There are 4 men, each of them are stuck in the ground up to their chin and cannot turn their neck.  Two of them are wearing a green hat and two are wearing a white hat.  At least one of them need to figure out what order the hats are arranged on each of their heads or they will be killed... with a rusty chainsaw.  They cannot speak to each other but can only blurt out the answer if they know it.

Trick is one of the men are stuck behind the wall while the other three are on the other side of the wall (again, all facing the wall) like so: (G = green hat, W = If you don't know, give up)

G> | <W <G <W

No one can see over, or through the wall.  One of them can be absolutely 100% sure what order the hats are in, how?

The second man in from the right, How you ask?

He sees a head with a white hat on it in front of him. If the man behind him was able to see the color of his own hat it would be because both men in front of him have hats of the same color.

So, the second man from the right, noticing that the man behind him is unable to answer, can calculate that the color of his own hat is the other color of the hat of the man in front of him and deduce from there.

No rusty chainsaw for these guys.

But, what I want to know is... What is to stop the chainsaw wielding maniac from ripping them apart anyway?

Sounds like a flawed theory to me, or am I just that deranged?
