There are four man standing in front of a firing-squad. Two of them (nr.1 & 3) wear a black hat and two of them (nr.2 & 4) wear a white hat. They are all facing the same direction and between nr.3 and nr.4 stands a brick wall (see picture). So nr.1 can see nr.2 & 3, nr.2 sees nr.3, nr.3 sees only the wall and nr.4 doesn't see a thing. The men know that there are two white and two black hats.
The commander of the firing-squad is willing to let the men go if one of them can say what color hat he is wearing. The men are not allowed to talk. The only thing they may say is "I'm wearing a white/black hat". If one of the men knows which hat he is wearing he must tell it and all men will be free.
Which man knows 100% sure what color hat he's wearing?

Nr.1 sees a white and a black hat in front of him so he doesnt kno whether its hes wearing a black or a white bcause there are two of each, so he doesnt say anything. Because nr.1 does not say anything nr.2 knows that nr.1 must see a black and a white hat. Nr.2 sees a black hat and therefor he knows that he himself wears a white hat.
