Riddle:
Once upon a time in a fantastic world, there was a giant who hated gnomes. He lived deep underground in a cave and was asleep for most of the time.
Abovegrounds, there lived two gnome clans, the green-hats and the red-hats. Not very surprisingly, one clan always wears green hats and the other always wears red hats....
The way these two clans live together it very strange. They dont have deep affection for the other clan but they don't hate each other either. From time to time, two gnomes from different clans decide to exchange hats and live with the other clan; This is considered normal.
All was well untill the gnomes decided to venture into the giant's cave, greedy for riches and glory. This went horribly wrong however, when the giant woke from his slumber and captured all the gnomes.
The giant decided to have some fun with the gnomes before eating them, sadistic that he was. He took all the hats off the gnomes, shuffeled them, and put them back on at random, so no gnome knew what color hat he wore. He then told the gnomes to step out of the cave one by one, and to group up: green hats on one side, red hats on the other. He also stated that any kind of communication, verbal or non-verbal, is forbidden. (remember the gnomes do not know the color of their own hat)
The gnomes, witty as they were, managed to do what the giant said. They all grouped up, red hats on one side and green hats on the other, except for the poor last gnome, who didn't know where to go. All lived but one who saved the lives of two.
So how did the gnomes do this? Feel free to ask questions if anything needs clarification. I will tell if a given answer is right or wrong. Good luck :3

Hint: The gnomes cant see their own hat, but they can see the hat of the other people outside..
Gnomes also are known to be logical thinkers.

Each one counted the number of red/green hats, and whichever number was odd, was the colour hat they were on. I saw something similar on Khan Academy a while ago.
