Dictator - Chan4Chan

Maaster: 42. No, really? The last person counts all hats and the last hat thats left is his. The second last does the same, subtracts the answer before and boom. Repeat. But hey, nuking Africa is fine too.

1268861920202

Anonymous: FAIL. The answer is supposed to be "each person says the color of the hat in front of him" but the author left a loophole - "the distribution of the hats can be anything..." Make them all the same color.

Hughbie: Ass hats. That'll do for an answer.

1268974256300

Nickeh: It didn't say no one else could see, it only said that the first person in line could not see. So if he got it wrong because he couldn't see, assuming you would get shot if you lost, everyone else could just take a look at their own hat to survive, leaving 99 survivors.

1270786398845

Nickeh: Another possible solution would rely on the fact that the riddle specifies that only the last man in line was told he'd die if he got it wrong. So in theory if he got it wrong and so did all 99 other people, the other 99 would still survive because they wouldn't be shot.

markcriley: The first guy tells everyone else in the line that for him “Red” is code for odd and “Blue” is code for even. This guy, who can see all the hats except his own, counts the red hats and says red if there are an odd number and blue if there are an even number. He will be right ½ the time and be dead half the time.

1270861364195

markcriley: number of red hats in front of him, if he counts an even number of red hats he knows his hat is red and if he counts an odd number of hats he knows his hat is blue.

1270861433980

markcriley: This goes on until the last guy who knows that the first guy saw an odd number of red hats and has heard how many people behind him have red hats. If an even number of people, after the first guy, had red hats then his hat is red and if an odd number said red his has is blue.

1270861684494

markcriley: Sorry, part of my answer did not fit in the space. In short, if you know there is a odd/even number of red hats to start with and you know there are an odd/even number of red hats are in front and behind you, then you know if you have a red hat.

1274480809897

Anonymous: The riddle is poorly worded, as to be unsolvable.. The optimum strategy is to say the color of the hat of the person in front of him, hoping that person will figure it out (they are not allowed to talk and plan such a strategy, tho.. so the next guy may fail to realize it..) Otherwise, the odd/even strategy works, too.

Bobby: Or the other way - if they must pick a combination, then pick a 99 red 1 blue. All watch in front of them - if they see only red hats, and no one has yet answered "blue", than he has the blue hat. If he sees the blue hat in front of him, or someone has already had the blue hat on him - say red.
