Default Re: Another logic riddle

7. At the first breakfast, if there is only one BEM, then he will leave because he will look around and not see any BEMs and will know that he must be the one.

Can't be. The stranger said "some..." - if there is only one BEM, every other monk will assume they are the other and leave. The one BEM will assume the stranger was lying when he said "some of you are blue eyed". The next meal will have only one person -- the BEM.
