Default Re: math riddle: King and His Prisoners (no content, long)

[ QUOTE ]
If the king knows who the counter is then would't he be the first one invited into the center room and then left forever in his cell?

No. The "rules" stipulate that each of the prisoners must be called out at least x times for all x. So the counter must be called as many times as he wants.
