Yang Wei was overjoyed. This guy really put the most difficult question first, making this one much easier.
Hmph, isn't the probability the same whether you switch or not? They're deliberately misleading me, giving me all sorts of wrong prompts. Do they think I'm an idiot?
He wrote down the answer directly without changing it, and still not entirely reassured, he added that the probability was the same whether he changed it or not.
Then, satisfied, I looked at the third question:
Five pirates obtained one hundred spirit stones in a robbery. They are divided into five groups: A, B, C, D, and E. A will propose a distribution plan, but it requires the approval of more than half of the pirates to be implemented; otherwise, A will be thrown into the sea, and B, C, D, and E will continue the distribution, and so on. What distribution plan should A propose to obtain the most spirit stones?
Given: Each pirate is a very intelligent person who can rationally assess gains and losses and make choices accordingly.
After reading the question, Yang Wei was stunned. How could this guy's brain be so complicated? He hurriedly started to calculate on the paper. His first thought was 20 for each person, but he immediately rejected that answer and started to calculate another one.
The other students also got into a heated discussion, but they were all talking nonsense and none of them got to the point.
When Shang Liuyu saw the word "pirate," he felt a special connection to it and thought to himself that the questions this little guy had come up with were really interesting.
After a while, Yang Wei took out his handkerchief again to wipe his sweat. He found that his handkerchief was already soaked. Now he was really panicking because he realized that he was not sure if the answer to this question was correct.
How about we look at the next question? Remembering that guy deliberately put the hardest one first, maybe this one will be easier.
Yang Wei swallowed hard and began to read the fourth question:
Five prisoners, numbered 1-5, are tasked with grabbing green beans from a sack containing 100 beans. Each prisoner must grab at least one bean. The prisoner who grabs the most and the prisoner who grabs the fewest beans will be executed. They cannot communicate with each other, but they can feel the number of beans remaining while grabbing. Who has the highest chance of survival?
hint:
1. They are all very intelligent people;
2. Their principle is to save their own lives first, and then kill more people;
3. It's not necessary to divide all 100 pieces;
4. If there are duplicates, they will be counted as the largest or smallest and executed together.
Yang Wei almost cursed. This guy was giving such stupid questions, each one so tricky. They looked simple, but once you thought about them, they were the kind that would make your head explode.
After working on it for a while, Yang Wei, with a dark expression, decided to move on to the next question:
There are 100 people on an island, of whom 5 have red eyes and 95 have blue eyes. The island has three strange religious rules.
1. They cannot look in a mirror, nor can they see the color of their own eyes.
2. They cannot tell others what color the other person's eyes are.
3. Once someone discovers they have red eyes, they must commit suicide that very night.
One day, a traveler arrived on this island. Unaware of the island's customs, he inadvertently remarked while celebrating with the island's inhabitants: "You have people with red eyes here."
The final question is: assuming the people on this island are intelligent enough that each person can make sound logical deductions, what will happen on the island?
Yang Wei's eyes lit up. This question seemed a bit simpler than the previous ones. He picked up his pen and started writing quickly.
...
...
...
And so, Yang Wei alternated between smiling and scratching his head, reading through the questions one by one, until finally he realized that he couldn't answer many of them.
By this time, the classroom door was already crowded with students from other classes. It turned out that get out of class had already ended, and not a single student from the usually most playful Yellow Class had gone out, which aroused the curiosity of other classes. Some people came to check, and soon the news of what had happened spread throughout the entire school, and students from all classes couldn't help but come to watch the show.
Of course, if it were just a competition between Zu'an and Yang Wei, those geniuses from the top class would be too arrogant to bother coming. But with Shang Liuyu here, it's a different story.
Shang Liuyu is the most popular teacher in the school. Many people may not want to attend other teachers' classes, but her classes are always packed, and no one falls asleep or gets distracted—they are too busy admiring her beauty to have time to be distracted.
Of the students who rushed over upon hearing the news, a small portion came to watch the show, while the majority came specifically for Shang Liuyu. However, in the end, they were all drawn to the questions posed by Zu'an.
What makes his problems interesting is that everyone can understand them, and everyone feels they can solve them, unlike some difficult problems that everyone can tell at a glance are beyond their capabilities and then loses interest.
They all began to secretly discuss the solutions to each problem, and even the oddballs in the top class who were only interested in cultivation started to calculate in their minds.
"Brother-in-law is awesome!" The happiest person in the room was Chu Huanzhao. For some reason, seeing him in the limelight felt like she was in the limelight herself. She didn't think much of it and just regarded him as a member of the Chu family, feeling a sense of shared honor and disgrace.
Meanwhile, the petite and adorable Ji Xiaoxi was quietly memorizing the questions in the crowd. Even when her delicate eyebrows were furrowed, they were still quite beautiful: "How do I do these questions? Should I go back and ask Daddy? But Daddy doesn't seem interested in these things. He's only interested in those messy picture books. I don't know where he got a new book recently, but he won't let me touch it. Humph..."
