There were 4 people sitting in a row, trying to win $50 from a riddle.

The one in front was wearing a Red hat.
The second from the front was wearing a Blue hat.
The third from the front was wearing a Red hat.
The last was wearing a Blue hat and is blind-folded.

Each of them were informed that they are all wearing a hat but they can't see their own hats, also they were informed that the last person is blind-folded and that there are 2 red and 2 blue hats. If any of them can guess the color of their hat, he will win the prize. Also note that they can only see the persons in front of them and are not allowed to turn around and see behind them.

There was a long silence, then one of them guessed the color of his hat correctly.
Who was it?
 
Well, the fourth is blindfolded so he wouldn't know.. and the third.. can only see the first two.. so he still has to guess between the two colors.. so it must be that the third person told the first two(they never said they can't talk).. and the first two got it correctly... so it'd be either the first or second..

now if you said that they can't talk.. then "the nice girl" got the correct answer.. and there's no need for me to repeat
 
It was the second person.

The first and last person cannot see other people at all, therefore it is either the third or second.

The second person realised that if he and the person in front were wearing the same colored hat, the third person would be able to answer the color of his hat right away. However, since there was a long silence, then the color of the his hat and the person in front must be different.
