The dumb economists and the 100 clever computer engineers Once upon a time some dumb economists captured 100 clever computer engineers, and told them: ”You have 5 minutes (to discuss), then you have to stand in a straight line one behind one. Each of you will get a cap. This cap can be eighter black or white. Then starting from the back of the line we will ask each of you: “What is the colour of your cap”. If you’re right we’ll let you go, but if you are wrong we’ll shoot you down. The answer can be only one word black or white, anyway you all will be shot. The aim is to save as many computer engineer as it is possible. Some more explanation: everyone sees the whole line in front of him, but not those ones who stands behind him, and everybody can hear every shot, which means wrong answer. An example: Everyone who stands on EVEN numbers will say the color of the cap in front of him. Then the men standing on ODD numbers will hear their colour and survive. With this strategy 50% of the computer engineers will survive, worst case. This is not a very good strategy. Find the best solution. Up for adventure. -- @< //) `//<_ 하얀까마귀 |
