    Yet another riddle

    Oops, you are right. I didn't get it in the first place, so I wrote down this table:

    Code:
    BBB
    WBB   
    BBW   B
    BWB
    BWW   A
    WBW   B
    WWB
    The table lists all possible sticker combinations. If the 3-letter-combination is followed by another letter, then this letter denotes the dwarf that says the right answer. What I didn't see was the fact that every combination that is not answered by A or B ends with "black", so if A and B remain silent, C knows that his hat is black. Stupid me.

    Greets,
    Philip

    All things begin as source code.
    Source code begins with an empty file.
