I think nobody dies on the first 19 days and everyone dies on the 20th day.
(I have no difference with other green-eyes. Why I have to suicide
ealier? :< )
Given: a) there was at least one green-eyed among them,
we could get the following conclusions:
1) If there is exactly 1 green-eye, he committed suicide on the first day.
2) If there is exactly 2 green-eye, they all committed suicide on the
second day.
...
n) If there is exactly N green-eye, they all committed suicide on the
N'th day.
1) is obvious. (No one else he saw is green-eye)
For n), each of the N green-eyed persons saw (N-1) green-eye persons.
If there were only (N-1) green-eyed persons, they had committed suicide
on the (N-1) th day, according to the previous conclusion.
So no suicides on the first (N-1) days means there were more green-eyed
persons, ie. he is one of them.
Each of the N green-eyed persons realized this on the N'th day, and
commited suicide.

I think Aditya is correct,
1) it never says nobody dies on the first 19 days, just says by the
20th day all the green eyed commit suicide.
2) God said that, "He also assured them that there was at least one
green-eyed among them."
Cheers.

Aditya,
1) Nobody dies on the first 19 days everyone dies on the 20th day.
2) Even if it wasnt the case, why should he die just because
nobody else did? Is there any condition on THERE SHOULD BE ATLEAST
ONE GREEN EYED GUY?

At the end of first day person realize no body dies so he is
the one with green eye's so he commit sucide ...
Similarly on second day .. hence forth 20 people commit
suicide in 20 days ..

In an ancient village, there were some green-eyed and
blue-eyed
persons. One fi ne day,
God instructed them, "the day on which you come to know
that you are a
green-eyed,
you should commit suicide ..." He also assured them that
there was at
least one green-eyed
among them. Well, all the villagers were very intelligent
and strict
followers of
God. But, no one knew color of his own eyes! They didn't
have mirrors.
They
couldn't even communicate with each other. All that they
could do is
to see color
of other's eyes. It happened that on 20th day, all the
green-eyed
people committed
suicide. So, how many green-eyed were there ?
