The last logician will say "Yes" if he wants the scotch too.
Here goes the logic
1. 1st logician answers I don't know because he wants the scotch himself and is not sure the others want it as well.
In other words if the 1st logician didn't want the scotch he could have said no straight away.

  1. 2nd logician just like the 1st wants the scotch but he doesn't know what the 3rd guy wants. So even he replies I don't know.

  2. 3rd guy can now say yes or no depending upon the fact that he prefers scotch as well or not.

Three prisoners tell a warden they have been wrongly convicted and they are mere academic logicians who would never commit a crime. The warden suspects they may be innocent so he offers them a chance at freedom.

The prisoners are lined up facing a brick wall, with person 1 seeing persons 2 and 3, person 2 seeing person 3, and person 3 only seeing the brick wall. The warden explains he has randomly chosen 3 hats from a group of 3 red hats and 2 blue hats. Each prisoner has a hat placed on his head.

enter image description here

The warden says, “If any one of you can deduce your hat color, with proper justification, I will let all of you free. Otherwise you will stay my prisoner.” Then the warden asks each prisoner in turn.

Warden: “Prisoner 1, do you know the color of your hat?”

Prisoner 1: “I do not know.”

Warden: “Prisoner 2, do you know the color of your hat?”

Prisoner 2: “I do not know.”

Warden: “Prisoner 3, do you know the color of your hat?”

Prisoner 3: “I know!”

What was prisoner 3’s hat color, and why?
