I see them both wearing black hats. So, I get the job because I know I'm wearing the white one. I know I've got the white hat. because they both see a white hat on my head. So, I raise my hand too - even though, technically, I don't "see" it.
I don't see how I could figure out what color hat I'm wearing. If the two other guys raise their hands, all I know is that they each see the other guy's white hat.
Does it matter what color hat I've got? I'll be raising my hand because I see what they are wearing. So, where does anyone get any new info?
Is there a solution to the problem the way it was stated?
How does, say, Bob know whether or not he's wearing a white hat? He could be wearing a black hat and Allison and Cody (and Bob) would still have their hands raised if they both are wearing white hats.
