Puzzle of the day

There are there men, one of whom is blind. They go into a dark room with 5 hats, 3 of them white and 2 black. Each men takes a hat and walks out. None of the men can see their own hat The first man looks at the other to and says I don't know what color I have on.The 2nd guy looks at the other two and also says I don't know what color hat I have on. The 3rd guy is blind and based on the other 2 said before him,he says I have a white hat. He's right.

How does he know?

Puzzle of the day answer

The blind guy knows he's wearing white because if guy number 1 says is" I don't know" it means that Guy number 2 and himself can't both be black. Then guy number 2 knows that based on what guy number 1 said, it means that they both can't be black so if the blind guy is black , guy number 2 knows that he is white, but he says "I don't know" because the blind guy is white. Which gives the blind guy enough information to know that he is white.

Puzzle of the day answer #2

The blind guy knows because if the first guy says "I don't know what hat I'm wearing" it must mean that the second person and himself can't both be black.Which means there are 3 possibilities, #1. person number 2 and himself are both white.#2 and #3. One of them is white and the other one is black or the other way around. Which leaves him confused and he doesn't know what hat he is wearing.Guy number 2 knows that one of them is wearing white and the other person is wearing black or the other way around or there both wearing white but when he looks at the other 2 he says"I don't know what hat I'm wearing". So based on what the other 2 said the blind person or person number 3 knows that he's wearing white because there more chances of being white than black.
