HAPPY FRIDAY RIDDLE! Guess The Color Of Your Car?

[delmarco]

A variation of a popular riddle that includes a couple of BMW 3 series and a Benz or two.

Enjoy.

[upstatedoc]

white

[Banana Hammock]

Black

[TheWatchGuy]

red

lemme know when i can spoil the fun

[Ritter]

Mine is black sapphire metallic

[DieselOG]

You are in a white car

[Mingwan]

I’d say white since no one can see the color of the car they are in, yet can see color of the car the other two people are in. Based on the picture of the cars, you can’t see reflections on the white cars, but can see reflections on the black one. So I would guess no one had a black car.

[Maynard]

Your car has to be white (no tricky reflecto work needed, it's a certainty). Don't want to spoil it for others with my rationale 'til tomorrow.

[Habs11]

If you see two blacks, means two whites were taken away, you know you are in white - that didn't happen

If you see a black and a white, means two whites were taken away or a black and a white were taken away - but that didn't happen

If you see two whites, means two blacks were taken away or a black and a white were taken away - know from above that a black and a white were not taken away so two blacks were taken away

So, give me my white car

Truly faulty logic, but intriguing (paralogic), even if it did lead you to the correct answer. All you know from what you can see is that 2 whites remain, with a 33% chance yours is also white.

[Mingwan]

And here I am looking at reflections and shit lmao

[Teeone]

Since the Mercedes were black and the bmws were white, your car is the color of whichever nameplate interior you had

It's not bases on probability - think about what you see, how that could have resulted and what the other people see....... this logic will get you too what could not have happened and only leave you with the option that two black cars were removed.

That was my answer too. I would look at the steering wheel and then decide what color it was.

I think you mean 50% chance. There are only two colors!

It is actually ridiculously flawed logic... to the point that I thought you were joking originally.

[RTPenland]

Well like here's like the deal okay? I'm in like a white car...okay?

My logic...like Im a millennial and I have self-identified the color of the car I am sitting in as being white...so like whatever color you may think it is doesn't matter because like I say it's white and you have to accept that.

I'd take the car but I never learned to drive so you can keep it or whatever

[trm0053]

Since you see two white cars, which are BMWs, you're in a BMW dealership. They're not going to sell you a Merc.
So you also are in a BMW which is white

i cant tell if some of these are serious answers and explanations or not

[No one]

Just in case anyone might still take this seriously. It's one of the three cars: two black and one white.

The answer is "white" simply because the dealer wouldn't want to be sued for inequality (especially black and white, perhaps).

[Ickdeep]

Going to use some logic

If anyone gueses wrong, then that player has to buy a car each for the other two players

...
you are driving home in your new car leaving Max and Jane to walk

From that, that means that I (we) must have guessed the right car. We can rule out that either Max or Jane guessed wrong.

that's what I got so far.
