Voila Pansy!
Remind me is it an anagram that has something to do with your work, what is your workplace?
No it doesn't have anything to do with my work.
It's just we have a quiz sent through at work every Friday & question 20 is always an anagram of two related items.
I work in a Pansy & Viola Factory by the way.
Heard this one today, which was good.
Four prisoners are arrested for a crime, but the jail is full and the jailer has nowhere to put them. He eventually comes up with the solution of giving them a puzzle so if they succeed they can go free but if they fail they are executed.
The jailer puts three of the men sitting in a line. The fourth man is put behind a screen (or in a separate room). He gives all four men party hats (as in diagram). The jailer explains that there are two red and two blue hats. The prisoners can see the hats in front of them but not on themselves or behind. The fourth man behind the screen can't see or be seen by any other prisoner. No communication between the men is allowed.
If any prisoner can figure out and say (out loud) to the jailer what colour hat he has on his head all four prisoners go free. The puzzle is to find how the prisoners can escape.
Only one prisoner can guess.
Ahah so Viola and Pansy are related 
I'm just glad it's not Pony Saliva!
If B and A are the same colour then C can rightly deduce his is the other one.

Now that I've just looked it up I realise that they are.
I didn't know Viola was a flower as well.
Job done
Cheers.

Nope.
If B hears nothing from C
Then he can deduce that his colour differs to A
Because if C saw two identical colours he would know his own colour.
Quote: Nil Putters @ October 23 2009, 1:19 PM BSTNope.
Well it is not a wrong answer.

Give that man a moustache cigar.
