Einstein's riddle

The situation

There are 5 houses in five different colors.
In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
These five 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 or drink the same beverage.
The question is: Who owns the fish?

the green house's owner drinks coffee
the person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds
the owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill

The German


I went through using images, to using a chart that showed connections, to this. I failed hard. It took me at least an hour.
Also note that 2 is the last house number left, but the brit would have to be blue then... Right?

Though, honestly, it felt like the German would have it.

Correct. How long did it take you?
like 15 minutes
I did it while eating breakfast
I mostly focused on who didn't have what so i could knock the pets out of the way faster
