the president wanted to appoint an ambassador. he narrowed the selection down to three people. so to decide he told each one he will be blindfolded and given a hat. the hat is either blue or white. they don't know what hat color they have. there must be at least one blue hat. one at a time, they are un-blindfolded. they must determine their hat color in an hour or they will be shot. if they guess wrong they are killed as well. they take off the first mans blindfold and he sees that the other two men have blue hats and after 56 minutes of thinking he declares his hat. what is it and how did he know?
