Hats & Persons

  • A, B & C are 3 persons standing in straight line.
  • A can see B & C
  • B can see C & not A.
  • C is standing facing the wall & can't see both A & B.
  • There is a bag with 3 black hats & 2 white hats.
  • Randomly the hats are picked & placed on the persons.
  • A person doesn't know what hat he/she is wearing.
  • When A is asked for the color of his hat, he sees B & C & says 'I don't know'. B & C analyzes the response with care.
  • When B is asked for the color of his hat, he sees C & says 'I don't know'. C analyzes the response with care.
  • When C is asked for the color of his hat, he says 'I know... It is ____'...

What is C's hat color? How did he find out?
