4 men were captured and buried up to their necks in the sand. They're placed in this order A, B, C wall D. There's a wall placed between C and D. They were all buried facing only 1 direction, so each can only see the person in front. Their captors put on each of their heads a skull cap, A, B, C and D were told that on their heads is either a white or black cap (there are 2 white caps and 2 black caps).
These men were told that anyone who got the correct cap colour on their heads, they will all be set free. So question is, which of them will get it right, A, B, C or D.
(Hint: Definitely not D as he can't see anything but the horizon, and the answer is logical)
First person getting it right gets 10 points =)

No, it's not A. Yes, he can see both B and C but what if they each have a different colour? So he wouldn't know what's on his own head and also on D's head

Ok, B's correct. But can you tell me why? First one who gets it right...or reasons it right gets the 10 points

Ok, they can only make ONE guess. Whoever gets the wrong answer ALL of them will be killed...

Alvin N, you got it! Detailed and to the point =)
Took me ages when I first thought about it

The normal answer would probably be B. Since A can see B and C, then if B and C had the same cap, A would know he had the opposite. If B and C had different caps, then A wouldn't answer and B would be able to tell eventually that the guy in front of him has the opposite.
If they could deliberate, then A could tell B the color of his cap and B could answer, or either A or B can tell C. There would be no sense in lying if all lives would be spared.
But you were looking for the first one, huh? In that case, B.

Anybody?, If pointed toward A, B can see A's cap. B can also ask C what's on B's head. So B gets A and B right. Now B makes guess on C and D. 50/50 If B gets it wrong they all know what's on their heads.
Do they get more than 1 try? Or is it up to B to make right guess.
I thought they can only see one head front of them.

Everyone is guessing so it does not make any difference as far as vision is concerned.
