It is a well-known fact about the Oculazurans that they each have blue eyes or brown eyes. However, since there are no mirrors or reflective surfaces on the island, none of them knows the colour of their own eyes, even though they can see the colour of everybody else’s. In fact, according to their strict religion, any person who is able to determine the colour of their own eyes must sacrifice themselves to the gods by jumping into the volcano at midnight on the night of their discovery. One day, a visiting tourist addresses the entire tribe and announces to them that at least one of the islanders has blue eyes. What happens next? |

if there is only one tribe member with blue eyes, the entire tribe will jump down the volcano that night.
if there are 2 tribe members with blue eyes, the 98 brown-eyed tribe members will plunge down the volcano that night, followed by the two blue-eyed tribe members the next night.
0+n tribe members with blue eyes, 100-n tribe members plunge that night, the rest follow suit on the next day.
