Answer :[color:"#3A495A"]There is only one monk with a dot (one is greater than zero), it is the monk who can see the other ones.
He did not really know that he had a dot but he knew that the other monks had no dot.
Logically he found out that he was the one who had to jump.
The first day and the second day, he was too afraid to jump and the first day he finally decided to do it to save the world.
The other monks would had not jump anyway, they were just expecting that someone else would had jumped.[/color]
-> [color:"#3A495A"]How can the others monks be sure then they don't have a dot? Let's a assume there is one monk with a dot. We take one monk without a dot: he sees one dot, but how does he know that he doesn't have a second dot himself? Same goes for all the other monks: they can't know, in the situation you described, whether they have or don't have a dot. Conclusion: these monks have no fear to sacrifice themselves - if they know they have a dot, they will jump, otherwise we would get the above situation and no monk could know for sure whether and/or when he has to jump.
It's the best answer I've ever gotten though! Good thinking <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />[/color]
