With This Hat, Youre Hired!
RAY: Go ahead, man.
TOM: 'No one will be at a disadvantage.'
RAY: Exactly.
TOM: And if any of the hats was white, then somebody would be at a disadvantage, the guy with the white hat.
RAY: Exactly because he would look at two black hats.
TOM: And they wouldn't. The other two guys would be seeing a white and a black and they would immediately know.
RAY: Exactly.
TOM: And so, if no one is going to be at a disadvantage, all the hats have to be black.
RAY: You got it.
TOM: Exactly. They should have known the answer when he was explaining it.
RAY: Well, the truth is none of those knuckleheads got the job because that's exactly right.
TOM: Yeah. They were all dopes.
