Sometimes things work 100% of the time. The fact that you quoted Spock on perhaps the grandest blanket statement of all time actually makes it even worse. |

hopefully those that didn't get it will understand one of the solutions provided - these types of questions are not only good for the brain but they provide insight into a thinking process. if you've ever done myers-briggs or DIsC or something like that it's very interesting to understand where you fall on the spectrum.... if you don't understand it's not an intelligence thing it's just the way people approach problems. |

Your later detailed explanation did a much better job, but your first post (quoted above) was a very flawed argument.

Just saw this. It's actually not too hard.
only combinations are as follow assuming you are the 3rd person: 1: white white white 2: white white black If it's situation 2, person A cannot know what color his/her car is for sure so he/she won't guess to risk losing money. However, person B will know immediately his/her car is white because he/she sees a white and a black. Person B will know for sure his/her car is not black because person A would have given the answer already and won. The only answer left is situation 1 which means you are in a white car. |

1) 30 minute window: They are given more than ample to time to think out each scenario. 2) A wrong guess is an automatic loss to the guesser, and automatic win to the other 2. Each person is motivated to be correct and NOT make a 50/50 guess, therefore will run all the logical deductions. The fact that both Jane and Max did not guess within the first 20 minutes means they have thought through the challenge and have deduced that what they see is inconclusive.

20 minutes is a long time to not think about it. Besides, that's not the point of the riddle.

A man is found dead inside a car. The deceased has suffered a gunshot wound to the head. There are no bullet holes in the car or the glass. The windows are up, doors are locked, keys in the ignition and no gun found inside the car. How is this possible?

I think you gave away the answer in the question.
