This brainteaser can be solved by combining deduction, analysis and shear persistence. The essential facts are as follow :
There are 5 houses, each with a front door of a different colour, inhabited by different people of different nationalities, with different pets and drinks. Each person eats a different kind of food.
1. The Australian lives in the house with the red door.
2. The Italian owns the dog.
3. Coffee is drunk in the house with the green door.
4. The Ukranian drinks tea.
5. The house with the green door is immediately to the right ( your right) of the house with the ivory door.
6. The mushroom eater owns snails.
7. Apples are eaten in the house with the yellow door.
8. Milk is drunk in the middle house.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house on the left.
10. The person who eats onions lives in the house next to the person with the fox.
11. Apples are eaten in the house next to the house where the horse is kept.
12. The cake eater drinks orange juice.
13. The Japanese eats bananas.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the house with the blue door.

Now, who drinks water and owns the zebra ?
Got 8 of the 14 but hit a brick wall now
Edit: think I've worked it out.
Water- Norwegian Zebra- Japanese
Highlight to see the answers, so I won't spoil it for anyone if im right
Thank God, I was on a role and ended up getting real annoyed when I had 6 of the 14 left to solve. I started to trial and error one senario and then all of a sudden it hit me, and I sorted it all out
