I just don't think that these sit-down interviews are that important when it comes to a presidential general election campaign.
I would say interviews are like debates: Normally they don't really matter. But if one candidate appears to be unable to handle interviews (not even good interviews, just unable/unwilling to do them) or unable to handle a debate (winning is nice but not necessary, just participating) then that raises massive red flags.
It seems like a basic duty of the job. An applicant for a job who can send and receive emails isn't noteworthy. An applicant who can't though, isn't likely to be hired.
So I'm a few days late, but I'm struggling with the riddle. I can't get it to work out in my head.
I know the answer is that all n blue-eyed people leave on the nth ferry. I understand why that works for low values of n, and how it builds on itself, as each blue-eyed person expects the (n-1) scenario to play out, and then when it doesn't they realize they have blue eyes.
But at some point, everyone can see multiple blue-eyed people. And everyone can see that everyone else can see multiple blue-eyed people. At that point I can't see how the Guru has provided anyone with any new information or any new common knowledge. Nor has the empty outbound ferry on Day 1. So I don't understand how all the blue-eyed people know to leave on Day 100.
