Four friends named Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow each wear a shirt matching one of those four colors. No person wears a shirt matching their own name. Green wears the Red shirt, and Yellow wears the Green shirt. What shirt is Red wearing?
The Blue shirt
The available shirts are Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. Green wears Red, and Yellow wears Green. The remaining shirts are Blue and Yellow, and the remaining people are Red and Blue. Since Blue cannot wear the shirt matching their own name (Blue shirt), Blue must wear the Yellow shirt. That leaves the Blue shirt for Red.
