Now for the part that gets tricky I havent seen anything on any of the theories i have on this riddle or why i had the answer in a nanosecond or how i came up with such a simple way to view this riddle , all i can do is first give you the hints that were obvious to me and not given then i will give you the answer i had pop into my head instantly and the graph of how to prove out your answer so that everyone has the correct house smoke drink and pet so here we go ready for some thought process provided for you by the mind of a teamster....yes im not a genius hell i didnt even go to college but i do score in the 130's on iq tests regularly so follow me here, Einstein was quoted as saying he wasnt favorable to teaching for any length of time he thought it would hinder your ability to have free thoughts and a mind that can stretch for answers, he felt as i have read that if you spend any length of time being schooled all you have done is trained yourself to a set way of thinking and anything outside of this box you have created will ultimatley hinder you in the ability to be a progressive and adventurous thinker.Using this knowledge of how Einstein viewed thinking i looked at the riddle and tried to do it the way i was taught, with everything starting on my left and working in a line from there, well as soon as you do that the norwegian is in the first house on the left and you are all done, once he is in the wrong spot every clue after that gets put out of order, so me and my wife sat for about 10 minutes and i couldnt get it, things werent lining up. I said "wait the norwegian is in the wrong place he should be all the way to the right" my wife said no hes first and thats when it hit me.He is the first house however the riddle states he is the first house but never on wich side. To visualize this i imagined all of the houses were on a dead end street and all on the same side , with a field across the dead end street from them .Now imagine your standing in the field looking across the street at the houses however , imagine the dead end is to your left and the entrance is to your right, that makes the first house on the street the house all the way to the right and the norwegian owns it, using this idea use the clues from there and you end up with the german having the fish. now i will break this all down for you
starting at the right and working left like i said earlier we will begin
the right hand house is the yellow house with the norwegian and he drinks water smokes dunhills and has cats
the next one is the blue house owned by the dane who drinks tea smokes blends and keeps horses and then the house to his left is the red house owned by the brit who drinks milk smokes pall mall and keeps birds and to his left is the white house owned by the swede drinks beer smokes bluemasters and has dogs and the final house is the green house all the way to the left at the dead end that is owned by the german who drinks coffee smokes prince and has a fish that is how it proves out and ive seen plenty of graphs that are way out of wack and say german has the fish but little things like the brit was in the white house....look in the riddle it states the brit is in the red house...if you cant get this correct then your guessing obviously and well you only cheated yourself, now for the simplest way to get the answer to this riddle and the answer that as soon as i read this riddle the answer wich was german popped into my head and its actually quite simple...Einstein is german and owns a fish.......that was my first thought lol try and prove it out and see what you get.good luck
