mathmo had the correct answer for my riddle.
Here's a fairly easy logic problem with the details changed to make googling a bit harder. If you've heard it before or use the web, please refrain from posting the answer for those that want to work through it.
There is an isolated village of people, some of which have green stars on their forehead.
There are no mirrors in the town, and people don't talkabout the symbols. The stars can not be found by touch.
Anyone that finds out they have a star, must kill themselves before at dawn the next day.
A visitor comes to the village, and makes a comment about seeing a star, but doesn't mention how many or on whom.
Six days later, a number of bodies are found after dawn. How many? and why?
