Haha, problem solving and math were my forte till I walked out of the SAT's last year, then I stopped getting better after that.

Nope, but that would have worked too probably. I just started at the top, even made a little drawing on a post-it on my desk. lol

CarbonIS · 05-09-2007, 12:08 PM

because there could of been two reds or two whites so by just looking at the first guy wouldnt determine anything.

except...

"The hat combinations can either be 2 red hats and 1 white hat, or 2 white hats and 1 red hat. The hats can be arranged in any order."

CarbonIS · 05-09-2007, 12:10 PM

right, but if the first guy was wearing the color of only 1 option, then he would have known, there is no stipulation to say that that wasn't the case. That's how riddles work.

my post-it says:

R->
W-> <--- all crossed out
W->

then...

W->
R-> <---with a weird attempt at a circle around it
W->

If the highest saw two of the same colors he would have known he was the opposite, but since he did not, he did not yell anything.

Therefore the middle saw the color of the lower, and could assume he was the opposite after giving the highest some time to answer.

work from the top to the bottom

we have a winner!

"If a rooster lays an egg on a pointed roof, which way does it fall?"

there was no "rule" about taking the hat off your head. So he coulda just done that.
Which for some reason reminds me, if someone puts a plastic bag over your head to suffocate you, why do people always try and take it off instead of ripping it open...hmmm?
