You're playing Indian poker with two others, with red cards and blue cards. There are a total of 3 red cards and 2 blue cards. On their foreheads you see two red cards. You're trying to guess your own card that you haven't seen. No one says anything for a long time. Then you have the answer. | ||

He has three red cards and two blue cards. He gives each of you a card that you don't look at. you put it immediately to your forehead. You can see what each of the other two people have. The warden will spare your life if you can tell him what card you have and why. You see two red cards and nobody says anything for a long time. Then you have the answer. What is it? mmmm the answer should be easy? | ||

Yes, the low card in the deck is a 2. game 2 : um, well yeah ^^ game 3 : nope, or D would have said I lose, she has the king. for the 5, I'm making a big tree but I'm dead tired so off to bed, secretly hoping it isn't solved until tomorrow | ||

If C has a king, then J can't answer that he ties because he doesn't know for sure he has a king. If he ties, it has to be because he sees D with a king. | ||

Suppose the cards are RRB. The first inmate looks at RB and says nothing. He cant deduce anything from this. The second inmate looks at RB and says nothing initially. However, he knows that the second inmate doesnt see BB, cause if he did see BB, he would know his card was red. thus, this inmate would speak up and say his card is red. But that isnt the case. Thus the card MUST be red | ||

If an inmate saw red and blue he would be able to quickly deduce that his card COULDN'T be blue--since the inmate with the red card would see two blue cards and would have known immediately he was red. Thus, his card can't be blue, it has to logically be red, assuming the other inmates aren't deadbrains. 2. The warden had intentions of letting the most intelligent one go, and the only fair way to give them each a fair chance is to give them all red. It makes sense. | ||

I actually thought I found the solution for number 5 a few minutes ago, it doesn't work like I thought but I think I've made a big step forward. You can slowly deduce the minimum card they have if I'm correct, going back to bed now, hoping to find insipration (or sleep, both would be good) there | ||

Adults are holding children, waiting their turn. The children are handed one at a time to a man, who holds them while a woman shoots them. If the child is crying, the man tries to stop the crying before the child is shot. what's happening? | ||
