and while u try to solve my last problem think also about the following
the world therein is an unusual english word. In fact, it is the MOST unusual english word. U could never find another english word that has the same feature as this word. It is simply unique. So tell me what makes this word so unusual and special? |

It's got the most words on it?
"therein"
-the
-he
-there
-here
-her
-in
-rein
am I missing any?
Anyhow, here's a slihtly difficult one for you guys....
Four men were captured by a tribe of men, and were buried all in the ground up to their necks, three facing a brick wall one in front of the other (they can't turn their heads, they can only see the back of the other's head who's in front of them), and the other one on the other side of the wall facing it as well. Now the tribe has given them a chance for freedom, they have each had a cap placed on their heads being either the colour black, or white (there are 2 of each), and if one of them can figure out what colour cap he is wearing, they may all go free, but if he says an incorect answer or anything else, they will all die. They are given 1 hour, but after 20 minutes, somebody says the answer, n they are all let free. How did he figure it out? :D |

| Nope, anything that comes out of someone's mouth that isn't the answer will get them all killed. And the person who says the answer knows for sure when he says it. |

I didnt get 2 things:o
The third one: can he see the necks of both men in front of him? and
Do they all know that there are 2 caps of each color ? |
|

| The Greek |
| hmmm...if the last guy of the three sees that the two guys in front of him have either 2 white caps or 2 black caps, then he can figure out that himself and the guy on the other side have the other color, depending on what the guys in front of the last guy have on their heads. but what if the two guys in front of the last guy have a white cap and a black cap? how would he know whats on his own head and on the other guy's? i dont get that part plus do they know that theres two of each color? |
