419. Do you know how to count?

"I'll listen, please."

Xue Youda immediately responded.

"It's simple, do you know how to count?"

Kiriyama asked.

"Then, of course."

Xue Youda was puzzled, businessmen like them must have learned arithmetic, and they didn't know what the purpose of Wushan was when he asked this.

"This game, in the end, is how to make chips with the lowest cost, think about it, the first person to shoot has a one-in-six chance of being shot and losing five coins, but there is a five-in-six chance of getting a coin reward, so if the first person chooses to shoot, it can be considered that he did not get chips."

Kiriyama explained.

"Didn't get chips, how to talk about that. Ah, I see. ”

Xue Youda originally wanted to let Wushan see what he was talking about, but soon, he understood.

Although there is no such thing as a professional mathematical expectation in the old city, there are similar calculations.

The first person chooses to shoot, and the chips they get are one chip multiplied by five-sixths minus five chips multiplied by one-sixth, which is zero.

By analogy, the second-in-line person chooses to shoot, and the expected chip is one chip multiplied by four-fifths minus five chips multiplied by one-fifth, and a loss of one-fifth chip.

The expectation of the third pick is to lose one-half of a chip.

The expectation of the fourth pick is to lose a chip.

"In this way, no matter how you shoot, you will lose chips!"

Xue Youda reacted, unless he could shoot first every time, the more he shot, the more he lost his chips.

"Think about it, what would happen if you chose to skip it?"

Instead of being in a hurry, Kiriyama glanced at the people of the Black Axe Gang, as if to see if their gangsters' minions had received compulsory education and whether they could understand their words.

"If you choose to skip having to pay a chip, you're losing a chip!"

Xue You's big eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wait, this means that as long as the top four picks choose to shoot, at most they will skip an ending, but the loss will be smaller than skipping."

As for the fifth and sixth picks, the benefits of shooting are obviously much smaller.

"You're smart, at least much smarter than some people who can only use axes."

The first road of the foggy mountains.

The Black Axe Gang did not show displeasure or anger, but fell into deep thought.

Kiriyama said nothing wrong with that, he really seemed to want to teach everyone how to play the game.

"So, six times in a round, in the case of skipping the last two picks, everyone's loss expectation is 3.7, in the second round, because there is only one chance to skip shooting, so the loss expectation will become high, become 5.7, in the third round, there is no chance to skip shooting, the risk will become extremely high, and the loss expectation will reach 10.7, in fact, in the third round, someone should be eliminated."

He went on to explain.

Xue Youda heard this, thought quietly for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

But his eyes soon flickered, he glanced at the Misty Mountain, and then looked at the people of the Black Axe Gang, and finally chose not to speak.

"This brother, what is the way to win?"

Xue Youda asked again.

"I told you just now."

Kiriyama laughed.

"Just choose to shoot before the top four picks and then skip the fifth and sixth picks, which can minimize your losses."

It's a very simple and easy-to-understand strategy.

Xue Youda nodded secretly.

Those Black Axe Gang people also understood it now.

"What's the use of all this?"

Li Ke scoffed at this.

"What advantage do you have in telling everyone these things?"

"I don't need to have an advantage."

Unexpectedly, Kiriyama replied immediately, without thinking.

"I just gave the gun to everyone."

Hearing Kiriyama's words, Li Ke's expression became gloomy.

These Black Axe Gang people don't listen to themselves very much, but they are all five big and three thick, and they have no cultural level, and they are like a headless fly in the face of this kind of gambling that needs to be considered, and they will only try their luck, if they don't take them with themselves in the first round, they will probably be thrown out to feed the unknown monsters in the void like the brothers who went to other groups before.

Now, however, Kiriyama has told them about the strategy.

If these members of the Black Axe Gang want to win, they can just shoot according to this strategy, and they don't need to be pointed at by their own boss.

Even.

If they have rebellious intentions in their hearts, they may even join forces to kill themselves if they are unlucky.

After all, everyone wants to survive.

As Kiriyama said, the gun was given to everyone.

When everyone has a gun, the authority of the Black Axes loses its purpose.

Li Ke quickly understood what Kiriyama meant, this guy had been coming for him from the beginning.

It's just that Li Ke thought about it a little and found a loophole in the strategy proposed by Kiriyama.

That's the problem of getting shot.

As long as someone gets shot in the top four, the next one skips without paying chips.

Therefore, the last two people in the order still have an advantage.

And if you grab the first shot, you will become the sixth and fifth picks after that, and you can earn it instead.

Similarly, if you get shot, you will lose five chips directly, and at that time, it is impossible to bet on that probability.

So, in addition to what Kiriyama said, the best strategy is to grab the first one, then become the sixth pick, and then wait for the person in front to get shot to reduce your own expenses and save the chance to skip.

He immediately glanced at the three subordinates beside him and cleared his throat.

"Are you done, if you're done, then we can start."

He glanced at the adjudicator.

"I'll be the first to start, no problem, right?"

Li Ke looked at the others.

His younger brother naturally had no objections, and Xue Youda subconsciously glanced at Wushan and asked for his opinion.

"I don't care, I'm going to be the winner anyway."

Kiriyama doesn't seem to care who to start with.

The corners of Li Ke's mouth curled, and he looked at the adjudicator.

The position is starting from Li Ke, two members of the Black Axe Gang, Xue Youda and Wushan, and the third member of the Black Axe Gang is the last.

"Let's get started."

To ensure fairness, they let the adjudicators shoot.

The magazine spun and finally stopped, and the hooded adjudicator raised the muzzle of his gun towards Li Ke.

Immediately, pull the trigger.

Click-

Naturally, there were no bullets, just the crisp sound of the firing pin.

Li Ke touched his pocket, he had another advantage that he didn't tell Kiriyama, that is, the chips on him.

Except for the chips paid in the first round to complete the game, he has no chip expenditure, not only that, Li Ke also took the chips of the Black Axe Gang member who was eliminated in the first round, plus the [Blood Chips] issued before, Li Ke has a full twenty-nine chips.

I don't know how to lose at all.

"Next."

The adjudicator said, looking at the second man.
