The warden then blindfolds them and puts a hat on each of them and explains to them the rules:
-5 hats in a box...3 red, 2 blue...
-hats are chosen at random and placed randomly on each of their heads
-the prisoners face the wall at all times
-again, C can see B's hat and A's hat....B can see A's hat...A can't see anything
-prisoners cant see their own hat
-If the prisoners can guss wat color hat they are wearing, they are free
-If they guess wrong then +10 more years to their sentence
