In that case...

Three men are taken out of prison by the king, because he wants to give the smartest one the chance to get out. He puts them in a line, and they all face in the same direction. (One man can't see the one behind them.) The king then puts a hat on each of the prisoner's heads. The hats are:
<--Men-are-facing-this-way--- Black White Black
Then the king says, "I have put a hat on your head. The hat's color is either black or white. All of your hats are NOT the same color. You may not talk or communicate with each other in any way whatsoever.
So, after a few minutes, where all three of the men did not move, speak, or communicate, the man in the middle spoke up. He said, "My hat is white." He did not guess. How did he figure out his hat color?
My best riddle.. nobody can solve it >:3
Aha! Accidentally found the answer while looking at a riddle site.
The white hat guy (which I will now refer to as WHG) knew the answer because the guy behind him didn't say anything. If the WHG and the guy infront of him had the same color hat, the guy from his back would say something. But the guy behind him didn't know. So WHG knew that the guy infront of him had a black hat, and since they all had different colored hats, he now knew that he was the one with the white hat.
P.S. I'm sure about this, so:

You want to buy something from a store. It costs 97 dollars. You borrow 50 dollars from your father and you borrow another 50 from you mother. You go and buy it. You get 3 dollars as change. You give 1 dollar to your father, and 1 dollar to your mother. Now you owe them 49 dollars each. Yet, 49 + 49 is 98, add the one you have, 99. So where's the other dollar that made it 100?
