Three men walk into a pitch black room full of hats, all the hats are black exept for two which are red. Each man picks up a random had and leaves the place. One guy says,
"I can't see the color of my hat but I can see your hats." Another guy says,
"I can't see the color of my hat but I know what colors your hats are."
And the blind guy says, "I can't see your hats but I know what color mine is."
How does the blind guy know what color of hat he's wearing?

Since it's a pitch black room, only the red hats can be seen. If the the first two guys said that they can see each other's hat, that means they are wearing red hats. The blind guy guessed that the other two guys' hats are red. So He wears a black hat.

well, i'll guess. the color of the hat he's wearing is black. so is the others' hats. that's bcoz he's blind and the only color he sees is black.. nothing but (pitch) black...

no, its because the blind guy knows that if both guys can see the colors of the other ones hat, the blind guy knows what color his is. he is just eliminating the possibilities. i know the answer, but it is kinda hard to explain.

seems to be missing info.
guy one says" .....but i can see your hats." (not enough info should say color or colors, then still not enough but better)
guy two says ...."i know what colors your hats are."
That implies that "guy one" and the "blind guy" are wearing different colors. Guy one does not imply same or different color for the other two, one might infer that "guy two" and "blind guy" are wearing the same color but it's a reach the way it's written.
the way it's written "guy two" sees "colors" in cases below.
1) "guy one" has red, "guy two" has red, "blind guy" has black.
2) "guy one" has black, "guy two" has black, "blind guy" has red.
3) "guy one" has black, "guy two" has red, "blind guy" has red
4) "guy one" has red, "guy two" has black, "blind guy" has black
IF "guy one" implies same color for "guy two" and "blind guy"
then 3 and 4 apply so still red or black.
IF "guy one" implies different colors for "guy two and "blind guy" then 1 and 2 apply so still red or black.
IF there was one red hat, and "guy one" implies that he only sees one color of hat then the "blind guy" would be wearing black along with "guy two" and "guy one" would be wearing red.
what am i missing?

Since two know the color (red), then all options left are black.
