Again for ur soln, if n is 2 and the numbers are : 2,1
None of them is correct.
My soln was in probabilistic terms. The probability of choosing a number x
from 1 to N is 1/N, however you can give an example where you choose N
numbers without choosing x at all. That is not the right way :)

If all the men gusses the same number then the solution could be wrong.
for example the the value of N is 5 and numbers given are 1,2,1,1,1 and
everybody guesses 4 then the solution is wrong.
A different solution is like - All men will stand in a row and and everybody
can think of his hat number
Hello All,
Since duplicates are allowed, the fact that I can see the number on others
hat is of no significance to me. My guess with this information is as good
without it.
Hence, I will consider the situation as:
I am sitting alone in a dark room and I am given a hat with a number from 1
to N. I
But everyone guesses simultaneously. I take it to mean that no one
knows anyone else's guess when making his own.

way, atleast one guesses it right, since there is no boundation on the
no. of wrong guesses.

is there any clue on the no. of duplicates of a number. say, how many
1's or 2's are present at max.
