Hats



Difficulty: Hard



You are taking a walk through the forest, when you fall into a large pit. You land and see the eccentric old man again (see three dots ).

"I have another challenge for you," He says. He opens up a trap door and climbs down a ladder. He leads you through a hallway into a large room. You see two people, maybe even the same ones as in Three Dots. There are three chairs, all facing the same direction, one behind the other. The people are tied in their chairs and blindfolded. The old man ties you up and blind folds you as well. Then he says, "Here is the challenge. I have two red hats and three green ones. I am going to put a hat on each of you. You must tell me which color hat you have on."

The man puts a hat on you and takes the blindfold off. You are positioned so that the last person can see the front two, the middle person can see you, and you can't see anyone.

After a long pause, you speak up. "Sir, I know what color hat I have." What color hat do you have and why?
