Now here is a small Riddle for everyone that is kind of bored out there.
Here goes:
An evil mage has captured 4 dwarves and put them into jail. There are 2 rooms right next to each other, separated with a wall. In one room there is 1 dwarf and in the other room are 3 dwarves.
The mage has put the dwarves under a freeze spell, they cannot move any body part, they cannot move, nor look around, they can only speak once. The mage positioned them in following way.
The single Dwarf is in the middle of his room and looks straight at a wall. The only thing he sees is this wall right in front of him and nothing else. On the other side of the wall he's looking at is the other room containing the 3 dwarves in it.
The 3 Dwarves in the other room are lined up in a row and all look straight at the same wall.
The first dwarf in the row sees only the wall in front of him. The middle dwarf sees the first dwarf and the wall and the last dwarf sees the two dwarves in front of him and the wall. small sketch:
(A-D = dwarves, > = line of sight, I = wall between the rooms)
[ A> I <B <C <D ]
Each of these dwarfs has a hat on. There are 2 white hats and 2 black ones. So 2 dwarves have black hats and 2 have white hats.
But the dwarves don't know what color their own hat has and they cannot look up or speak with each other.
The mage makes a suggestion if they can say what color their own hat has, all are released and can live happily ever after. They can only speak once and say the solution, if it's wrong all of them die.
To make it challengingt the Mage gave Dwarf B and C hats with diffrent colors.
The task is up to you DWARF guess wrong and I'll eat you alive XD
Note: Feel free to discuss in here. To check for the proper solution com to the MH channel or PM me. There is a way, but of course you have to think around the edge
