(useless) information

A 26yr old female whose brain is powered by caffeine; without its main fuel source it has a working speed slower than that of a slug. That aside, she wishes she could grow a teeny weeny bit (read: a lot) taller and constantly whines about her weight. Enjoys devising novel ways to traumatise people with her bludders. Oh, and she is rather antisocial.

While surfing around today, I came across this riddle that was supposedly set by Einstein, which I thought was rather interesting:

There are 5 houses in a row in 5 different colours. In each house lives a person of different nationality. Each person drinks a certain beverage, smokes a certain brand of cigarette, and keeps a certain pet. None of them have the same preferred beverage, cigarette or pet.

Clues:
1. The Brit lives in the red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the left of the white house.
5. The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
6. The person smoking Pall Mall keeps birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The owner of the centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The Blends smoker lives next to the cat owner.
11. The Dunhill smoker has a neighbour who keeps horses.
12. The person who smokes Bluemasters also drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The Blends smoker has a neighbour who drinks water.

So, the riddle is - who owns the fish?

Einstein said that 98% of the world's population won't be able to solve this. I'm not sure if it's true, though.
