Good day my lamebrained friend. Be addled by my riddles. You may be rewarded or punished for your answers. So beware!

I hope you are ready.

Because you better be if you want any chance of saving your precious site. In a week, I will engage the baboons in a little game I'd like to call "What color is my ass?" MUAHHAhAhahAHAHAa...

Ok, so here are the rules:

I will line up all the baboons, single file, so that each baboon can only see the other baboons before it, and therefore, the color of the these baboons' asses.

Each baboon's ass I have painted either red or blue. Starting from the back of the line, each baboon will be asked what color ass it currently has. If the baboon guesses correctly, as a fiend of honor, I will let him scurry back to your low-budget, wretched site. If not, I will shoot him in the head, and the baboon will die. He cannot see his own ass! Obviously!!

Each baboon will be able to hear the answer of the all baboons that have gone before itself. And, whether it hears a brutal gunshot or not, it will know whether its comrade has lucked out or is now bloody carcass dirtying up my crib.

Within one week, you must come up with a strategy for these unfortunate.. MUAhHAHAhAHAHAa... baboons. No sly manuevers, or I will shoot the baboons. For instance, you cannot tell the baboon to hint to the other baboons by stumping its foot, talking at a higher pitch, et cetera. Each baboon only receives the hint of what the previous baboon(s) have answered and whether those baboons have lived or not. Nothing else!

Please also realize this. You are attempting to devise a strategy to save as many baboons as possible. It is literally impossible to devise a plan that will absolutely save every single life. MuahAHHAhahahaHAa..

Good luck, fools! MAUaUhAHAUUAUAhAHAHAHahAa....

I hope you are ready, Baboons.
Each baboon simply announces the color of the one he sees in front of him. The first one has a 50-50 chance of living, but after that each one will know his own color and all the rest will live.

It's not as tidy as that...
Uncle Jim's answer will only work for half of the baboons. B1 announces the color of B2's ass and has a 50% chance. B2 knows his color so he announces it and lives. B3, however, is in the same situation as B1 because, instead of helping him out, B2 has saved his own ass. Literally. So they alternate, 50% chance, 100%, 50%, 100%, and so on. I don't know if that's the best solution, but it's not bad.
