My brother (viperasp) couldn't answer it even with the clues, do you think you can??

2nd puzzle:

(the answer to the first one is in the end of this video)

This one includes 3 soldiers who has to pick berets from a bag, the colonel told them the only way they will be promoted is, if they get to KNOW what color their beret is, after picking blindfolded, with a bag that included 3 black berets and 2 red berets.

The soldier at the back said that he couldn't tell what color of his beret. The soldier in the middle also said he couldn't tell what color his beret is.
BUT the soldier in front said he knows the color of his beret.

Q: How does he know, and what color is his beret???

*all three soldiers were facing the same direction in a line. So the soldier in the end can see the two soldiers.The soldier in the middle can only see the soldier in front of him, and the soldier in front cannot see anyone.
(that's already a clue)

there's no trickery here, no trick question, no word for word type question, no in between the lines. Just a straight forward question...

good luck...

  • Answer: Soldier 1 knew his beret was BLACK based from the answers of Soldiers 2 and 3!

    HOW: If S3 saw S1 and S2 both wearing red berets, he could say he wore black (given 2 Red and 3 Black berets were there). But his answer ruled out that possibility. Upon hearing that, S2 could have assumed his own beret was black, IF S1 wore red (to be parallel w S3's claim that both S1 and S2 weren't wearing red); however, S2 said he didn't know. That leaves S1 wearing a BLACK BERET!

  • wow, same answer.. ahahaha. well thanks for the answer... if you havn't yet please subscribe.. thanks... are my puzzles like online? is there like a walk through?

  • Easy I think

    The first soldier doesn't know what the color of his beret is he *can Guess* which means hes allowed to. The Major said he gets to guess so he said I can guess the color of my beret. This is a trick question. You have to take this word word.

    In simple

    Major said he gets to guess it if he does he passes.The 2 in the back don't know. But the first one thought it through and and guess like the major said.

  • there's no trick question, no mirrors, no word for word thing. three soldiers trying to know the color of their beret. the first one who tried said that he couldn't tell (the guy at the back) the second guy tried couldn't tell as well. (guy in the middle) BUT the last guy in front knew what his beret was after picking blindfolded. So the question again is, how did he know, and what color is his beret?

  • Here is some thing you actually cannot answer unlike this. Why is a raven like a writing desk

  • I numbered the soldier in order they responded.

    1: If the first soldier would have seen two red berets he would have known that his was black. Because hi didn't knew it means that the 2 berets hi saw were black and red or both black.

    2: The second soldier knew that the 2 berets must be black and red or both red. If he would have seen the beret before him was red he would have known that his must be black.

    Because he didn't knew it means that the beret he saw was BLACK

  • @gowk I don't get it either

  • Blindfold has hols in it

  • black, the other soldiers had red barrets
