Just a thought for a new Post!!!
Riddles or Brain Teasers.
Any member can post a Riddle or Brain Teaser, see who can solve it the quickest?
Starting with this one!
A black dog is sleeping in the middle of a black road that has no streetlights and there is no moon. A car coming down the road with its lights off steers around the dog.
How did the driver know the dog was there?

I expect you all know this one:
What is greater than God, More evil than the devil, The poor have it, The rich need it, And if you eat it, you'll die?

For MarJus What colour their hat is and how they know? only one needs to answer.
Unknown said: Ok four prisoners facing death, each given a hat, white or black, that they can't see and are set up as below. they can only look forward. the wall is not see through. if they turn around or talk to each other they all die if they look at their own hat they all die. If they give a wrong answer they all die. they have 30 seconds as do you! after that time they all die. shot! they must be able to explain why a good guess still gets death. After 20 second one of them gives the colour of his hat. who and why? Tic Toc!

For viewing or photography right place right time is everything. I'd rather be in the right place with poor kit than have the best kit and be in the wrong place.

Nothing
Yup! That's it! An old one!
As for yours, I'm truly stumped!

The best clue is the time 20 seconds.
I think it is D who gives the right answer because D can see more hats than any of the others but I can't work out how he knows the colour of the hat the other side of the wall! Give in.
The necessity of bird-watching is a really good reason for avoiding all forms of housework.
The dust will still be there tomorrow - the birds may not be!

Hello.I'll have a guess before my head explodes. I think that the hats are made of a material that is slightly reflective on the rear of the hat. Aspects such as sunlight (which is likely to become more of a factor when a prisoner is locked in a dark, damp, condemed cell and then exposed to bright sunlight just before being shot) is more likely to become more of a factor; as we can see from the body shape of the man in the white hat on the far right of the drawing, his head is lowered slightly because he can't touch his head or he'll be shot. This means that he can't adjust his cap to ward off the sun's rays. Under stress of iminant execution, he's about to blurt out something about the light catching off the black hat in front of him. Then he sees a reflection and informs that he is wearing a white hat. I reckon this takes 20 seconds because the brain procces is slowed due to the severe stress of iminant death, that the hats are only slightly reflective, and the fact that none of the prisoners are allowed to touch their hats.Right okay that's my guess and I'm sticking to it.Paul.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.

I love your thinking, brilliant!!.
Come on John another clue please!
Our heads are exploding or are we giving in to easily.

Wow! Heron 77, that is deep but this is not. Squirrel has noted D is important, but is also wrong. Try mentally being each man, what they think and what they think each of the others think. then you will see it is not trickery.
why is the one man who can see the most not just saying the colour of his hat after one or two seconds?
Is A allowed to jump and see the other three over the wall? If he is then he will answer.
