The boy was facing the blackboard, talking politely: "There are many solutions and formulas that we can adopt to solve this problem. The common ones are total probability formula, conditional probability formula and Bayesian formula. In addition, using the independence of events Sex can also effectively solve this problem.”

Next, it's naturally time for the protagonist to talk about his solution.

The comics do not spend too much space in this regard, after all, the main purpose of the comics is not to talk about mathematics, and readers are not here to read math problems.

After simply verifying that "changing the choice" is more likely to win than "keeping the original choice" by using mathematics, it seems that there is still more to say. Before the professor could comment, Campbell concluded: "In general, if you want to There is a greater chance of winning in this probability game, and the audience must maintain absolute rationality in the process."

"From a psychological point of view, most people are more inclined to maintain their original choices, but in fact, you can only achieve a higher success rate if you ignore your intuition and let reason overcome emotion."

Luo Gaofeng seemed to understand this.

Although I don't understand what it means, it sounds like a powerful look?

But what does this have to do with the theme of "The Capture of Las Vegas"?

As the get out of class bell rang, the students in the classroom gradually walked away, and Campbell was one of them.He slung the backpack over his right shoulder and walked out.

Then there is a short routine.

He walked along the corridor, all the way out of the teaching building, and when he passed the basketball court next to him, he smiled and rejected his friend's invitation to play basketball, saying that he had a part-time job on weekends, and he would make an appointment next time.However, Campbell, who said he had a part-time job, pushed open the door of a small laboratory after leaving the playground.

With the opening of the door, the scene inside the laboratory is also presented to the audience——

Luo Gaofeng saw the other two people in the laboratory at a glance—that is, the other two protagonists in this cartoon.Then he noticed that there was a rectangular table in front of the two of them, with several playing cards scattered on it.

Hearing the sound of the door, the girl with light brown curly hair began to pack up the cards on the table, and said without raising her head, "Are you ready?"

"of course."

This sentence seems to be a signal.

The plot of the manga suddenly speeds up here, showing the behavior of the protagonists through a few simple pictures: they take off their school uniforms and put on plain or aggressive or sexy clothes, which makes them look like students no longer When Campbell curled his lips and stepped into the casino with ease, his slightly greasy smile made it hard to believe that he was a student at school—rather than a delinquent boy who was out of society.

In the luxurious casino, Campbell exchanged [-] worth of chips and sat down under the dim light.

His companions also stood or sat, staying not far from him one after another, using some unique code created within their group to play this game of probability in the form of group cooperation.

The dealer starts to deal the cards.

Following the successive defeats, the boy in the manga frowned, his expression gradually becoming restless.

The plot in the comic is still going on, and at the same time that Campbell lost the card, the author added a simple text description to the upper right corner of the screen:

[Blackjack is a game of probability, no one can be invincible in this game of fate, and card counting skills can only increase the player's chance of winning by 21%——]

Of course Luo Gaofeng understood this truth.

Even the king of gambling can't guarantee that he will never fail-unless he cheats.The God of Destiny cannot always be on the side of a certain person, and the existence of card counting can only increase the chances of winning cards, so that the benefits gained in the end are greater than the benefits lost.

Another deal.

Campbell stared blankly.

The manga gave him a close-up at this time, the young man seemed a little irritable, but upon closer inspection, his eyes were clear, and when the waiting poker player made an impatient voice, it seemed that the irritability in his heart had piled up. Extremely ordinary, without even thinking about it, he directly pushed out all the chips in front of him!

[However, just this 3% probability is enough to make a big difference. 】

Accompanied by the text description on the screen, Campbell opened the two cards in front of him.

The first card is A.

The second one is...

Under the gaze of all eyes, Campbell lowered his eyes and unhurriedly opened the last card——

10!

The surrounding crowd screamed uncontrollably: "Blackjack! It's Blackjack!" As if to match this environment, the teenager behind the poker table also burst into laughter.

Blackjack, Black Jack, means 21 points, and it is higher than other 21 points combined in any form. If the dealer does not have Black Jack, the player will win twice the betting money!

In this one game alone, he doubled the chips he lost before and got back!

Campbell bit the corner of his lips, a very shallow smile appeared in his eyes.Then he won and lost a few times, and finally he seemed to be tired of playing, he changed the chips in his hand to five times, turned and walked towards the gate of the casino.

From other angles of the casino, the companions who provided him with information and tips also got up as if nothing had happened, and left one after another.When they returned to the laboratory again and laughed at the white cash, Campbell's eyes were clear.

"Let me tell you, Ben, it's a good thing you ignored my last reminder," the girl sighed, "Although we can win it back later, we certainly can't win as much as you chose to put all your eggs in one basket."

Campbell said briefly: "Most of the time, probability does not match human intuition."

And the game of card counting is the process in which human beings contend with their own sensibility——

At this moment, the scene flashed back to the classroom at the beginning of the comic, the boy propped his hands on the table, talking about the probability of cars and sheep.

Accompanied by the text commentary in the upper right corner of the comic, after passing through the school corridor and through the playground, the camouflaged Campbell finally stood in front of the casino gate.At the same time, in the upper right corner of Campbell's back, there is also a series of text explanations that continue the preface——

To ensure the profit of card counting, you must maintain the absolute rationality of a robot at the table.

Similar to the Sherlock Holmes series, the ending of the first episode of "The Fall of Las Vegas" is also fixed on a back view, but one is the back of a passerby, and the other is the back of the protagonist Campbell entering the gate of the casino.

There are several comics by other authors in "Huaying Comics", but Luo Gaofeng is not interested at the moment.He didn't read any other comics, and he couldn't wait to open the comic forum, wanting to share his impressions with other fans.

He clicked on the Two-dimensional forum he frequented, and as expected, several posts appeared on the front page at this moment, either discussing bookmark conscience, or discussing "The Capture of Las Vegas" and "A Study in Scarlet Holmes" comic drama.

He casually opened a discussion thread:

Title: Take a look, return visits from readers of the first issue, popular vote Which article do you plan to choose? [vote]

Content: First, let’s talk about the quality of Huaying’s peripherals. The original poster was going for the peripherals. I didn’t expect that not only the bookmarks are good-looking, but the quality of the comics is also very good. As long as the first issue can be maintained in the future, I will order this comic weekly!

Finally, praise the stars every day, like the plot of "The Fall of Las Vegas", and blow up the cover of the first issue by the way!The Sherlock Holmes drawn by the stars is so handsome!It would be great if we could produce the same high-definition poster QAQ

Floor 1: Just like the original poster, I went to the surrounding area and got 2333 fans in the comic circle. I was not interested in comics at first. After all, I really don’t like suspenseful reasoning... I still like "The Fall of Las Vegas" a little more, maybe This kind of plot of the middle two bursting the watch is more in line with my preferences.

Floor 2: Me too...

Floor 3: I whispered, actually, I also like "The Fall of Las Vegas"... Xing Xing's painting style this time feels very serious to me, but girls may not feel as beautiful as the fall, although the cover is Sherlock Holmes is also very handsome, but is he so handsome and serious?

Floor 4: This is also normal, after all, it is a theme of suspense and reasoning, so of course it is impossible to do any fancy things in terms of painting style.

Seeing this, Luo Gaofeng suddenly became a little curious about the results of the vote—he hesitated for a while, and finally voted for Holmes. At the same time, the results of other readers' votes were also displayed at this time:

1. "The Fall of Las Vegas" - 39 votes.

2. "A Study in Scarlet" - 20 votes.

……

Although this kind of online forum voting has no reference value, Luo Gaofeng was still surprised by the result. Obviously, compared with Sherlock Holmes's drama-oriented reasoning comics, most readers are more entertaining, lighter, and more secondary. I am more interested in the invasion.

Thinking of this, Luo Gaofeng inevitably felt a little complicated.

He subconsciously dragged the mouse, pulled down the page, and when he casually glanced at the computer screen, he suddenly stopped—he was obviously not the only one who had doubts about the voting results.

Floor 54: After taking a look at the voting results, it is obvious that the masses have discerning eyes.It's very strange why Xing Xing entrusts the capture to others, and draws Sherlock Holmes by herself... Obviously the capture is more beautiful.

Floor 55: You can’t say that. Sherlock Holmes, as a reasoning comic, is obviously a more serious type of drama. The theme of reasoning in dramas is inherently cold, and it’s normal that the popularity is not as good as the invasion.

Luo Gaofeng glanced at the posts below. Apart from some people who were still discussing the plot, others were arguing in the posts. Some people thought that the capture was more interesting and easier to look at, and some people preferred Sherlock Holmes. This type of comics has no interest in the capture of the Second Secondary School.

Luo Gaofeng is not as excited as other readers.

In his opinion, whether it is the capture or Sherlock Holmes, each has its own merits.The former is interesting, while the latter has a serious subject matter, but the method of telling the story is very relaxed, so that even those who are not interested in reasoning can enjoy watching it, there is nothing to argue about.

There was such a group of people arguing in the post, and Luo Gaofeng, who wanted to find someone to discuss the plot, suddenly lost interest. He immediately closed the topic post and continued to read the rest of the comics of "Hua Ying Manga".

A week later.

When Huaying Comics officially announced that the weekly sales of the first issue exceeded 150 million copies, the results of the first round of popular selection of comics that readers liked were also posted on the official website of Huaying Comics——

1. "The Fall of Las Vegas"---61.2%

2. "A Study in Scarlet"---23.5%

At the same time, a slightly subtle post also appeared on the homepage of the comic forum:

Title: Suddenly curious, judging from the current momentum of "The Fall of Las Vegas", will Xingxing regret handing it over to other comic authors?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Due to the needs of the plot, part of the content of Chapter [-] is quoted from the original work. Part of the plot in this chapter is put in the author's words, and the charged part of the quoted text in the previous chapter is added.

[The following begins as the text]

————————————————————————————

He resented this unbearable ending for a while, and soon remembered another comic related to Shepherd Star - it seemed that Xing Xing was responsible for the script creation, and another comic author was responsible for drawing, the name seemed to be... "The Capture of Las Vegas"?

Thinking of this, Luo Gaofeng no longer hesitated, and then flipped the weekly magazine in his hand to the page belonging to "The Capture of Las Vegas".

Different from the Sherlock Holmes series, which is more in the style of youth comics, "The Fall of Las Vegas" looks more juvenile in style, which is a common style of juvenile comics.Luo Gaofeng glanced at the two men and a woman on the cover, and soon turned his attention to the plot of the manga itself.

The first thing that appeared before his eyes was a bird's-eye view of a school.

Luo Gaofeng knew about this school, or in other words, no one did not know about this university, which represents the top level of engineering and computer science in Bluestar, and the protagonist of this cartoon——Ben Campbell, is exactly this school. Engineering students.

After a brief introduction, the screen enters a bright classroom.

The mathematics teacher on the podium was talking about a probabilistic solution to the famous rook-sheep problem.It means that in a certain entertainment program, there are three unopened doors 1, 2, and 3 on the stage, and there is a car and two sheep behind the three doors. The lucky audience will choose one of these three, and Get what's behind the door.

When the audience chose one of the doors, the host did not immediately open the door chosen by the audience, but opened another door, behind which was a sheep.

Now there are only two doors left on the stage, one with a car behind it and the other with a sheep. The question is: Should the audience who has made a choice change his choice?Keeping the original choice unchanged, or changing your own choice, which one is more likely to win?

At the same time as the teacher gave the topic, the cartoon screen also switched to the protagonist in a timely manner.

The boy rested his chin, his gaze was naturally fixed on the blackboard, but his expression was a little absent-minded.But Luo Gaofeng was not in the mood to pay attention to these anymore, his attention had already been attracted by this weird topic.

Without him, this topic is too familiar. Just a month ago, in a certain physics class, he heard this topic from his physics teacher.

Speaking of which, what did the physics teacher say at the time?

Luo Gaofeng: ...forgot.

Forget it, it's not an important knowledge point anyway, and it won't be tested in the exam, it's just an entertainment topic.

As he thought about it, he didn't carelessly put it behind him, and turned to pay attention to the protagonist's answer.

"Campbell, what do you think?"

Following the professor's question, the boy who had been sitting in a daze at his place stood up all of a sudden—it has to be said that the manga author worked hard on the character design of this manga, at least in Luo Gaofeng's view, With the inherent style of this comic, the protagonist looks much more beautiful than the protagonist of the Sherlock Holmes series.

"I would change my options," Campbell said.

"Oh?" The professor smiled and said, "I would like to hear more about it."

The teenager in the comics is wearing a simple white shirt, and the tie of the uniform hangs loosely on his chest. He rests his hands casually on the table, his face still has the same careless look, and his dark blue eyes are neither humble nor humble. To the professor on the podium.
