Which heads the whole thing in the direction of prisoners dillemma, and
interesting questions on how smart the adversary is, exactly.

Fer eggsample, if I heard the say "We'll all say blue" I'd not be
foolish enough to make all the hats red.  Oh no.  I'd make them puce.
Or better yet, aqua.  I can never agree which colour aqua is.  Is it a
green, or a blue? Or a greeny blue?  Or that particular shade of pink
that men claim is purple.  That would show them.
