The following figures can tell you how long his life span is. One sixth of his life was a happy childhood. After living for twelve times, a thin beard grew on his cheek.

7. Hair color
In a village isolated from the outside world, there lived three people. None of these three people can speak, but they are all smart. The hair of people in this village is either black or red. There are no objects (such as mirrors and lakes) in this village that can see themselves through reflections, so three people don't know the color of their hair.
There is a custom in this village: if you know the color of your hair and commit suicide, you can go to heaven happily; If you guess the wrong color of your hair and commit suicide, you will go to hell in pain. These three people all want to go to heaven, but they all suffer from not knowing their hair color. These three people gather in the square at noon every day, looking at each other, hoping to know their hair colors. It was not until an outsider intervened that this dilemma was broken.
One day, a foreigner entered the village and met these three people in the square. He casually said, "At least one of you three has red hair." Say that finish and left the village. On the same day, after hearing this sentence, all three went home and thought hard. At noon the next day, the three met together in the square. When I went back the next night, two people committed suicide successfully. At noon on the third day, only one person went to the square. The man also committed suicide when he came back.
Excuse me: What color are these three people's hair?
