Ah, then there are multiple possible answers. I'll work on this one some more.
New answer to add onto my last answer:
It's the first prisoner who can see the other two. His hat's feather is black. He knows because he sees two white feathers on the hats of the other two. He definitely got lucky with that random arrangement.
-OR-
The second prisoner answers. If the feather in front of him is white, he answers black. If his own was white in this situation, the prisoner who could see both of them would have said "black" immediately and he would not have had to answer.
-OR-
The third prisoner answers. If the other two are unsure, his has to be black.

I don't believe you. Get over it.
