At 8 o'clock, several girls also wanted to wake up.
They quickly washed up, and thankfully, even without makeup, their skin wasn't too bad thanks to their consistent skincare routine; it was still presentable.
After a while, Suya also woke up.
It feels so good to have had a good sleep.
In the morning, everyone drank sparkling water and ate some snacks.
Junjunzi found a few packs of cookies in the snack box, and that's how he made do for breakfast today.
"Sister, what do we do next?"
Su Linxi saw her younger sister walking over and asked.
Let's look for clues; there must be clues about the ship here.
"Didn't the production team say that boats pass by every day?"
"I think they're lying to us. The ship should come at a fixed time, but not every day."
The director, who was standing in front of the monitor, never expected that she would even guess this.
Indeed, the ship passes by the island every day, but passing by doesn't mean entering the island. It just stays near the island but doesn't stop. The distance could be 100 kilometers or 200 kilometers, and it's not certain which direction it passes by.
They could only find the ship by calculating the direction and time it would take.
After the 10 people finished breakfast, they prepared to set off.
Before leaving, Suya said, "Bring back anything suspicious you see. It's best to pair up for safety. Then split up and head in four directions."
So everyone stopped in their tracks.
The first group member, Kinako, said, "Let's go south."
She had her own agenda. They had already searched for supplies in the east and west yesterday. So only the south and north were still without supplies.
Chu Kening then added, "Then let's go north."
She and Kinako had the same idea. They had already been to the east and west sides yesterday, but they hadn't been to the south and north sides yet.
“Let’s go east,” Lishulu and Anyadi said.
“Let’s go west,” Junjunzi said to Yan Jingqing.
“My second brother and I are searching on the beach,” Su Ya said.
"Once we find a clue, we'll meet here."
"good."
So the five teams set off in several different directions.
Su Ya and Su Linxi walked along the beach.
A thick tree branch broke off along the way.
"Little sister, what are you doing with this?"
"Digging sand."
Suya just realized that, given the show's intentions, clues would definitely be buried somewhere, but it's uncertain where exactly they would be buried.
The two of them dug as they walked, and they dug almost the entire beach.
It's very hot at the beach during the day, and they were all sweating.
Su Linxi was too exhausted to walk any further.
He saw a large rock not far away, so he sat down next to it, intending to rest for a while. Whether the rock was unstable or he used too much force, the rock wobbled.
So Su Linxi sat up, wanting to find another place.
Suya, however, noticed something under the stone.
"Second brother, don't move."
Su Linxi was so frightened by her sister's words that she froze, thinking something was wrong.
As a result, Suya pulled a piece of paper out from under the stone, with several questions written on it.
Sylvie's age this year is the opposite of her grandfather's age. When Sylvie reaches her grandfather's current age, assuming he is still alive, his age will be the sum of these two ages, separated by a zero. How old is Sylvie this year?
Suya arrived at the answer at age 16.
Live Stream Room:
Where are the top students?
Here comes the genius: When Sylvie reaches her grandfather's current age, he will be 10A years old. Therefore, Sylvie will be 1A years old this year, a difference of 90 years. 90 years is exactly twice the age difference between Sylvie and her grandfather this year.
Therefore, the problem can be simplified to: A1-1A=45, which gives A=6.
Sylvie is 16 years old this year, and her grandfather is 61 years old; when Sylvie lives to be her grandfather's current age, if her grandfather is still alive, he should be 106 years old.
Su Linxi was a little confused. What did being 16 years old have to do with a ship? The two seemed completely unrelated.
Next question:
At 6:00 AM sharp, the bells of St. Oralley chime six times, with a 5-second interval between the first and sixth chimes. How many seconds will be between the first and fourth chimes at 7:00 AM sharp?
Suya quickly gave the answer: 1 second.
The top student is here:
At 6:00, there are five intervals between the first and sixth chimes. Therefore, there is a one-second interval between two consecutive chimes.
"No, none of these answers are correct." Suya's mind raced. There were three intervals between the first and fourth chimes, meaning a three-second gap. Of course, four chimes would only occur after 4 PM. So the ship should arrive after 4 PM. But what day is that? And what's the significance of the 16?
Today is January 21st. Suya remembers that the holiday started on January 16th. They recorded a program for three days and then took a one-day break. That means only five days have passed.
Su Ya took the paper and returned to the tent with Su Linxi, only to find that the other teams had already returned.
What did you find?
Kinako and Mumuko shook their heads. They thought they would find something, but they didn't find anything.
Chu Kening and Chu Kexin also shook their heads, having gained nothing.
Lishu and Anyadi also shook their heads, finding nothing as well.
Su Ya looked at Yan Jingqing.
"We found a piece of paper."
So Yan Jingqing took out the paper.
They were lucky, really. They searched back and forth in that direction three times without finding anything. Just when they were about to give up, they saw something that seemed to be clamped in the claws of a crab in the sand ahead.
So Yan Jingqing stepped forward and used a little trick to make the crab drop the food.
That's when I realized it was just a piece of paper.
He guessed that the production crew had buried the item in the sand, and it was accidentally dug out by crabs that burrow in the sand, which is why they hadn't found it after searching for so long.
So I brought the questions back with me.
Grandpa's old-fashioned clock has its hour and minute hands coinciding every 66 minutes. If you set the clock at 8 o'clock in the morning, when the hour hand points to 8 o'clock again the next morning, it actually indicates the exact time.
Suya provided the answer. It was actually 8:12.
Then Su Ya gave the piece of paper she had found to Yan Jingqing.
Yan Jingqing quickly gave his answer.
16 years old, 1 second, 8.12 minutes, but what does it matter what these numbers mean?
"I just deduced that it was after 4 p.m.
"How did you figure that out?"
"16 is 4 PM. And here too." Su Ya pointed to the next question.
"There are three intervals between the first and fourth chimes, so each interval is 3 seconds. Of course, the four chimes would only occur after 4 o'clock. So the ship should arrive after 4 pm. And according to the clues you found, it would be 8:12 pm, but I have no clue as to which day it is."
Suya explained.
"You're so smart, I didn't even think of that," Yan Jingqing said flatteringly.
