Three sisters—Clara, Daisy, and Evelyn—wear different colored dresses: Pink, White, and Yellow. Clara is not wearing Pink. The sister in White is older than Daisy. Evelyn is the youngest sister and does not wear Yellow. What dress color is each sister wearing?
Clara wears White, Daisy wears Yellow, and Evelyn wears Pink.
Evelyn is the youngest, so she cannot be the sister in White (who is older than Daisy). Daisy cannot wear White either. Thus, Clara must wear White. Evelyn does not wear Yellow or White, so she wears Pink. This leaves Daisy wearing Yellow.
