SOLVED BY BIGPOISON (solution: 4)

2An innocent person is accused of a murder in a village. The head of the village knows that the man is innocent but he also knows that the truth may be uncovered one day that his own son is the murderer. Just to hinder the attention of people, he offers a chance to the man. In a jar, he places two chits of paper – one reads innocent and the other reads guilty. Among all the other villagers, he asks the accused person to pick up a chit. He says that their almighty god is watching them and the person will meet his fate truthfully with the chit.


Of course, the village head is cheating. He has put both chits with Guilty written on them. The accused person somehow suspects the same. But no one will believe him if he tries to expose the head. Also, he knows no one will look at the other chit once his fate is decided by his selected chit.

What should he do to prove that he is innocent?

Easy, there are still only 4 cats.  The room is VERY SMALL is the key.

If the room is one foot by one foot, where is the cat's tail going when he sits in the corner?  Against the wall, touching the cat in the next corner over!  The 3 they see opposite them are the other 3 cats, one of which is also the cat that is at the tail.

Pull one out, tear it up and fling it to the wind.

The accused man should take out one of the chits and quickly swallow it!

The other "guilty" chit would prove his innocence to everyone.
