Sorry guys, missed out an important part of this the first time round, which is why nobody's head was hurting and everybody thought they had it.
Three men are blindfolded, and each has a hat placed on his head. They are led into a room, where they are told that they are all wearing either a black or white hat, and that they must raise their hands when they can see a white hat, and drop their hands when they know what colour their own hat is. The blindfolds are removed, and they all put up their hands. After a couple of minutes, one man drops his hand and says "My hat is white." How did he know?
FAQs
No, there are no mirrors.
No, he didn't ask one of the others.
No, he can't see his own hat.
They only have to see one white hat to raise their hands... If he was wearing a black hat, each of the others would still see a white hat on the third man.
And he has his hand up, so he must be seeing at least one white hat.
...And he sees two white hats in front of him.
