The problem isn't too difficult if you lay the information out (viz., in a grid) and fill in information and eliminate possibilities.

My answer was the same as everyone's except the original poster:

Norwegian : house 1 - yellow - water- hockey - cats
Dane : house 2 - blue - tea - baseball - horses
Brit : house 3 - red - milk - polo - birds
German : house 4 - green - coffee - soccer - ?
Swede : house 5 - white - beer - billiards - dogs

The German owns the fish.


To the poster above, the Crocodile puzzle is much easier as the information does not leave any logic gaps that you have to fill yourself.

I really enjoyed both puzzles, especially since I haven't really done much in the way of math since high school--10 years ago.:P
