Chapter 262: Collective Wisdom
Alright, no need to ask, the first mission is to get out of here!
Ma Pole introduced himself as Li Tianxiao. The window at the back of the cell was quite high, but he could see it as soon as he stepped on his feet. The shackles rattled, and he peeked out of the window.
"It's a small square in a town, twenty meters from north to south, forty meters from east to west. About a hundred or dozens of people, and some others are rushing over. Someone is arranging the gallows, which is the kind where there is a stand on the top and a wooden board below that can be opened......" Li Tianxiao said quickly.
Judging from the height and direction of the sun, it is close to noon. The window should be facing south, so the left and right are the east and west. And this is exactly in line with the usual architectural philosophy.
Li Tianxiao's analysis and judgment were extremely fast, and the estimates of the area and number of people casually reported showed that he should be a scout, and most of the attributes he was good at were eyesight.
Tall and far-sighted, isn't it because of this to refine your eyesight? Xiao Ling couldn't help but complain.
The little eyes are called Wendi, and they have a pair of funny ears. Listen intently: "Someone is talking-"
"Hang! Hanged! Hang them all! These damn bandits, more and more numerous, are like locusts...... The second leg of the Green family was cut off, and it has not grown well until now, and he walks with a limp; The fifth child of the Smith family, who was blinded by the shooting, didn't know how to grow in a few months. ”
"That's right, they should all be hanged, one counts as one! Let's see if anyone else dares to take refuge in them! ”
"The grain for the winter could not be brought in, the horses were robbed, and there were no cattle to plow. Seeing that spring is coming, is it difficult to use people to pull it again? It's too much trouble for the priest. These hateful bandits, one by one, deserve to die! ”
"Yes, yes, at a young age, and with a lot of strength. Why don't you do it, you just want to be a robber! The robbers can't do it well, and they dare to attack us Clermont. It's not good to inquire about ......."
Wendy can not only listen, but also learn. The voices of the voices change one after another, simulating the noisy conversation of a group of people vividly.
At this point, the background of the story gradually came out, which should be a hundred years ago, during the westward expansion of the United States. Immigrants, Gold Diggers, Western Cowboys...... The attire, the customs, and the information that comes out of the words all speak for themselves.
A little more specific. Similar to Jackie Chan's "Shanghai Noon" or Jet Li's "Once Upon a Time: The Lion of the Western Regions", some of the Chinese and Western combinations are a little inconsistent.
For example, despite this background, and obviously hearing people say that the Greenes, the Smiths, and the Franklins...... It is called so, but whether it is the residents of the town, or the sheriff who stands outside the iron fence and patrols back and forth with majesty, it is clear that they are all yellow people with black hair and black eyes and slightly flat faces--this is such a sense of disobedience.
However, the time bubble task is like this, and the actors in the stage background are all confused, and it often feels like people are on the wrong set. No way. Adapt slowly, it's stupid to be more serious here.
In short, the mission should be to get out of here before going to the gallows. The time is ten minutes.
It looks hard. But...... Is it really hard? It is true that everyone is locked in two layers of shackles, and they are locked in a cell, and all their belongings cannot be used, but Xiao Ling is very sure that he will give himself ten seconds, no, five seconds is enough.
He was able to reveal the key, and the shackles on his hands and feet, as well as the locks on the prison doors, were opened.
Everyone is also a second-year student, only based on their skills, attributes and the results of some special training. Enough to do that.
Even if you can't see the key, the finger-thick iron grille looks sturdy. Someone's strength breaks through and the skill explodes, and it is only a matter of minutes to break the iron fence out of the cell.
As for the guards outside the door. Don't look at them all heavily guarded and well-equipped, they may not be able to gain the upper hand in the face of the transcendents with skills. What if you have a musket in your hand? It definitely doesn't hurt or itch when it hits Xiao Ling, and it doesn't necessarily have much effect on other second-year students.
Those who have an effect will naturally hide behind those who have no effect.
Break open the cell, rush out of the cell, and then it's how to get out. Although there is only one window, you can clearly see that the terrain around the town is not flat, there are mountains, woods, and even a river.
Those with keen hearing, such as Wendi, can hear the continuous sound of the water, and the amount of water is quite small; People with a keen sense of smell, such as Xiao Ling, can smell the extra humidity in the air.
In this environment, with the strength of a group of transcendental people, they want to escape......
"Let's evaluate it, how difficult is it?"
"If it's a 10-point system, I'll play 3-pointers."
"I'm also shooting threes, four points at most!"
"That's because you're too weak, if you want me to say, three points may not be enough......"
"Based on experience, to be able to survive the first level of the idle period, the difficulty coefficient will reach at least six."
Just when Xiao Ling felt that things were definitely not so simple, a group of people had already discussed it quickly.
Speak without concealing the guards at all.
Of course, even if the guards had to listen, they couldn't understand it, and the front was to check the situation, and anyone could look at it and say that, which was not surprising; The dialogue in the back needs to be understood between transcendents, and after listening to a few ears without a head, I must have thought that Yunshan Mist Cover was discussing gambling.
These transcendents have obviously formed a habit, and their speech is vague and vague, and they are extremely jumpy, and it is easy for their own people to understand, and it is simply a new language for outsiders. Every word is understood, and when it is connected, it is not understood.
This will neither affect communication nor divulge confidentiality, killing two birds with one stone.
Although the guards outside the cell door were very dissatisfied with this, they stared at everyone with their guns, and there was anger slowly accumulating in their eyes, and everyone didn't care.
"Eh, Senior Xiao, what do you think is the difficulty factor at the moment?" Wen Di stabbed Xiao Ling and asked.
At the same time as he asked, someone had already counted them one by one and added up their scores.
Is it necessary to use collective wisdom to evaluate? I haven't taught this trick in the first grade, although I know it...... Xiao Ling said secretly in his heart.
Collective wisdom? What is collective wisdom, some people say that the minority obeys the majority, but some people say that the truth is often in the hands of the few, so the question is, should we listen to the majority or the minority?
Hesitation, huh? Actually, this is a very interesting scientific reality.
Take a large bottle and fill it with small balls, of all colors and sizes, it is difficult to count the number of small balls. How many balls are in the bottle? It is impossible to count directly, because the small ball outside will block the view, and it is impossible without a clairing eye. And if you shake and vibrate, it will blur and neutralize the parts you have already counted.
So...... How do you figure out how many balls there are without pouring them all out?
There is a very simple way, which is to ask people. Just ask anyone on the street and ask every passer-by how many balls are in the bottle according to their estimates.
Keep counting them, add up everyone's answers, and divide them by the total number of people...... You'll find that the more people ask, the closer the average is to the true number of balls. When the number of questionnaires reaches several thousand, the upper and lower errors do not even exceed ten.
No matter how ridiculous an individual's answer is, some will be dozens of times more than normal, some will be dozens of times less, and more and less will cancel each other out, so that the valuation will continue to approach the average line.
That's pretty much what the referees score in sports matches.
This is the collective wisdom, making decisions may not work, and purely quantitative evaluations have an astonishing accuracy rate.
Three points. Xiao Ling stared at the gun-wielding guard who was glaring angrily, and according to his own judgment, he raised three fingers.
So based on everyone's scores, the difficulty score of this joint ended up being 3.33.
"There's a problem, there's obviously a problem. Maybe these guys ...... Strength, not as it seems? "A bunch of transcendents are looking at the guards the other way.
This is the most natural inference. If the flow of the task does not seem to be difficult, then what can make the difficulty meet the standard is the strength of the monsters involved in the process.
Although I don't know what the problem is, the problem is for sure!
The second-year is worthy of the second-year. One thing Xiao Ling feels is wrong is the difficulty, for the first-year freshmen at this stage, they may not have a very clear concept of this, and the second-year students have already standardized this paragraph.
Experience does matter.
"Looks like we have to send someone to try." Someone else said.
But who will be sent? That's the problem.
If these policemen really have a problem and are extremely combative, then the guy who tested it is undoubtedly killing himself - if everyone breaks out together, there may be a fight, and one person rushes up to fight a group alone, what is it that is not suicide?
But if you don't try, if you know what the enemy is, you can go together, so what's the difference between that and the process of erasing reasoning? It is undoubtedly a very stupid act, and it is likely to lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
"The key to my opinion is this guy......" Suddenly, the man in the middle cell said. Kicked a man lying on the ground.
There were three cells in the house, and a total of 10 people were imprisoned. Nine of them were transcendental, with only the middle room sandwiched between an ordinary person. This was confirmed as soon as it came up.
No, it's not exact to say that ordinary people are either.
"Ahhh I don't want to be hanged! Woo woo, the world is so big, I didn't have time to take a good look at it......"
"Ahhh It's scary! I don't want to be a robber anymore, I don't want to go back, it's terrible......"
A few cries at a time, a few cries at a time, this guy has completely broken down, as if he is a nervous disorder.
What can be asked from him?
Just as everyone looked at the guy lying on the ground and turning over and over in a daze, "Woo...... Woof! Suddenly, a dog barked, and a German blackback rushed into the prison like the wind.
This prison is just a few iron cages in an earthen room, it is not a prison at all, and even the door is open.
Blackback rushed into the house and pounced directly on one of the patrolling sheriffs. (To be continued) R752
