Let's start again, there are actually 4 men, the first one is behind a wall and all four men know that there are two red and two blue hats. One of them can work out what colour his hat is, How?

Can he see the forth one through the window in the wall ?

Nope they cannot see the fourth one at all and the fourth one is basically fecked as he can't see anyone

Using your picture example, number 1 can work it out ONLY if 2 and 3 have the same colour hat. Number 2 can bide his time and if number 1 doesn't shout he knows his hat isn't the same colour as number 3.

It was so much easier the first time round then you had to go and spoil it.

Each evening the four wizards asked each other the question, "What do you take off last before you get into bed?"

Here is the full answer (changing blue and red hats to white and black hats as it is a black and white picture)

After a while, 2 comes to the realization that he must answer. This is because 1 can't answer, and neither can 4 or 3. 1 can see 2 and 3, but can't determine his own hat color. 3 can't see anyone and also can't determine his own hat colour. 4 is in the same situation as 3, where he can't see anyone and can't determine his own hat colour. Since 4, 3, and 1 are silent, that leaves 2. 2 knows he is wearing a white hat because if 1 saw that both 2 and 3 were weraing black hats, then he would have answered. But since 1 is silent, 2 knows that he must be wearing a white hat as 3 (who he can see) is wearing a black hat.

This whole situation is outrageous. Does this company, or indeed the building management company have no kind of accessibility policies in place. This is discriminatory, and your colleague should really be talking to your HR department about some kind of resolution.

I would suggest leaving a broom in the lift. Or maybe a stack of books.

I think health & safety might have something to say about that, both are clearly trip hazards and you might as well start a fire yourself if you have a stack of books.

Paul is 20 years old in 2013, but only 15 years old in 2018. How is this possible?

Is he 23 ?

How many cats are in a small room if in each of the four corners a cat is sitting, and opposite each cat there sit 3 cats, and at each cat's tail a cat is sitting?

Sunday ?

An old chap went into a forum thread and after 30 mins had to leave...why.

You've been working from home all day and some of that time has been spent looking at porn and masturbating. You've deleted all the history off the computer before the girlfriend/wife gets back from work, but unbeknown to you a bit of jizz has got on your trousers. Your missus spots it as soon as she gets in, and as she's lactose intolerant you can't blame it on the obvious choice of yoghurt as it has never been allowed in the fridge. How do you explain it without an argument?

Hmmm, good points.

The broom would have to be attached to the wall by something like a bank pen chain so it hung low enough for the aforementioned dee-warfs but could never fall over and become a tripping hazard.

The stack of books would require a fire extinguisher to be installed.

At this point, you'd probably have to reduce the occupancy limit by one person.

A man walks int o a bar. he is not very happy. He asks for a drink, drinks the drink but remains unhappy. A man comes up behind him and says something. The man turns round, smiles and says 'thank you'. Why?
