A group of Wasp-Smokys are stranded on Island, with assorted coloured paints. wasp smokies have varios paints
They are all perfect logicians - if a conclusion can be logically deduced, they will do it instantly. if they can make a logical descion they excute their descion
Each of them can see out of his own muzzle, but cannot see himself. a muzzle is the open end of the barrel of a firearm.
This means each can see the colour paint of everyone else, but does not know the colour of his own tank. they can't see the colour of their paint but can see others paints
Every night at midnight, a ferry stops at the island, to take the tanks to safety. But, there is a catch. ferry comes to pick up tanks but something happens..
Tanks can only leave the island if they know what colour paint they have. tanks must know what colour paint they have to get on boat (hhhh losers might not get on)
Other than sight, they cannot communicate (being tanks of course). There are no mirrors, reflecting surfaces on the island, and everyone knows the rules in this paragraph. there is no mirrors, no reflecting surfaces on the island and they can't see themselves
On this island, there are 20 white coloured tanks, and 20 black coloured tanks, although the tanks do not know this. ok just for note this is actaull the worst worded part of this.. white and black are not colours .-. .. learn your colours kirby... maybe it is a clue just so u know hhh me no say.. white and black are shades! anyways the tanks don't know that there is 20 white coloured and 20 black coloured tanks
So any given white tank can see 19 white tanks and 20 black tanks, but this doesn't tell himself what colour he has. the tank still doesn't know what colour he is even if he sees 19 others identical and 20 not identical
For all he knows, he could have a black paint and there are 21 black tanks in total, or he could have a red, or orange paint.
Suddenly, on one day, a booming voice calls from the sky, and shouts:
"There is a white tank on the island"
Who leaves, and on which following night?
