24. Three Kings

the three kings are taking a journey together in an isolated dessert, yet they remain a stranger to each other. Each of them have a diary where they recorded all their journey. The 1st king wrote that he saw two kings following him while walking. The second king wrote that he saw two kings walking at his front. The third king wrote that he is alone in his journey and he never seen anyone.

how did it happen?

Solution:

The three kings are walking in a straight line. The first king sees the second and third kings behind him, the second king sees the first king in front of him and the third king behind him, and the third king, being at the back and blind, sees no one else. This arrangement allows each king to have a different perspective on their position relative to one another.
