Three friends—Alex, Blake, and Casey—wear hats of different colors: red, blue, and green. None of them wears the hat that matches their initials (e.g., Alex does not wear red). Blake looks at Casey, who is wearing the green hat. What color hat is Alex wearing?
Blue
Casey wears green. Blake cannot wear blue (initial B). Therefore, Blake must wear red. Since Blake wears red and Casey wears green, Alex must wear the remaining color, which is blue.
