The rules are simple to understand and sound easy to handle. Even a blind guess should give you a 50% chance of passing.

But Lin Han had heard this before, at the treasure appraisal competition in Xidu Province.

They didn't tell anyone to find the true one between the two, so it's possible that both are true, or it's possible that both are false.

Having seen this trick once, he would not be fooled again, but he was not fooled the first time.

After the staff handed paper and pen to everyone, the competition began.

Lin Han did not use the Eye of True Vision, but directly observed the condition of the two bottles with his naked eyes.

It is not difficult to see that both bottles are fakes, because both bases are fake and the workmanship is not very good. Anyone who is not a novice can tell it.

But this made Lin Han confused. If it was so easy to tell the truth from the false, then what was the point of this knockout round?

The knockout round is set up because there are too many people with varying strengths, in order to save time and eliminate the waste.

Simply put, it's like a sieve, but the openings in the sieve are too big.

If almost everyone can pass, then this competition will be meaningless.

As the organizers, two highly respected and far-sighted right-hand men, would they do such a thing? That would be too shameful!

Therefore, Lin Han can be sure that this elimination match is a trap. It is easy to distinguish the real from the fake, but it is just a psychological fallacy that makes people relax and feel that they are very powerful.

When you are arrogant, that is, when you are careless, this kind of mistake is likely to occur during school exams.

"I see!"

After Lin Han looked at it carefully, he suddenly realized the reason for setting up this elimination competition and knew which one was real.

By this time the time was almost up, and after he wrote down the answers, Mr. Chen asked them to hand the answers to the staff to read out one by one.

There is a huge LCD screen behind the "left and right hands". As soon as the staff reads out a person's answer, that person's name and the answer he wrote down will appear on it.

The first one was someone Lin Han didn’t know, and both of the names he wrote were fake.

The second one is still someone I don’t know, so the answer is True on the left.

The third one is still an unfamiliar person, Zhen on the right.

Seeing these three completely different answers, people around were talking about who would advance to the next round.

After all, there are only these three answers, and someone must have got it right.

Xiaoxiang, who was watching from the outside, couldn't help but discuss with Yueying.

"Who do you think won? What answer did Lin Han write? He looks so confident, so he should be able to win, right?"

Yueying glanced at Lin Han and found that he was just as confident as Xiaoxiang said.

"I don't know." Yueying shook her head.

"Ah? Don't you know? You are the granddaughter of the leader, you should know the answer, right?"

Xiaoxiang widened his eyes and looked at Yueying in surprise.

But she immediately suspected that Yueying was hiding it from her on purpose. After all, there were so many people around, so it was normal that she didn't tell her.

So I just winked at her, meaning to give her a hint that she could understand.

Yueying sighed and looked at the "right and left hands" at the judging desk with a wry smile.

"I really don't know what the answer is. These questions were arranged by Elder Chen and Elder Yang. And in order to prevent the situation like that in Xidu Province, they prepared a lot of antiques.

As far as I know, there are thirteen sets, and they all decide on the spot which set to use to test the treasure appraiser’s ability.”

"So that's it!" Xiaoxiang understood after hearing Yueying's words.

Just like exams in some places, in order to prevent students next to them from peeking, there are several sets of test papers, and different ones are given to each person.

In order to prevent others from knowing the test questions in advance, I will decide which set of test questions to use based on my mood on the spot.

This can indeed avoid cheating, and the decision-makers are only two people in high positions of power. In this way, there is no possibility of cheating unless they can be bribed.

"So what do you think? Which one do you think is real?" Xiaoxiang continued to ask.

Although she didn't know the answer, she was after all a capable treasure appraiser, and her father and grandfather were both heavyweight treasure appraisers.

She can give the correct answer by looking with her own eyes, right?

"It's obvious that both are fake. Anyone who is not a beginner can see it. But the elimination match won't be that simple. There must be something that we don't know."

After Yueying finished speaking, she looked at the huge display screen. Not many people wrote down the answer "Both are fake", only a few.

This shows that the vast majority of people are not that stupid.

But many people don’t know which one is real. Knowing that both are fake, they can only try their luck.

"So do you think Lin Han can win? Did he write left or right?" Xiaoxiang looked at Lin Han and asked expectantly.

Yueying pursed her lips, looked at the man whom he had never been able to understand, and said seriously:

"I think he will have his own answer, and I think that answer must be correct!"

Looking at Yueying who was so serious, Xiaoxiang nodded. She also agreed with Yueying's words that Lin Han would definitely win!

And now, Lin Han’s answer finally came!

"Lin Han, what's above the base is real, and the base is fake!"

"Huh? What kind of answer is this?"

"It didn't say which one was true. Didn't he understand the question? He had to choose which one was true!"

"He means that the bases of the two objects are real, right? But both bases are fake, so doesn't that mean it should be considered fake? This thing is a whole!"

…

The people around were surprised and puzzled after hearing Lin Han's answer. They didn't understand how Lin Han could give such an answer.

"It's really unpredictable! It sounds like the game is over. Do you still believe him?" Xiaoxiang smiled and looked at Yueying curiously.

"Believe!" Yueying's voice was sonorous and powerful, and her eyes were firm.

"Silence!" Boss Chen shouted, and the meeting room finally quieted down.

The staff continued to read out the names and answers.

Soon it was Du Rongsheng's turn, and Lin Han listened carefully.

He didn't care about other people's answers, but he cared about Du Rongsheng's answer.

If Du Rongsheng gives the same answer as him, then they can both advance to the next game.

If not, the result is separation, or both people are eliminated.

But Lin Han knew very well that his answer was correct!

"Du Rongsheng, what's above the base is real, and the base is fake!"

"It's the same answer as that person!"

"Unbelievable! I already thought it was impossible for anyone to write such an outrageous answer!"

…

If one person writes an outrageous answer, people will be surprised and puzzled. But if two people write the same outrageous answer, people will have to doubt whether this is the real answer.
