Three
Hats Puzzle
The Puzzle:
Three people enter a room and have a green or blue
hat placed on their head. They cannot see their own hat, but can see the other
hats.
The color of each hat is purely random. All hats could be green, or blue, or 1 blue and 2 green, or 2 blue and 1 green.
They need to guess their own hat color by writing it on a piece of paper, or they can write "pass".
They cannot communicate with each other in any way once the game starts. But they can have a strategy meeting before the game.
If at least one of them guesses correctly they win $50,000 each, but if anyone guess incorrectly they all get nothing.
What strategy would give the best chance of success?
(Hint: 100% chance of success is not possible.)

Ministers
and King Puzzle
A king decided to replace on of his ministers without
causing too hard feelings. He summoned the minister and asked him to choose one
of two folded notes. The king explained that one of the notes says "You
are fired" and the other states "You stay." However, the
minister found out from a trusted spy that both notes actually say "You
are fired." What can the minister do to save his post?
Triplets
Puzzle
The Puzzle:
Three sisters are identical triplets. The oldest by
minutes is Sarah, and Sarah always tells anyone the truth. The next oldest is
Sue, and Sue always will tell anyone a lie. Sally is the youngest of the three.
She sometimes lies and sometimes tells the truth.
Victor, an old friend of the family's, came over one day and as usual he didn't know who was who, so he asked each of them one question.
Victor asked the sister that was sitting on the left, "Which sister is in the middle of you three?" and the answer he received was, "Oh, that's Sarah."
Victor then asked the sister in the middle, "What is your name?" The response given was, "I'm Sally."
Victor turned to the sister on the right, then asked, "Who is that in the middle?" The sister then replied, "She is Sue."
This confused Victor; he had asked the same question three times and received three different answers.
