I have heard this riddle before and you are actually missing an important part to solve it - so whoever has solved this has cheated and used google.

You need to give the color of Alan's hat in the riddle and Bertrand will answer the opposite of that.


Answer:
They are standing in this order -- CECIL - BERTRAND - ALAN (Cecil can see Bertrand/Alan, Betrand can see Alan, Alan cant see anyone)

If Alan and Bertrand had the same color hat then Cecil would answer the opposite color.  Therefore after no answer for a minute Bertrand knows his is the opposite of Alan's.

You don't need to know the colour of Alan's hat.

If Alan and Bertrand had the same color hat then Cecil would answer the opposite color.  Therefore after no answer for a minute Bertrand knows his is the opposite of Alan's.

That's the answer.

I suppose thats true.  I must admit when I first did that riddle it took me ages to figure it out.

I'm pretty sure it's lead.

thats incorrect

the correct answer is graphite.

FOH... Dave even said it was right.  ::)

The source I got it from said lead, soooooo

Was going to say the same thing Holz. Pencil's contain graphite, not lead ;)

Riddle #11

A man walks into a pub and simply orders a water. The bar tender simply looks at the man, grabs a shotgun, and points it at the man's face. The man says, "Thank you" gets up, and walks out of the pub. Why did they behave this way?

[Nige]

He had hiccups.

Old but classic one that.

Correct Nige

Riddle #12

You hear it speak, for it has a hard tongue. But it cannot breathe, for it has not a lung.
What is it?

[Toga]

I've been told to guess :P

The only thing I can think of with the "tongue" reference that makes a noise that isn't living... A bell?

[GoLions]

CORRECT!
