excellent, and don't worry about the puzzle thing, i will cover this one:


Three masters of logic wanted to find out who was the wisest one. So they invited the grand master, who took them into a dark room and said: "I will paint each one of you a red or a blue dot on your forehead. When you walk out and you see at least one red point, raise your hands. The one who says what color is the dot on his own forehead first, wins." Then he painted only red dots on every one. When they went out everybody had their hands up and after a while one of them said: "I have a red dot on my head."
How could he be so sure?

There was a mirror in the room?

[fg-54]

no, no mirrors, they are alone in a room, all three, just looking at each other, also, they can't talk/tell each other what color they have on their forehead or whatever, all they can do is look, and raise their hands when they see a red dot.

The wisest one must have thought like this:
I see all hands up and 2 red dots, so I can have either a blue or a red dot. If I had a blue one, the other 2 guys would see all hands up and one red and one blue dot. So they would have to think that if the second one of them (the other with red dot) sees the same blue dot, then he must see a red dot on the first one with red dot. However, they were both silent (and they are wise), so I have a red dot on my forehead.

tisk tisk, at first i was impressed by how well you had gotten it, but then your reply seemed awfully familiar, you copied the reply WORD BY WORD from the exact place i got it from, this is an unlucky coincidence for you :P anyways, i guess i better post the next puzzle.
