I heard a riddle that goes... There was a line of three men. A box containing 5 hats next to them. 3 of them are black and 2 of them are white. Another man hands out one hat to each of them at random. The man in the back says he does not know what he is wearing, though he can see the hats in front of him. The man in the middle says he doesnt know either and he can see the man in front of him. The man in the front says what he is wearing. How does he know what color hat he is wearing???? they can NOT talk to each other and look at their hat. how the heck does he know! i cant figure it out! please help! thanks a ton
