27 The Feast of Philosophers02
◎This is the last round of the game, please fill in all the remaining forms◎
After the system finished asking the questions, it began assigning audience members to answer: [Each audience member, please infer and confirm one piece of information based on the six questions above. Starting with audience member number one, Tao Ran, we will proceed clockwise, and the last audience member will answer the aforementioned question.]
Tao Ran glanced at Zhu Heng who was sitting on his right. Going clockwise, he was the first audience member, so his brother Zhu was the last one.
On the one hand, he felt fortunate, but on the other hand, he was worried about his brother Zhu. However, he couldn't tell why. It seemed that no difficulty could defeat his brother Zhu, and he was always full of confidence in Zhu Heng.
Tao Ran clenched his palms and concentrated his mind. Based on the information revealed in the first sentence, he picked up the plate of fruit on the table and put it into the food list column in the third room of the form.
System: [Correct. Next.]
The second person was Xu Wenjun. Based on the second sentence, the judge stayed in the first guest room. It was also a simple question and was almost immediately passed.
The third one is Xie Shen.
The question said that the judge lived next to the blue guest room. Since the judge's room had been determined, the answer was obvious. Xie Shen picked up the blue marker and filled in the color in the second room table.
System: [Approved. Fourth viewer, please answer.]
Based on the fourth sentence, Wang Kunshu locked the sixth room on the far right as purple.
【correct. 】
Next is Mr. He.
System: [Now, please ask the fifth person... to answer.]
Some words are too hot to handle, so the system simply skips over them in an attempt to get away with it.
Helan Dao smiled kindly.
You rude and unfilial son, I’ll deal with you after this is over.
After he threatened the system with his consciousness, he raised his eyes to read the fifth sentence.
This sentence is different from the previous one. The original sentence only reveals the information that "the troublemaker lives in the yellow guest room", and it seems that it is impossible to infer a valid conclusion to fill in the form.
But...so what?
As long as you can confirm the correct message, it is fine. There is no requirement to fill in the form.
So he crossed his arms, leaned back against the back of his chair, and said calmly, "The Judge's room is not yellow."
Everyone silently typed out six points.
"And..." He Landao continued, "It's not blue, and certainly not purple, so the Judge's room can only be one of the three colors: red, green, or white."
After a moment of silence, everyone nodded slowly.
It sounds a bit unreasonable, but if you think about it carefully, you can't say he is wrong.
"I'm done." He Landao propped up his arm, pressed his thumb against his jaw, and glanced at Zhu Heng, "Sir, is it your turn now?"
He was quite kind and offered a buy one get three free promotion, helping the audience behind him summarize three pieces of information.
Zhu Heng looked at Helan Dao with a complicated expression.
He really deserves to be sitting on the yellow chair, making serious arguments and being a troublemaker.
He laughed without any emotion.
Then, without saying a word, he picked up a white marker, turned around, and in the first column of the table, below the Judge's Room, he wrote two large characters in a flamboyant style - WHITE.
Although Helan Dao was stirring up trouble, what he said was indeed right.
According to the sixth sentence, the red room has green on its right, and red and green are adjacent. If the first room the judge is in is red, then the room on its right, that is, the second guest room, should be green, which does not match the blue; if the judge's room is green, then there is no red guest room on the left, and it is obvious that this will not work.
Therefore, the place where the judge lives can neither be green nor red.
It can only be... white.
The system prompts: [Successful answer]
[Now, please listen to the second group, which also has six questions.]
07 The man in boots lives in a white room.
08 The person with the dog crest lives next to the person wearing boots.
9. People who live in green rooms love to drink.
10. Inventors love drinking water
11 People who wear cloth shoes like to eat vegetables
12. Next door to the person who likes to eat fish is a person whose family crest is a rabbit.
Dear audience members, what do the judges like to eat? Let's start with audience member number one, Tao Ran.
Tao Ran let out a long sigh. With the foundation laid by Zhu Heng earlier, it was easy to infer from the seventh sentence that the judge living in the white room wore boots.
He took the pair of boots from the table and put them in the first column.
Based on Tao Ran's conclusion, Xu Wenjun inferred from the eighth sentence that the person living in the second room had a family emblem of a puppy.
The first two questions were simple, but starting from the 9th sentence, it became somewhat similar to Helan Dao's situation in the previous round.
However, with Helan Dao's previous "stirring up trouble," Xie Shen followed suit and replied to the system: "People who like to drink live in the green room. So, the judge living in the white room doesn't like to drink, so we can rule out alcohol. We can also rule out the fruit in the third room, which was determined from the beginning."
What he said made sense, so the system approved him.
Next is the 10th sentence, which is similar to the previous one. Those who like to drink water are inventors, so water is also excluded.
Wang Kunshu concluded: "The judge does not drink alcohol, fruit, or water, so there are only three options left: he can eat vegetables, meat, or fish."
Helan Dao continued, "If the judge wears boots, then he must not like vegetables, because people who like vegetables wear cloth shoes. Therefore, the judge can only eat fish or meat."
All the previous inferences were correct, and the key match point once again fell into Zhu Heng's hands.
"Suppose the judge eats fish," Zhu Heng said calmly. "The person who eats fish lives next door to someone whose family crest is a rabbit. Then the second room's family crest would be a rabbit, contradicting the dog crest inferred from the eighth sentence. Therefore, it can't be fish."
He cleared his mind, lined up the food list below the judge, and placed the only remaining answer—the piece of meat—on it.
Absolutely correct.
[Now we are going to review the situation. Please check the currently known information. ]
Everyone looked at the holographic image on the table.
The one with the most information is the Judge, who lives in the first room, likes to eat meat, wears boots, and has a white room.
The second room only has two pieces of information: the family crest is a puppy and the room is blue.
The third room only knows that it likes to eat fruit.
There is currently no information about the fourth and fifth rooms.
As for the sixth room on the far right, the only confirmed color is purple.
After the review, the system continued: [Next, please listen to the third group. This group has only 4 questions.]
13 People who live in purple rooms like to eat fish.
[14 The idealist's family crest is a horse.]
15. The family crest of the meteorologist is a rabbit.
16. The hermit is barefoot.
[Excuse me, who lives in the second room? ]
"Should I go first?" Tao Ran looked around. There were six of them in total, but there were only four clues in this round. What should he do if there were still two people left without answers?
"Don't worry." Zhu Heng nodded to him. "There aren't many clues this time, but the information is enough."
Tao Ran finally felt relieved. Since his brother Zhu said it was enough, then it must be enough.
So he filled in the simplest one first - the person living in the sixth purple room on the far right eats fish.
Xu Wenjun raised his eyes slightly, his eyes as calm as water.
Zhu Heng is right. Although there are only four questions in this round, don’t forget that there are 12 clues ahead.
There are a total of 16 pieces of information, which is more than enough to infer the owner of the second room from the known information.
She said, "The owner of the second room cannot be Troublemaker, because the second room is blue, and Troublemaker lives in the yellow room."
The system says: [Correct, next.]
Xie Shen and Wang Kunshu, both veterans of the Central City Archaeological Team, had watched over 500 episodes. Naturally, they reacted quickly, following Xu Wenjun and releasing two similar messages:
The owner of the second room cannot be an idealist, because according to sentence 14, the family crest of an idealist is a horse, while the family crest of the second room is a puppy, which does not correspond.
By the same token, there can't be a meteorologist whose family crest is a rabbit.
Eliminate the judge, the troublemaker, the idealist, and the meteorologist, and all that remains is the hermit or the inventor.
The problem then shifted to Helan Dao.
"Let's assume the owner of the second room is a hermit," Helan Dao said in a relaxed tone. "Then, what does he like to eat?"
He pointed to the first room on the list, where the piece of meat they had deduced just a few minutes ago was placed under the name of the judge. "First of all, the hermit doesn't like to eat meat, so it's ruled out."
"Secondly, he doesn't like eating fruit." Helan Dao's finger moved towards the third room.
"Of course I don't like eating fish either, because people who eat fish live in the sixth room."
"According to sentence 9, people who live in the green room like to drink, but our second room is blue, so drinking is also ruled out."
"Look at sentence 10 again. The inventor loves to drink water, so he continues to eliminate water."
"Excluding meat, fruit, fish, wine, and water, only a handful of vegetables remain."
"Does a hermit eat vegetables?" He picked up the vegetables and examined them carefully, as if he would never be anxious. "I don't think so, because the 11th sentence says that people who wear cloth shoes like to eat vegetables, but our hermit is a barefoot person."
"So the owner of the second room can't be a hermit."
Helan Dao stopped pushing here and did not go any further.
He raised his eyes to look at Zhu Heng and said, "A favor for you?"
"Just consider it for this..." Helan Dao's gaze lingered on Zhu Heng's left chest for a few seconds, "Apology."
What kind of apology is this?
Zhu Heng's face turned terribly dark.
What a shameless guy.
However, Zhu Heng has never had any moral bottom line. He does things according to his own preferences. If he doesn't take advantage of something that comes to him, he's a fool.
As for what Helan Dao did to him...
Oh.
When a gentleman takes revenge, once is never enough.
He glanced at Helan Dao with a dark look in his heart, but remained calm on the surface. He followed the steps given by the other party and said: "So the person living in the second room is the inventor."
[The answer is correct.]
[Please continue to listen to the fourth group, which contains only 3 clues.]
[17 The Hermit's family emblem is a bird]
18. People whose family crest is a fox wear sandals.
19. The person wearing straw sandals lives next door to the person whose crest is an eagle.
[Please note that this is the final round of the game. Please fill out all remaining forms. In addition, all restrictions will be lifted in this round, and everyone can enter the free discussion session.]
