here we go



ok 4 guys buried up to there necks in sand in the dessert by an evil admin

the each are wearing hats 2 black and 2 white
and they cant see beyond the wall
the eyes corriespond to the way there are looking

ie: the guy at the back can see the two hats in frint of him but cant look backward

the evil admin says i will give you 1 minute and only 1 and then only one person may  answer what colour hat they are  wearing and why

this is pure logic

they can not talk to each other and it nothin to do with shadows !!!

ant one that can answer me who yelled out the answer and why i will award 5 karma

PS sorry really quick MS paint pic

The hats are of 2 colours - black and white. - is that the answer?
or do you want to know who is the one to deduce the hat colours?

Suppose the guy in the left behind the wall cannot see anything. actually he cannot see anything. let me eliminate him. So it the guy second starting from the left.
The guy in the right can see a black and a white hat and he cannot decide what colour he is. (because if he can be either white or black)
The guy in the middle sees the guy in front of him. the guy has a white hat. But considering the fact that the guy in the right has not responded or won the game (the guiy in the right is still thinking about his own colour), he guy in the middle can deduce that the guy in the right must be puzzled by the fact that he is seeing 2 different coloured hats. So, considering the fact that the guy in front of the guy in the middle is wearing white, he can deduce that he is wearing black and that the guy behind him has a white hat and the other one (right, behind wall) must have a black hat.

I guess I'm wrong.
Can't they tap these feet on the ground so as to pass on messages via morse code?

nope you got right ancient well done

was just hopeing i would get more answers

+5 karma

as you said its the guy in the middle on the right hand side of the wall.

if the first 2 guys on the right had just say black hats the last guy would have known that he was wearing a white
but as the last guy did not shout out the answer the middle guy must know he has a different colour hat than the first guy
make sence !!!!

anyway well done
