To those who were on the anniversary chat to solve and to al lthe others to solve as well:

Three people are caught by some native indians. The indians have five totem, three of which are blue and two of which are red. One person is attached to the first (sees no other totem), one to the second (sees the totem of the first person) and the third person is attached to the third totem (sees the totem of the first and second person). The inidans tell them that they are freed if they say to which totem they are attached to (ie. what color).they are not allowed to speak with each other.

After two hours nobody spoke, after other two hours still nobody and after other two hours someone speaks and they are freed. The question is who speaks and which color has the totem he is attached to?


Hint: two hour is equivalent to one reasoning.
