eureka
one of the philosophers stopped laughing because he already realized the answer to the question they were solving before they went asleep..

Okay...
I believe it may be because of the fact that if the other two are laughing, it must mean he had the bird's gift upon his head, too. Yuck... I'm not sure I like this question!

Don't Think So...
Look at it this way, if one of the three sees even one other with the droppings on his forhead, he will laugh, so what is required for all three to laugh? It only requires that all three can see the droppings on at least one other's forehead. Thus, if two of them have it on their heads, all three can be laughing, there is no reason for one to stop laughing unless he feels the one on his own head, the solution doesn't work.

Though I could be wrong, and probably could have explained it better, I don't really think this is a logic problem at all, especially given the myriad possible reasons for the one philosopher to stop laughing, which indicates there are many plausible answers, not just one.

the owl is a night dwelling creature!
it can hardly even see during day forget flying by day !
since its clearly mentioned they were sitting in the shade of the tree and its mentioned it was occurring ONE DAY !
so there it is he is the only one who realised why everything exist and why did the owl fly by day !
its also mentioned they got up due to hoot sound so he knows its an owl !
and he knows why everything existsu but dont know y they exist at specific time!

Why in the answer are there two philosophers that got a "present" on their foreheads?
I thought all three philosophers got a "present"

I GET IT (i feel special and smart)
You, as person A know that people B & C have poop on thier heads.

SCENARIO 1:
Person A (you): does not have poop on his head
Person B: has poop on his head
Person C: has poop on his head

If this case were true, person B would laugh at the poop on person c's head. however, he would realize that person that since person c was laughing and he was obviously not laughing at person A, he must be laughing at him (person b) and would immediately stop laughing because he realized that he had poop on his head.

this case is not rue because person B did not stop laughing

SCENARIO 2:

the only other option is that all three have poop on thier heads. person a (you) realizes this and stops laughing
