Three friends—Amy, Brad, and Chris—each play a different sport: tennis, golf, or soccer. Amy does not play golf. Brad plays neither tennis nor golf. What sport does Chris play?
Golf
Brad plays neither tennis nor golf, so Brad must play soccer. Amy does not play golf, and soccer is already taken by Brad, so Amy must play tennis. This leaves golf for Chris.
