The Four Golfers Riddle

Four golfers named Mr. Black, Mr. White, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Blue were competing in a tournament. The caddy didn’t know their names, so he asked them. One of them, Mr. Brown, told a lie.

  • 1st golfer: “The 2nd golfer is Mr. Black.”
  • 2nd golfer: “I am not Mr. Blue!”
  • 3rd golfer: “Mr. White? That’s the 4th golfer.”
  • 4th golfer: Silent.

Which golfer is Mr. Blue?

The 3rd golfer is Mr. Blue.

Mr. Brown is the liar.

  • The 1st golfer’s statement (“The 2nd golfer is Mr. Black”) is true. The 2nd golfer is Mr. Black.
  • The 2nd golfer’s statement (“I am not Mr. Blue!”) is true, meaning the 2nd golfer is not Mr. Blue.
  • The 3rd golfer’s statement (“Mr. White? That’s the 4th golfer.”) is false, so the 4th golfer is not Mr. White.
    Thus, the 3rd golfer must be Mr. Blue.
