The Red, Blue and White Shirt | Puzzle 6

Question

At a restaurant in the city, Mr. Red, Mr. Blue, and Mr. White meet for lunch. Under their coats, they are wearing either a red, blue, or white shirt. 

Mr. Blue observed this and says, 'Hey, did you notice we are all wearing different colored shirts from our names?'. Hearing this,  the man wearing the white shirt says, 'Yes, Mr. Blue, that's right!' 

Can you tell who is wearing what color shirt?

Solution

Mr. Blue - Red Shirt

Mr. White - Blue Shirt

Mr. Red - White Shirt

Mr. Blue could only have the chances of wearing White or Red and we know that there is already someone else wearing the white shirt so Mr. Blue could only be wearing the Red shirt.

Mr. White could have only been wearing a Blue or a Red shirt, and red is already taken, so Mr. White is wearing a Blue shirt.

Mr. Red now has to be wearing a White shirt.
