The three DGNr's in the land were brought before Shade Everdark to see which of them were worthy to become his advisor. After passing many tests of cunning and invention, they were pitted against each other in a final battle of the wits.

Led blind-folded into a small room, the DGNrs were seated around a small wooden table as Shade described the test for them.

"Upon each of your heads I have placed a hat. Now you are either wearing a blue hat or a white hat. All I will tell you is this- at least one of you is wearing a blue hat. There may be only one blue hat and two white hats, there may be two blue hats and one white hat, or there may be three blue hats. But you may be certain that there are not three white hats."

"I will shortly remove your blind folds, and the test will begin. The first to correctly announce the colour of his hat shall be my advisor. Be warned however, he who guesses wrongly shall be forced to lick the City Club floor. If not one of you answers within the hour, you will be sent home and I will seek elsewhere for wisdom."

The DGN'r that is "US" saw that the others were suprized/stupified...they were trying to figure out if they had a white hat.

As DGN'r guy...we know that ALL hats can be BLUE and ALL hats cannot be WHITE...

If the other guys are stumped...You've got to arrive to the conclusion of what are they looking at.
