SO IF YOU DONT WANT TO SEE AT LEAST [1] CORRECT ANSWER DON'T READ THIS POST the answer is 2, and there are 2 couples in the kingdom. each husband committed adultery with the other man, not the other woman. since each wife was watching the other man(not their husband) they would each know that that man was committing adultery with their husband, and therefore both husbands would get caught. it could work just as easily with 4 people, or 6 people, or 8 people, etc. but 2 is more logical because each woman would of course be watching the man that her husband committed adultery with. OK POST IS OVER THX | ||

BROWN EYES AND RED EYES There is an island of monks where everyone has either brown eyes or red eyes. Monks who have red eyes are cursed, and are supposed to commit suicide at midnight. However, no one ever talks about what color eyes they have, because the monks have a vow of silence. Also, there are no reflective surfaces on the whole island. Thus, no one knows their own eye color; they can only see the eye colors of other people, and not say anything about them. Life goes on, with brown-eyed monks and red-eyed monks living happily together in peace, and no one ever committing suicide. Then one day a tourist visits the island monastery, and, not knowing that he's not supposed to talk about eyes, he states the observation "At least one of you has red eyes." Having acquired this new information, something dramatic happens among the monks. What happens? Hint: First consider the case where there are only a few monks on the island, some with brown and some with red. Work through the logic and find out what happens over time. Then generalize for the case of M monks on the island, N of which have red eyes. | ||

Like for the monk puzzle, assuming the monks are smart, say that there are 5 monks 3 of which have red eyes. So each monk with red eyes sees two other monks with red eyes. After two midnights of no suicides, all three monks will commit suicide. that doesnt make any sense or maybe i just don't understand? | ||
