It's depend on what do Einstein means by " right in the centre" --> it's the centre house/ or the house right to it. then the answer will be the 4th house/ or the 5th house.

This is a very perplexing and entertaining post.. lol
I have seen this before also... and surprisingly, I have seen normally intelligent and logical people stumble over it, and get involved in lengthy arguments over it...
Great topic.

If you just guess randomly without reading anything you have a 20 percent chance of getting it right, obviously proving more than 2 percent of people will get it correct. Besides, it is pretty damn easy, now half of you idiots think you are some kind of genius.

I got the German as owning the fish along with the
following matches.
Yellow, Norwegian, Water, Dunhill, Cats.
Blue, Dane, Tea, Blends, Horses.
Red, Brit, Milk, Pall Mall, Birds.
Green, German, Coffee, Prince, Fish.
White, Swede, Beer, Blue Master, Dogs.
I had never seen this puzzle before and happened to be going
through my backlog of mail last night and thought it looked simple
enough.
I set up a 5 x 5 matrix of possibilities and went about
using a process of elimination to fill in the matrix. The matrix
that I used included a fish as an optional pet for all of the
homes.
I found it interesting that there is a default assumption that
the homes are not in a circle, which is possible, if the homes
all share a backyard and the road of access circumscribes
the front yards. I think that the only clues that break down
or become ambiguous if this assumption is made are
clues 4,10,11 and 15.
There were several classic second-order inferences to be made such as
Green House and White House clues.
