Mr. Baker, Mr. Carpenter, Mr. Hunter, and Mr. Walker were a baker, a hunter, a carpenter, and a walker, but not necessarily in that order. They were in the habit of wearing a brown, a charcoal, a heliotrope, and a white shirt.
No man's profession was the same as his name and the color of each man's shirt began with a letter which was different from the initial letter of both his name and his profession.
Mr. Hunter and the professional walker dined together regularly. The hunter never would wear a brown shirt. Mr. Carpenter was the baker.
Find the profession of each man and the color of his shirt.
