Einstein's Riddle

There is a street with five houses all in a row. Each house has a person with a different name and each house is painted a different colour. Each homeowner drinks a different type of beverage, owns a different type of pet and reads a different type of newspaper.

  • Jez lives in the red house.
  • Liz keeps corgis as pets.
  • Vlad drinks vodka.
  • The green house is on the immediate left of the white house.
  • The green house's owner drinks coffee.
  • The owner who reads the Morning Star keeps a golden eagle.
  • The owner of the purple house reads the Daily Express.
  • The owner living in the centre house drinks milk.
  • Nigel lives in the first house.
  • The owner who reads the Guardian lives next to the one who keeps a tiger.
  • The owner who keeps the stallion lives next to the one who reads the Daily Express.
  • The owner who reads the Times drinks beer.
  • Donald reads the Daily Mail.
  • Nigel lives next to the blue house.
  • The owner who reads the Guardian lives next to the one who drinks green tea.

To solve the riddle, all you need to work out is: Who owns the goldfish?
