When three professors are seated in a restaurant, the hostess asks them: "Does everyone want coffee?" The first professor says: "I do not know." The second professor then says: "I do not know." Finally, the third professor says: "No, not everyone wants coffee."
The hostess comes back and gives coffee to the professors who want it. How did she figure out who wanted coffee?

Respuesta :

the first two professors did not know if everyone wanted coffee because the third professor had to choose yes or no if he wanted coffee. the first two professors were waiting for the third to say something, and when he said no, they knew he did not want coffee. if one of the first two professors said no, the answer would be no.
