In the shopping mall, Zhang Jue thought about it and really didn't know what to buy for Yang Xue. He simply pointed at the jewelry store where the interactive quiz was taking place. "It's better to hit something than to choose something. How about I go and win a gift for your Sister Yang Xue?"
Ningning looked at the crowd in front of her and said, "You?"
It was not that she looked down on Zhang Jue. Since the jewelry store dared to hold such an activity, the questions were naturally very difficult. They had been watching here for more than ten minutes. There were dozens of people around the host, but none of them could answer. Was he smarter than them?
Zhang Jue did not say anything. He just smiled and said, "Let's give it a try. What if I get it right by accident?"
Ningning snorted. "Anyway, you just don't want to spend money."
After she said that, she suddenly frowned and remembered what Yang Xue had just said.
It seemed that she really cared too much about money.
But she had no choice. She was raised by her grandparents since she was a child. What she lacked most was money.
She needed money to go to school and eat. Without money, she could not do anything.
She once swore that she would make a lot of money and marry a very rich husband. She would fiercely slap the faces of those who had looked down on her.
But Yang Xue's words subverted her understanding. Was there something more important than wealth and appearance?
How could it be?
Sister Yang Xue must have made a mistake. It must be.
…
Zhang Jue did not refute her teasing. He laughed and squeezed into the crowd to listen to the host's question.
The tall and beautiful hostess stood on the special stage for the event and said with a smile, "The question just now was a little difficult. It's very rare for Mr. James to answer it in 20 minutes. Mr. James, please follow our staff into the store to register your personal information. A small gift will be sent to you later. Now, let's move on to our finale. This is the last and most difficult question tonight. Let's see if you can win our store's mystery prize with your superhuman IQ. Please listen carefully."
The penultimate question that James had answered correctly just now was an arithmetic question. The correct solution was an algorithm that had been demonstrated in a mathematician's thesis, but how would these ordinary citizens know? In the end, it was Mr. James who had used the calculator on his phone to solve it. When they heard that there were more difficult questions, not only were they not afraid, they were even looking forward to it.
As soon as the host finished speaking, everyone present quieted down. They were either excited or nervous, waiting to see how difficult the last question would be.
The host gently cleared his throat and said in a gentle voice, "Once upon a time, there were five pirates who intercepted a hundred gold coins."
"But because of the distribution problem, there was a little conflict. So they came up with a solution.
"The five pirates will draw lots and propose a distribution plan according to the order of drawing lots. The others will vote whether to agree or not.
"Only when more than half of the people agree will the plan be implemented. Note, it must be more than half of the people who agree. Otherwise, the distributor will be thrown into the sea and the next person will continue to distribute until a satisfactory plan is obtained."
"If these five pirates are smart, rational, and trustworthy enough, then how should the first pirate distribute so that he can get the most money without being killed? How much can he get at most?
"Everyone has one chance. The first one to answer correctly wins. Let's start."
…
So complicated!
Such a long question made the onlookers a little dizzy.
Everyone bowed their heads and thought.
They all frowned as if they were the pirates who were going to be thrown into the sea.
"Equally, 20 gold coins per person!" A person in the crowd shouted.
Equal distribution, this was probably the first answer that everyone thought of. According to their usual experience, it seemed to be more reasonable. However, the host shook his head.
Another person mocked, "Of course, the first person does not dare to take the gold coins. He will be thrown into the sea, so it should be 0. The others will each get 25 gold coins!"
This plan sounded more reasonable. Unexpectedly, the host shook his head again, indicating that this answer was not right and that it could not maximize the benefits of the first person.
In this way, a few minutes passed, and still no one came up with the correct answer.
Because once there was an answer, it would immediately be denied by everyone, and then it would be thrown into the sea.
