f. Hi* CA** 1 & ■■■■ •■■■-'■• 1 [! V 4 v A certain provincial rugby executive in the Old Country was - | I'1 ' \ ence faced with the necessity of selecting a captain. There were I ji \ three aspirants for the honour and as the members were not unan- | ijj imous in the matter, it was decided to leave it entirely in the ! I, hands of the chairman. Wishing to be quite fair to all parties, |i f the chairman sent for the three aspirants and stated that he had II (: devised a problem to settle the matter. $ ;i' 'ti "I propose to blindfold the three of you," he continued, I ; V "after which I shall place on each of your heads a paper 1 h \ hat which shall be of one of two colours—red or black— I " % the team's colours." i n * v ' ■■ ■ ■'. |!j S. "When I remove the blindfolds, each man will be able | i\ 1 . to see the hats on the other two, but not his own. I want j!1 ||, each man that can see a'black hat to raise his hand, and > ' I ; ' then lower.it if he can determine the colour of the hat j b on his own head from the actions of the other two men. ij' I' The man who first lowers his hand and states the colour ?| ii ■ of his own hat correctly shall be the team's captain!" | I The blindfolds were applied and a hat placed on each man. I j,l When the blindfolds were removed, three hands were raised almost !|| ! simultaneously and remained raised for some time. After about five f \ minutes had elapsed Dick James, one of the aspirants, slowly lowered j i; his hand, stated the colour of his hat correctly, and was elected I 1 ■ ' >, ' . ■ captain. • ■ •! r » * ■■■-■■ 1 ji s "What colour was Dick's hat, and how could he tell for certain?" j i The Solution of the Problem will be in the j "SPORTS POST"!
