Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god

As Fern said, if you only consider "survival rate" and there is no obvious "forcing" component, the optimal solution to this game is actually "drag".

If you win, you will only shorten the time, but if you lose, you may die directly. Although it is not necessarily death if the mine tunnel is blown up, it sounds like a difficult punishment to deal with.

However, for the two of them, the current situation really cannot afford to delay.

Cao Cao is now in an unknown situation that makes the two of them extremely uneasy... Even if they ignore the emergency situation caused by Cao Cao's operation, they don't have twelve hours to waste!

In reality, his body is still "losing blood" - perhaps this is why Cao will take the risk directly with Moss.

"Come on, Skeleton."

The second game begins.

The eight bowls spun again and soon stopped.

This time, Fern still asked immediately.

"Comparing the number five and six and number three and four, which one has more?"

The skeleton raised his head and spoke after a moment of silence: "There are more mine rats in bowls three and four."

"Okay, what's the sum of five and six?"

"The difference in the number of mine rats in these two bowls...is zero."

The skeleton's tone fluctuated slightly.

"Ha, you see, we have better luck this time. Just two questions have sealed the victory."

Fern said to Zao with a smile, and then looked at the skeleton.

"Do I have to ask the last question? Can I just choose now?"

The skeleton said awkwardly: "Of course."

After he finished speaking, Fern then smiled and spoke.

"Then I choose bowl number five."

The skeleton opened bowl No. 5, but it was empty.

Fern laughed lightly: "Now I believe it, you did not cheat... you are indeed honest."

After Fern finished speaking, the skeleton waved silently, the hand shaking the lever speeded up again, and the mine cart also accelerated again.

…

…

…

Ten minutes later, the mine car, which had accelerated to almost lightning speed, hit the wall with a bang and stopped directly at the bottom of the spiraling mine tunnel.

During the final descent, the skeleton had already parked its car and left early, so only Fern and Algae finally arrived here.

It's just that the two of them were almost vomited in the end, and now they were lying on the edge of the mine cart, panting.

After Zao took the lead to recover, he jumped out of the minecart and dragged out Fern, who was almost knocked unconscious. He found that the two of them had arrived at a "lounge"-like place.

A xenon lamp, which is much brighter than the previous hanging lamp, is placed on a low table. Surrounding the low table are several wooden barrels used as benches.

At the same time, there is a deck of playing cards scattered on the table.

Lin Yu and Tai were sitting at the table. When they saw the two coming, Lin Yu smiled and said hello to Fern and Zao.

"Oh... came quickly."

"Sure enough, I guessed it right. If there is a 'liar', he can indeed see through the 'traps' in his game and find the fastest way to crack it."

Fern was stunned: "What trap?"

Lin Yu was also very surprised: "Of course it's the 'any bowl' it says every time... It's a very superficial word game, although its biggest problem at first glance is that it can't lock a certain person with a single question. The specific value of the bowl, but its arbitrary value is not specified as arbitrary in this game, nor is it necessarily a number, so if you can ask the question that the number of bowls No. 8 is equal to the bowl containing a mine rat. "

"In this way, this question becomes a three-digit logic question - you choose two bowls for the first question each time and ask the difference in quantity between them. There are three cases of answers: 0, 1, and 2, and the answer is 2 , the second question directly asks whether one of them is 0, guaranteed to win.”

"The answer is 1. The second question asks whether one of them is 1. The one that is not 1 must win or draw."

"If the answer is 0, ask them the sum of them. If it is 0 or 4, choose one of them. If it is 2, ask if any one of them is equal to any other bowl. If it is not equal, just choose it. If it is equal, Just choose directly from the remaining ones. This is the least ideal situation, but it is still equivalent to eliminating three wrong options. There is only a one-fifth chance of answering incorrectly - and even if you answer incorrectly, it is not a big problem. Because if the minecart was fast enough before the track was blown up, it would not be fatal.”

"I drew six times, won five times and lost once."

Fern was silent: "I didn't expect this..."

"Then how did you get here? It can't be luck, right?"

Lin Yu asked in disbelief.

Zao sat across from Lin Yu: "Hey, you also said that guy is a 'liar', so naturally what she relies on is not 'solving puzzles' but 'deception'."

"Although the skeleton is shaking very fast, the sound of two skeletons, one skeleton and no skeleton is certainly different. Although I can't hear it, it's OK," Fern pursed his lips and said, "And because it is They are lined up, so at least Zao can confirm whether the two empty bowls are in the middle, on the left or on the right... accurate to the range of the two bowls."

"When I know that one of the two must be empty, I can ask the question with the answer."

"The two of us just need to act a little bit. As long as the skeleton doesn't find out that I cheated by relying on Zao's hearing, we can continue to cheat with this trick."

After Lin Yu listened, he was silent for a while and then gave a thumbs up.

"sharp."

Only then did he realize that sometimes he, the 'fraudster', was not as good as the real 'liar'.

When the Skeleton was honest and did not cheat, Lin Yu forgot to actively cheat and was really focused on finding the best solution for the game.

If he cheated, the worst-case failure probability of one-fifth could be avoided - after all, Lin Yu's plan was still flawed.

If he lost once at the beginning, it would still be very dangerous if he did not win several times in a row to speed up.

"Sure enough, my thinking is still too stereotyped sometimes... Unless the situation is very urgent, I generally do not choose to break the rules."

"But as a 'grass' character, it is indeed not appropriate to use unconventional means so frequently."

Lin Yu secretly reflected and analyzed.

In essence, it was because Lin Yu knew that he would not die in this dream - unlike Algae, Fern, and Moss, Lin Yu had the means to leave the dream at any time.

The first time he entered the dream was because he was not prepared.

But this time Lin Yu took the initiative to enter the dream, and Lao Zheng and Hannah were watching over him.

While Lin Yu was thinking...

Another mine car came clanging.

"Squeak--"

Accompanied by the sound of sudden brakes, a vehicle that looked more like a luxury train than a mine car stopped.

The door of the carriage painted with bright red opened, and a figure wrapped in a cloak walked out from inside.

Lin Yu recognized the other person at a glance.

"Wow... the real owner finally showed up."
