And yes, as kluchetta explained in a much more mathematical way, the guy at the back says red if the number of red hats is even, and blue if its odd. The others use what he says and what they can see to work out what colour their own hat is.
Cheylink gets a prize! I've been playing Mario Galaxy a lot recently, and he is wearing a hat. So now you have one!

Crap! I didn't want to have to think of one...

It was a guess, but I did know the multiply by 11 rule, so I was thinking that's what it was.

OK, here goes...

To solve the puzzle, think of a single word that goes with each to form a compound word (or word pair that functions as a compound word). For example, if the given words are volley, field, and bearing, then the answer would be ball, because the word ball can be added to each of the other words to form volleyball, ballfield, and ball bearing.

corn
winner
sweet

Hope i'm not doing this out of turn, but here's a riddle:

The maker dosen't want it. The buyer dosen't use it. The user dosen't see it.
