When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.

Tyrants from Hitler to Mao to Stalin have sought to disarm their own citizens, for the simple reason that unarmed people are easier to control.

Lol nice riddle. Might help if someone knew the answer.

There are 4 people. They are wearing black and white hats. They are lined up like this  :) :) :)| :).
| is a brick wall. They are all facing the brick wall and can only see the people in front of them. They can't speak and have one chance to guess what colored hat they're wearing. If they don't guess it, they will die. After one minute, one of them is positive about what color their hat is. Who guessed it and how?

I was always told that it was your voice, but gaze is a good answer too.



Are the hats white and black, or can a hat be black or white?

The hat can be black, white, or black and white


(I'm a visual thinker)


Edit; I feel stupid I thought Gallipoli-China's post was in-itself a riddle.

in answer to the 4 people with the wall between riddle #1 sees a white and a black hat in front of him. He cannot tell what hat he is wearing, so he keeps his mouth shut. If #1 saw two black hats, he would know that he was wearing a white hat. Because #1 does not say anything, #2 knows that #1 must see a black and a white hat. #2 sees a black hat and therefor he knows that he himself wears a white hat. Thats the version i answered.
