Bus Shelter Riddle

I am working in a bus company. The company recently went under expansion and therefore there was not enough room for all the buses. As a result, twelve buses had to be stored outside.

If the company decides to expand the garage space by forty percent, enough space to accommodate the current buses will be created leaving enough space for twelve more buses if the need arises in future.

Can you calculate the number of buses that the company owns at present?

On a certain island, people are gifted with assorted eye colours. There are a hundred green-coloured and a hundred grey-coloured pairs of eyes. On that island, there is no mirror available. Thus no one knows the eye color of their own. They could have asked each other but that is prohibited. They are not allowed to converse with each other. However, they can study and analyze other's eyes. They don't even know the statistics so it is believable to them that their eyes can be blue as well. There is a chance of freedom from the island. If anyone can guess the colour of his own eyes correctly, he will be set free and can leave the island.

On one particular day, an outsider comes to the island and announces that he has seen someone with grey colour eyes. What will happen now?
