3 Heads and 5 Hats (Solution)
A shouts that his hat is white.
If A and B’s hats were black, then C would immediately call out white, knowing that there are only 2 black hats. Given 59 seconds have passed, A knows that is not the case.
If A’s hat was black, B knows that if his hat was also black, C would call out white, as stated above. Given 59 seconds have passed and B hasn’t done that, A’s hat must not be black.
