Problem

On the questioners’ planet, there are two types of aliens, Cricks and Goops. These aliens can only ask questions. Cricks can only ask questions to which the answer is yes, Goops can only ask questions to which the answer is no.

There are 19 aliens standing in a circle. Each of them asks the following question “Do I have a Crick standing next to me on both sides?" Then one of them asks you in private “Is 57 a prime number?" How many Cricks were actually in the circle?
