This one is probably going to be very easy for some of you but here goes....
A young enterprising stockbroker interviewed three candidates for position of clerk. Since all three were equally suitable he decided to give them a test of logic. All three were scrupulously honest, so when they were asked to close their eyes while he put a hat on each of their heads, they did not cheat in order to see the hat they were wearing.
Ordering them to open their eyes he explained that he may have put on top hats or bowlers, but whoever saw a bowler hat was to raise a hand. All three put up a hand. The winning candidate, the stockbroker explained, would be the first to infer correctly whether he was wearing a bowler or top hat, providing he was able to prove it.
