There are 6 prisoners and 36 hats of differents colors
(6 red hats, 6 orange, 6 yellow, 6 green, 6 blue, and 6 violet).

Each prisoner gets a hat, which can be any one of those six colors.
The colors of the hats are independent of each other and repetitions
are allowed. For instance, it may happen that all the hats are green.
Each prisoner can see only the colors of the five hats worn by the rest
five prisoners. No prisoner can see the color of his or her own hat.

The prisoners are to guess the colors of their own hats, writing down
their guesses on sheets of paper. No prisoner can see what other prisoners
are writing. No communication between the prisoners is allowed.

If at least one prisoner guesses correctly then all six prisoners go free.

The prisoners are allowed to plan out a strategy in advance,
and they hope to find a strategy which would guarantee them success
for every possible arrangement of hats. Is there such a strategy?
Either find one or show that it cannot exist.

Is it because we are born with a genetic blocker that stop us from using our full brain potential or is it because we can't handle such an enormous task?

As we somehow hit 124% of our target last week.

I however am sure that you cannot have more that 100%

Please help.

Can you get more than 100%, if so how?

Also If you can't, why?

Many thanks.

In a city, there are P saints and K killers. Imagine yourself visiting the city.

If two saints meet each other nothing happens. If a saint meets a killer, the killer kills the saint. If two killers meet, they kill each other. What are the chances of your survival in the city, assuming you don't kill anybody but you can be killed if you happen to meet a killer ?

Please don't say it depends on the person. I would need to learn math for the field I want to return to school for, but have not found any math ability. I am very discouraged, and wonder if anyone knows how to best become good at math. I know, by doing it, but I failed Algebra once, got a D the second time and finally a C. Thanks.

It is said that in the entire course of human history, there is virtually no chance of the same exact pattern of fingerprints forming twice.But is it possible that this random,chaotic fingerprint pattern generation might result in a pattern to occur more than once in the process,on differnt individuals born at diffferent times .

I am trying to get a brick layer to build a wall for my small bar-b-q pit. It is a right triangle with each of the two sides 1 foot long. The hypotenuse is therfore the square root of two feet. The bricklayer is confused with hytpotneuse wall that is an irrational length. So I told him to shorten one of the sides just enough so all 3 sides are rational numbers that he can measure. I want the one foot wall shortend as little as possible. What is the length of the shortened side?
