White and Black Hat Puzzle

Posted by Atul Bhatia on August 13, 2008

Hey friends!!

I recently came across a puzzle in my discreet mathematic course. I liked the puzzle a lot and would like to share that with you. It goes this way :-

There is one king and his council include some members. Every member wears a hat that can be of white or black color. Nobody can see the color of his/her own cap but can see the color of other’s cap. Number of times the king comes to council is equal to the number of caps of a particular color(either black or white). It’s the duty of council to inform the king when he arrives in the council for the last time. Council members cannot converse with each other. How will the members of council tell the king that he is there for the last time.
