  1. I took 11mins using the excel method.

    House - Green, Blue, Red, White, Yellow
    Pet - Dog, Bird, Fish, Hamster, Cat
    Plays - Golf, Chess, Tennis, Bowling, Badminton
    Beverage - Milk, Water, Coffee, Tea, Beer
    Occupation - Lawyer, Teacher, Salesman, Accountant, Doctor

    Therefore, the Doctor drinks Beer. Btw, there's a little typo in your question. It should not be "smokes a different brand of cigarette" but rather "plays a different sport".
