I think it's that one philosopher realizes that if his nose wasn't red, then the 2nd philosopher would see him laughing and the 3rd philosopher laughing, and realize that if his nose wasn't red then the third philosopher would have nothing to laugh at.
That's kinda confusing.
The riddle's here:
Three philosophers are taking a nap under a tree. While they’re asleep, a small boy smears their noses with red berries. When they awake, they each begin to laugh, thinking the other two are laughing at each other.
But then one philosopher stops laughing, realizing his nose is red too. How did he come to this conclusion?
