Chapter 169: Game Theory - Three People Share the Gold
Li Yun is going to start fighting back, if Wang Tong doesn't catch it, it will be too embarrassing, and as a great Confucian, even the juniors are afraid, it is ridiculous.
Wang Tong said: "Please advise!"
Li Yun walked to the center and took out a string of five-baht coins from his arms, a full hundred of them, and he took this string of copper coins and placed them on the ground.
Today, I asked, what did Li Yun do with the copper coin? It's really confusing.
Everyone looked at each other, and in the questioning voices of many people, Li Yun untied the rope of the string of money, spread it with his hands, and the money spread out on the ground.
"Today, what is Your Highness doing with the money?" Wang Tong asked, but his question also raised many people's questions.
Li Yun pursed his lips and smiled: "What is the Tao?" The Tao is the law of heaven and earth, there are all things in heaven and earth, and all things are Tao, if Lord Wang only thinks that the Tao is to open the altar to talk about the ancient and modern, talk about the legacy of the sages, and comment on the literature of the ancients? You are too narrow-minded to think like this. ”
Li Yun's words have to be said to have some meaning, and they taught Wang Tong a lesson, but if they were others, they really didn't dare to show off their knowledge in front of Wang Tong.
But Li Yun doesn't matter who he is, if you want to talk about knowledge and insight, Li Yun has been a human being in two lifetimes, how can what he sees and feel be comparable to Wang Tong's rotten Confucianism? !
As he spoke, Li Yun had already laid out the money, and he got up and said, "Lord Wang, listen to my question."
"There are a hundred copper coins here, and there are three people around you who are A, B, and C to share the money, and the rule is that these three people will divide the amount by themselves, and after A proposes his own plan to divide the gold coins, the three of them will vote together, and if the number of people who agree does not exceed half, A will be killed. After that, B proposes his own plan for dividing the gold coins, and the remaining two vote. If no more than half of the people agree, B will be beheaded. ”
"May I ask my lord, how to distribute the optimal solution?"
After hearing Li Yun's rules, Wang Tong looked confused, he is a great Confucian, but not a person of abacus, if you want to talk about how many poetry and classics there are today, he may be able to come easily.
But if it is arithmetic, Wang Tong is really not proficient, and it can even be said that he does not know anything.
"This ...... What kind of argument is this? Wang Tong asked unhappily.
"As I just said, the Tao is heaven and earth, and everything can be the Tao, does Lord Wang only think that Confucianism is the Tao? Dare to ask if the Buddhist scriptures are considered Taoist? Is abacus a way? Is the art of war a good idea? Li Yun's series of soul torture made Wang Tong not know how to answer.
Knowing that Wang Tong had nothing to say, Li Yun continued: "I know that Lord Wang doesn't know much about abacus, and I, as a junior, will not make things difficult for adults.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Shimin, and Li Shimin nodded and agreed, if it was the same as before, in the Liangyi Palace, Li Yun humiliated the Great Confucian King of Qilu.
In the end, he was angry with Wang Tuo to death.
This Wang Tong is older than Wang Tong, in case he gets angry, it will be terrible, a lesson from the past, let everyone think of a way together, if even everyone can't think of an answer, but it's not a shame.
Then, outside Chengtian Gate, a group of people were thinking about the real answer to Li Yun's question, including the people who were watching, and many of them were counting finger arithmetic.
As for the good argument, it turned out to be a group of people writing and drawing on the ground, silently reciting something in their mouths, all thinking about the answer to this question.
After about two quarters of an hour had passed, some people gave different answers, such as 49, 51, etc., but none of them turned out to be optimal.
As a result, after an hour passed, many people were so anxious that even sweat came out, and Li Shimin also joined the arithmetic promise, this emperor through the ages, if you want to say that he leads troops to fight and governs the country, he is a good hand, but when it comes to arithmetic problems, he is definitely a primary school student.
……
After another half an hour, no one could give an answer, and some people even had a mess of brains and couldn't get out of a dead end.
The most difficult part of this problem is that if you can't find a distribution method that satisfies three people at the same time, no matter how you distribute it, the number of three people will always be uneven, and human beings are greedy, and no one will want to be less than the other.
After thinking about it, he couldn't find the final distribution method to satisfy the three people A, B and C respectively, Li Shimin also gave up the method of thinking and said: "King Yun, you better hurry up and announce the answer."
Everyone else is giving up, wanting to know what the answer is.
Seeing that many people looked at themselves with eager eyes, they said, "The best answer to this question is 99 for A, 1 for B, and 0 for C."
As soon as this answer was spoken, many people were a little confused, saying that they didn't understand it at all, let alone understand it.
All of them were thinking about how to divide it equally, but Li Yun directly deprived C of all the money, what is the reason?
"Which is more important, money or life?" Li Yun asked.
"Of course, the latter is more important."
When the money is gone, you can make money again, but if the people are gone, there is nothing.
"It's easy to figure this out," Li Yun explained: "If more than half of the people disagree, then the person who proposed the plan will be killed, A will be eliminated, and the decision will be entirely in the hands of C." As long as C votes against it, B will be killed, and all the gold coins will go to C. Therefore, for B, A cannot be eliminated under any circumstances. Therefore, regardless of A's proposal, B can only vote in favor. ”
"Human nature is greedy, so A will take the most money and leave only one for B, otherwise he won't get even one."
After listening to Li Yun's explanation, some people reacted, while some people couldn't understand the situation even after listening to it.
If someone hears Li Yun's topic, the first thing that comes to mind is the famous "game theory", and the world's famous "prisoner's dilemma" is a better explanation of this problem.
Game theory is not only an arithmetic problem, but also a realistic problem that tests the most capable of human greed.
Of course, most people also understand the problem, Li Shimin applauded even more, Wang Tong was convinced, and said: "The old minister admits defeat, His Royal Highness is really the first genius in the ages, a bucket of water, a string of money is the truth of life, admire, admire."
"Lord Wang has won the prize."
……
At today's opening of the altar, Li Yun once again shined brightly, overpowering Li Chengqian's limelight, and Li Chengqian's indignant gaze was seen by a person, and this person was Hou Junji.
After everyone dispersed, Hou Junji found Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, please stay."
