"LOL...no more prizes...what would you like?"

I can only help with one....*searches for midget porn*

C'mon smarty pantses!! answer this one, and NO CHEATING!

"The three wisest sages in the land were brought before the king to see which of them were worthy to become the king's advisor. After passing many tests of cunning and invention, they were pitted against each other in a final battle of the wits.

Led blind-folded into a small room, the sages were seated around a small wooden table as the king described the test for them.

"Upon each of your heads I have placed a hat. Now you are either wearing a blue hat or a white hat. All I will tell you is this- at least one of you is wearing a blue hat. There may be only one blue hat and two white hats, there may be two blue hats and one white hat, or there may be three blue hats. But you may be certain that there are not three white hats."

"I will shortly remove your blind folds, and the test will begin. The first to correctly announce the colour of his hat shall be my advisor. Be warned however, he who guesses wrongly shall be beheaded. If not one of you answers within the hour, you will be sent home and I will seek elsewhere for wisdom."

With that, the king uncovered the sages' eyes and sat in the corner and waited. One sage looked around and saw that his competitors each were wearing blue hats. From the look in their eyes he could see their thoughts were the same as his, "What is the colour of my hat?"

For what seemed like hours no one spoke. Finally he stood up and said, "The colour of the hat I am wearing is . . ."

What color was it?

ah c'mon, it's a good one!

"From the look in their eyes he could see their thoughts were the same as his, "What is the colour of my hat?""

Blue.

Everyone is seeing the exact same thing...soo everyone saw only 2 blue hats....thus leaving them to think what is the color of my hat.

All of them blue.

hola notos.

lady m, wtf??

The Aristocrats

no, lady m got it right and i hate that she's such a motherfucking genius all the time.

*dejected*

i don't think she cheated

i tried the first line before i posted, it doesn't take you to the riddle, at least not on google.

does it really? on mine the exact first line comes up, but it's actually some story about alexander the great not a riddle.

omg, if you paste just part of it it comes up and if you post the whole thing it doesn't. guess i didn't check well enough, but i didn't think anyone would be motivated enough to cheat.

i still don't think lady m cheated, she either had heard it before or really deduced it. it's very possible, a dude was at my house last night and i asked him and he had to think but got it pretty quickly.

well that would probably be my solution if i was placed in that situation, fuck the king, i'll keep my head thanks.

yeah i admit that the second time i read through it (after i had seen the answer of course) it seemed a lot easier given that little hint. 😛

orrrrr i was completely right. 🙂

lol cappywench, it was just an internet link, that's all, "proving" how i was wrong.

*bangs head on keyboard*

when you put "The three wisest sages in the land were brought before the king to see which of them were worthy to become the king's advisor." in the search, it doesn't come up. something similar does. at least that's what happens w/me.

i've been talking about the first line for the last half an hour, for fuck's sake!

meow because you know i'm right. 😉
this meeting is adjourned.

"The three wisest sages in the land were brought before the king to see which of them"

^ not the whole sentence. and as i've already said part of it, in fact, DOES work...pwned.

*jaw drops*

omg...he was right! 😢

so you were right for once, i'm already over it. 😛

"(p.s: that's a damn good way of explaining the 'Aqua' mystery,fwiw......)"

such a hater!!!!!!!!!!!!
