Before dawn, there were already a few figures, rushing to the competition venue, and the two staff members had been waiting for a long time, and they gave each person two sets of numbers, the first group was where they sat when watching the game. And the second group is their own order of play, and the number of numbers drawn is the number of games played. Numbers are irregularly sorted from one to two hundred and eighty-eight. There will be two cards for each number, and the winner of the same number will be contested. After the win, the numbers will be from small to large, and the number closer will be compared.

Dawn was approaching, and Xiahou Gang woke everyone up. After washing, take everyone here to get their numeric numbers. The two staff members took the trouble to explain the rules to everyone. Xiahou Gang filtered the words of the two out of his mind. It's time to draw the numbers yourself. hurriedly stopped wanting to leave everyone, bowed his hand and asked, "Two big brothers, I don't know something, I don't know if I can bother the two of you to solve your doubts"

The two staff members are Chuanjie and Huo Hua. The two looked at each other and nodded, "But it's okay to say" As he spoke, he reversed a number plate with 1 written on it in his hand and pressed it to the bottom.

"As the two eldest brothers said, the numbers are one to 288, and each group of numbers has two, which is 576 people, right" "It seems that you have noticed, yes, yes, but a little smart" Xia Yingxue asked Ye Ling with an innocent face, "What do they say, why can't I understand the mystery?"

Ye Ling opened his mouth coldly and preemptively explained, "There are 576 people, two by two, one will be eliminated and one person will be promoted." You calculate what the final result will be" Xia Yingxue tugged at her fingers, and there were still words in her mouth, "576 minus half is 288, minus half is 144, then 72, 36, 18, and finally there will be nine people left." How could there be one more person. ”

Xiahou Gang smiled slightly, "Probably to ensure the fairness of the game, to avoid the relative elimination of one of the strong at the beginning, so that the ranking of the strong is too low, and also to prevent the strength from being very different but being defeated because of the natural restraint of the spiritual root." Deviation in the evaluation of the contestants"

"Yes, that's right, we're going to have another round of selection among the losers, and we'll select seven people to go to the finals. In this way, you can compete for the first place" "Thank you for telling me" Xiahou Gang said, stretched out his hand and took a wooden card, with 124 written on the front and 03.112 on the back.

"You weren't the first to guess, and you weren't the shortest, and you weren't the most thoughtful, but your humility won us over. Finally, I wish you and your partner good luck. And remind you that don't probe or exchange the wooden cards in your hand, otherwise you will bear the consequences" "Thank you, farewell"

Huo Hua and the two of them glowed all the signs after a while, Chuan Jie stretched his waist and moved his body, "Is this really the son of General Xiahou?" "Yes, I don't have the idea to be so humble and polite" "By the way, did you change the card given to him?"

"Changed, after all, there is no chance of winning against that kind of guy" General Xiahou, Xiahou is not a surname here, his surname is Xiaminghou.
