Three friends—Kai, Liam, and Maya—wear different colored hats: red, blue, and green. Kai does not wear red. Liam is wearing the color of the clear summer sky. Maya is not wearing green. If Maya's hat is not blue either, who wears the red hat?
Maya.
Liam wears blue (summer sky). Maya cannot wear green or blue, so Maya must wear red. This leaves Kai to wear green.
