A little tricky but can be solved easily.
Solve it
4 criminals are caught and are to be punished. The Judge
allows them to be freed if they can solve a puzzle. If they do not, they will be
hung. They agreed.
The 4 criminals are lined up on some steps (shown in picture
attached). They are all facing in the same direction. A wall separates the
fourth man from the other three.
So to summarize:-
Man 1 can see men 2 and 3.
Man 2 can see man 3.
Man 3 can see none of the others.
Man 4 can see none of the others.
Man 1 can see men 2 and 3.

Man 3 can see none of the others.
Man 4 can see none of the others.
The criminals are wearing hats. They are told that there are
two white hats and two black hats. The men initially don't know what colour hat
they are wearing. They are told to shout out the color of the hat that they are
wearing as soon as they know for certain what colour it is.
They are not allowed to turn round or move.
They are not allowed to talk to each other.
They are not allowed to take their hats off.
They are not allowed to talk to each other.
They are not allowed to take their hats off.
Who is the first person to shout out and why?
