If the Aliens have eyes then you tell you friends to tell the aliens to stand in front of them and using the aliens eye as a mirror u can tell which button to press from the first guy. so to me I will loose only the first guy if he dint find it right because he is the determinant On Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 12:51 PM, Boniface <mboteb@gmail.com> wrote:
You can save everyone.. Just pee and watch the reflection since the only thing you cant see is what you are stepping on.

I said aliens invaded earth, I never mentioned Kenya anywhere. Its a logical problem. The goal is to bring out the problem, not go to the specifics of where and what. I could have used bacteria as well, only that I don't understand a lot about their lifestyle :D

Ok First of all, you are not allowed to communicate, otherwise there would be no test. Also the aliens start with the the guy at the rear of the queue, so he can only see the ones in front. All you are allowed to do is say the color out loud and if its wrong, the others here you going down to kiss the magma. @Haggai, your argument is wrong. And since its a for all assertion I can disapprove it with a counter example. Assume there are 5 guys with the colors RBRBR So the first guy says B which is the color of the guy in front and he dies, the guy in front has B but the one in front of him has R so if he says R he dies, if he says B he lives, but the guy in front of him will die since he will think the guy behind him said what his color was. Since I have proven a case where more then two guys die, actually more, you approach is not valid and requires rethinking. @Everyone please describe how you came up with your answer. Also. not that the question here is can save, not might save. Anyone with a <1 probability of surviving cannot be counted to have survived.

Looking at my statement, I realize that I set my own quiz & gave my correct answer [?][?][?] My assumption was that 10 earthlings are involved here. (Just as in the mwax I hold) [?][?][?]
