Answer the fun yet challenging riddle below: The world’s rarest fish has been stolen from the city aquarium. The police have followed the scent of the thief to a street with five identical looking houses. But they can’t search all the houses at once, and if they pick the wrong one, the thief will know they’re on his trail. It’s up to you, the city’s best detective, to solve the case.

After a few hours of expert sleuthing, you gather some clues: 1. The Korean lives in the house with red walls. 2. The Japanese has a dog. 3. The French drinks milktea. 4. The house with green walls is directly to the left of the house with white walls. 5. The owner of the house with green walls drinks dalgona. 6. The person who watches anime owns a bird. 7.
