Eh, it doesn't matter anyways, I'm actually glad you posted the answer before I PM'ed you 'cause my explanation of how I found out it was the German guy was like 3 paragraphs long, and it repeated lots of crap over and over, and it sort of made me sound like I was a crazy idiot.
Anyways, got any more quizes like this one, Loud?
Well we all think you're a crazy idiot anyway (: But we still like yah!
No, I don't come across good puzzles very often. When I do though, I'll be sure and post them in a new thread.

Loudmusic, can you post an explanation of how you got the answer?? It's bothering me, I need to know how you got the answer.

Get out a sheet of paper and draw a grid five columns wide and six rows tall. In the first row number 1 through 5, the rest of the rows are designated for each of the other attributes: nationality, color, drink, smoke, and pet.
Now, there are two clues that are absolutes - the Norwegian lives at house 1, and the dude in the middle drinks milk. Then you go through the rest of the clues and use your deductive reasoning skills to decide where everything else fits. I took each clue and made a mini-grid and figured out which columns they *could* fit in, and cross-referanced in-order to eliminate bad options. From there I only had one instance where I had to use trial and error to see who fit where. Problem solving skills ... we learned how to do this in junior high, remember?
Deductive reasoning, my dear Saleen Man (:
The Brit lives in a red house
The Swede keeps dogs as pets
The Dane drinks tea
The green house is on the left of the white house
The green house owner drinks coffee
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill
The man living in the house right in the middle drinks milk
The Norwegian lives in the first house
The man who smokes Blend lives next door to the one who keeps cats.
The man who keeps horses lives next door to the man who smokes Dunhill
The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer
The German smokes Prince
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water

Ha ha ha ... TA-DOW! Lazy BRIT! (:
Seriously though dude, it only takes a few minutes to figure it out. Stop working your thumbs on a controller and work your brain for a bit. It's good for you and you'll have a higher level of satisfaction when you're done.
