Brain Teasers
Shady Ladies
Miss White, Miss Black, and Miss Gray are out for a stroll together. One is dressed in white, one in black, and one in gray. "Isn't it odd," says Miss Gray, "that our dresses match our last names, but no one of us is wearing a dress that matches her own name?"
"So what?" said the lady in black.
Give the color of each lady's dress.
"So what?" said the lady in black.
Give the color of each lady's dress.
Answer
Miss Gray's dress cannot match her name, so it must be white or black. Since the lady in black responded to Miss Gray's comment, Miss Gray must be wearing white. This leaves Miss Black wearing gray (since the only choices left for her are black and gray) and therefore Miss White is wearing black.Hide Answer Show Answer
