THERE ARE THREE KINGS SITTING IN A CIRCLE FACING EACH OTHER. STANDING IS A QUEEN WITH A BOX WITH 3 SILVER CROWNS AND 2 GOLD CROWNS IN IT. THE KINGS ARE AWARE THE 3 SILVER CROWNS AND 2 GOLD CROWNS ARE IN THE BOX. THE QUEEN TELLS THE KINGS TO CLOSE THEIR EYES AND THEN SHE PLACES A SILVER CROWN ON EACH OF THEIR HEADS. SHE THEN TELLS THE KINGS TO OPEN THEIR EYES AND LOOK AT EACH OTHERS CROWNS BUT NOT AT THEIR OWN. THE QUEEN ASKED IF ANY OF THE KINGS CAN TELL WHAT KIND OF CROWN IS ON THEIR HEAD? A MINUTE GOES BY AND THEN FINALLY THE WISEST KING SAYS "I KNOW, MY CROWN IS SILVER." how did he know???:|

he looks at his image in the other king's crown

With the reflection of the crown... one of the kings can see his own crown is silver.... that .. or he looked in the box afterwards

i agree with the reflection

The other two kings smiled because odds are that if the two crowns they see are silver, they must have thought they had the gold crown. It's all in the facial expression.

because there's only one silver crown left in the box.

kiti06 · ‎02-23-2005

Well.. what the answer?

NO REFLECTION BUT THEALIENG IS CLOSEST

Because the other two kings were wearing gold crowns.

The other two kings were wearing the two gold crowns, thus leaving only silver crowns for him.

are you not reading the riddle? She places silver crowns on all 3 of the kings.

Can't think too clearly right now but I think it has to do with what the King dedueces from what the other 2 Kings see or don't see

crcoco is close...

Well, what is the answer then?

dipschnit · ‎02-23-2005

b/c the other two kings are expressing happiness (as though they have a gold crown) b/c the other 2 have silver ones......................hell i dont know
