This took me a while to figure out, but it is possible. Give it a shot.
So the Governer (of your respective state) wanted to hire an advisor. He had narrowed it down to three qualified men (sorry, no ladies), but only wanted to hire the smartest one. So that wacky governer of ours came up with a clever little puzzle, see if you can figure it out:
-The governer had 5 hats: 3 white, 2 green.
-The three men closed their eyes while the governer placed a hat on each of the three men's heads.
-The object was for each man to figure out the color of his own hat without looking at it.
-The first man opened his eyes and saw the hats of man #2 and man #3. "I can't figure this out," he said.
-The second man opened his eyes and saw the hats of man #1 and man #3. "I cant figure this out either," he said.
-The third man proclaimed "I've got it! My hat is __________!"
-The third man was blind
What color was the third man's hat, and how did he figure it out?
