Chapter 502: Where's the Gold Coin?
Smiling and full of confidence, Sakya specially put on his 'battle robe' that he had not worn for a long time for today's debate. It was the day he graduated from the Sword Island Academy, the most prestigious in the Heavenly Realm, and the Emperor personally chose a dress for him. On that day, as the representative of the best students of the 'Sword Island Academy', he stood in front of the countless races and countless students in the Heavenly Realm and gave an impassioned speech.
The long history of the 'Sword Island Academy' can be traced back to the time of the giants, who believed that in order to help the Celestials establish order, such a higher education institution was necessary. So they helped the Celestials to establish such an academy, and the huge symbol of the academy was suspended in the air, which was like a book blocking a sword. The meaning of the sign is to warn everyone who leaves here that even if you do not use force, you can still resist force in a guò political way. However, when the dragons attacked the giants, it even spread to the heavenly realm, and the symbol was destroyed by the dragons, the sword body was broken in half, and the book became a floating island.
However, the head of the academy at the time did not restore the logo, he wanted to remember what happened in the past by guò.
So later, almost everyone called this place 'Sword Island Academy'.
The graduates here are the best politicians, and it can be said that the students here have a great possibility that they will affect the political direction of the entire heavenly realm in the future.
And today, Sakya wears this garment, which is to tell everyone that he is bound to win today!
Looking at Elsa, who looked relaxed on the other side, Sakya coughed lightly.
"Alright. So what is the topic of our debate today?" Sakya asked, smiling. Sakya was confident that he was well-read, no matter what proposition Elsa posed. He could definitely talk until he retorted Elsa until he was speechless.
When the question was asked, Sakya was ready to take it, his mind racing through it.
What will she ask? Tax reform in the rich areas in the next year? No! Renovation of the slums? No! No, no! She likes to fight, and it must be against the suppression of rebellion!
For a moment, Sakya's mind was on his mind.
"I think. Elsa spoke slowly, and the audience immediately fell silent. People held back their breathing, fearing that their small voice would affect the two of them in the center of the field.
"I don't think a carbon steel knife with a hardness of more than fifty-nine is not suitable for use as a weapon. It is more suitable as a kitchenware. Elsa spoke.
"What?!" Sakya was dumbfounded, he didn't understand what Elsa was saying.
"Okay, I've raised the issue, think about how to respond. Elsa smiled slyly. Look at Sakya.
Sakya was a little enlightened. But as a well-read prince, he did not show it.
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly, my good sister, can you say it again?" Sakya had already understood, but he didn't know what Elsa meant by this, so he needed time to think, and asking rhetorical questions was the best way to buy time.
Elsa pouted, "If you don't understand." You just admit it, so why waste your time? I don't think a carbon steel knife with a hardness of more than fifty-nine is not suitable for use as a weapon, but more suitable as a kitchenware. ’”
Sakya felt the corners of her mouth tremble slightly, this Elsa really dared to come up with a question!
Blacksmiths, of course, also exist in the heavenly realm. It's just that the metal forging methods used by blacksmiths in the heavenly realm are more advanced than those in the human realm. As the great prince of the heavenly realm, Sakya has not been able to solve this kind of thing much, but he can still hear and see some of it. It's a pity that some of the things that have been heard and seen are not enough to support the debate between him and Elsa.
But that's not a problem! The question is, what's the point of you bringing up this kind of issue in a place like this! That's!
"I think you have a point. The eldest prince directly let go of this topic.
"Well, I won a set. Elsa said with a smile.
"Yes, you won this game. Sakya also smiled, for him, this could not be considered a loss at all!
"So, the next question, why do you think the migratory fish in the heavenly realm have to return from the sea to the fresh water?" Elsa asked again.
"I ...... I do not know. "How could Sakya know! He is the Great Prince! The future Emperor! If he wanted to know the answer to this question, there would be countless of the best biologists in the heavenly realm rushing to sue him!
"Actually, I don't know, so let's count it as a draw. Elsa nodded to herself, and then asked Sakya, "Three people stayed in a hotel, and each of them had ten gold coins, and the boss was happy that day, and he only had twenty-five gold coins for them." Ask the waiter to return them five gold coins. As a result, the waiter secretly hid two gold coins for himself, and gave them only three gold coins, one for each of them. That is, they only spent nine gold coins each, and a total of twenty-seven gold coins, plus the two gold coins hidden by the waiter, for a total of twenty-nine gold coins. So, where is the rest of the gold coin?"
The eldest prince Sakya was directly dumbfounded.
Because he is good at many things, but he is not good at mathematics! As a politician, he firmly believes that he can make up for his problems with a team that is proficient in mathematics. But unexpectedly, Elsa would propose a math problem to herself at such a time!
Damn, isn't there a debate today! Why did Elsa give herself a question!
But it was you who proposed to debate at the beginning, and if you can't fight, it means defeat!
But this question really got him into it, and he couldn't figure it out anyway.
That's right, where's the rest of the gold coin?
Not only the eldest prince, but even the surrounding audience were also entangled in this question. Some people even close their eyes and calculate silently, but the more they calculate, the more confused their hearts become. The more you don't know where that gold coin went.
"I'm not good at math, I throw in the towel. But you can sue me. Where the hell did this gold coin go?" Sakya asked, staring into Elsa's eyes, and he even thought that Elsa was deliberately making things difficult for herself by making an unanswered question.
"Okay, so be it. Let me ask you, how much money did the boss get?"
"Twenty-five gold coins. Sakya said.
"How much money does the waiter have?"
"Two. ”
"How much money do guests have now?"
"Three ......"
Sakya's eyes widened instantly.
"That's thirty gold coins together, and there's not that one at all, stupid. Elsa smiled and said, "Don't you feel ashamed of yourself for arguing with me with such a stupid brain?"
Sakya clenched his fists. I felt my heart beat faster.
Growing up, no one ever said he was stupid!
When Sakya heard this, he instinctively thought it was going to be a very advanced question. So much so that he tensed his whole body to try to decipher every mystery in Elsa's words.
However, the only thing he didn't expect was that the mystery in her words was wrong!
It's not a sophisticated math problem at all, it's just a brain teaser!
It's just a child's game.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, ......"
Cold and angry applause slowly rang out. Sakya smiled hypocritically. A round of applause.
"Wonderful, I have to say, these children's tricks really stumped me because I had been away from this childish age for too long. "So I have to thank you, my sister, for once again bringing me back to my childhood." Hehe, this feeling of reliving childlike fun is really beautiful. But. Now that childhood is over, let's focus on the present. Let's discuss something that really makes sense. How?"
"Don't you think it makes sense?" Elsa asked rhetorically.
"Yes, it's pointless, it's a complete waste of time!" Sakya said firmly, feeling as if there was a door, for by the time Elsa asked the question, things had already begun to go in the direction he expected.
"Why is this a waste of time?" Elsa asked again.
"Because we are here, our citizens are not here to listen to small children quarrel. They are here to know how their future Emperor will lead the country, how to make the Celestial Realm more prosperous, and how to make the Celestial Realm the greatest being in the entire multiverse!" Sakya was very careful about his tone, he had been waiting for this phrase for too long, and he raised it step by step in order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm!
Sure enough, the people present were full of pride in the heavenly realm, and when they heard Sakya's words, everyone consciously shouted: "Heavenly Realm, Heavenly Realm, Heavenly Realm!"
The sound is deafening!
"Hear me, my sister, this is the voice of the people!" said Saki proudly.
Yes, I won. Sakya thought so in his heart.
At this time, Shiresa's heart was anxious, Elsa's gag was not bad at first, after all, it was not Sakya's forte, but now you are completely following Sakya's rhythm, you are not Sakya's opponent at all!
"Don't lie to yourself, Your Highness the Grand Prince. Elsa said with a pout.
"Lie to yourself?" Sakya smiled, looking at Elsa.
"Yes, lie to yourself. "Look at these people around us, whether they really care about politics or not." Do you think they are here to listen to us quarrel just to see the Heavenly Realm prosper? Who is the Emperor of the Heavenly Realm, it is not their turn to call the shots, and do you think they really care who the Emperor of the Heavenly Realm is?"
"No, they don't care at all. They care about who can bring them more money, higher status, and a better life. Am I right?" Elsa looked around, and there was silence for a while. Obviously, this is true, but can such a thing be admitted?
"Actually, there's nothing to be embarrassed to admit, isn't any kind of creature, even an ant, even a giant, desperately struggling for a better life?"
"So, don't take the two of us standing here how important it is, my stupid prince, we're just standing here to add some after-dinner conversation for everyone, and let everyone laugh, as for the prosperity of the heavenly realm, let's leave it to the emperor to do, it's too early for you to think about this. (To be continued......)
