Also to make it so that people don't just guess, you should also be able to say what color house they live in, what they drink, and what they smoke....

Holy graduate school admission test...If anyone is considering law school, problems of this sort are very common on the LSAT.

This was an interesting one, and I hope I got it right ) Spent a lot of time, but (probably) got everything right ) House #, color, person, pet, cigar & drink ;)

3 inmates... 1 has 2 eyes... 1 has 1 eye... 1 is blind...
a prison guard takes 3 white hats and 2 red hats and tells the 3 inmates to close their eyes...
then he picks 3 random hats and puts them on their heads... and tells them whoever guesses what color hat they're wearing will go free...
prisoner with 2 eyes opens his eyes... and replies 'i dunno'... then the prisoner with one eye opens his eye... and replies 'i dunno'... then the guard, for the heck of it, asks the blind guy what color hat he has on... and the blind inmate replies

I do not need to have my sight;
From what my friends with eyes have said,
I clearly see my hat is ______!


Question... HOW DID HE KNOW?

This isn't the original / solvable version of this puzzle. I don't believe there is a way for the blind man to tell what color hat he's wearing, unless you're going to rely on probability.

It's based on logical thinking. The only issue I can find with it is that when you say one-eyed man, the implication is just that he has one eye. However, the meaning behind it is that he can only see the blind man, and what hat the blind man is wearing.
