yep, that's right, Cyp! Thomas

>> Perhaps I'm missing something, but are we assuming that the man in the front is correct in his saying he's wearing a red hat? He could be wrong. What if he's wearing a blue hat? Then the second man would be wearing red, and the third man any color. --Oncogene 12:21, 30 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think the posted solution was too complicated. I replaced it with one I think is more transparent. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Dusik 21:39, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

More confusing
last man sees either 2 Reds or 1R+1B in both the cases he is not sure about its hats colour So he says dont know man position       red         blue    case 3                   2           0        1 3                    1           1        2 case 1: second must see blue and confuse about its color case 2: second must see red and confuse about its color

so how can first man determine its color??
