Maybe hackers from before like 2013. Almost all passwords are stored as hashes now. And changing 1 character can create a completely different hash
@Yashmaharshi1 Says:
You Didn't tell they don't know their own color!
@user-uw7cr4os4r Says:
Servers don't check passwords character by character, they check if the hash matches. More misinformation from Veritasium 😔️
@bluejay6167 Says:
I got to 'B' by a different route. 'C' and 'D' can see only a brick wall, so they have no information that would let them answer with certainty. 'A' sees one black hat and one white hat, which gives 'A' only a 50/50 guess—not enough to know the answer for certain.
So, since 'A,' 'C,' and 'D' couldn’t know their own hat colors with 100% certainty, 'B' was the only viable choice. I didn’t immediately see how 'B' could know their hat color; I got there by process of elimination.
If I had spent more time thinking through why 'B' was correct, I probably would’ve worked it out—but I need a little more time to let these puzzles marinate. I’m not that fast.
@RayosMcQueen Says:
The middle amigo B realizes the amigo in the back A does not know the color of his hat which must mean that B’s hat is the opposite color of the hat of amigo C in front of him.
He shouts Black
@TheOneTrueCHEEZE Says:
the real simple is snapping your neck to look at the boi behind you and then you know also A and B could know since A if two infront are sane he get right if not then B is right but if C is blind you all die
@BUPETA3351 Says:
Veritasium is a faint shadow of what it used to be. This guy can't even explain what the riddle is 😢
@steelymanfan7276 Says:
There are two white hats and two black hats, if A saw that the two people in front of him were wearing white hats he'd know his hat was black, B notices this and concludes that his hat is black.
@TheNFLisScripted Says:
How does B know A isn't wearing a black hat and D is wearing a white hat?
@filmfan4 Says:
The man in the middle of the 3, because he realises that if the guy behind could see two of one colour, he would have known his hat colour instantly, "Therefore," man in the middke resaons, "I must have a hat that's a different colour thsn the one in front of me.
@FlatFishToken Says:
Very similar to a Ted Ed video I know…

Don’t look Up
@insertnamehere999 Says:
I feel so smart ☺️
@joshuamwathi Says:
How did he determine what hat the prisoner behind him had? From the logic, he could only deduct his hat plus see the hat of the person right in front of him
@Win090949 Says:
Before I watch the answer.
B doesn’t know if his hat is white or black, but he knows C’s hat is white, and A can see both B’s and C’s hat. If B’s hat was white, A would’ve seen both white hats and immediately know that his hat was black. Instead, A remained silent. This led B to realize that A has to be seeing one hat of each color, and thus deduce correctly that his hat is black. B shouts his hat’s color, everyone goes free.
@albina9665 Says:
After B answered C can guess his color. But A and D have not a chance. Am I right?
@Nikk9o-SOS Says:
Obviously all of them take their hats off and throw them with their mouths so all 4 can see the hats
@GotEmAll1337 Says:
The setup question for this riddle was not sufficient... you have to make the assumption that the prisoners knew they would only be two of each color.
@ajguevara6961 Says:
It was B, saying he was wearing a black hat, because he realized that a minute passed and the person behind him didn't say anything. He knows person A him can see both him and person C, and he can see that the person in front of him is wearing a white hat. If he were wearing a white hat, person A would have seen that the two people in front of him were wearing white hats, making it certain he was wearing a black hat, but since person A didn't say anything, that must have meant that his own hat was black.
@jamesanderson2136 Says:
Okay, but how do A, C and D escape without talking?😂
@ponenik1691 Says:
How was i supposed to know that A can se C when you said ”they can only see the person in front”
@Enjyko_0 Says:
Intuitively... a, because he can see the pattern
@PotatoChipsNommer Says:
I thought of shaking my head until the hat falls off but okay
@starship727 Says:
I think they also have this riddle in Ted-ed
@ambrotose Says:
This is a terrible riddle. The solution doesnt live in the problem. It relies on the subjective decision making in one of the prisoners.
@hassanabba4469 Says:
Ok hacking now

I miss the dislike button.
@ChristIsKing174 Says:
THIS IS WHY WE HASH AND SALT PASSWORDS BEFORE STORIKG THEM
@arnavnagshetti9730 Says:
The hats are so big u could even see ur hat colour just by looking up
@Walmartasorus Says:
what kinda cowboy doesn't know the color of his own hat? A would see the other two and clearly know the answer.
@andrewd374 Says:
This riddle isn't really solvable because it's based on a false premise, that being that at least 2 of the 4 aren't completely worthless morons. If your riddle's premise isn't based in reality, you need to state that in the riddle. You've got to be the right amount of naive and stupid to come up with that answer.
@SpiritHawkGlazer Says:
I feel bad for prisonner D wondering wtf is happening on the other side
@F17A Says:
Only works if A isn’t a complete idiot
@Quiyum Says:
First time I got a riddle on my own
@fumeinayuza Says:
Just look up to see the color of your hat
@sukuna0013 Says:
B. A did not yell out a colour, so means B and C have different colours
B sees that C has a white hat.
So he yells BLACK
@GuyDuder Says:
Or you could just feel how much your head heats up since black absorbs light and white reflects it you can also look up or spit to make a small puddle look down and see your hat color
@Manifest_Chakalov Says:
The most logical is A. He has most of the information.
@Rebeca-bt9zx Says:
Does not make sense. How does B now A is white?
@SamuelAbolarinwa Says:
B
@MrHakkitakki Says:
Ok this is me pausing when you told me: Must be B, so hear me out: A can see two hats right. And he sees one of each color. When he saw two hats of the same color in front of him he could guess with 100% certainty that he has the other color hat. Since he doesnt say this, means to B that his and C's hat must be a different color. Since he can see C's hat, he can guess that he has the other color then C. In this case Black. Now i will unpause and see the explanation.
Edit after seeing the explanation: somehow i expected a trick question 😂 but i guess i was right.
@smellthel Says:
yay i solved it. it took me like an entire 5 minutes though lol.
@victorAgain00 Says:
B. Is the right answer
@H3R0B3N Says:
B, cuz if A were to see two hats of the same color he would say the opposite, but since he doesn't say anything B can assume his hat is C's opposite color
@IsaiahGenthner-u3z Says:
This doesn't work. Prisoner B is still taking a 50/50 guess on A and D. He can't have certainty beyond that. He doesn't know the answer he is flipping.
@kingdoms_gg8937 Says:
*colour *realised
@FFID-Vercel Says:
But that is all bs here!!!!
@jameskung9808 Says:
I know it’s a puzzle but, could they not just look up at their own hat…?
@Magic-Conk Says:
TERRIBLE setup. Screw your ad based on that.
@Will-bh7kg Says:
What do you mean? You would all be able to see your own hat colour and A would be able to see B and C so the answer should be A. A would be able to see the pattern almost immediately.
