I'm working as a warehouse manager in SCP

Ning Ning snorted, "Anyway, you just don't want to spend money."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly frowned, remembering what Yang Xue said just now.

It seems that she really pays too much attention to money.

But there is no way, she was brought up by her grandparents since she was a child, and what she lacks most is money.

You need money to go to school, you need money to eat, and you can’t do anything without money.

She once swore that she would earn a lot of money, marry a rich husband, and slap those who looked down on her severely in the face.

But Yang Xue's words overturned her cognition. Could there be more important things besides wealth and looks?

how is this possible.

Sister Yang Xue must have made a mistake, it must be.

……

Regarding her teasing, Zhang Jue didn't refute. He laughed and squeezed into the crowd, listening to the host's questions.

The tall and good-looking host stood on the special stage for the event and said with a smile: "The question just now was a little difficult. It is very rare for Mr. Jas to answer it within 20 minutes. Please, Mr. Jas, please come into the store with our staff. Register your personal information, and there will be a small gift later—then our grand finale will be next. This is the last and most difficult question tonight. Let’s see if you can win the mysterious Grand prize, please listen carefully to the questions."

The penultimate question that Jas answered correctly just now was an arithmetic problem. The original correct solution was a tricky algorithm demonstrated in a mathematician's paper, but how could these ordinary citizens know that it was Mr. Jas who used the calculator on his mobile phone to brute force the solution? Yes, I heard that there are more difficult questions. Instead of being afraid, everyone is looking forward to it.

As soon as the host finished speaking, everyone present fell silent, waiting excitedly or nervously, wanting to see how difficult this last question would be.

The host cleared his throat lightly, and said in a gentle voice, "Once upon a time, there were five pirates, and they intercepted a hundred gold coins."

"But because of the distribution problem, there was a little conflict, so they came up with a way."

"Five pirates will draw lots, and propose distribution plans in the order they are drawn, and the others will vote to decide whether to agree."

"Only when more than half of the people agree, the plan will be implemented—note, it must be passed by more than half, 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 be distributed so that he can get the most money without being killed, and how much money he can get at most?"

"Everyone has a chance, the first to answer correctly wins, and the answer begins."

……

so complicated!

Such a long topic made those onlookers a little dizzy.

Everyone lowered their heads and thought, each with a sad face, as if they were the pirates who were about to be thrown into the sea.

"Equally divided, twenty gold coins per person!" A person in the crowd shouted.

Equal distribution, this is probably the answer that everyone first thought of. According to usual experience, it seems to be more reasonable, but the host shook his head.

Another person laughed and said: "Of course the first person dare not ask for gold coins, he will be thrown into the sea, so it should be 0, and the others will get 25 gold coins each!"

Such a plan sounds more reasonable, but the host shook his head again, indicating that this answer is not correct, and cannot maximize the interests of the first person.

In this way, a few minutes passed, and still no one came up with the correct answer.

Because once there is an answer, everyone will immediately deny it, and then they will be thrown into the sea clamoring.

In addition, everyone has only one chance to answer the question, so even if they get the right amount by chance, it is even more difficult to tell the specific distribution plan.

So everyone stopped talking before they were fully sure.

Ning Ning and Yang Xue stood on the periphery of the crowd and heard the question clearly.

Although Ning Ning is a liberal arts student, she thinks she has a good foundation in mathematics, but she still couldn't come to a conclusion in a short time. She asked Yang Xue, "Sister, do you know the answer?"

Yang Xue shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

The difficulty of this type of game-type problem is not top-notch. If you can check the calculation with paper and pen, and give it a little more time, most people may be able to solve it.

However, the shopping mall is full of people. In such an environment, it is extremely difficult to calm down and think, let alone arrive at the optimal solution within the specified time.

Just because she can't, doesn't mean everyone can't.

Yang Xue looked at Zhang Jue in the crowd and smiled knowingly.

Looking at Yang Xue's eyes, Ning Ning trembled slightly in her heart.

Girls are very sensitive to feelings, even if Yang Xue doesn't admit it, she can still tell that her elder sister looks at that person named Zhang Jue with light in her eyes.

So she was very puzzled, what kind of magical power does that seemingly ordinary man have.

If it's just relying on rhetoric, then she must help her sister expose him.

Her eyes turned to the stage again.

……

Five minutes had passed, and the host couldn't help being secretly proud when he saw that everyone in the audience still hadn't come up with an answer.

She looked at the card in her hand, and also showed a surprised expression, as if she couldn't believe the number written on it. Such an outrageous answer, most people would never think of it.

Inside the store, the manager gestured to her, and the host nodded slightly.

Just as she was about to give a hint, a man with an oriental face smiled at her.

"Sister host, I know the answer."

So fast?

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

The host also smiled and said, "Sir, everyone has only one chance to answer the question. If you are confident, please tell me, how many gold coins can the first person get at most?"

Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Jue tilted his head and said an answer that shocked everyone's jaws.

"The first person can get 97 gold coins."

Chapter 123 Answering Questions and Winning Treasures

"What? 97 pieces?!"

The audience in the audience was in an uproar, staring at the oriental man with wide eyes, thinking he was crazy.

Although everyone's answers were denied by the host, most of them seemed reasonable.

And this person actually said that the first pirate could win 97 gold coins, so he thought the remaining four pirates were fools.

Everyone was whispering and looking at this ignorant oriental with disdainful eyes, as if he was really going to be thrown into the sea next.

Even Ning Ning, who was still a little surprised just now, was discouraged: "Sister Yang Xue, do you think he is stupid, the first person gets 97 coins, and the remaining four people can only get three coins in total, how could others agree. "

Yang Xue was also a little surprised when she heard this answer, but the biggest difference between her and others was that she always believed in Zhang Jue unconditionally.

She knew Zhang Jue well, and seeing him like that, she knew that he had already made up his mind.

Sure enough, the host was slightly taken aback when he heard Zhang Jue's words, but he did not directly announce the death penalty to his answer as before, but asked with a smile: "Sir, do you know the specific distribution plan? "

The host's words made everyone's expressions change. Did this kid really guess right?

The first person can get 97 gold coins?How can this be?

I saw Zhang Jue snapping his fingers like a child.

"The first person has 97 coins, the second person has zero coins, the third person has one coin, the fourth person has two coins, and the fifth person has zero coins; or the first person has 97 coins, the second person has zero coins, the third person has one coin, Zero for four people, two for the fifth person."

After listening to his narration, the host checked with the card in his hand and smiled, "Congratulations, you got the answer right."

"what?!"

The audience in the audience exclaimed again, this most unlikely answer turned out to be correct, how could this be?

"I don't accept it! How could it be assigned like this, you guys cheated! Find someone to say a random number and pretend it's the correct answer. You obviously don't want us to win the big prize." A good-natured person shouted.

"That's right, it's not a reasonable compilation, to deceive consumers?" Another good-natured person responded.

"No." Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, the host quickly defended, "We didn't collude with anyone. The store manager gave me the question and answer. What this gentleman said is indeed correct. The answers match."

The first person who shouted said again: "Even if you are not in collusion, but this answer is obviously impossible to be correct, so there is no reasonable explanation?"

"This..." The host was at a loss for words, and the answer sheet had a limited space. The store manager just printed the question and answer on it, and did not explain how to get the correct answer. She looked at Zhang Jue in embarrassment, hoping that the person who had just answered the question correctly could help her.

This group of people obviously can't afford it. Is this the characteristic of Great America?

But since there are prizes to be won, Zhang Jue is naturally obliged, he said with a smile: "Everyone, don't make things difficult for her, let me explain."

"First of all, we have to figure out the conditions given by the title."

"1. Five people distribute gold coins in turn. If half or more of them disagree, they will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, and the next person will continue to distribute until a plan that more than half agrees with is obtained; 2. Everyone is rational, intelligent and Be trustworthy."

"Sufficient rationality means that we must put survival first. Whether we can get gold coins or not, we must ensure that we can survive. Knowing this, we can start to analyze."

"Assuming that there are only the fourth and fifth people left, it is conceivable that no matter what distribution plan the fourth person proposes, as long as the fifth person disagrees, he will sink to the bottom of the sea. Even if it is 0:100, there are still half The probability of death depends on the mood of the fifth person."

"So when the third person foresees such a situation, he will propose a 100:0:0 plan. Although the fourth person didn't score a point, he saved his life anyway."

"By analogy, if the second person knows the division method of the third person, he will propose 98:0:1:1, so that the fourth person and the fifth person each have an extra one, and they will be happy agree."

"Back to the topic, No.1 knows the method of the second person, and will adjust the distribution plan to 97:0:1:0:2 or 97:0:1:2:0, so that the third person will have more Get one, the fourth or fifth person will get one more, plus number one yourself, the three agree, if the number is more than half, naturally they will not be thrown into the sea."

Silent.

Everyone was thinking hard about the several situations that Zhang Jue said, and no one dared to speak again.

"I understand!" Ning Ning said suddenly, it turned out that it was going to be counted backwards!

Yang Xue patted her hand, signaling her to pay attention to her image.

Seeing that Yang Xue was always calm and calm, Ning Ning asked, "Sister, have you already figured out the answer?"

Yang Xue shook her head when she heard the words. She only came up with the solution after Zhang Jue's prompt. This question may not be the kind of problem that requires a super high IQ, but there are not many people who can rationally analyze it in a short period of time and come up with the best practice.

After a few more minutes, the voice of "Isee" was heard one after another from the crowd. It seemed that the rest of the people gradually understood the principle under Zhang Jue's reminder.

"Crack, crack, crack, crack."

Just when the crowd was about to leave, a man in a suit came out of the jewelry store. He applauded and said, "This gentleman can solve the finale topic of our store in such a short period of time. It is really impressive."

When the beauty host saw the man in the suit come out, she quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Louis."

Louis waved to her, and continued Zhang Jue said: "I have an additional question here, I wonder if this gentleman is interested."

Louis is the manager of this store, and the reason for his appearance is also very simple.

Zhang Jue's speed of solving the problem was too fast, completely beyond his expectation, and it would not achieve the effect of publicity at all.

Once the crowd dispersed, the price to be paid would be even greater if they wanted to gather again, so he had no choice but to make a move.

Zhang Jue looked at him, and probably guessed the matter pretty well.

"What's the benefit of me answering the question, and what's the harm of not answering?"

Louis said with a smile: "Sir, if you answered this question correctly before, you will get a jade bracelet. Although it has a unique shape, its material is very common. You can buy it anywhere in the market. If you dare to accept the challenge of the next question, our store will A gift that is not easy to come by."

Seeing him playing tricks, Zhang Jue asked with a smile, "What?"

Louis pointed to the largest billboard in the mall: "Tickets for that game."

When everyone turned their heads, what they saw was the promotional video of the newly promoted boxing champion Hudson dating Fang Tianlong, a fighter from the Warring States Period.

"Wow--"

There was a lot of envy at the scene. Although this game was not as good as a super event like the Super Bowl, it was full of fun. It could be said that even a man was very interested in it.

The store manager is good at marketing and is obviously a veteran in this field. As soon as his conditions were announced, many people stopped and stayed.

It seems that regardless of whether Zhang Jue wins the reward in the end, his propaganda goal has been achieved.

Zhang Jue asked, "What if I can't answer?"

Louis said: "If the master can't answer, then the bracelet you just won can't be given to you."

"So that's the case." Zhang Jue nodded without any hesitation, "I won't answer, just give me the things."

"What?" Louis was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Zhang Jue to be unmoved, "Sir, you have to think carefully, don't miss this opportunity, even if you resell this ticket, it will be worth a lot of money."

Zhang Jue let out a sigh: "Don't think about it, it's decided like this."

Zhang Jue spoke resolutely, and did not give Louis a chance to persuade him at all.

His goal is very clear, just win a gift for Yang Xue.
