True blue

True blue
FRASER SIMPSON, THE NOUN PROJECT

This logic puzzle for adults will stump even the most astute solvers! Daniel, Emily, Marciano and Christina are all wearing solid-coloured shirts. Their shirts are red, yellow, green and blue. Only the person wearing blue tells the truth, while the other three lie. They make the following statements:

Daniel: “Marciano is wearing red.”

Emily: “Daniel is not wearing yellow.”

Marciano: “Emily is wearing blue.”

Christina: “I will wear blue tomorrow.”

Can you determine each person’s shirt colour, and whether we can expect to see Christina in blue tomorrow?

 

Answer: Daniel is wearing yellow, Emily is in red, Marciano is in green, and Christina is in blue. Christina will wear a blue shirt again tomorrow.

Their names are six letters long and anagrams of one another.

Their names include both of their parents’ initials, but none of the other letters in their parents’ first names.

Answer: Arnold, Roland and Ronald.
