Here are two cases that challenge your systemic & logical thinking.
\nSee if you can solve it, or understand it (since the second cases does not ask for answer).<\/p>\n
They arevery good cases because they require you to understand each small events, and then use this understanding to understand the whole case.<\/p>\n

We ask the person who stands in the back, “What is the color of the cap you’re wearing now?” We ask the person who stands in the middle, “What is the color of the cap you’re wearing now? Then, we ask the person who stands in front, “What is the color of the cap you’re wearing now??” How could this possible?

You are allowed to pray, eat and sleep only.”<\/p>\n “You are not allowed to communicate to each other. You must not speak. You must not use gestures You must not stare to the eyes of your friend.”<\/p>\n After 5 days, the headmaster lines up all the 50 persons in a great hall. He tell them to open their eyes, and says :<\/p>\n “I have marked your forehead with paint that will stay 2 months at your forehead.” “As soon as you know that you have the RED color, you must immediately leave the great hall.

Tidak boleh bicara, berbahasa isyarat. Bahkan tidak boleh memandang mata temanmu.”<\/p>\n Lima hari kemudian, si pemimpin biara meminta mereka berbaris dan menutup mata. “Saya telah menandai dahi kalian dengan cat yg tahan 2 bulan.” “Siapa pun yg di dahinya ada MERAH silakan pulang. Kamu hanya boleh pulang pas tengah malam.”<\/p>\n Pertayaannya. Diasumsikan tidak ada cermin, pantulan air yg bisa membantu melihat warna di dahi ya. Ajaib-nya, semua yang dahinya merah benar-benar pulang di suatu hari sebelum 60 hari.<\/p>\n Bagaimana bisa?<\/p>\n Tip :<\/p>\n Lebih mudah kalau sudah bisa jawab case 1.

\n<\/span>
\nThree persons stand in line (like in queuing), and look at the same direction.
\nThe person at the back can see the two persons in front of him\/her.
\nBut the person in front cannot see persons behind him\/her.<\/p>\n
\nThen, for each person, a cap\/hat is placed on the head.
\nThen, they open their eyes.
\nThey are told that there are THREE RED caps and TWO BLUE caps<\/span>.
\nBut only THREE caps are put in their head.<\/p>\n
\nThe person replies, “I don’t know.”<\/p>\n
\nThe person replies, “I don’t know.”<\/p>\n
\nThe person replies, “I know… it is [beep]<\/span>”<\/p>\n
\nAnd.. do you know what color of caps for each person now?<\/p>\n
\nWhen people answer to a question, of course the answer matters.
\nBut, you need to understand the reason why he\/she answers that way.<\/p>\n
\nThe headmaster told the 50 monks to close their eyes.
\nThen, the headmasters mark each person’s forehead with paint.<\/p>\n
\n“Of course you cannot see what color is in your forehead. But I have marked RED color for the ones who fail, and BLUE for the ones who succeed.<\/span>”
\n“I will not tell you how many people are failing, but not all of you<\/span> are becoming senior monks.”<\/p>\n
\nLet’s assume that there is no way they can see their own forehead (no mirror, no clear water).
\nAmazingly, at certain midnight (in the period of two months), all monks with RED color in their forehead will leave the great hall at the same time.<\/p>\n
\nIt is easier if you have solved the first case.
\nThis time, it is not what people say.
\nIt is what they know or what they think.<\/p>\n
\nMereka lalu diminta buka mata dan diberi tahu bahwa ada LIMA topi. TIGA berwarna MERAH, dan DUA berwarna BIRU.
\nTapi hanya TIGA yang dipakai untuk ditaruh di kepala mereka.<\/p>\n
\nJawabnya, “Saya tidak tahu.”<\/p>\n
\nJawabnya, “Saya tidak tahu.”<\/p>\n
\nWalau tidak bisa lihat siapa-siapa, dia menjawab, “Tahu! Warna topi saya [beep]”<\/p>\n
\nSi pemimpin biara lantas memberikan tanda dengan cat di dahi setiap calon biksu.
\nDia lalu meminta semua buka mata, dan lalu berkata:<\/p>\n
\n“Tentu kamu tidak bisa melihat apa warna cat di dahi kamu. Tapi saya sudah tandai yang MERAH adalah yang gagal dan harus pulang, yang BIRU, boleh terus tinggal”
\n“Saya tidak bisa kasih tahu ada berapa yang gagal, tapi TIDAK SEMUA dari kamu jadi biksu”<\/p>\n
\nKali ini bukan apa yang mereka katakan, tapi apa yang mereka pikirkan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
