The instructions:
Hitler has put 4 Jews to a test. 4 prisoners have been given a hat. They don't know what color their own hat is but they know there are 2 green ones and 2 red ones all together. The one behind the wall cannot see anyone's hat. Neither can the one facing the wall. The middle person can see the one facing the wall and the last person the see the two people in front of him.
Hitler tells them that if one of them find out what color their hat is they all get to live. They must explain there reason for the color of their hat. They are not allowed to communicate in any way.
After an hour one of them raises there hand and tells him the reason.
This riddle requires logic.

Here is my logic:
Hitler would not test any Jews. Hitler would be too busy with political things and planning attacks and captures. It would be the Nazis or the S.S. that did the tests and ran the concentration camps... So there is no logical or illogical answer... SUCK IT! (I'll give you your damned "Logical" explanation soon)

question : are they allowed to speak?
if they are, the leftmost person tells the person infront and the person infront of that their hat colors, the guy rightmost, that means the leftmost and rightmost impossible to tell, only way they can is guess the pattern, which they know is ? G R ?, which could be either R G R G or G G R R
idk ._.
//edit: the guy above me is smart

If they are allowed to speak:
The second from left would be the first. The first person knows that the two in front of him are wearing different color hats, and the second person knows that the person in front of him is wearing a red hat, making it so that he knows he's wearing a green hat.

I am definitely a smart cookie but, also... This is really racist...
Simple answer: The supposed "Hitler" is color blind.... He can't tell the difference between the colors so he thinks they are right... Or he is just scared of us being better than him (I'm a Jew... Fucktard )...

The guy on the far right knocked on the wall in morse code.. He knocked that he had a green hat... This was a very common practice among the captured Jews during WWII and the Holocaust, they used it instead of talking... Most Nazis (and "Hitler") had no clue about morse code so they couldn't translated. The reason is because... Actually... With the given information this is seemingly impossible ...

Easy.
The one in the middle facing the wall would speak first. If he had the same color hat as the person in front of him, then the person behind him would know the color of his hat (opposite of the color of the two people in front of him) and raise his hand first. Since the last person facing the wall never raised his hand, the person in the middle knew his was the opposite color of the hat in front of him.

They were not allowed to Communicate in ANY kind of form.
Anyway I'm going to bed now and will post the answer in about 10 hours.
~Good luck!

The jew's aren't the prisoners and can see the 4 prisoners, they just waited for an hour for a long dramatical pause.

i think that the 3 jews on the left side on the wall could see each other's hats
and since they all know that there are 2 green and 2 red hats, the guy on the other side of the wall should obviously be wearing a green hat...
