[Puzzle 005]

[hisapprentice]

Don't worry, everybody who's new! It really doesn't take that long to get used to living here. It's sort of scary actually... But you know, I've been here for a few "experiments" now and it's really not that bad!

There are a few people to watch out for, I suppose.

...Does anybody want to hear a puzzle? Oh, or, does anybody know a good puzzle? I'd love to hear a few from other worlds! Sometimes I feel like I've done all the puzzles on Earth already, and I'm not even that old...

Ah, that's a good point. [Well that wasn't quite the answer Sabriel had been hoping for but she is still a little curious about the rest of his message. With a small smile she offers.]

My name is Sabriel. Would you be able to share a puzzle with me instead?

[hisapprentice]

I'm Luke! [Yes of course he will share a puzzle. To do otherwise would be so ungentlemanly.]

Mr. Red, Mr. White, and Mr. Green were going to lunch together. One wore a red hat, one wore a white hat, and one wore a green hat. "I say, Mr. Green!" said the man in the red hat, "Have you noticed that none of us are wearing the hat with a color that matches our name?"

What color hat is each man wearing?

[thebellthatbinds]

It's nice to meet you Luke. [Humming softly at the puzzle she rubs her chin as she thinks it out.]

Now...hm, if Red-hat is speaking to Mr. Green that means Mr. Green's hat must be white since the red-hat is already accounted for so Mr. Red...would be wearing a green-hat which reveals the red-hat owner to be Mr. White...?

[That makes sense right? She didn't fuddle anything?]

[hisapprentice]

You've got it!

Of course, if they're gentleman they'll probably have to take their hats off during their meal.

[thebellthatbinds]

Naturally, any gentleman would know to do that. [Hurray she got it right!]

Now I've got a little riddle for you, "if you have it you want to share it, but if you share it you haven't got it." What is it?

[hisapprentice]

It sort of sounds like a secret to me.

[thebellthatbinds]

And you'd be right. Well done.

Do you collect word puzzles Luke?

[hisapprentice]

I like all sorts of puzzles!

What about you?

[thebellthatbinds]

I'm as fond as any for a good riddle or even a piece of poetry. We used to be tested on reciting them in the College.
