Changing Chameleons (Posted on 2002-04-19) Difficulty: 4 of 5
At one point, a remote island's population of chameleons was divided as follows:
  • 13 Red chameleons
  • 15 Green chameleons
  • 17 Blue chameleons
Each time two different colored chameleons would meet, they would change their color to the third one. (I.E. If Green meets Red, they both change their color to Blue.)

Is it ever possible for all chameleons to become the same color? (Why or why not?)

Wouldnt all the Chameleons be blue because if all the green ones meet all the red ones that leaves 2 green ones and the blue+the green chameleons = red chameleon so red chamleon+the leftover green chameleon = all bluechameleons.
