That dirty king is at it again, and he has another twisted plan in store for you
you are one of 12 men sentenced to be executed, unless you can determine a solution to his game.
You will be separated into two groups, with one person from each group being chosen as a leader. The other 5 from each team will be blindfolded and given either a red or black hat. One team will be dictated the "informant team" and they will each get a number 1-5
The leaders cannot see the prisoners from the other group, only his. You are told the ratio of hats will be even
i.e. red:black 0:10, 2:8, 4:6, 6:4, 8:2, or 10:0
The rules are as follows. One leader is the informer (We'll say Leader A), the other determines the ratio of hats(Leader B). The informer is allowed to communicate as follows.
When the game starts, the informer, Leader A, gives a "True" or "False" to a guard, that will in turn deliver it to Leader B
After hearing the initial "True" or "False," Leader B chooses a number 1-5. The prisoner from Leader A with that number is brought over to Leader B's group.
After this, Leader A gives a second "True" or "False" to be communicated. After this, Leader B must determine the ratio of hats. How can you make a plan so these two T/F communications can get you the ratio?
Same rules as always, no cheating!
Sorry if it seems confusing, or if it's easier than I initially thought it was
