I am definitely in the 98% of non-knowers. I went to Chan’s link which only made me more confused. Even the answer confused me. In fact, two protagonists and houses and pets probably still would have confused me. I can only cope with the “a guy in a house has a pet that is a fish. Does he have a fish?” hehe.
