Here's the scenario.
You're a wizard working for the king along with 2 others. The king has decided that 1 wizard is sufficient for his needs and has devised a test to see which wizard is the smartest.
You are blindfolded and led to a room and sat down on a chair. The king then speaks. "My wizards. I have placed on each of your heads, a hat. The hat is either blue or white. All that I will tell you is that there cannot be three white hats. The first wizard to tell me the colour of their hat will win the challenge, however, a wrong guess will result in death. If no-one answers befroe sunrise, then I shall look elsewhere for a new wizard."
Your blindfold is removed. You are sat at 1 corner of a triangular table. At the other corners are the other 2 wizards. Both wizards are wearing a blue hat.
Everyone is silent for hours, nervously glancing at one another until, just before sunrise, you get up and declare "The colour of my hat is...."
btw, there are no reflective objects in the room.
