Hm... why is it logical so?  Wouldn't it be more logical for everyone
to live?  In that case, the islanders decide logically "to nullify this
stupid tradition immediately."  Everyone lives on in peace.

Or everyone comes to the conclusion, "Well, 199 people know my eye
color.  Now this guru knows my eye-color and none of them has to die
because of that knowledge.  So, there is no logical ground for me to
die because I become one of the crowd who know my eye-color."

Another similar line of thought, "I know the eye color of 199 people
before.  I just know the eye color of the guru too.  Nice green.  If I
don't die of knowing 200 people's eye color, there is no logical ground
for me to die just because I know the eye color of one more person."

"How could this idiot be a guru when he does not know the no-no here.
Why should I listen to his baloney?"
