A man has been standing in front of you house for 6 months. He hasn't moved from the spot, slept, nor eaten. One day, you woke up to find he was gone. Who was this man?

[sub]Probably don't have to keep saying this at this point but, just to keep safe, I don't post riddles. Just answer 'em, I'm afraid. Someone else post one if I'm right by some twisted logic.[/sub]

A group of people with assorted eye colors live on an island. They are all perfect logicians -- if a conclusion can be logically deduced, they will do it instantly. No one knows the color of their eyes. Every night at midnight, a ferry stops at the island. If anyone has figured out the color of their own eyes, they [must] leave the island that midnight. Everyone can see everyone else at all times and keeps a count of the number of people they see with each eye color (excluding themselves), but they cannot otherwise communicate. Everyone on the island knows all the rules in this paragraph.
On this island there are 100 blue-eyed people, 100 brown-eyed people, and the Guru (she happens to have green eyes). So any given blue-eyed person can see 100 people with brown eyes and 99 people with blue eyes (and one with green), but that does not tell him his own eye color; as far as he knows the totals could be 101 brown and 99 blue. Or 100 brown, 99 blue, and he could have red eyes.
The Guru is allowed to speak once (let's say at noon), on one day in all their endless years on the island. Standing before the islanders, she says the following:
"I can see someone who has blue eyes."
Who leaves the island, and on what night?
This is a really hard riddle but I think it's really interesting so good luck.

each person tells another person their eye color. What I mean is that person A tells person B what person B's eye color is and person B does the same for person A. This happens for each person so they all leave.
probably wrong but if i'm right, somebody else give a riddle.

The Gurus statement makes them repeat this about those around them.
They all leave, that night.
They all know their eye colours because the guru makes them say it.

They all leave, except the Guru I suppose.
They all think that the Guru was speaking to them, and regardless of if it's right or not, they all think they have blue eyes.
The only other solution I can think of is that someone grows half a brain and looks at their reflection in the water.
