Problem

There are \(20\) chairs in the room, which come in two colors: blue and red. Each chair is occupied by either a knight or a liar. Knights always tell the truth, while liars always lie. Initially, each of those seated claimed to be sitting on a blue chair. Then, they switched seats, after which half of the participants asserted that they were now sitting on blue chairs, while the other half claimed to be sitting on red ones. How many knights are currently occupying red chairs?
