Who owns the fish?

[FATPad]

According the info I was given this puzzle is attributed to Albert Einstein and that 98% of the people in the world could not figure it out. (Very odd since there is a 20% chance of guessing right, but I'll assume he meant people who did not know would say that instead of guessing).

Anyways, it took me a bit over an hour.

You can either look the answer up online (if you're impatient) or I'll post the answer later tonight if anyone is interested.

There are 5 houses in 5 different colors.
In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet smoke the same brand of cigar of drink the same beverage.
