Ok, they are 7 men who are hung. If there were only 1, her wife of the adulterer would know it inmediately, since she would observe 0 adulteries knowing there has been one. If there were 2 adulteries, each of the wifes would observe 1 adultery. If there is no hung men on day 1 and I am one of the two wifes, I know my husband has been untruth, since the other woman is observing some other adultery. There is no other, therefore, it is my husband. Imagine there are 3. Each of the 3 wives will observe only 2. On the morning of day 1 there are no men hung. So a wife may think: ah, there are observing each other, tomorrow the both are hung. But, day 2 arrives and no men are hung. So I, as the third wife, realize that there is one more man who committed adultery, MY MAN. I can prove it in the evening and have him hung. The three of them think the same. So, by induction, the strategy is as follows. You, as a wife, wait as many days as adulteries you have observed. If on that morning they are all hung, your husband is innocent, but if they are not, your husband is one of them and they will be all hung tomorrow. The answer is: 7 husbands are hung.
