Haircut Puzzle

Now that the weekend is coming here is something to keep you busy other than work .... the haircut puzzle ... sometimes the obvious is not the most logical ... think about it .. and dont forget to give your reasoning too ... once again a fabulous prize for the winner ...
A traveller arrives in a small town and decides he wants to get a haircut. There are only two barbershops in town - one on East Street and one on West Street. The East Street barbershop is a mess, and the barber has the worst haircut the traveller has ever seen. The West Street barbershop is neat and clean, its barber's hair looks as good as a movie star's.
Which barbershop does the traveller go to for his haircut, and why?

  1. There are only 2 barbers in the town. Obviously the west street barber will go the east street and vice versa. So the travller will tkae the east street barber. :)

  2. Congratulations .. thats indeed the right answer and reasoning ... cool !! You have won yourself a cool trip to Antartica .... tickets will be sent by local post ....God Bless you ..!!

    The traveler goes to have his hair cut at the barbershop on East Street. He figures that since there are only two barbershops in town the East Street barber must have his hair cut by the West Street barber and vice versa. So if the traveler wants to look as good as the West Street barber (the one with the good haircut), he'd better go to the man who cuts the West Street barber's hair - the East Street barber.
    By the way, the reason the West Street barbershop is so clean and neat is that it seldom gets customers.
