You guys are dumber than I thought.

Your lucky even a fiend like myself has some pity. MUAhaHAHAHAHAHa. Eh, I'll give the dirty, stinking baboons a few more days of life. The deadline is extended to Friday.

And just to clarify, I won't be painting the asses in any pattern. Therefore, depending on what foolish strategy you provide me, I won't paint the asses in such a way that the most number of baboons die. In fact, I'll tell you what I'll do. Coin tosses will be used to decided what colors to paint the asses.

I can save them!
Well - all but one.

The last one in line (the first one to speak) has a 50/50 chance of survival, but through noble sacrifice can let all others live!

Let the last baboon count the number of baboons in front of him with RED asses. If the number is EVEN, he will declare that his own ass is RED. Otherwise, he will say that it's WHITE.

At this point he will either be killed or not - nothing to be done about that.

The baboon in front of him will also count the RED asses that he sees. He will know wether the previous baboon saw an EVEN number of RED asses or an ODD one. If he sees the same number, then he knows his own ass is NOT RED. If his number is different, he knows that his ass is RED.

He will say the color of his ass and go free.

The next baboon in line will have to do a little more math. He too knows if the original baboon saw an ODD or EVEN number of RED asses. He also knows if the baboon behind him had a RED ass or not. Therefore, he can deduce if the number of RED asses remaining is EVEN or ODD. Since he can see all the asses in front of him, he can count the RED ones, and if that number is the same kind as the number he deduced, he knows that his ass is NOT RED. Other wise it IS RED.

Having guessed his own ass color, the baboon will also go free.

All the other baboons in line will have to keep careful track of how many RED asses there were in the line behind them, and wether the remaining number of RED asses is ODD or EVEN. Then depending on how many of the asses they see in front of them are RED, they will know their own ass color.
