The Grand Master takes a set of 8 stamps, 4 red and 4 green, known to the logicians, and loosely affixes two to the forehead of each logician so that each logician can see all the other stamps except those 2 in the Grand Master's pocket and the two on her own forehead. He asks them in turn if they know the colors of their own stamps:
A: "No."
B: "No."
C: "No."
A: "No."
B: "Yes."

I am a pinkish color, and have a roundish shape in you. I am very soft, and you should protect me, because I am very important, and you need me to live. All the other animals need me, but not plants. For their size, I was small in a dinosaur, and I am much larger in you. Now tell me, what am I?
