They know there are 200 people on the island, and each person knows the eye color of 199 of them.

I must not be understanding something! When the visitor goes there, no one is there because everyone has left.

They do NOT know about the 100:100 ratio (only we do). Furthermore, they do not know that the only eye colors present are blue and brown. Each one must consider the possibility that he/she has an arbitrary color (e.g. green).

ah! ok. If that's the case, I can only see one possibility: using water as a mirror! Ahhah

Think about the case of just one person having blue eyes. What would they know and do?
