) There are 5 different houses, each of a different colour.
b) In each house lives one person, each of a different nationality.
c) Each person drinks a different drink, writes with a different instrument, and has a different animal for a pet.

Clues:
1.- The English lives in the red house.
2.- The Swedish has dogs.
3.- The Danish drinks tea.
4.- The green house is on the left side of the white house.
5.- The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
6.- The person that writes with Ticonderoga's # 2, has birds.
7.- The owner of the yellow house writes with Vinci crayons.
8.- The man that lives in the house located in the centre drinks milk.
9.- The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10.- The man that writes with Mapita colours, lives next to the one who has cats.
11.- The man that has horses lives next to the man who writes with Vinci crayons.
12.- The man who writes with Metrico pencils, drinks beer.
13.- The German writes with Dixon markers.
14.- The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15.- The man who writes with Mapita colours, has a neighbour that drinks water.

Question:
Who has the fish for pet?

For your reference it took me two goes and a total time of about 40 minutes...

Have fun!
