Einstein's riddle

The situation

There are 5 houses in five different colors.
In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
These five 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.
The question is: Who owns the fish?

Hints

the Swede keeps dogs as pets
the Dane drinks tea
the green house is on the left of the white house
the green house's owner 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 blends lives next to the one who keeps cats
the man who keeps horses 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
Einstein wrote this riddle this century. He said that 98% of the world could not solve it.

    I got the right answer, but I feel that the the Green-White House rule needs to say, "The Green House is on the immediate left of the White House." The way it is written now can be interpreted as the Green House just needs to simply come before the White House.

    I thought so too but i think its almost like those very subtle LR questions bc it says "the green house is on the left of the white house" if it said its TO the left then you could look at it as anywhere on the left, but he said, the green house is ON the left, i think that was his way of making it subtle that its immediately to its like like me saying, youre on my life as oppose to youre to my life. it was still a cool riddle, not sure how true it is that its Einsteins riddle butfor anyone that does any LSAT studying its a LG.

    True; I just assumed it was but it would have been better to state immediate left...

    Hey! I haven't started studying LG yet (waiting to get my summer plans before purchasing a course), but I had a lot of fun doing this. How would you rate this as a LG board? Would this be considered an "easy" set up?

    Got it. That was fun.

    @"kimberlee.mcmillin" to be honest, I wouldn't draw a comparison between this game and LSAT LG. This isn't timed and there are no answer choices. But it does draw on the many of same skills needed for LG. I would say, however, that if you were able to solve without too much trouble and you haven't done at LG, then you will be in GREAT shape for LSAT LG. : )
