I found this puzzle in an example program for a language I downloaded.
Can you write a program (100 lines or less, plz) to solve it?

A small street has five differently colored houses on it. Five men
of different nationalities live in these five houses. Each man has
a different profession, each man likes a different drink, and each
has a different pet animal. We have the following information:
 
The Englishman lives in the red house.
The Spaniard has a dog.
The Japanese is a painter.
The Italian drinks tea.
The Norwegian lives in the first house on the left.
The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
The green house is on the right of the white house.
The sculptor breeds snails.
The diplomat lives in the yellow house.
They drink milk in the middle house.
The Norwegian lives next door to the blue house.
The violinist drinks fruit juice.
The fox is in the house next to the doctor's.
The horse is in the house next to the diplomat's.
 
The question is who has the zebra and who drinks water?

Regards,
Irv
