Hat & Get out
Written on 12:16 am by Vja Students
Three convicts are brought into the warden's office. He says he can parole one of them and to decide which one he will parole he takes out 5 hats (3 red and 2 white). He stands behind them and places a hat on each one of their heads and puts the other two remaining hats in a drawer. He tells the prisoners they can look at the others hats and if they can tell which hat they have on they will be the one who is paroled. The first man looks at the other two and says, "I don't know." The second man looks at the others hats and says, "I don't know." The third man who is blind says, "Even though I have not the gift of sight I can tell by what the others have said that the color of my hat is..." What color is the blind mans hat and how does he know?
Answer:: The color of blind man's hat is Red.
The color of the blindman's hat is "red"
1st man is unable to say whats the color of his hat ,i.e., the hats he see are may be both red or red and white.
the possibilities are
r r r
r w r
r r w
w r r
w w r
w r w
nd the second one can say the ans if sees a white hat on the third ones head(see frm the possibilities then his hat would be red)
so obviously the third one got a red hat
red......the fact that both the 1st and 2nd said they dont know means that both of them saw the same colour hats on the remaining two persons.its only possible if all three wear the same color and it has to be red...
