The Muddy Children Puzzle

Finish your study of logic with puzzles where you must draw conclusions based on what other people can infer from information they are given. Your first example is the “muddy children” puzzle, in which children with muddy faces must conclude with logical certainty—without looking in a mirror, feeling their faces, or being told—that they have muddy faces. Such puzzles are unusually subtle.
