As a villager, you already know everyone sees either 99 or 100 blue eyes. You see 99, but you don't know if everyone else sees 99 or 100 (if they have blue it's 99 if they dont it's 100). You knew it before the visitor, and a

All of our infrastructure is CentOS (or derivative) in every single place I've ever worked. I used a mix of Mac and Windows at home and work. I don't want a linux distro with UI overhead.
