ummm pretty simple one...ask one of the other two

[pavoratti1180]

its not that hard.if they all have there hands raised then logically they all have red dots.

[eclipse89]

you could not shout out your color in the dark room even if u were sure that the master was setting a fair test because you would not know if all the dots were red or if they were all blue until u saw the other 2.

um. i feeling stupid.

couldn't I just ask one of the two others to turn around? if i see a hand in the air "RED" i would shout.

the other "wise" opinions cannot be concrete because they are all based on philosophy, not logic and therefore can be argued till the end of days ... but that's what philosophy is right?

it is not mentioned in the puzzle all of them shud come out frm d room together.. if they are wiser .. first two will come out.... now u got what i mean to say..

[jinkun]

The correct answer is not a colour but this what colour is the dot on his own forehead because the grand master said "The one who says what colour is the dot on his own forehead first, wins" so therefore the grand master was the wisest among them just thought i'd point that out.

Since blue is reflected more than red, all they had to do was lean the side of their head against the wall to see the reflection of either red or blue. Also, red paint is heaver than blue, so the guy could probably tell easily by its weight on his forehead--duh!

what if one them being more wise realised that the one © who supposedly answered correctly, was basing his answer on the fact that the other two were staling and then in his wiseness witheld any answer and led (C ) to thinking he was correct and answer with the reasoning that the other did not know thus eliminating himself.

you only have one dot on your head and therefore cannot compare the weights of the two , and cant conclude which is the heavier if you cannot compare them. interesting but wouldnt realy help you in this situation.
