Alright see if you guys can get this one,
Einstein said that only 2% of the world could solve this problem.
There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage.
Hints:
•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 rears 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?
-
The German who smokes Prince, drinks coffee, has fish as pets, lives in a green house and is next to the last in position.

Yep, I concur.
I recall working this problem back in high school or college. Was fun to see how fast I could solve it again. ;D

This was a tough one. Took a lot of scratching out and starting over but I came up with the same conclusion. Glad there wasn't a time limit!
