The Riddle Thread

Try to solve the previous riddle while adding one of your own!

Here's Mine:
A woman has 7 children, half of them are boys.
How can this be possible?

Yeah I've heard that one too, the guy above me just answered it. Kind of lame, doesn't really make sense.

Here's one:

4 people are standing in a line, all wearing either a white hat or a black hat, and each person can see everyone in front but not their own or anyone behind. They all know that not every hat is the same colour. From front to back, it goes [ B B W B ]. After a few seconds of silence, one of them suddenly announces their own colour - who is it and why?

No, only that they are not all the same colour.

P.S. I knew you'd be on this riddle thread like a fat kid on a smartie.

w says his color, because he knows that, since the man behind him does not say anything, his hat MUST be of the different color than those of the men in fron of him. otherwise, the man behind him would know that he wears a white hat, since there has to be at least one hat of the opposite color (which he doesn't wear).

Correct, now where the hell's your riddle? You're supposed to post a new one when you solve!

LOL @ igottaknow's googling.
