Sayonara Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 The guy at the back and the guy in the middle will know their hat is black only if they see the white hat in front of them. If the guy at the back sees two black hats, he has the white hat. If the guy in the middle sees a black hat, and does not hear the guy at the back shout after a reasonable period of time, he has the white hat. If the guy at the front hears nothing for a while, he assumes he has the white hat and the others are waiting for him.
Sayonara Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 That puzzle relies on people assuming that silence cannot be a form of communication.
Kingpin1989 Posted December 24, 2004 Posted December 24, 2004 Going back, how's this? The following night 2 men check back in for 15 dollars each. the same situation happens and the bellhop thinks "well, they can't divide 5 dollars between 2 people, so he keeps 3. The men each get a dollar back, so they paid 14 dollars each. 14x2=28+3=31. that's your extra dollar!!!>)

holly_2009 Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 it is either 31 mutilated fish or just 10 as you stated in the begining..
