... but there's no evidence for that. The puzzle originally had folks smoking cigarettes. Yuck. I've changed that to eating candy.
The situation:
- There are 5 houses in five different colors.
- In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
- These five people drink a certain beverage, eat a certain candy, and keep a certain pet.
- No one has the same pet, eats the same kind of candy, or drinks the same beverage.
The question is: Who owns the fish?
Hints:
- the Brit lives in the red house
- the Swede has a dog
- 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 snarfs M&Ms has birds
- the owner of the yellow house loves peanut butter cups
- the person living in the center house drinks milk
- the Norwegian lives in the first house
- the person who adores Heath bars lives next to the one who keeps cats
- the person who has a horse lives next to the peanut butter cup lover
- the person who eats Snickers bars drinks beer
- the German eats Almond Joys
- the Norwegian lives next to the blue house
- the person who eats Heath bars has a neighbor who drinks water
[There is one thing that's unclear: Is "the first house" the one on the left of the bunch? I assumed that. Apparently, you can assume that it's on the right end, and according to Wikipedia, you'll get the same answer. I haven't explored that.]
