Chapter 35: Guess the Stone
The middle-aged scribe looked at Jian Wuji in a daze, and then looked up to the sky and laughed: "Senior brother, I understand, then do what Xiaoyou said." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Li Jiawen smiled and said: "Thank you for the understanding of the two division commanders, then I will talk about the rules of the game, three stones, one for each person, you can choose to take out or not take out this stone, and then we will guess the total number of stones in the hands of the three people, the one who guesses wins, of course, it is worth mentioning that the divine sense is not allowed to be used in the whole process, and others are not allowed to hint." β
Three stones, one for each person, three people take or do not take, so there are four results, which are 0, 1, and 2.3.
Because the probability that the three of them don't take it is one in eight, and the probability that all three of them take it is also one in eight, and the probability that only one of the three people and only two people take it is three out of eight, so according to the probability of guessing one and two is the safest, so the two who guess first have an advantage, and the last person is disadvantaged.
The three of them sat on the steps in front of the palace, and then at the same time clenched their right hands into fists and stretched out, which may or may not have stones in them.
A very simple game, but everyone seems to be nervous.
Jian Wuji was the most nervous, and said provocatively to the middle-aged scribe: "Fifth junior brother, with your habit of cleaning a fallen leaf on the ground, you must not be used to grabbing an ordinary stone in the palm of your hand, right?" So your fist is empty, right? β
The middle-aged scribe said without changing his face: "According to what you say, senior brother, of course my hands are empty, and my senior brother's personality is simply incompatible with me, and your house will not be cleaned when it stinks, so you must be holding a stone in your hand, right?" β
Jian Wuji immediately panicked: "You, don't spew blood, I clean it once a month!" And you see my hand, so thin, if I hold a stone, you will definitely see it at a glance, I don't hold a stone at all! β
"Your majestic expression has proven everything, senior brother, don't lie, just hold it, and it's not ashamed to be guessed by me."
Jian Wuji snorted coldly, then looked at Li Jiawen flatteringly, and asked, "Young man, you secretly tell me, do you hold the stone?" β
Li Jiawen smiled and said, "Hold it." β
The middle-aged scribe knocked on the side and said, "Why do you want to hold it?" β
Li Jiawen said: "Because this stone is like a chess piece, and I don't like the chess piece to jump out of my control." β
"This sentence is suspicious of trying to cover up."
"Perhaps, but that's the essence of this game, believe it or not, it's all voluntary."
Jian Wuji said a little eagerly: "Oh, don't try to come and try, let's guess directly!" β
"Senior brother, you are in such a hurry, it must be that the horse's feet are exposed too much, and you can't hide it anymore, right?" The middle-aged scribe provoked: "Then you guess first, I didn't hold it, you held it, and Xiaoyou also held it, you guess two, it's quite suitable for you." β
"You're only two!" Jian Wuji said angrily: "And I said, I don't hold a stone in my hand at all!" β
"In that case, then you can guess one." The middle-aged scribe said with a gleam in his eyes: "Or you don't believe in Xiaoyou, it's okay to guess zero." β
Jian Wuji was a little in a dilemma, and the middle-aged scribe was calculating in his heart, if Jian Wuji was stupid enough to guess zero, then Jian Wuji would definitely not hold it in his hand, so the chance of the middle-aged scribe guessing would become greater.
"Oh, I don't care, I guess two!" Jian Wuji suddenly said like a scoundrel.
The middle-aged scribe immediately couldn't laugh, this old guy pretended to be stupid on the surface, but he was actually very shrewd in his bones, and he didn't guess one or zero, but actually guessed two.
Since Jian Wuji guessed two, then the probability that he is holding the stone in his hand is very high, and Li Jiawen looks honest, maybe he really holds it in his hand, and the middle-aged scribe is a little difficult to choose, because he is not holding the stone because of cleanliness as Jian Wuji said, he is actually holding the stone in his hand.
Since he holds the stone, then zero is eliminated first, and Jian Wuji guesses two, and the middle-aged scribe has to guess one and three.
"Senior brother, you won't be pretending to be stupid on purpose, right?" The middle-aged scribe stared at Jian Wuji's eyes, trying to see something from them.
Jian Wuji's eyes dodged, and he didn't know if he was weak or acting.
At this time, the middle-aged scribe was confused, Li Jiawen said that he held it in his hand, and Jian Wuji said that he didn't hold it in his hand, if Li Jiawen lied, and Jian Wuji didn't lie, then these two people didn't hold it, then the number is one.
If Li Jiawen didn't lie, and Jian Wuji lied, then both of them were holding it, then the number would be three.
If Li Jiawen didn't lie, and even Jian Wuji didn't lie, then the number is two, and two has been chosen by Jian Wuji.
It stands to reason that the middle-aged scribe is sure that Jian Wuji is lying, so he should make a choice between two and three, but Jian Wuji's expression just now is very strange, it seems that he has put a deep trap on the middle-aged scribe, maybe Jian Wuji is not lying, he really didn't hold the stone, he just deliberately pretended to be flustered and wanted to lie to him.
Thinking of this, then three was automatically excluded by the middle-aged scribe, and two was chosen, and now only one is the most suitable choice.
"Since you choose two, then I'll choose one!" The middle-aged scribe made up his mind that he was ready to gamble that Jian Wuji was not lying, and Li Jiawen was lying!
According to probability, the probability of one is three out of eight, and the probability of two is also three out of eight.
At this time, whether Li Jiawen chooses zero or three, he only has a one-in-eight chance of winning.
"I'll pick three." Li Jiawen said.
The middle-aged scribe immediately looked like ashes, because Li Jiawen chose three, which means that Li Jiawen must have a stone in his hand, and he himself has a stone in his hand, then the answer can only be two and three, and the middle-aged scribe chooses one, and he will definitely be out! And if it is really as the middle-aged scribe thought, Jian Wuji did not lie, then Jian Wuji won.
Jian Wuji didn't expect so much, but hurriedly said to Li Jiawen: "You open your fist first, and I'll see if you hold the stone." β
Li Jiawen slowly opened his fist, as he said before, he was indeed holding a stone in his hand.
Seeing the stone in Li Jiawen's hand, Jian Wuji immediately opened his teeth and claws with joy, he hurriedly opened his own fist and mocked the middle-aged scribe: "I also hold the stone, and I also hold it, so now there are two, fifth junior brother, you guess one, you have already lost!" β
The middle-aged scribe also laughed with a strange face: "You old fellow, you are still so fond of deceiving people, why am I so stupid to think that you will suddenly become smart and play a trick, but it doesn't matter if you lie to me, but it also hurts yourself." β
"What do you mean?" Jian Wuji was puzzled.
The middle-aged scribe opened his palm, and he also held the stones in his hand, so it added up to three.
Li Jiawen won.
Jian Wuji was dumbfounded, and then he roared at the middle-aged scribe: "Why do you want to hold a stone too!" What kind of pebbles are you holding for a cleanliness maniac! I should have won, I should have won! β
The middle-aged scribe shrugged his shoulders: "Eh, I'm also smart but I was mistaken by being smart, I really think that the simpler I think, the more I can win, and when I think about it, I wrap myself in." If you want to blame it, my brother is usually capricious, so I don't know if you lied or not. β
The swordsman in Tsing Yi and the graceful woman watching from the side looked at each other, but they didn't expect that in the end, it was Li Jiawen who won, or the little junior brother who was fighting the water unicorn outside, which was also helpless.
Li Jiawen didn't expect that he could win, his one-eighth probability actually defeated two three-eighths probability, it seems that there are some things in this world that will catch people off guard.
After a commotion, Li Jiawen was taken to Chengying Mountain by the swordsman in Tsing Yi.
The swordsman in Tsing Yi pointed to the corner of Chengying Mountain and said, "That's where the junior brother lives. β
After Li Jiawen thanked him, he walked straight to that corner, which is only the size of a gymnasium, on the floating mountain, there are all kinds of things, there are mountains, rivers, birds, beasts and people.
There was only one person, and that person was the Shushan disciple who wanted to use the transmission note before, who looked dumbfounded, and was sitting on the ground sulking at the moment.
Li Jiawen walked over, and he shouted, "Senior brother? β
The man looked back in astonishment, Li Jiawen saw his appearance clearly, with a small head, dark skin, and big eyes, and he looked a little silly rather than honest.
"Where are you from? Why do you call me senior brother? If everyone else calls me a nerd, you can call me a nerd. β
Li Jiawen pointed to his face and said, "Have you forgotten, just now on Sword Mountain, several other elders were robbing disciples, and that disciple was me, didn't you also want to call your master to come back and rob disciples?" β
"Oh! It turned out to be you, I didn't recognize it! The nerd stood up and said vigilantly: "Have you been taken away by Uncle Jian Wuji and deliberately came over to bully me!" β
Li Jiawen hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, I didn't worship them as teachers, in fact, I came here to apprentice, so you will be my senior brother in the future." β
The nerd didn't believe it at all: "Hmph! Don't you try to lie to me! In the past, you used this kind of scam to deceive me, saying that you wanted to give a gift to your junior brother, but you deceived my treasure! You say, why do you want to worship my master as a teacher? They don't like my master, they always say that my master loves to get into trouble, where does the master love to get into trouble? Don't you just like to swear? Don't you just like to fight? Is there something wrong with that? Is there something wrong with that! β
Li Jiawen thought to himself, he loves to scold and fight, it is indeed easy to get into trouble, judging from the fact that he wants to fight to the death because of the water qilin looking at him, he is still a big disaster.
"I'm really not here to lie to you, I'm really here to apprentice!" Li Jiawen's face was full of sincerity.
The nerd was a little confused and said, "You're really not here to lie to me?" Then you call me my name and try it! β
Li Jiawen said: "Dare to ask what the senior brother's name is?" β
The nerd smiled and pointed to his head, and said proudly: "My name is Tiancong!" β
"Uh...... Tian Cong? β
The nerd immediately became happy: "You are really my junior brother!" Because Master said that apart from Him in this world, only my junior brother will call me by my name! β
Li Jiawen didn't know whether to be speechless or distressed.
The nerd pulled Li Jiawen to squat on the ground, pointed to a jasper grasshopper and a fiery red mantis in the grass and said, "Come, junior brother, let's watch Xiaobi and Xiaohong fight!" β
