Reply with your answer please. There are 3 black hats and 2 white hats in a box. Three men (we will call them A, B, & C) each reach into the box and place one of the hats on his own head. They cannot see what color hat they have chosen. The men are situated in a way that A can see the hats on B & C's heads, B can only see the hat on C's head and C cannot see any hats. When A is asked if he knows the color of the hat he is wearing, he says no. When B is asked if he knows the color of the hat he is wearing he says no. When C is asked if he knows the color of the hat he is wearing he says yes and he is correct. What color hat and how can this be?

2 black hats, one white hat, right ?

You are asking in the bag or ?

B&C can not wearing white hats at one time,except this all is ok!

Linda your answer is so confusing... please clearfiy

A wears white hat, B wears white hat and C wears black hat.

I need logic answer please...

there should be some other preconditions

The logic behind it is very simple, but it is time consuming to figure it out. There are no guessings in here, C knows 100% what color his hat was. Give me your best shot at solving this riddle. I rather have you people solve the riddle than telling you the answer. Good luck[em09]

sorry , i am not really understand what is the logic answer . there 2 white hats ,A and B wear them ,C will certain knows he wears a black hat. is it the logic answer? maybe i lost the logic idea in my head .

No guessing.... it has to be 100% and tell us why ( logic )[em09]

Answer: For those of you who is tired of this logic stuff. A must not see two white hats on B & C, or he would know his own must be black.

So his answer establishes that at least one of the hats on B & C is black.

If B saw that C was wearing a white hat, then B would know his own was black.

Since B could not say that truthfully, then C must be wearing black and therefore answers correctly.

i have seen it ,i found i made a mistake.B only can see C's hat and C can see nobody's. i thought them can see each other . well , paste the new subject !

So I go on with the next riddle or more of you still want to work on this one?

it seems only me like this kind of IQ practice [em09] next riddle pls.

Riddle number TWO: CORK, BOTTLE, COIN
If you were to put a coin into an empty bottle and then insert a cork in the bottle's opening, how could you remove the coin without taking out the cork or breaking the bottle?

push the cork into bottle [em07]

This subject means you must get the coin out but not taking out the cork by hand or breaking the bottle ?

it's rather confusing

Sorry about the confusion, but Linda has got the answer already. [em17] Goodjob Linda [em17]
