Chapter 18: Labyrinth Paradise (3)

"The ancients?" Looking at the young scholar in white clothes in front of him, Xia Mu was a little surprised.

"A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date. Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio. It's just a down-and-out poor scholar who has no fame. ”

The scholar shook the feather fan, the white clothes fluttered, the scarf danced lightly, looking like a fairy, where is the slightest bit of despair?

"Xiaosheng reads thousands of books, travels thousands of miles, and occasionally reads at night, but he is still confused. Since I am fortunate to meet Childe today, it is better for you and me to exchange each other's knowledge. ”

"Ding-dong! Discover the level - the exchange of scholars, do you accept it? ”

"Accept." Xia Mu nodded slightly.

"Huh? The scene hasn't changed? Looking at the aisle that was still in the labyrinth, Xia Mu's expression moved slightly.

"To learn and learn, in addition to being able to learn, you must also be able to ask!" The scholar raised his hand towards Xia Mu, "Childe, why don't you and I take a test with each other, ask and answer each other, how about it?" ”

"Levels: Quizzes on Scholars' Communication."

"Between the intellects, one question and one answer, take turns to answer each other.

Whoever can't answer first in one minute loses. ”

"In the process of answering questions, first of all, you must know the answers to the questions you are asking.

secondly

Whether it is a question or an answer, clear conditions must be given, there can be no serious logical loopholes, and some things that cannot be deliberately mixed in that the other party cannot understand, otherwise it will be invalid. ”

Xia Mu frowned, he must know the answer to his own question, and there can be no logical loopholes, both of which are okay to say. can't mix in some things that the other party can't understand, this is actually restricting Xia Mu.

For example, how many steps does it take to put an elephant in the refrigerator?

This is an opportunistic problem that clearly has serious logical loopholes.

Another example, how are aircraft carriers built?

Xia Mu didn't know this question himself, let alone a scholar who didn't even know what an aircraft carrier was.

Or, it's 7 p.m. in the capital of China, so what time is it in the United States? What time is it in Australia?

The problem of regional jet lag, Xia Mu, who often runs around the world as a killer, naturally knows it. But the scholar is an ancient man, and he will not understand what jet lag is.

The rules and restrictions in the quiz seem to be for the sake of fairness, but in fact, they are restricting Xia Mu, and Xia Mu's advantages as a modern person are constantly weakened.

"Etiquette literacy is a necessary quality for students. Since the son came to me, he will be as he pleases, and the little student will come to the question first. ”

The scholar shook his fan and spoke softly.

"Nine Yellow River beads, like a fist. There is a small hole the size of a sesame seed on each side. The pearl is like the Yellow River, full of dozens of twists and turns. ”

"Childe, how can you use a thin wire to quickly pass through the bead hole in one hour?"

Ant string nine songs!

This is a very famous allusion in history, Xia Mu had heard of it, and he didn't expect that the scholar would raise this topic in the first question.

Xia Mu groaned slightly, and after organizing the language, he spoke loudly: "Catch an ant, tie it to the ant with a thin thread, put the ant through the small hole in the front, and then apply honey to the small hole behind the Jiuqu bead." ”

"When ants smell honey, they naturally head towards the small hole on the other side. If the ant refuses to leave, smoke it to drive it away. ”

"Not bad." The scholar nodded, "Nine Quzhu, mulberry picking girl." This question is in honor of Master Confucius.

As a student of my generation, it is human nature to respect teachers and respect the way. Next, I asked Childe to ask the question. ”

Xia Mu looked at the calm scholar and smiled slightly: "A hundred identical ewes, a hundred identical lambs, how to find out the lambs of each ewe?" ”

"Childe, is this a courtesy?" The scholar chuckled, "This question is extremely simple! After starving a hundred lambs for one night, and letting them go, they will seek milk from their mothers. ”

"Hmm." Xia Mu nodded slightly, agreeing with this answer. It's just that in Xia Mu's eyes, his eyes have become much more solemn.

Agile and quick to react.

This scholar is definitely not the kind of nerd who only knows how to shake his head and read the books of sages!

"Next, it's Xiaosheng's turn to ask questions."

The scholar shook his fan: "The story of Han Xin's oil split, the son should know, right?" ”

One day, Han Xin went out and saw two vendors on the street dividing oil.

There were 10 catties of oil in the oil drum, and there was only one oil hyacinth that could hold 3 catties and an oil tank that could hold 7 catties in the hands of the two vendors.

The two peddlers wanted to divide the barrel of oil equally with an oil hyacinth and an oil can, but they couldn't do anything about it.

In the midst of the noise, Han Xin stepped forward and quickly leveled the oil.

Childe, how did Han Shin do it? ”

"Sir, if I am sure that I may know the story of Han Shin's oil split, why do you ask this question?" Xia Mu did not answer directly, but asked the scholar rhetorically.

"Childe answered himself." The scholar shook his feather fan, looking like he was winning.

Xia Mu frowned slightly, the two questions of [Jiuquzhu] and [Han Xin Oil Separation] may be a little difficult for the ancients, but for modern people who have known the answers from history for a long time, there is no difficulty at all.

The scholar not only did not change some difficult and obscure questions, but instead asked Xia Mu some questions that seemed to be difficult but the answers were already flying all over the sky.

That's something wrong.

"Why, can't Childe answer?" The scholar chuckled and shook his fan, "Childe has to hurry up, the one-minute answer time is almost up." ”

Xia Mu glanced down at the time on his watch, didn't think about the scholar's intentions, and answered the question directly, saying:

"First use an oil hyacinth that can hold 3 catties, fill the oil drum with oil, and then pour it into an oil tank that can hold 7 catties. At this time, there were 3 catties of oil in the oil tank, and there were 7 catties of oil left in the oil drum.

The oil hyacinth is filled with oil for the second time, and then poured into an oil tank that can hold 7 catties. At this time, there were 6 catties of oil in the oil tank, and there were 4 catties of oil left in the oil drum.

The oil hyacinth is filled with oil for the third time and poured into the oil tank that already has 6 catties of oil until the oil tank is full.

At this time, the oil tank that can hold 7 catties is already filled with 7 catties of oil. In the oil gourd that can hold 3 catties, after pouring out 1 catty of oil, there are still 2 catties of oil left.

And in the oil drum, there is only one pound of oil left.

Pour the full oil in the oil tank back into the oil drum, and there will be 8 catties of oil in the oil drum.

Pour the 2 catties of oil contained in the oil hyacinth into the oil tank that has been emptied, and then fill the oil drum with the oil hyacinth and pour it into the oil tank as well.

At this time, the oil in the oil tank is 2 catties plus 3 catties, a total of 5 catties of oil.

And the 8 catties of oil in the oil drum, because the oil hyacinth carried 3 catties, so there are still 5 catties of oil left in the oil drum.

10 catties of oil, 5 catties in the oil drum, 5 catties in the oil tank, two people are just equal! ”
