If red, the solution is BR BR BR... and there is no way to determine the solution. Are you sure that is the EXACT question? |
If it's BR BR BR. You can actually solve the question without even picking up a hat.
Because you know there are 3 blue hats and 3 red hats.
Meaning not a single box could be labeled BR. Meaning you'd end up with 4 blue hats or 4 red hats when you counted up the "lies" as every one would need to be BB, RR and BR.
