UuuUugghhhh...
I think that it was mainly the fact that the Radiance was the god of the Moth tribe. The moths probably still worshiped the Radiance and not the Pale King, which he didn't like.
And, for hat problem number 1:
Decide ahead of time to always guess odd or always even. Then everyone is guessing the same hat distribution. This produces a 50% chance of victory, because there's an equal number of even and odd distributions.
I think this is the right idea, but there isn’t the same number of odd and even distributions. So we would actually have to check what are the odds of having an odd number of white hats, total, and compare with the odds of having an even number. Then everybody agrees to guess the hat color that leads to a total number of white hats that is odd/even, depending on their previous result.
No, see the exchange earlier with MiX and bitwise. bitwise is correct.

What a 95% confidence interval means is this: "if our poll's proportion of Yes (53.6%, for example) was also the actual proportion of Yes in the entire group of voters, AND we re-ran the poll and built a new CI of the same size; well then 95% of those intervals would also include the value 53.6%"
Which is a weird definition.
