In Mamajorca women have to pass an extensive logic exam before

exam. All the women in Mamajorca are loyal to their queen and do
whatever she tells them to. The queens of Mamajorca are
truthful. All shots fired in Mamajorca can be heard in every
house. All above facts are known to be common knowledge.
Henrietta was worried about the infidelity of the married men in
Mamajorca. She summoned all the wives to the town square,
and made the following announcement. "There is at least one
unfaithful husband in Mamajorca. All wives know which husbands
are unfaithful, but have no knowledge about the fidelity of
their own husband. You are forbidden to discuss your husband's
faithfulness with any other woman. If you discover that your
husband is unfaithful, you must shoot him at precisely midnight
of the day you find that out." Thirty-nine silent nights
followed the queen's announcement. On the fortieth night, shots
were heard. How many husbands were shot on that fateful night?
