Quiz #3

John, Johnny, Johnson, Joe decided to play a game.

There are 5 hats on the hat rack. 3 white and 2 green.

John pointed to the 5 hats, then lined up his companions in a single file facing forward. John then placed a hat on the head of each of his friends, put the spare hats out of sight, and asked, "Tell me what colour hat is you are wearing?"

Johhny, who was last in the line and could see only the two men in front of him said, "I don't know."

Johnson, who was in the middle and could see only the man in front of him said, "I don't know either."

Joe, who was in the front and could see nobody, smiled wryly and said, "It is abundantly clear to me that I am wearing a ___ coloured hat."


What colour hat did Joe have on his head and how did he know?
