Alan, Ben, and Cal are seated in a straight line with Alan being in the back and Cal being in the front and Ben in the middle. Their eyes are closed. Diane places a hat on each of their heads from a box they know contains 3 red and 2 blue hats. They open their eyes and look forward.
Alan says, "I cannot deduce what color hat I'm wearing."
Ben says, "I cannot deduce what color hat I'm wearing either."
Cal then says, "I know what color I'm wearing!"
What color hat is Cal wearing? Explain how he knows what color he is wearing.
