different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the centre house drinks milk.

I think that Einstein lived in the early 20th century or late 19th at most. If it was early in the 19th century, i would like to get my hands on whatever he was drinking.
