My wife is a Native speaker from Oz who teaches English in a private language school here in Germany. As a lesson she found the following quiz which she'll take to classes tomorrow. I have to admit, I'm just toooooo tired and lazy to think, as I just got home from swimming practice (good excuse, isn't it?) ....can anyone else solve the quiz ? here it goes:

Who goes fishing?

Facts

- there are 5 houses of 5 different colors: blue, green, red, white, yellow

- in each house lives a person of a different nationality: American, Australian, British, Canadian, Irish

It's simple really. The Australian.
The American is too lazy.
The British man thinks it's below him.
If the Canadian did it, it would be called ice fishing.
And the Irish man might do it, but he'd be to drunk to remember it in the morning
