"3 prisoners (lets call them X, Y & Z) who are being punished are buried neck deep-riddle"

The middle (y) prisoner will guess the right way.
Why?
cause he does know, that Z will see his and x'ses Hats, and Z will see a black and a red hat, so Z cannot draw the conclusion what hat he is wearing.
so Y must wear another colour than X, and since he can see X' hat he can for sure tell, what hat he is wearing.

Here's another one

There are 100 coins on a table, of which 26 show heads and the 74 show tails. You are now blindfolded and asked to separate the coins into 2 stacks such that each stack contains equal number heads. How do you do this?

Conditions:
1. While blindfolded you can flip any number of coins, ie change heads to tails or tails to heads.
2. You cannot feel and find out whether it is heads or tails.
3. You cannot place coins on their side.

And I'm not sure if it's because this is the internet, or because he had prior knowledge, but rtbchef actually was right. The reason given is that the middle sheep is on a hill in the middle of the meadow (must be a pretty steep one), but a tree stump could also work.

I ask this question a lot, because it seems so obvious as soon as you think of it geometrically, and yet I've never had anyone in person answer it correctly. There's one guy I should still try, because he's very intelligent, but you'd be surprised how intelligent minds can somehow not think about it in that way. :)

Ok so first you need to split them into 2 groups. One group of 26 and the other of 74. Then you flip the whole group of 26 onto the other side. You will get the same amount in both groups but you wont know what that number is.

Eg. If in the group of 26 you have 10 heads and 16 tails that means that in the other group you must have 16 heads and 58 tails. If you flip all of the ones in the first group you will get 16 heads in both groups.

Sixth Puzzle (By arjunzv8):
"3 prisoners (lets call them X, Y & Z) who are being punished are buried neck deep in sand in a straight line such that
1. X cannot see anyone.
2. Y can see only X.
3. Z can see both X & Y.

A hat is placed on each of their head but they cannot see the hat on their head and they cannot speak to each other.
They are informed there are 5 hats of which 3 are Black and 2 are White. Out of these, 3 are selected and placed on each of their head. They have one try to guess the color of the hat on their head, if they guess correctly, they will be set free.

In this particular case the hats were placed as stated below
1. X has white hat
2. Y has black hat
3. Z has black hat

One person guesses correctly. Who and how?
Do assume all the prisoners are smart, this is important."
