The jailer is going to ask the color of each prisoner’s hat starting from the last prisoner in queue. If a prisoner says the correct color, they are saved. What rule can the prisoners make to guarantee 99 would be saved if they are allowed to discuss a strategy before the jailer starts asking colors of their hats?

In the first cast it should say “their own hat” was missing the word own.

If they’re allowed to discuss a strategy then they could do sth like: scream the color if the color you’re mentioning is the same color as the hat in front of you, say it normally if it’s different. Saves 99.5 on avg :)

They all attempt to overpower the guards and thus a new season of Prison Break begins.

Everyone tells the prisoner in front of them the color of their hat. Guarantees 99 but good luck to the last prisoner in the queue.
