It requires D to not be blind, not to be intelligent. agreed, you would actually have to be criminally stupid not to see the connection "2 whites and 2 black total, I see 2 white I have black". Sure there are lots of that kind of people in the world but no more than 48.3% I'd say. Btw anyone else who came up with the same solution as I did to madnessman's puzzle? Is there another way? | ||

Solution: + Show Spoiler + C knows his hat is black, if his hat was white then D would have seen two white hats and yelled that his hat was black. Because D did not do this, C realized that D must be seeing 2 different hats and that his hat is therefore black. | ||

C could not know his color. Then I realized I misread the problem and in fact the answer was C XD | ||
