Here's A Tough One For Experts by rexbuton: 3:58pm On Oct 18, 2015 |
A king wants his daughter to marry the
smartest of 3 extremely intelligent young
princes, and so the king's wise men devised an
intelligence test.
The princes are gathered into a room and
seated, facing one another, and are shown 2
black hats and 3 white hats. They are
blindfolded, and 1 hat is placed on each of their
heads, with the remaining hats hidden in a
different room.
The king tells them that the first prince to
deduce the color of his hat without removing it
or looking at it will marry his daughter. A
wrong guess will mean death. The blindfolds
are then removed.
You are one of the princes. You see 2 white
hats on the other prince's heads. After some
time you realize that the other prince's are
unable to deduce the color of their hat, or are
unwilling to guess. What color is your hat?
Note: You know that your competitors are very
intelligent and want nothing more than to marry
the princess. You also know that the king is a
man of his word, and he has said that the test
is a fair test of intelligence and bravery. |

A white hat. Reason: Since the other princes couldn't tell what they had on, they're most likely not seeing two black hats on the others. |

I will take a white hat. Since 2 are on the others heads, the third should be on my head. My conclusion is that the the king will like the princes to wear white hats, signifying purity. |
