Its a very simple puzzle which just needs a click in your brain. Lets see if it works for you...
In the central jail of a remote town, 3 innocent prisoners(say A, B and C) were chosen among various others. The cruel jailor told them to sit on three chairs kept one after another in such a way that C can see both man A and man B, man B can see only man A, and man A can see none of the other men. Now the jailor shows them 5 hats out of which 2 are black and 3 are white. Now he blindfolds the prisoners and put one hat on each of the prisoner's head. Now the blindfolds are removed and the jailor tells that if anyone of them will be able to determine the color of his hat within one minute without looking at his own head and looking backwards, all of you will be released. Otherwise you all will be executed. After 59 seconds, the first prisoner A shouts out the (correct) color of his hat.
Can you guess what was his answer and how did he conclude to it?
