Mr. Rabbit's Truth Clock Game.
It had only been twenty minutes. In just 20 minutes, the black rabbit had shortened the distance with Tang Mo and was about to catch up with him. Now the distance between the two had returned to the original point.
It was still 30 squares.
The clock of truth is a circle.
They could be generally divided into squares from the first to the sixtieth.
The head and tail were connected.
It formed a closed loop.
Counterclockwise is forward.
Clockwise is backward.
In this game,
If you don't advance, you'll fall behind. Suppose in a certain round of the game,
Tang Mo moved forward 15 squares and the black rabbit moved back 15 squares. He would catch up to the black rabbit in an instant and the black rabbit would fall into the black hole of truth.
Moreover, there was something special about this game.
Tang Mo sat on the ground.
He crossed his legs and rested. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze sliding from the 59th square where the black rabbit had originally been to the third square where it was now standing. The black rabbit moved back a total of four squares.
"There were a total of 16 items in that round of the game. If all of them are eliminated, there will be 8 pairs of items.
Eight points in total. Out of the four boxes, it got six pairs of items wrong.
I can only get two correct answers so that I can go back four squares. "Tang Mo's expression was calm, but his heart was silently calculating.
"Of the 16 items just now,
At least three pairs of items were very simple.
The single truth between them was obvious, and it should not have gotten it so wrong. So … "
Therefore, the black rabbit chose to give up on eliminating items just like him.
The sixth rule of the game: When Schrodinger's box is opened, if there are still items on the truth clock that haven't been eliminated, move back two squares.
Yes, in Mr. Rabbit's truth clock game, there would be a maximum of 58 items and a minimum of two items. To eliminate a mistake, one step back; to eliminate a right, one step forward. Based on the level of fallacy in eliminating the error, there would be four different punishments. If the player did not understand the two items at all and could not find the truth buried in them, then there were two choices he could make: First, say a random truth to eliminate the two items; Second, give up on eliminating the items.
The probability of any truth being correct was infinitely close to zero. It was very likely that he would regress by one step or even trigger a level-1 Origin Fallacy.
Giving up on eliminating an item wouldn't trigger any Fallacy, but it would cause him to move back two steps.
Among the 16 items, there were three items that Tang Mo had never seen before. He thought about it carefully for a long time and finally decided to give up on eliminating it. Compared to the unknown level one punishment, he would rather go back four steps and think about it at length. But what surprised him was that the black rabbit also fell back so many steps this time. There was a 90% chance that the black rabbit didn't eliminate all the items, so it went back so many squares.
"Then what is he happy about …" Tang Mo murmured.
The interval between the two rounds of items was ten minutes.
In the previous round, both Tang Mo and the black rabbit triggered the level three grey fallacy. It took them some effort to deal with the huge black vortex. The two of them didn't talk and rested. Tang Mo was immersed in his thoughts. He recalled the sixteen items he had just seen and the four items he had seen in the first round.
Although these items probably wouldn't appear again in the future, he wanted to find some clues about the individual truth from them.
For example, this time, Tang Mo took two steps back. This meant that he had really advanced only two squares, except for the four items he had given up on, which had caused him to move back four squares. The remaining twelve items could be divided into six pairs, a total of six points. Tang Mo answered four pairs of items correctly and two wrong, allowing him to move forward by two squares.
If he found where he was wrong, it would be easier to analyze what the Black Tower recognized as a single truth.
Tang Mo stretched out his hand and drew on the truth clock. Once his hand was pressed on the blue clock, the blue light on the truth clock flickered with the movement of his fingers. The black rabbit was originally standing opposite, staring angrily at Tang Mo. After a few minutes, it saw that Tang Mo kept his head down and ignored it. There was a strange look in its eyes.
In a place where Tang Mo couldn't see, the black rabbit sighed with relief and a tired expression appeared on its fierce and ugly face.
The next second, Tang Mo jerked his head up. The black rabbit was startled and a trace of embarrassment flashed across its big face. Soon, it opened its mouth and shouted angrily, "You … you stupid human! Don't think that the distance between us has shortened and I can't eat you. When I catch up to you, I'm going to eat your eyeballs with wine! "
Tang Mo stared at the black rabbit and the black rabbit repeatedly cursed at him. Once it was tired, Tang Mo said in a calm voice, "Time is up."
The black rabbit was stunned for a moment before recovering. "You are looking at me because of this?"
Tang Mo didn't answer. Instead, 12 blue lights lit up in the centre of the truth clock. Tang Mo and the black rabbit looked at the truth clock again.
In the third round, 12 items appeared on the truth clock. Tang Mo moved forward two squares while the black rabbit moved forward three. This time, the black rabbit was one square ahead and the difference between the two was 29 squares.
The black rabbit opened its mouth. "Hehe, I'm going to catch you again …"
Tang Mo didn't comment. He sat on the ground and quietly thought about the six pairs of items he had just eliminated. He got four points right and two points wrong.
"Which two pairs of items are wrong …"
Tang Mo had long discovered that it was useless to anger the black rabbit. The rabbit wasn't as stupid as it looked. At a critical time, it would calmly analyse the problem and participate in the truth clock game. The only rules he could use at the moment were 'what the black tower recognized is the truth' and 'there can only be one winner on the truth clock.'
If the black rabbit died, he could pass the game directly.
Tang Mo thought of this and looked at the black rabbit again. He didn't know what the black rabbit was thinking. Perhaps it was worried that Tang Mo would look up (not look at it) and scare it. In the 10 minute interval between the start of the game, it kept staring angrily at Tang Mo, as if this was foolproof and Tang Mo wouldn't find anything.
One person and one rabbit stared at each other. 10 minutes passed and countless lights appeared on the truth clock. Tang Mo was startled. Once he saw all the items on the field, the truth clock's emotionless voice was heard.
"Time: 0: 40. Location: truth clock. 48 items rich in truth have appeared."
"After one minute, players 0 and 6, please eliminate the truth."
Tang Mo, "…"
The black rabbit, "…"
Damn!
The long second hand moved again. Tang Mo didn't have time to waste as he quickly scanned every item on the field.
The rules of the black tower game said that 2-58 items would appear on the truth clock. Tang Mo also thought that 58 items appearing at once would make players have no time to sort out the relationship between the items. However, he never expected to encounter so many items so soon and the time given by the truth clock was one minute!
Tang Mo's brain worked at an unprecedented speed and the blue veins on his forehead bulged. His face flushed red, as if he could clearly hear the sound of the nerve cells in his brain exploding one by one. Once all of this was over, Tang Mo's lips trembled and a hoarse voice came out of his mouth as he listened to the truth clock say, "Players start to eliminate items at 6 o 'clock."
"The first pair, rubber bands and tires, they are all rubber products. Apart from these two, there are no rubber products in the other 46 items … "
The hoarse voice seemed to be rubbing against sandpaper. For the first time, Tang Mo felt his mind reach its limit.
He was exhausted.
In the truth clock game, it didn't mean that finding the separate truth between item A and item B didn't mean they had to be eliminated. For example, rubber bands and tires were the only items among the 48 items that had the truth that they were rubber products. They could indeed be eliminated using this separate truth. But it was very likely that rubber bands and ropes could also be eliminated among the other 46 items, because they were all ropes. The tires and steering wheel could also be eliminated because they were one of the components of the car.
Once Tang Mo eliminated the rubber bands and tires, they couldn't be eliminated with the ropes and steering wheel. In the end, the ropes and steering wheel couldn't be eliminated and Tang Mo moved back two squares.
In one minute, Tang Mo had too many things to consider. It wasn't just seeing an item and comparing it with another item. When Tang Mo saw the rubber band, he didn't just consider the tires. He also had to compare the rubber band with the other 47 items in his heart.
"… The 22nd pair, a pile of glass fragments and a mirror. The mirror has glass in its composition. Apart from these two items, all other items don't contain glass. The last four items will be abandoned. "
The blue wall slowly rose and Tang Mo looked at the black rabbit opposite him. The black rabbit's state wasn't much better than his.
The black rabbit's eyes were red and the rabbit was panting violently. The two people looked at each other across the clock. Then, a flat and monotonous voice rang out — —
"Player 0 has triggered the level two sophistry fallacy and Player 6 has triggered the level three grey fallacy. Player 0 has moved back 10 squares and Player 6 has moved forward seven squares. "
Tang Mo's eyes slowly widened. Under his feet, the clock started to tick, and finally landed on the 24th square. Under the black rabbit's feet, the minute hand also moved and finally fell on the tenth square.
The black rabbit's face was extremely ugly. It looked at Tang Mo with astonishment, horror and a touch of imperceptible certainty. It gritted its teeth and hit the ground hard, moving to the 10th square.
Tang Mo thoughtfully walked to the 24th square.
The two people accepted the punishment.
The distance was shortened to 14 squares.
In the next two rounds of the game, there weren't many items on the truth clock. The black rabbit didn't move back 10 squares like in the third round. Instead, it moved forward more squares than Tang Mo and the distance between the two widened to 19 squares. Once the sixth round of items appeared, Tang Mo stood on the 20th square while the black rabbit stood on the 1st square.
The indifferent voice of the truth clock was heard. "Time: 1: 00. Location: Truth clock. Four items rich in difficult truths have appeared."
"After one minute, players 0 and 6, please eliminate the truths."
This time, the items that appeared were rich in difficult truths and it would be more difficult to find the individual truths between them. Tang Mo looked calmly at the four items, ready to analyze them. At this time, a startled voice was heard from the other side of the clock. "Ah, this is the best-selling delicious stowaway barbecued pork bun in the Underground Kingdom …"
The black rabbit's voice stopped and it raised its head stiffly to look at Tang Mo.
Tang Mo raised an eyebrow. He didn't expect the black rabbit to reveal its information when it saw the huge bun.
