Redpill-Bluepill

This is a simulation of the following thought experiment that was the subject of some twitter drama recently

there's a bunch of people in the room, each one is presented with a choice of blue and red pill,
if more than half of the people choose the blue pill, everyone lives
if more than half of the people choose the red pill, the ones who chose the blue pill die

I decided to simulate it for fun because I had nothing better to do, and because I recently saw this and wanted to do something like it

Findings

After messing around with it for a bit I found that as long as the number of Guessers is less than double the difference between AlwaysBlues and AlwaysReds, and there are more AlwaysBlues than AlwaysReds, no one dies regardless of the number of iterations performed, do with that information what you will, I just thought it's neat
