three prisoners
there are three prisoners one can see fine one can see out of one eye and one is totally blind and the king tells them that he has five hats three white and two red. he’s going to put three of the five hats on each of there heads and they each have to make an educated answer as to which hat they r wearing and if they just guess at it they will be killed.. the man who could see said he chose not to answer the man with one eye said the same thing. the king wasnt going to make the blind man answer but the blind man said i do no need me eyes to know what hat is on my head just by the others answers i know that my hat is surely…… what color is the blind mans hat??
Discussion
If the previous commenters have got the right answer then the problem statement needs to be modified to mention that…
1. The prisoners couldn’t just look upwards and see the color of their hats
2. The prisoners could see the remaining hats (that were not on anybody’s head)
White..
