Leisure Time
Four residents of Puzzlaria, DualAspect, Ross, Curtis, and Ragknot, spend their Saturdays in leisure activites each one loves. The activities are:
boating
music
reading
golf
Each of the four residents spends a different amount of time in their preferred activity.
1. Neither DualAspect nor Curtis plays golf, or is the one who spends 3/4 of the day Saturday in leisure interests.
2. The one who spends 3/5 of Saturday in leisure interests does not like boating.
3. The one who spends .9 of his day Saturday in leisure does not enjoy boating or music.
4. Ragknot does not play golf, nor does DualAspect enjoy reading.
5. The one who enjoys boating is not the one who spends half of the day Saturday in leisure interests.
6. Ross does not spend .9 of his Saturday in leisure interests.
7. The golfer does not spend half of his Saturday in leisure interests.
Which of the Puzzlarians mentioned, enjoy which leisure activity? ... and how much time do they devote to it?

Hey Zaux,
Next time I star in one of your puzzles can I have a more dynamic pastime please; maybe paragliding or lion taming perhaps?
Dual ...
would you feel better knowing the music is some major cool rock and blues?
oh, by the way, your solution is correct ... but I suspect you knew that :)
Golf, huh?
The truth is I spend 99/100 of my Saturdays sleeping ...
