Based on the clues provided, here is the breakdown of the suit colors:
- Mr. Blue is wearing the Red suit.
- Mr. Red is wearing the Green suit.
- Mr. Green is wearing the Blue suit.
Logical Breakdown:
- "Not one of us is wearing a suit that matches our names": Mr. Blue, Mr. Red, and Mr. Green are not wearing Blue, Red, or Green suits, respectively.
- The Man in the Blue Suit: Since the man in the blue suit said this, he cannot be wearing the blue suit, nor can he be named Mr. Blue. Wait, the riddle says "said the man in the blue suit". This simply means the person wearing the blue suit (who is not Mr. Blue) is speaking.
- Applying the constraints:
- Mr. Blue cannot wear Blue.
- Mr. Red cannot wear Red.
- Mr. Green cannot wear Green.
- Mr. Red's observation: Mr. Red sees Mr. Blue and Mr. Green. If Mr. Red is wearing Green, then Mr. Green must be wearing Blue (since he can't wear green), and Mr. Blue must be wearing Red (since he can't wear blue).
Therefore, Mr. Green is wearing Blue, Mr. Red is wearing Green, and Mr. Blue is wearing Red.
At a local bar, three friends, Mr. Green, Mr. Red, and Mr. Blue, were having a drink. One man was wearing a red suit; one a green suit; and the other a blue suit. "Have you noticed," said the man in the blue suit, "that although our suits have colors corresponding to our names, not one of us is wearing a suit that matches our names?" Mr. Red looked at the other two and said, "You're absolutely correct." What color suit is each man wearing?
