Puzzle 13

There are ten dwarfs in a dark cave. Inside the cave are ten hats (five red and five blue), but the dwarfs do not know how many of the ten hats are red or blue. Each dwarf takes a hat and must leave the cave and then organize themselves in separate groups of red- and blue-hatted dwarfs. If there is one dwarf with a wrong-colored hat in the wrong group - all dwarfs explode, sadly.

Remember, the dwarfs do not know how many of the ten hats are colored red and blue. They also do not know what color hat they have on their head. They are also not allowed to communicate with one another in any way once they leave the cave. The dwarfs can come out individually or as a group. The dwarfs are smart and discuss a fool-proof way in the cave to divide their group into red-hatted and blue-hatted dwarfs. What is it?

Arvind Kejriwal to be sworn in as Delhi CM today

And the day has arrived finally ....

One year old Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) leader Shri Arvind Kejriwal(AK) is to be sworn in as Chief Minister of Delhi today at Ramlila Maidan. 45-year old AK is the youngest CM of Delhi. More than 100,000 people are expected to attend this ceremony at Ramlila which is being held in public. AK is expected to take Delhi metro train from his house to the venue. Now that's a people's CM.

Just a few months back, other political parties had dismissed AAP saying they are not a true political party and wont be able to win more than 4-5 seats in Delhi. After winning 28 seats in Delhi and now forming the government, AK and his party has brought a political revolution in India.
 
It sure is a historic day in the politics of India. People in India are comparing this day to 15 Aug 1947, the day when India got independence. This is the beginning of a new political era in India.

AK has a lot of his responsibility on his shoulders in coming months and would be exciting to watch him in action.
