A man comes to your door, he says "you have been choosen as one of the worlds 3 smartest people, will you please come with me to find out who is the smartest". He takes you into a room with no windows or mirrors, but the 2 other smartest people are there. He blindfolds all of you, and says" i am going to paint a dot on each of your forheads, red or green, if you see one or more green dots on the other two peoples heads, you raise your hand. If you can tell me what color dot is on your forehead, you will be crowned the worlds smartest person.". He paints a dot on each of your foreheads, removes the blind folds, and you see two green dots (one on each of the other forheads) and all three of you slowly raise your hands. After a pause, you say," well, i know what color dot is on my forehead" How do you know?

you know it's green because you see the others raise their hand indicating they too see two green dots. the riddle says "red OR green" does not say there will be a red one at all, it says "or"

possible combinations for every one to raise their hands:
RGG, GRG, GGR, GGG
by seeing two green dots I have a red dot or a green dot!!! something is missing here...
