"Explain?"

Richard listened to Jasmine's words and smiled: "Okay, I'll explain." In fact, it is very simple, the distribution problem you mentioned is the same as two people wanting to share a cake.

Everyone wants a bigger piece, and it's hard to satisfy two people at the same time. But here's how it works: let one person be in charge of cutting the cake in two, and the other person can choose which one belongs to them first.

In this way, the first person will try to divide the two cakes equally and not let the second person take advantage. The second person tries to choose the one that he thinks is the biggest, so as not to let the first person take advantage, and in the end both of them can be satisfied.

Apply it to the problem you said, then you can make one of us responsible for dividing something of unknown value into two parts, and the other party will choose, and naturally there will be no dissatisfaction. ”

"Well, that's reasonable......" Jasmine said.

"Of course. "This can be proved mathematically, mathematically the two people who cut the cake are A and B, where ......"

Dozens of seconds later, after a long sentence almost without pause, Richard ignored Jasmine, whose expression gradually became complicated, and continued: "Actually, it is easiest for two people to share the cake, as long as they don't deliberately complicate the problem. However, the number of people has increased, and it is a little troublesome for three people to share the cake and four people to share the cake, but it is not too complicated.

For example, if three people share the cake, if you want to be fair, it is better to bring in a fourth person as a referee. The three people who share the cake are A, B, and C. First, the cake is placed on the table, the referee walks from left to right with a knife, and three people A, B and C stand on the right side of the referee.

The referee set off to walk, and any one of A, B and C shouted to stop, and the referee waved a knife at his position to cut the cake, and gave the cut left cake to the person who called to stop. Then the other two carry out the operation of 'you cut and I choose'. The mathematical logic in this is ......"

"Four people are ......"

"Five ......"

"In fact, if there are more than three people, the formula can be generalized, specifically ......"

Richard kept talking, and after a long time, he finally noticed the long-haired woman Jasmine, whose expression became extremely strange, and stopped talking in time.

"Whew-"

Richard took a deep breath, looked at Jasmine and said, "That's the explanation, in fact, I could have said a little more detail, but I think you should understand." ”

"Got it, well, got it. Jasmine said, her voice slightly stiff, and then pursed her lips, "Well, I only have one last thing to be sure." ”

"One last thing? Richard said.

"That's it...... Like, I mean for example. For example, in the ancient ruins, there is an item that is very valuable and very attractive, and you and we both want to get it, and we do not hesitate to give up all other gains for this, so how to solve it?"

"Well, it's easy. ”

"Simple?"

"Of course it's simple. "I know of a place where there is a very straightforward way to deal with such a problem, which is to roll the dice and use luck to decide. For example, if you roll a dice and I roll a three, then the thing belongs to you, and vice versa.

Of course, considering that we all have supernatural powers in our hands, and are even proficient in prophecy spells, it may be possible to have some influence, and the roll of the dice may not be very convincing. That can also be done by auction.

Specifically, we take turns to bid on items, as long as we can take out the corresponding equivalent value of the item to offset the price, how high it can be. At the end of the day, one party will not have enough money to exit, and the other party will get the item. The withdrawing party also has compensation, which is to take the money and bargains of the offer. ”

After a pause, Richard continued: "If you are not satisfied with these two methods, then use the third method, such as ...... Another example is the fourth method...... The fifth method ......"

In the end, Richard looked at Jasmine and said, "In short, I have dozens, hundreds of ways to ensure fairness. I can make sure that you will never lose, and correspondingly, don't intend to make me suffer. ”

Jasmine listened, looked at Richard, and didn't say anything for a long time.

She must admit that Richard's method was indeed fair, and she could not find any reason to refute it.

Now that Richard has two seals in her hands, she must work with him if she wants to explore the ruins. As for whether she can get what she wants in the ruins, it depends on how the situation develops.

She resisted the uncertainty, but could only accept it.

"Okay. After a while, Jasmine spoke, nodded to Richard, and said, "I promise you." ”

"Good. Can you go?" asked Richard.

"Yes. Jasmine said, leading the way forward.

After walking a few steps, thinking of something, he turned his head slightly to look at Richard and asked, "By the way, when you hid and let us find it just now, did you hear what I and my team members said?"

Do you mean that your team members called you princess, and that you colluded to deny me...... Richard's eyebrows moved, he looked at Jasmine and chuckled, "I didn't hear anything." ”

"Really?" Jasmine didn't believe it, and looked Richard in the eye, as if trying to see a clue, but she was disappointed.

Richard opened his mouth and said to Jasmine, "I advise you, don't delay any longer, it's better to explore the ruins quickly." Believe it or not, I have a prophecy-like instinct that if we move too slowly, we might run into some extra trouble. ”

"Extra trouble?' your intuition?" said Jasmine, frowning, "Is it true that your intuition as a man is sharper than my woman's intuition?"

"Believe it or not. Richard said.

"Alright, let's go. In the end, Jasmine chose to believe, stopped being verbose, and took the lead in a quick walk forward, and disappeared at the end of the horizon in a short time.

......

About the same time.

A figure walked into Greywood Town.

This is a young girl, wearing strange clothes, but it is difficult to hide her peerless face.

Her cheeks were white, like a porcelain doll, and her eyes were constantly turning like sapphires, looking with interest at the unremarkable buildings on both sides of the streets of Greywoodtown.

It's Bibi!

It was the Dead Sea, the Rings of Truth that had been seriously injured by the bombardment of the Nuclear Bomb, and Bibi who had been sent out to find Richard's traces. After leaving the Dead Sea, she first let herself go and played happily for a few months, and then she rarely regained a little conscience, remembered the task she had been assigned, and was ready to complete the task before continuing to play.

"Hulala!"

With a sound, a white dove fell from the sky, flapped its wings and landed on Bibi's outstretched palm, and then "cooed" and cried.

Bibi seemed to understand, raised her hand, released the pigeon, and murmured: "According to what the pigeon said, the breath of that target has been here for a short time, maybe I can find some clues here." That...... Where can I find it?"

Bibi's gaze scanned the streets, eventually settling on a location—the only tavern in Greywoodtown.

As for the reason, she didn't think about it at all, "well-informed in the tavern", but thought it looked more lively, like the casino she had stayed in before, it should be more fun.

Then go check it out, it's a mission, it's not a game.

Yes, it doesn't count.

Bibi made a decision in her heart, did not hesitate, and walked quickly.

In the tavern.

The bartender behind the counter was looking at a barrel next to him with a sad face: his sales were getting worse and worse, and given that the beer brewed by the tavern owner was so unpalatable that there were no repeat customers, after trying to pit everyone these days, it finally broke out today - it was almost morning, and not a single beer was sold.

Unless there is a wronged person who inquires about the news, he can take the opportunity to pit the other party, otherwise this barrel of wine may be kept intact until tomorrow.

But then again, even if one of the wrongdoers is stupid enough, it is impossible for the other party to buy this whole barrel of wine.

"Ahh

Thinking of this, the bartender let out a long sigh.

At this moment, the tavern door "creaked" open, and Bibi probe walked in.
