If you can see 99 blue eyes, you know that all the other people see either 98 or 99 (if there's a total of 99 blue eyes) or 99 or 100 (if there's 100 blue eyes). However, if some people see 98 and know that there's at least 99 people with blue eyes, then they would all suicide. Since they don't, you know everyone sees either 99 or 100 blue eyes. Since you see 99, you must have blue eyes.
