Black n White Hats ! (Puzzle)

There are 3 black hats and 2 white hats in a box. Three men (we will call them A, B, & C) each reach into the box and place one of the hats on his own head. They cannot see what color hat they have chosen. The men are situated in a way that A can see the hats on B & C’s heads, B can only see the hat on C’s head and C cannot see any hats.

When A is asked if he knows the color of the hat he is wearing, he says no.

When B is asked if he knows the color of the hat he is wearing he says no.

When C is asked if he knows the color of the hat he is wearing he says yes and
he is correct.

What color hat and how can this be? There is no play on words and there are no tricks. If had is used instead of has it is purely accidental.

i think he is wearing a black hat

Here is the solution... ! (Congrats to those who guessed it)

A must not see two white hats on B & C, or he would know his own must be black. So his answer establishes that at least one of the hats on B & C is black. If B saw that C was wearing a white hat, then B would know his own was black. Since B could not say that truthfully, then C must be wearing black and he answers so correctly.
