  • The 3rd place winner didn't roller skate (clue 1) so he danced and the 1st place winner was the roller skater.
  • John doesn't own Buzzsaw (clue 7) Buzzsaw lives with a male (clue 6) so Walter owns Buzzsaw.
  • Mickey didn't own Poquito or Skye (clue 4), so Mickey owns Cracker.
  • The roller skater wasn't Diana's bird (clue 1), Walter's bird (clue 2), Cracker (clue 3)who is Mickey's bird, so the roller skating bird was owned by John.

  • Neither Diana's bird Skye nor Walter's bird played basketball (clue 2) so Mickey's bird did.
