This puzzle was posted on a website & no solutions were provided for it.
I tried hard,but i wasn't able to Solve it.
Lets see if anybody could solve it!
Here is the Actual PUZZLE:
4 criminals are caught and are to be punished. The Judge allows them to be freed if they can solve a puzzle. If they do not, they will be hung. They agreed.
The 4 criminals are lined up on some steps (shown in picture). They are all facing in the same direction. A wall separates the fourth man from the other three.
So to summarize:-
Man 1 can see men 2 and 3.
Man 2 can see man 3.
Man 3 can see none of the others.
Man 4 can see none of the others.
The criminals are wearing hats. They are told that there are two white hats and two black hats. The men initially don't know what colour hat they are wearing. They are told to shout out the color of the hat that they are wearing as soon as they know for certain what colour it is.
They are not allowed to turn round or move.
They are not allowed to talk to each other.
They are not allowed to take their hats off.
Who is the first person to shout out and why?
Axioms for a Great Living(My 10 Hashes):
#Don't compare yourself with any one in this world;If you compare, you are insulting yourself!
#No one will manufacture a lock without a key;Similarly God won't give problems without solutions!
#When life gives you 1000 reasons to cry,show the world that you can still find a million reasons to smile!
#Easy is to judge the mistakes of others;Difficult is to recognize our own mistakes!
#Don't care about what others think of what u do;but care very much about what u think of what u do!
#No one can go back and change a bad beginning;But anyone can start now and create a successful ending!
#If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it;If a problem cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?!
#If you miss an opportunity don't fill the eyes with tears;It will hide another better opportunity in front of you!
#Don't complain about others;Change yourself if you want peace!(It is easier to protect your feet with slippers than to cover the earth with carpet!)
#Be bold when you loose & be calm when you win!
