Of course, you could have spared the prisoners 98 days on the island by telling them at least 99 of you have green eyes, but when mad dictators are involved, you're best off with a good headstart.
Claro que podias ter poupado 98 dias aos prisioneiros na ilha se lhes tivesses dito que,  pelo menos 99 deles, tinham olhos verdes. Mas, quando se trata de ditadores loucos,  toda a prudência é pouca.
