QOD #10

The other night, sitting around a fog-making machine, Team 4 was arguing about which member of their team was the smartest. Thea came by and suggested a way to solve their delimna which is used in her nation in Minnesota.

"Get into a circle and close your eyes. I'll crazy glue either a red or yellow Pocahontas sticker to your forehead. Then you can open your eyes. If you see a red Pocahontas sticker, raise your hand. As soon as you know what color sticker is glued to your own head, you can take it off before the glue sets."

Naturally, the team agreed to this. They closed their eyes, and Thea glued red Pocahontas stickers to each forehead. As soon as they opened their eyes, they each, seeing red stickers, raised their hands. After a few moments, Adama announced the color of her bearsticker, and took it off leaving the others permanently endowed with Pocahontas stickers and Thea chuckling at finally getting revenge in the name of her people.

How did Adama figure it out?

Bonus: Could she have figured it out if there were four people playing?
