why not just say “at least 99 of you have green eyes” so they can leave the next day
i think now i can sovle it
just spill the water vro.💀🥀☠️🙏✌️
Could you not say “one of you does not have green eyes”? That isn’t new information because it’s incorrect, and everyone would assume it was them at first because everyone else has green eyes, but when the other 99 people don’t leave they can figure out that I lied
Imagine if you were the only brown-eyed person on the island and you’re excited to escape but then everyone ditches you on night 99 😭😭🥀
