There is another version of this known as Einstein's riddle which works. I don't think this one does because not enough of the facts can be cross-referenced. So is it a trick? Is the answer totally unrelated to the 5 men and their hobbies, food, vehicles and homes? Is the answer in fact....

If all the hints given are true, then this cannot be answered The problem is not a lack of information. The problem is when you work out all the scenarios, the hints themselves contradict each other. Even without solving for 'golf' and 'corvette' the other facts are incompatible with each other.
