    In front of a firing squad there are 4 men. Two of them no's 1 and 3 wear a black hat, and no'2 and 4 wear a white hat.</p>

    They are all facing the same way and between no's 3 and 4 there is a wall.</p>

    No' 1 can see no's 2 and 3. No. 2 can only see no. 3 and no. 3 can only see the wall.</p>

    No. 4 can see nothing.</p>

    The men know there are 2 black and 2 white hats.</p>

    The firing squad commander is willing to let the men go if one of them can say what colour hat they are wearing.</p>

    The men are not allowed to talk except to say &quot;I am wearing a black/white hat&quot;</p>

    Which man is 100% certain what colour hat he is wearing?</p>

    Go on then, i'll have a pop.

    Assuming the firing squad are shooting in order of the men then number 4 - because by the time the firing squad get to him he would have time to deduce the colour of his hat from the others answers.

    Do I win a week in the celebrity big brother or do I die in a celebrity's swimming pool?

    I'm not absolutely sure that I remember this right, but I think the answer is no 2.</p>

    If he is wearing the same colour as no. 3 then no.1 would see that and know that he (no 1 ) is wearing the opposite colour. However if no 1 can see that no's 2 and three are different, then no. 2 knows that he is wearing the opposite of no.3 </p>

    I THINK !!!!</p>

    If not, you can have the prize of 1 zillion pounds paid in 1p pieces but you have to take it away in your pockets !! :D </p>
