brainteaser


the shitz

Recommended Posts

ok. This guy asks me this brainteaser and its really driving me crazy.

 

i search on teh net and it seems to be a knock off of another riddle but finding the solution to that riddle doesnt help in this one.

 

ok

 

the KGB want to know how smart the CIA is. So they kidnap 3 CIA scientists and bring them to some unknown place that doesnt matter.

 

They place 5 hats on a table. 3 white hats and 2 blackhats.

 

They place 1 white hat on one guy, 1 white one on another guy, and a black one on the last guy.

 

They do not see what hats are left and they cannot see what hat they have on. They are placed in a room and each are in a corner, But they can see what hats the others are wearing.

 

This room has 2 doors and they must each go through the door that corresponds to their hat. Or they die. So for the first 5 minutes all 3 of them are confused.

 

But 1 guy walks up with 100% confidence and walks out the door. The 2nd guy stands up and walks out the door with 100% confidence. So does the 3rd. They all live.

 

I NEED TO KNOW THE ANSWER DAMNIETN DEFNONFF.

 

 

it has something to do with the 5 minutes also. its all logic. also i need to know!!!

 

 

edit* forgot to add they cannot talk to eachother in any way

dont know the answer to that but it sure looks like it'll be something silly... but i ran across a brain teaser on this one site back in the day that really makes you do some paperwork here......

 

There are 5 houses in five different colors. In each house lives a

person with a different nationality . These five owners drink a certain

drink, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet no owners

have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same

drink.

The question is --- who owns the fish?

 

1) The Brit lives in the red house.

2) The Swede keeps dogs as pets

3) The Dane drinks tea.

4) The green house is on the left of the white house.

5) The green house owner drinks coffee.

6) The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.

7) The owner of the yellow house smokes dunhill.

8) The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk.

9) The Norwegian lives in the first house.

10) The man who smokes blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.

11) The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who smokes dunhill.

12) The owner who smokes bluemaster drinks beer.

13) The German smokes prince.

14) The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.

15) The man who smokes blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

Yeah, I don't think you were told all of it...

but Fugazi pretty much nailed it. One guy will

be wearing a black hat and see the other two

white hats in that situation. In the original joke

they're all standing in a line so they can only

see the person in front of them, the guy in the

frong having no idea, but I don't remember

exactly how the whole thing went.

I changed what I wrote because if you go back and read it there are only two doors... if there were three doors it would work, but with two doors... it's a can of worms.
