The Four Freestylers

Once more I will do a picture to make it more understandable.
Four freestylers got captured by professionnal footballers who don't like freestyle. They say "you can't use this in a real football match", so
they decided to dig the freestylers in the ground exept for their heads. The fsers can absolutely not move, also they can't move or turn their
heads. Between freestyler A and freestyler B is a massive wall, so they can't see each other. Besides, all the freestylers know that each one
of them wears a hat. Two hats are white, two are black (they know this.) However, they do not know which freestyler wears which color.
To avoid that they will get killed by the pro footballers, one freestyler has to guess his own hat color. When he gets wrong, all the fsers will
get killed, so there is no second chance: he must be absolutely right. The four freestylers are not allowed to speak with each other, and they
get 10 minutes times to think it over. After a few minutes, one freestyler guesses the correct color of his hat, and all get free. Now the question:

Which freestyler knew the correct answer, and why was he absolutely right that it was correct?



Notice: every single piece of information is useful.

[nedved]

can D see both hats infront of him or just the one on C?

[SvenF]

can D see both hats infront of him or just the one on C?

he can see both.

[Tom]

Lets see.

C knows that B has a black hat on him. And he thinks: "If i also have a black hat on me, then the person D sees that and then he will know that he have a white hat" So thats the reason person C know that he has a white hat!

exactly! well done maukas. karma given  :thumbsup:

it was important that only after a few minutes somebody said the right answer. C had to be sure that D was not going to say
anything.

Ok, lets give it a go for the next one. This one is a little more difficult.
Please all those who know this quiz, don't answer it and let those solve who haven't known it before.

In the following riddle, you have to find an answer to all the questions listed below. Good luck ;)

• What is major than God?
• What is more vicious than the devil?
• The poor have it!
• The happy people need it!
• When you eat it, you will die!

[Mr. T]

Well, I guess theists believe nothing is major than God, and nothing is more vicious than the devil. The poor has nothing. Happy people need nothing. And when you eat nothing, you'll die.
Even though you can be poor and have more than nothing, be happy but still need stuff etc., I say the answer is "nothing".

if someone wants to set up a new quiz, just go ahead. if nobody adds one, i will set up a new one this evening.

[vish22]

Thats a nice one sven :thumbsup:.the answer to that would be NOTHING,it struck me when I read the line-What is major than god,i thought nothing was and saw that it matched everywhere.Viola..i'm sure that is the answer,or is it?

Here's another one- 1=5;2=12;3=26;4=54;5=x      ok,now what is x equal to?

[SvenF]
