    0 I 0 0 0

    The wall is solid, and cannot be looked through, (no mirrors, windows, holes etc).

    There are 4 hats, 2 black and 2 white, and each man is wearing one of them. The men can see what is directly in front of them, but cannot look sideways or behind. They have no way of visually seeing what colour hat is on their own head. They are offered a reward, the first person to be able to tell for certain which colour hat they are wearing will win $1,000,000, but if they are incorrect they will be executed.

    A few moments pass and one man confidently raises his hand and proclaims he knows what colour hat he is wearing. Which man is it and how does he know?


    if a few minutes pass, it's the guy in the middle on the side of the wall with three men.

    The guy who can see two hats would immediately know his color hat if the two in front of him had the same color hat, his would be opposite and he would just get up, again, immediately.

    But, if the two in front of him were different, he wouldn't know and would have to hesitate. This clue lets the middle guy know his hat must be the opposite of the hat in front of him.

    the dude 2nd from the back wins the money because the dude behind him doesn't say anything - the explanation is a little more complicated but that's the short version.

    A man lies in a bed in a room with no door.
    He waits hoping for presence, something, anything to enter....
    After spending half his life searching, he still felt as blank as the ceiling at which he stared...
    He's alive but feel absolutely nothing...
    So is he?

    is that one of those riddles that has no answer like if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around does it make a sound?

    No. There is an answer and it does make sense when you hear it.

    There is a terrible accident.
    The accident victim is taken to the closest trauma center.
    The emergency room doctors decide that surgery is an immediate necessity.
    The surgeon is summoned to the ED for an evaluation.
    As the surgeon begins to examine the patient, the surgeon exclaims:

    "I cannot possibly operate on this patient!
    You know policy states that we cannot treat our own relatives."

    ED Dr. asks, "but Doctor, how is this patient related to you?"

    The surgeon explains:

    "Brothers and sisters have I none.
    But that man's father is my father's son!"

    How is the patient related to the surgeon?
    peace,

    A young boy and his father were out playing football when they were caught at the bottom of a giant pileup. Both were injured and rushed to the hospital. They were wheeled into separate operating rooms and two doctors prepped up to work on them, one doctor for each patient. The doctor operating on the father got started right away, but the doctor assigned to the young boy stared at him in surprise. "I can´t operate on him!" the doctor exclaimed to the staff. "That child is my son!"

    How can that be?
