Question

Mr. Red, Mr. Green, and Mr. Blue were all sitting together 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 own name?"

Mr. Red looked at the other two and said, "You're absolutly correct."

Who is wearing each color suit?

Mr. red Mr.green Mr. blue

green blue red

blue red green

There aren't two possibilities , because

Mr. Red replies with "You are correct". Note the YOU. This means that Mr. Red and the guy with the blue suit are not the same person. And since , as the guy with the blue suit said , they don't wear colors that correspond to their names , then

Mr. Red wears a green suit

Mr. Green wears a blue suit

Mr. Blue wears a red suit
