Title:
[QUOTE=Admin;4816]Ans: The sheep will not get eaten. Reason: 1. If there was only 1 lion, it would definitely eat the sheep. 2. If there were 2 lions, each one would think if it eats the sheep, the other one would eat him and hence both wouldnt eat the sheep. 3. If there were 3 lions, the first lion thats gonna eat the sheep knows that after it eats the sheep there will be only 2 lions left and both wouldnt eat him (by case 2). 4. In case there were 4 lions, all the lions know that the first one thats gonna eat the sheep will be eaten by one more (by case 3, since only 3 will be left) and hence none would dare to eat it. Thus if there were odd number of lions, the sheep would have been eaten.. but since there are even number of lions, the sheep is safe.[/QUOTE]
