stairs of death

Hello, my answer to this mission was that only the first person could know the colour of there hat as if two red hats are infront of him he must have a blue hat and vise versa. This was wrong to my surprise therefore thsi is not a spoiler. Could someone give me a clue please. cheers

It says "most difficult situation"… hat 2 and 3 have a different colour.

Think about this when trying to solve it… the two men in front of the top man are thinking the same way that you are. So if top man doesn't know the answer… there's silence from him.

Just think about that.
