Re: Another logic riddle
how can these solutions work if one does not know the exact number 'some' is? You are all assuming that these monks know exactly how many BEMs there are. what if some was 10 or 4?
Each monk would look around and still see other blue eyed monks. they wouldn't know if they were one as well, unless they actually knew exactly how many there were?
if they knew how many there were? then they would all be gone after the first meal. For example, if they knew that there were 5BEMs each BEM would see only 4 BEMs and would know to leave.
