🧩 Today’s Puzzle: The Blue-Eyed Islanders
On an island live 100 people with blue eyes and 100 people with brown eyes. Nobody knows their own eye color. There are no mirrors, and nobody discusses eye color. If a person ever learns they have blue eyes, they must leave the island at midnight that night. One day, a visitor arrives and announces: ‘I see at least one person with blue eyes on this island.’ Everyone hears this. Who leaves the island, and when?
