教育部的难题（之六） Ministry of Education Quiz (VI)

小女孩虎克在和她的小伙伴们玩「猜花色」的游戏。

Hook is playing a game called "Guess the Flower Color" with her friends.

她找来尤利安、卢卡还有总陪他们玩的大姐姐/大哥哥，在每人头上插一朵纸花。一共四朵纸花，两朵是白色，两朵是紫色。包括虎克在内，没有人偷看自己和别人头上纸花的颜色。

She invited Julian, Luka, and Big Sister/Big Brother who always plays with them — and stuck a paper flower in each one's hair. There are four flowers — two white, two purple — and nobody (including Hook) looked at their own flower nor anybody else's flower.

接着，她让大家向前站成一排。从头开始分别是虎克、尤利安、卢卡和大姐姐/大哥哥。每个人都只能面向前方，看着自己前面的人，但不允许回头，也不允许偷看自己头上的纸花。

Then, she arranged everyone to stand in a row facing forward. From the front, Hook, Julian, Luka, and Big Sister/Big Brother stood in that order. Each person could only look forward and see the person or people in front of them, but they were not allowed to turn around or peek at the color of the paper flower on their own head.

为了公平，虎克还蒙上了大姐姐/大哥哥的眼睛，因为她/他长得太高了！

To keep things fair, Hook blindfolded Big Sister/Big Brother — because she/he's so tall!

不过，虽然他们看不到，可我们路过时一眼就看到了：虎克和卢卡头上是白花，而尤利安和大姐姐/大哥哥头上是紫花。

However, while they can't see their own flowers, we can see them as we walk by: Hook and Luka have white flowers, while Julian and Big Sister/Big Brother have purple ones.

尽管虎克努力追求公平，可是这个游戏注定只有一个人能猜到自己头上纸花的颜色。请问那个人是谁呢？

Despite Hook's best and fairest intentions, only one person in this game will be able to guess what color the flower they have on their head is. Who is that person?

1、虎克

2、尤利安

3、卢卡

3. Luka

4、大姐姐/大哥哥
