Chapter 1251: Divide the Cake
A river stood in the way of the passage. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There is a large crocodile in the river, which is the gatekeeper of this level.
"Little imps who are not afraid of death, come here if you want to break through!" the crocodile declared in a loud voice, with a posture that I will bite you to death if you come.
But there are really people who are not afraid of death, and rushed over left and right, but they were instantly pulled back by the crocodile's two tails.
"Don't be afraid, together, it can't hurt us, so it can't prevent so many of us. ”
About 30 people rushed out in a group, but the crocodile jumped up from the river, took a big mouth, as if swallowing heaven and earth, and swallowed more than 30 people in one gulp, all in one gulp.
"Phew!" the crocodile spat out again.
"What the hell is this? "All of them were viscous liquids and had a disgusting smell.
"If you don't want to die, you can keep coming. The crocodile provoked unscrupulously.
"Then, I can't hide my strength anymore. A Thunderstorm monk said.
"Hey, this person has hidden his strength?"
The monk stood out from the crowd, and he walked up in a dignified manner, and flew towards the crocodile. Naturally, the crocodile opened its mouth unceremoniously and bit down, setting off waves of water that made everyone think that the monk was still swallowed.
"Well, goodbye. But the monk passed without knowing what was going on, and went to the next floor unharmed.
"Hey, how did it pass?" happened suddenly, and the crocodile didn't see it clearly.
"Hey, this monk is cheating too. Outside, Lin Luotian also noticed this monk.
Wang Shaobo asked, "How did you cheat?" ”
"What he used just now should be a space jump, no matter how talented a Thunder Tribulation Monk is, it is impossible for him to master space jumping, he must have used a certain magic weapon, he can jump in space at short distances. ”
Wang Shaobo cleared his throat and was about to call the staff to pull out the cheater, lest Yang Xiaoxing also run into the cheater, and then he would lose.
Seeing that Wang Shaobo was about to call someone, Lin Luotian immediately said, "Don't say it." ”
"Why?" Feng Mingming asked, it would be very troublesome if Xiao Xiao touched it.
The corners of Lin Luotian's mouth showed a calculating smile: "The true strength of this monk is not very strong, if this monk relies on that magic weapon to become the only person to win in this space, and then when he competes and meets Xiaoxiao or Yang Xiaoxing, it is not too late to say it again, when the time comes, they will ban his magic weapon, without that magic weapon, his strength is not strong, and it will be easy for Yang Xiaoxing and Feng Xiaoxiao to defeat him." ”
Wang Shaobo also showed a sinister smile: "Brother Lin, high, high, really high, admire it!"
Feng Mingming asked, "Then why did you still talk about those cheaters just now?" ”
"First, this belongs to the abandonment of the car in the art of war, and throwing out those few people is what attracts their attention. Second, this person's method of using magic weapons is very secretive, and those cheaters will definitely be discovered after a long time...... In it, it has been nearly ten days of competition, and those who have not been found to cheat at this time have certain cheating methods, and this kind of person relies on cheating because their own strength is not very strong, and if they all win, they will invisibly reduce so many opponents. ”
The eleventh day had passed, and they were still trapped on the fifty-first floor, because none of the thirty people could solve the first problem of the gatekeepers.
The gatekeeper's first problem is to divide the pie.
The gatekeeper took out a piece of bread and asked for a knife to divide it in two parts. The difficulty is that this cake is not regular, not round, not square, but round, square and right angled, it is a completely irregular cake, and this strange and tricky cake needs to be divided into equal parts.
There were many people who came up with methods throughout the day, but they were all wrong, and none of them were able to make them.
Feng Mingming went to a place where no one was and asked, "Senior, how to solve this problem, we really don't have any thoughts." ”
"Xiaoxiao, I said I wouldn't help you...... I'll just remind you that you can now make two squares out of mud, one is a regular square cake and the other is a square cake of uneven thickness, and you can divide these two squares into equal parts, and the answer to the question of the gatekeeper is between the two squares. ”
"Hey, who are you talking to?" Yang Xiaoxing finally asked uncontrollably.
"You want to care?"
Yang Xiaoxing's face changed slightly, and he remembered something: "You...... You don't know how to talk to your seniors, your seniors taught you how to do it!"
"Nope. ”
"Little Wind ......"
Feng Xiaoxiao was a little angry: "If you say no, you don't want to sue me for cheating?"
The two are full of gunpowder, and they have the meaning of fighting if they don't agree.
"Hey, the two over there, are you going to fight again, why don't you hurry up and come over to discuss the solution. ”
At the critical moment, someone stopped the two, and Yang Xiaoxing had to pass.
Seeing that Yang Xiaoxing was gone, Feng Xiaoxiao also did as Lin Luotian said, and made two cakes out of mud, the regular 'square cake' and the uneven thickness of the 'square cake'.
"Hey, that's pretty simple. Feng Xiaoxiao didn't have to think about it, so he divided the first square cake into two halves, and then took the second square cake and fell into deep thought.
"How do you divide this uneven square cake, although the shape is square, but after a knife goes down, the two sides are not the same, because the thickness is uneven......" Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she finally knew the answer!
The thickness is uneven, that is, the weight is different!
She's found a loophole in the Gatekeeper title!
"Gatekeeper, I know the answer!" Feng Xiaoxiao immediately ran over to try to answer the question.
"Knowing is not the same as doing. ”
Feng Xiaoxiao was very confident, and with a sweep of her senses, she split the cake on the plate into two halves.
The gatekeeper immediately laughed: "Haha, little girl, do you call this equal division? The two sides are completely different!"
Feng Xiaoxiao said: "This is the equal portion, did you forget what the predecessor just said, the senior said to divide this cake in equal parts, and divide this cake in equal parts, but the senior didn't say how to divide it, I am equal according to the weight, if the senior doesn't believe it, then check it, the weight of the two halves is the same, this is the equal portion, and I equal the weight." ”
"Makes sense!"
"Yes, that's it!"
"Keeper, we're right!" the rest of the monks clapped their hands, all thinking they were right.
The gatekeeper nodded: "Yes, little girl, you are a little clever, you passed this first question...... However, the difficulty has not yet begun, and the next is the second question, which is to divide the cake. There is a piece of bread, and A, B, and C share this piece of bread, and ask how to divide it is the fairest, and it is in line with their own interests and does not harm the interests of others. ”
It's a matter of dividing the cake again, and the thirty people suddenly fell silent again, the first question can be said to be clever and passed, but this question doesn't seem to be so easy.
"There is no time limit, think for yourself...... Then again, why is it that it's only you all the time, and the rest of you shouldn't even be able to get here. ”
But no one paid attention to the gatekeepers, and then they discussed it in groups.
Feng Xiaoxiao left alone again.
Yang Xiaoxing followed: "The question just now, was the senior told you?"
"No, I thought of it. ”
"Hmph, it must be because your predecessors gave you a hint. ”
Feng Xiaoxiao turned his head and ignored him.
"Anyway, it's no problem for anyone to answer, you hurry up and ask the seniors again. ”
I asked, but the senior said he didn't know. ”
"Huh?" Yang Xiaoxing was stunned, "Don't the seniors know?"
"Yes, I asked just now, but my predecessors said that this question is very difficult, and ordinary problem-solving thinking will not work. ”
"Gatekeeper, I know the answer!" After a stick of incense, someone knew the answer.
Yang Xiaoxing was a little surprised: "The seniors don't know, he has the answer so soon?"
"Oh, so fast? I'm a little surprised to be honest, but let's talk about it first. ”
"Hmph!" said the monk confidently, "if it is two people, it will definitely be able to divide it fairly, for example, first divide it into two equal parts, and A and B will each choose one piece, and if they both think that the other party has more than themselves, then they can exchange with each other, or one person will cut it, and one person will pick it, so that it can also be fair." But since there are three people, then kill one person first, and then divide the remaining two, and the third person he will not say that it is unfair, since it is not said that it is unfair, then it means that it is fair!"
The gatekeeper sneered: "The trick just now is just over, do you think you can pass this question with some cleverness?
"I know the answer!" another Thunderstorm monk stepped forward.
"Clever?"
"Of course not, so I'll take my time first...... A divides the bread into three equal parts, and then asks B and C to choose a piece for A. ”
The monk had barely finished speaking when the gatekeeper interrupted: "What you call A's equal division is only A's own opinion, what if B and C think that A is not equally divided? And how do you know that B and C will agree? B wants to give the first piece to A, and C wants to give the second piece to A...... It must be in your own interests, but you must not harm the interests of others, and your method is unfair no matter how you say it. ”
Immediately, another monk gave his answer: "Then let A cut off a third of it himself, and of course A can't cut it for himself." ”
The gatekeeper interrupted again: "I won't cut less for myself, but A may also cut more for myself, of course B and C won't agree, let alone fair." ”
At the same time, Lin Luotian outside also said the question, and he didn't have any opinions on this question, and it was unfair how to divide it, so he had to brainstorm and let everyone think of a way.
But after a few people discussed for a while, there was still no answer.
Lin Luotian saw that the flower demon was calm and relaxed, so he asked, "Seniors know the answer?"
"I only have my answer. ”
"I want to hear about it. ”
The flower demon god said: "First of all, you must know that the division of the cake in this question is different from the previous one, and the key to this question is whether it is fair or not, not the so-called equal division...... Find a referee, divide the cake into three equal parts, and then have A, B, and C each take a piece blindfolded...... The three of them were randomly selected without seeing it, and even if you take less, you can't say it's unfair. ”
"What the predecessors said is extremely true. The answer of the flower demon god made Lin Luotian's eyes light up, indeed, this answer is very good, the key to solving the problem is not to divide equally, but to divide the fairest for the three of them.
And the fairest thing for the three of them is to take a piece of each of them out of sight.
Because neither of them knows whether the other has more or less bread, this is the fairest thing!
