Difficult Riddles

[JD]

There are 3 gentlemen, one of which is blind. They walk in to a room that's completely and fully dark. In this room there are 5 hats. 3 black ones and 2 white ones. Every gentleman picks up a hat without looking at them. The two unused hats are removed. Then the lights go on. We ask gentleman 1 if he knows what hat he's got on without looking at his own hat. He looks at the two other gentlemen and he says "No!". Then we ask gentleman 2 the same questions. He looks around and answers "No!". Now we ask gentleman 3 (blind person) if he knows what hat he's got on. Instantly he yells "Yes!".

The question is, how does gentleman 3 know which hat he's got on?

ANSWER:
[spoiler]
Person 1 does not see 2 white hats.
Person 2 does not see 2 white hats.
BECAUSE in either one of those situations the person would've known what hat he had on which they did not.

Person 2 knows that person 1 did not see 2 white hats. This means that as soon as Person 3 is wearing a white hat he's wearing a black hat since otherwise person 1 would've known what hat he had on. He does not know this so person 3 can't be wearing a white hat.

It's that... simple?

A king has bought 9 diamonds. He knows, however, that one of the diamonds is a fake and weighs a little more than the other ones so he tells the shopkeeper to get his scale.



With only weighing twice the king already knows which diamond is the fake one.
How did he do this?

Answer will be up tonight.

I've heard a riddle kinda like this before but I can't recall this exact version. Kinda clueless at the moment. Will you post the answer later on?

[JD]

Yeah, I'll post the answer either tonight or tomorrow night I'm gonna try to post some more of these riddles if they're liked

'Cause he's blind and everything is already dark for him, therefore he can "see" the dark hat, but he cannot see the white hats.

Wrong

[Mitron]

the two persons who can see got white hats
the blind one got black

He knows that as there were only 2 white hats and as the 2 persons who can see dont know what hat he got when he looks at the others (one white and one black they look at) because if the other 2 persons both had white hats then they would know they had black hats :P then when the blind man understand this he knows he got a black hat as the other two have white hats.

hard to explain.... but i hope u unserstand what i mean xD

Can't be the solution, man 1 and man 2 when they are looking at eachother they could also have 2 black hats, and then they dont know either if they could have a black or white themselves, since there were 3 black hats

Dont think this is the solution, working my brain out for the right one though :/

Dammit, that was a hard one.. I finally got it tho

[Vyre]

Is it not something about fake diamonds getting destroyed easier than real ones? :>

If so, the king first weighted them, thought wth threw the **** on the ground took the one that didnt smash and weighted it. That's what i would have done atleast.
