Every man in a village of 100 married couples has cheated on his wife
Every man in a village of 100 married couples has cheated on his wife.
Every wife in the village instantly knows when a man other than her husband has cheated, but does not know when her own husband has.
The village has a law that does not allow for adultery. Any wife who can prove that her husband is unfaithful must kill him that very day. The women of the village would never disobey this law.
One day, the queen of the village visits and announces that at least one husband has been unfaithful. What happens?

I can't get my head around how all the other women know immediately. CCTV in all the bedrooms ? All seems a bit fishy to me. Anyway it seems to me that the village queen hasn't said anything every woman in the village doesn't already know. Although I suspect there's a clever time related official answer to this.
