ok...you ready a prison, the warden gets 3 inmates, puts them in a cell with 5 hats, 3 white, 2 black. he blindfolds all of them, and puts a hat on each one. . puts the second guy behind the first, the third guy behind the second. the blindfolds come off. Here is the question, the warden tells them if they can figure out what color hat they are wearing, and they have to state how they came to the answer of how they are wearing that hat they can go free, if they guess they have to go to the gas chamber. The third guy can see the backs of the first and second. the second guy can see the back of the first, and the first can see no one. The last guy, (sees the first and second) says he can't tell what hat he is wearing.The second (guy in the middle) says he can't tell what he is wearing, But, the first guy not only tells what hat he is wearing, but how he concluded the answer.
the key isn't just to guess what color he has on, but how you achieved the answer. by the way if they guess and guess wrong, they go to the gas chamber. this is a fabulous puzzle.
