Mr. Brown, Mr. White, and Mr. Red are together in an office.

The three men are wearing ties that are the colors of their last names, although no man's tie matches his name.

Mr. Brown asks the man with the white tie if he likes red, but cannot hear the answer.

What is the color of each man's tie?

Mr. Brown does not wear a brown or white tie. Therefore it has to be red. Mr. White's tie can't be white, so it must be brown.

That leaves Mr. Red with the white tie.
