HATS

Shown above are 4 men buried up to their necks in the ground. They can not move so can only look forward. Between A and B is a brick wall which can not be seen through. They know that between them are 4 hats, 2 black and 2 white, but they do not know which colour they are wearing. In order to avoid being eaten by the man-eating bacteria, one of them must call out to the dungeon master the colour of their hat. If they get it wrong, everyone will be eaten! They are not allowed to talk to each other and have 10 minutes to fathom it out. After 1 minute: Question: Which one of them calls out? Question: Why is he 100% certain of the colour of his hat? This is not a trick question. There are no outside influences or other ways of communicating. They can not move and are buried in a straight line. So A & B can only see their respective sides of the brick wall, C can see B and D can see B & C.
