DJL 235 #1 January 26, 2004 B W B [] W Everyone is looking to the right and cannot see the color of their own hat or the one behind them. [] is a wall, so no one can see that the last person has a white hat and that last person cannot see the other three. Nobody can speak except to say "I have a X colored hat." Who will speak, what will he say? Don't ruin the fun and answer it if you've seen this before."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #2 January 26, 2004 what the hell are four guy with hats doing locked in a room with a partition wal in it. THATS what I wanna know!My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmcd308 0 #3 January 26, 2004 The second person will say "I am wearing a white hat." The second person will know that their hat color is different from the person next to the wall, because if the second person and the person next to the wall were wearing the same color hat, then the first person would have known his hat was the other color.

FrogNog 1 #4 January 26, 2004 Is there some sort of constraint that was left out here? Like, there are only two black hats and two white hats? -=-=-=-=- Pull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #5 January 26, 2004 QuoteIs there some sort of constraint that was left out here? Like, there are only two black hats and two white hats? Yeah....I think you just busted bmcd308. Somehow he got the right answer without all the info. Think he say it before and was pretending he just figured it out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJL 235 #6 January 26, 2004 All of the information is there. Look at my post again. B W B [] W"I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #7 January 26, 2004 I still say there's missing info. There has to be some info regarding the number of hats of different colors. Otherwise any of them could assume they are wearing a purple hat or a hat with leopard spots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJL 235 #8 January 26, 2004 B means black W means white [] means wall"I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #9 January 26, 2004 QuoteB means black W means white [] means wall I figured that out....but since they don't know what color hat they are wearing. And you didn't say that they know that there are only b & w hats (and of a certain number of each), then it's missing info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #11 January 26, 2004 I posted this one before. They know that there are two B and two W hats, just not which one they are wearing. ...

PhillyKev 0 #13 January 26, 2004 QuoteThey know that between them are 4 hats, 2 are black and 2 are white, Yeah...that's the missing part. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmcd308 0 #14 January 26, 2004 I just assumed they knew there were two white and two black. If there was not a finite universe of possiblities there, it would be impossible. Each would be faced with an infinite number of choices. "Uh, am I wearing a purple hat?" ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
