Einstein's Zebra Puzzle

1) There are five houses.
2) The Englishman lives in the red house.
3) The Spaniard owns the dog.
4) Coffee is drunk in the green house.
5) The Ukrainian drinks tea.
6) The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house.
7) The Old Gold smoker owns snails.
8) Kools are smoked in the yellow house.
9) Milk is drunk in the middle house.
10) The Norwegian lives in the first house.
11) The man who smokes Chesterfields lives in the house next to the man with the fox.
12) Kools are smoked in the house next to the house where the horse is kept.
13) The Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice.
14) The Japanese smokes Parliaments.
15) The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.

Now, who drinks water? Who owns the zebra?

Each of the five houses is painted a different color, the people who live there have different heritages, own different pets, drink different beverages and smoke something different.

I can't say "no" to a good puzzle, even if it is supposed to
be for Stone. In the sport of the OPs rules, I'll post my
answers in white to not spoil the fun for Stone unless he
wants to look. You wouldn't look, would you Stone?

***** STONEBENDER SPOILER ALERT *****

The person who drinks water is the Norwegian in
the first, yellow house with the Kools and fox.

The person who owns the zebra is the Japanese
Parliament smoking, coffee drinking man in the last, green
house.

At least that's what I think . . .

*EDIT* I didn't realize the background is slightly off-white
so as long as you don't look too closely you can keep on
thinking about the puzzle.

Thats the answer I came up with as well. I mapped it out right to left.... but I still had to make a guess as to a few of the positions.
You can actually change a few of the positions and nationalities around, and the answer remains the same.

It is wisest to greet politely those that have better weapons than you do
