Uncle Ray had the lemon tea. Sam (crumbs on his hoodie) is off fizzy drinks, so he had the cocoa, and clue 4 puts him on the rug. Now clue 5: who is tallest?

This shows the full answer. Sure?

Yes, show me

Mrs. Park (armchair, cola). Uncle Ray wears slippers, so he had the tea with lemon (2). Sam has crumbs on his hoodie and is off fizzy drinks (3), so Sam had the cocoa and Mrs. Park the cola. The cocoa was spilled on the new rug, by someone sitting on it (4): Sam was on the rug. The tallest suspect, Ray, avoids the armchair (5), so Ray was on the sofa and Mrs. Park was in the armchair, where the remote lives (1).

Every answer is also printed at the back of the book, with its page number.
