Three friends—Leo, Mia, and Nora—wear shirts of different colors: Blue, Red, and Yellow. None of them wears a shirt that matches their initial (e.g., Leo does not wear Blue). Mia does not wear Red. What color shirt does Nora wear?
Red
Mia cannot wear Blue (initial) or Red, so Mia must wear Yellow. Leo cannot wear Blue (initial), so Leo must wear Red. That leaves Nora to wear Blue.
