Somnabich... not used to this forum's workings... I didn't see Tommy's answer up there...
Yeah this riddle has already appeared in this forum but you werent to know.
There is a simpler version with only 4 hats: 2 black, 2 red. Once again the people are asked, and the first doesnt know but the second says he is wearing a red hat. He is correct.
But tell me this, what is the colour of the hat of the man in front of him?
Just so u know this is easier than the last one, just for people like Alexander who didnt get the harder one.
