Hint:
Basket Full Of Hats
There is a basket full of hats. 3 of them are white and 2 of them are black. There are 3 men Tom, Tim, and Jim. They each take a hat out of the basket and put it on their heads without seeing the hat they selected or the hats the other men selected. The men arrange themselves so Tom can see Tim and Jim's hats, Tim can see Jim's hat, and Jim can't see anyone's hat.
Tom is asked what color his hat is and he says he doesn't know.
Tim is asked the same question, and he also doesn't know.
Finally, Jim is asked the question, and he does know.
What color is his hat?
Tom is asked what color his hat is and he says he doesn't know.
Tim is asked the same question, and he also doesn't know.
Finally, Jim is asked the question, and he does know.
What color is his hat?
Hint:
The hat is white. If Tom doesn't know his hat color then the other two men's hats cannot be both black otherwise he would know his is white. When Tim doesn't know his hat color either, that means Jim's hat could not be black otherwise Tim would have to know his hat was white to fulfill the information discovered through Tom's answer.

Hint:
Redmonds Runs Riddle
During a baseball game in Redmond, John was Redmonds lead-off batter. There were no substitutions or changes in the Redmond batting order at all during the nine-inning game. John came to bat in every inning. What is the least number of runs Redmond could have scored?
Hint:
Zero. In the first inning John and the next two batters walk and the next three strike out. In the second inning, the first three walk again, which brings John back to bat. But each runner is caught off base by the pitcher, so John is back at the plate at the start of the third inning. This pattern is now repeated until the game ends with no joy in Redmund, even though the mighty John never once strikes out. Did you answer this riddle correctly?

The Crazy Batter Riddle

Hint:
Bat And Ball Riddle
Hint: The answer isn't 10 cents.
Here's the solution:
Although $1.00 + $0.10 does equal $1.10, if you take $1.00 $0.10 you get $0.90, but the problem requires that the bat costs $1 more than the ball.
So, the ball must cost $0.05, and the bat must cost $1.05 since $1.05 + $0.05 = $1.10
---
Still not convinced? You can use algebra to solve the problem:
First, lets set up the equation:
x + ($1.00 + x) = $1.10
$1.00 + 2x = $1.10
2x = $1.10 $1.00
2x = $0.101
Finally, solve for x:
x = $0.05
Check your work:
x + ($1.00 + x) = $1.10, so
$0.05 + ($1.00 + $0.05) = $1.10 Did you answer this riddle correctly?
