True, but you have to think further.
Case one: you have brown eyes. Then the two people with blue eyes would each only see one person with brown eyes (and as you agreed, would kill themselves).
So because these people have not yet killed themselves, you must have blue eyes as well. Aaaargh (sorry, Monthy Python popped in).
