In the hypothetical a would still apply, surely?  Otherwise you could apply (misapply?) the principle of insufficient reason to the hypothetical, '10 people look at a green, and 3 declare it to be frubious, 7 don't'.  Or something like that.  If it makes no sense to talk of something being correct/incorrect then it still be nonsense even in a hypothetical scenario.

As for b, my hypothetical assumed a real world context.

I added to my post. Since I framed my answer in terms of who is most likely wrong, it evades that problem as positing a truth value to something that lacks truth values is also wrong.

In the real world we can only make statements about what we know. Since I doubt you've actually polled some forty odd people, you're clearly simply adding to the hypothetical by stipulating that it's a real world question. That adds no information about the specifics as they are still hypothetical.
