The ten people agree as follows:First person to choose counts the number of a certain color of light (red of green) in front of him, and then lets the others know what the count was in terms of 'odd' or 'even'. For example, green is the agreed color to count. The first person counts the number of green flames, and indicates whether it is odd or even by agreement of his selection red=odd and green=even.So, if the first person counts green flames and states red, then there is an odd number of green flames in front of him. The second person then counts the number of green flames in front of him and can then infer whether his flame is green or red. So, if he counts an odd number, his flame is red. If he counts even, his flame is green. The third and subsequent people all take note of the odd or even designation, and change that every time somebody from the second person onwards states a green flame. So if a person states green, the odd changes to even or even changes to odd. Not the best explanation since I'm in a hurry, but I believe it works.That it?Pinotage</blockquote>
