Default Re: Another logic riddle

[ QUOTE ]
suppose in your community of monks there are at least two blue-eyed monks. What information is the stranger putting into the system, then? It's clear that all of the monks already know that there are some blue-eyed monks.

I don't think it's clear that all of the monks already know that there are some blue-eyed monks. Two of them know that there is at least one, the rest know that there are at least two.

I had to look up "some". Could this be (one of) my fatal flaw(s)? -
