Well the German owns the fish, because:
-the Norwegian lives in the yellow house, smokes Dunhill, drinks water, and owns cats
-the Dane lives in the blue house, smokes Blends, drinks tea and owns horses
-the Brit lives in the red house, smokes Pall Mall, drinks milk and owns birds
-the German lives in the green house, smokes Prince, drinks coffee and owns (the one left blank so must be) fish
-the Swede lives in the white house, smokes Blue masters, drinks beer and owns dogs.
