Number 2 would shout out that he has a white hat on because he can see that 3 infront of him has a black hat on, and he would know that if he also had a black hat on then 1 would have shouted out his colour. So 2 will realize that his must be different to 3.

I don't think i've explained it very well but I think thats right

yea, thats right. ur explaination is totally fine.

let me try to explain it better.

number 1 sees 2 hats of differnt colors in front of him, so he cant say for sure which hat he is wearing, becasue its a 50/50 chance he will get it right. number 2 knows that number 1 can see 2 hats. 1 being his own (number 2's) and the other being number 3's. and since number 1 is not shouting anything, that means that number 2's and number 3's hats are of 2 differnt colors. and since number 2 sees that number 3's hat is black, that means his hat has to be white, which explains why number 1 is not shouting anything. number 2 is first to shout his hat color, and number 3 would be second, becaues he knows that both number 1 and number 2 can see his hat color, and if number 2 shouted his hat being white, and since number 1 didnt say anything either, that means that number 3 also understands that number 2's hat and his own (number 3's) are of differnt colors. and since number 2 shouted white, then that means he would be the second one to shout, which would be black.

and now iam not sure who would shout 3rd. iam guess it would be white, becaues he's just going by the pattern maybe, but idk.

but the first person to shout his hat color is def. number 2. for sure.

Yes, No. 2

4 - cannot see anyone's hat

3 - cannot see anyone's hat

2 - can see that 3 is wearing a black hat

1 - can see 2 and 3's hat colors.

2 will know he is wearing a white hat, due to the following reason:

If 1 knew that 2 and 3 were wearing the same color hats -- he would have answered there and then, because there are only two hats of the same color, black and white. So if 2 and 3 had, say white -- he would have answered black, but he did not, because from the picture, WE can tell that 2 and 3 have different color hats.

2 knows he is wearing a white hat because if 1 saw that both 2 and 3 were wearing black hats, then he would have answered. But since 1 is silent, 2 knows that he must be wearing a white hat as he can see that 3 is wearing a black hat.

Edit: Just saw the thread's date -- lol -- it's been here for ages :lol:

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
