3rd line from the bottom
a-b=0, you can't divide by 0

Originally posted by Grrrrr The only way one of them men can know for sure what colour their own mark is, is if they can see a red and blue mark on the people sat opposite. Then he knows his own mark MUST be red. Since all the men are supposedly clever the man who stood up would have expected one of the other 2 men to realise the above fact fairly quickly. Neither of them guessed so he knows that neither of them can see the red/blue combination and since there are at least 2 red marks in total his own mark cannot be blue. So he guesses correctly that his own mark is red. I think that makes sense

Yep, that's right. Sorry spacey

There isn't much to figure out, just read it line by line.
