Re: [algogeeks] Interview Puzzle - 100 Prisoners and Caps
I think this can be answered like dis... let us say that the persons have decided amongst themselves that if the the number of people wearing white in front of dem is even he wud say white and if odd he wud say black Now suppose the 100th person counts the number of hats and finds it to be even... he wud say white... now the 99th person will do the same...if he still finds the number to be even and since the 100th person sed white(i.e even) he would say black...now if the 100th person had sed black (ie odd white) and the count comes out to be even thus 99 wud be wearing a white hat... Now that 98th person knows dat 99 had sed the correct hat and using the same method can say the correct hat color...thus all can be saved except the 100th prisoner... Also note dat the 100th prisoner also has a 50% chance to survive... Hope dis helps :) On Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 10:05 PM, Shubham Maheshwari wrote: > could some1 plz post the xplainations ... > > > On Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 8:04 PM, Pankaj wrote: > >> Chetan, >> >> No. How could you relate this problem with that?

Re: [algogeeks] Interview Puzzle - 100 Prisoners and Caps
In my latest interview I encountered the following puzzle. There are 100 prisoners in the prison. All of them have either black or white cap. Jailer has asked them to stand in the queue such that nth guy can see caps of all the guys standing ahead of him, but he can not see his own cap. It means Guy standing at 100th position can see caps of all other 99 guys. Prisoner standing at 99th position can see caps of rest of 98 guys standing ahead of him. Now jailer proposes to release the guy who can guess correct color of his own cap. Assuming All the prisoner are nice guys ;), who can sacrifice for others, device a method which can help to release maximum number of prisoners.
