I’m In Charge of SCP

In the shopping mall, Zhang Jue thought about it, and really didn't know what to buy for Yang Xue, so he simply pointed to the jewelry store that was interacting with answering questions: "It's better to hit something than to choose something, I'll go and win a gift for your sister Yang Xue." How about it."

Ning Ning looked at the crowd surrounded by circles in front of him, and said, "It's up to you?"

It's not that she looks down on Zhang Jue. Since the jewelry store dares to carry out this kind of activity, the questions it asks are naturally extremely difficult. They watched here for more than ten minutes, and there were dozens of people in large and small circles next to the host, but none of them Yes, are you smarter than them?

Zhang Jue didn't say anything big, just said with a smile: "Try it, in case you get hit by mistake, I got the answer right."

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 can it be.

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, and it was very rare for Mr. James to answer it within 20 minutes. Please, Mr. James, 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 James answered correctly just now was an arithmetic problem. The original correct solution was a tricky algorithm demonstrated in a mathematician's paper, but how would these ordinary citizens know that Mr. James 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 can the first pirate distribute the money 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.

Evenly distributed, this is probably the first answer that everyone thinks of,

According to usual experience, it seems 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 twenty-five 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 is not top-notch. If you can use paper and pen to check the calculation 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 the person named Zhang Jue with light in her eyes.

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

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 it, ninety-seven gold coins."
