Read the whole riddle again.Well, that's an alternative answer I guess. Actually one would be the dictionary.
@Silent Hunter: I'm quite sure it's a river. I have read a similar riddle elsewhere.

This is a complicated one, lets see who gets it.
There are three prisoners in a jail.
The jailer decides to set free the most intelligent prisoner among them, so he devises a plan.
He have 5 discs, 3 white, 2 black.
He pins a disc behind the back of each prisoner. Now each prisoner can see the disc of other, but cannot see their own disc.
He hides the remaining disc, without the prisoners seeing them.
He then asks the prisoner to tell which disc is pinned behind their back, and give a valid reason for why is it.
In actual, he pins the three white discs, while hiding the remaining 2 black discs.
After half an hour, a prisoner came forward and says his disc is white, and give a reason.
What reason does he gave?

There should be a reason...
These arent possible, and even if it was, what reason would he give to jailor?

Imagine you are the prisoner who figures it out (let's call him p1). Now to figure out whether you have W on your back, assume the opposite, i.e. you have B.
With this assumption, you think, in that case one of the other prisoners p2 sees B and W on the backs of the others. Now when p2 is thinking, he could assume for a minute that he also had B on his back. But in that case, p3 would see two B's and immediately tell the guard he had a W on his back. Therefore, this is impossible and p2 will assume he doesn't have B on his back. Therefore, p2 will know he has W on his back. In which case he would tell the guard he had W on his back.
In either case, one of the other prisoners (p2 or p3) should already have told the guard what they had on their back. But, no one has. This is absurd. Therefore you should discard the assumption that you have B on your back. So, you have W on your back.
Notice, that all prisoners could have applied the same argument. But since you're nerdy enough to visit an academic resource forum, you figure it out first.
