Harry, Jack and Fred were seated so that Harry could see Jack and Fred, Jack could only see Fred, and Fred could not see anyone. Then, from a bag which contained two white caps and three black caps (the contents of the bag were known to the boys), they took out and each put on a cap of an unknown color, and the other two hats remained in the sack.
