argggggg. i hate it when i type out a long post and then lose it when i click "post".

okay. so basically, i was saying that i love riddles and brain-teasers and i was asking really nicely for you to give me your best/hardest ones.

i'll give you a tough one to keep you busy, if you have obsessive tendancies, don't attempt this brain teaser, it's pretty hard:

dr. evil searched through time and space to assemble the 100 smartest people of all time. he threw either a black or white hat on each genius and locked them in a large, bare room. each person is unable to see the color of his/her own hat, but can clearly see everyone else's hat color. dr. evil then states, "if you can figure out what color hat you yourself are wearing, i'll release you back into the world. you are not allowed to communicate in any way, shape or form (no words, no body language, no suggestive eye contact, nothing.). i will enter this room everyday, one time, and ask if anyone has figured it out. if no one speaks up, i will leave and return the following day. if you guess incorrectly, you will die a horrible death. have a nice day. oh, and there's at least one person with a black hat and at least one person with a white hat. goodbye."

each prisoner wants oh-so-bad to live and since they're really really really smart, they won't answer unless they're absolutely sure they have the correct response. how do these geniuses solve this problem?

there're no tricks here. no mirrors, no play-on-words... just pure logic. it's hard. even the answer is difficult to explain.

don't forget to give me your best puzzles.
