| A king's princess wanted to get married to smart man to rule the kingdom. The king called on the three smartest men in his kingdom to come forth. "I'm going to put either a red or a white dot on each of you foreheads when your eyes are closed." said the king. The men closed their eyes, and the king put a red dot on each of there foreheads. They could see eachothers but not their own. When the men opened their eyes the king said "If you see red raise your hand. All three men raised their hands. "If one of you can tell me what color of dot you've got on your forehead please stand up. There will be no talking." One man stood up, waited a minute, and said "I've got a red dot on my head." How did he know what colour dot was on his forehead.
Answer: If he had a white dot on his forehead. the other two would've stood up immediately because the other one had stuck up his hand. If the man standing up had white, the other man must have seen red on him.
