bob

It might be bob, could you please tell me why you think it is bob, because you could just have guessed :P

Kenon 18 years, 8 months ago

Bill and Bernard are looking towards nowhere, and Barny is not looking towards a red cap, so Bob is in the only spot where he can know his cap color.

However, Bob can only see one red and one blue. He could still be either red of blue.

JaJ 18 years, 8 months ago

right, so maybe it is someone else then :P

There IS a solution!

Maxcore 18 years, 8 months ago

I think that answer is Bill, but I don't know why.

JaJ 18 years, 8 months ago

Ok. i'll give a hint, it starts with "B"

Without a reason, I can't say if it is the right answer, because then you'd know the answer within four guesses :P

Maxcore 18 years, 8 months ago

Well I think it is bill because he is the highest, and he is also different then the others.

Kenon 18 years, 8 months ago

It can't be bill. Bill is facing NO ONE according to the picture.

But what if the picture is there to throw us off?

AH HA!

there is no answer, as there is not enough information!

AND THERE IS ANOTHER VARIABLE! WHAT IF ONE OF THEIR HATS FALL OFF?

Tasm 18 years, 8 months ago

Bob would. All he would have to do is jump down to Barny and ask him the color of his hat.

Hey, you never said they couldn't move…

OR

any of them could know if they simply take their hat off…
