EnderWiggin: a fire...

Bingo.

Alive without breath,

As cold as death,

Never thirsty, ever drinking,

All in mail, never clinking.

comrade taks... just because.

Now that the 12 hours are up, I'm sorry but you were mistaken.

 

The hat is black.

 

If #1 or #2 had seen the other two black hats or two white hats, they would have known without a doubt the color of their hat. So they each saw one white, and one black. We know that for a fact. If #3 had a white hat like you suggested, it couldn't have worked out.

 

You're suggesting that #1 had black, #2 had black, and #3 had white.

#1 sees #2 having black, and #3 having white. He can't say.

#2 sees #1 having black, and #3 having white. But he also knows that #1 had to see off colors, so #2 would know that he had the other black hat.

 

The only solution is with #1 and #2 both having white hats, and #3 having a black hat.

Your logic is flawed, right here:

 

"But he (#2) also knows that #1 had to see off colors, so #2 would know that he had the other black hat."

 

#1 would know the colour of his own hat IF AND ONLY IF he saw TWO black hats. They DO NOT have to be off colours. (They could both be white and he would still not be able to tell his own colour since there were three white availible)

 

"The only solution is with #1 and #2 both having white hats, and #3 having a black hat."

 

Let's try your solution then. Still three white, two black.

 

#1 sees #2 having white, and #3 having black. He can't say.

#2 sees #1 having white, and #3 having black. But if #2 sees #3 having black, #2 would know that his own was white! Why? Because if #2 and #3 both had black #1 would know his colour. Your solution does not work.

 

The only solution is if #3 is wearing white. (Possible solutions: #1 white #2 white #3 white, #1 black #2 white #3 white, #1 white #2 black #3 white, #1 black #2 black #3 white)

 

I believe I was correct.

I have holes on the top and bottom.

I have holes on my left and on my right.

And I have holes in the middle, yet I still hold water.

Bingo,

 

What's black when you get it,

Red when you use it,

And white when you're all through with it?

Dereth: Don't know the correct term for it, but it sounds like coal. (Black coal, gets red when you burn it and the ashes are white..)

Yep, i couldn't think of a hard one so i just used the one my 2nd grade teacher taught me. :)

Now I'm only waiting for EnderWiggin to defend his line of logic in the hat problem.. :)

Damn, it was in BG2? No wonder it was gotten so quickly. They stole it from The Hobbit. <_<

What has four legs, a head, and a foot.

A table?

Nope

That'd be a bed. Of course, a table works just as well...
