The King has just summoned you into his chamber along with his other two top
spies. He says he has a special assignment of utmost importance for one 
person. He has summoned you three and must now determine which of you is the 
most worthy. He says that he has five hats, 3 are black and two are white.
One hat is placed on each persons head leaving two unidentified hats left over.
The question now is to determine which color hat you have on your head. If you
guess wrong you will be beheaded. If you guess right and succeed in your spy
mission, fame and fortune will be yours. The King asks the first man. The 
first man thinks a little and says he cannot tell. The King asks the second
man and he also cant tell. Now the King asks you what color is your hat.
You of course reply with the correct answer even though you are blind and the
others arent. What color hat did you have on?
