4 Criminals Puzzle: Black and White Hats prisoner Puzzle, Who Will Shout First?

Answer:  Man 2 will shout out after some time.

Solution:

Correct Answer:  Man 2 will shout out after some time.

Explanation:

Here's why: Man 3 and 4 cannot see the other hats.
Man 1 sees a white hat and a black hat and knows his hat can be black or white.
Man 2 sees one black hat , but if he is also wearing a black hat, it would be obvious to Man 1 that he is wearing a white hat. Since Man 1 did not shout out, Man 2 concluded that he himself is wearing a white hat.
