Puzzle - 1


Just puzzled by my wife and thought of checking with you if you know the answer for this!!!

Situation:
There are 4 persons (A, B, C and D) buried in the sand with their head out and wearing color cap. A is buried before the wall so A cannot see anyone and nobody can see A as well.
All they four can see in one direction. In the same way,
B cannot see anyone
C can see only B
D can see only B and C.
They only clue they have is, in the four caps two is in red and other two is in black color.

Rule:
Anyone should say color of their cap correctly, if any said it wrongly all of them will get killed.
They cannot discuss with each other.

One of them mentioned the color of the cap correctly and all of them survived
Who said the color of the cap correctly?

Since D won't be able to answer, his silence translates to "I don't know what color my cap is, even when I'm getting a bigger picture than you three guys"

That would give a hint to C

- "guy in front of me is wearing a black cap, if mine were black too, the guy behind me would know for sure what color his cap is, since he doesn't know mine must be red."
