1. Two or more people each possess one or more hats. Only more context will make it clear which is intended.
2. Two or more people jointly possess one hat. This is unlikely.

One at a time! Ah~ I thought they were under a common issue.I wrote like that. I'm sorry for that. If nobody give me any answer, I would divide them and raise one by one. The fact that they have a hat together is a kind of nonsense.Thank you so much for your answer,Mr.Fivejedjon
