Ayanokoji in Kexue World

(65) Where do you want to go

It just depends on the other party's situation, why bother to place such a boring bet.

Originally, I was eager to try this poker game, but it seemed that some ingredients that I didn't like were sprinkled on the dish, and my interest was suddenly depressed.

I looked back at Mori Ogai, and the more I looked at him, the more I felt that this person was not worth my effort.

"Is this person so important to you?"

Gogol's voice fell on my head.

I didn't know what he was talking about for a while, and it was probably when I was replaying at night that I suddenly realized that Gogol's perspective at the time might have thought that I was making up my mind for Mori Ogai and wanted to get something from Mori Ogai. The courage and belief to go all out.But at that time, I just thought that Gogol reminded me——

"Right now Mori Ogai is the 'important person' in everyone's eyes."

If you act too inappropriately, it will easily make people suspicious.

"Then who will deal the cards?"

Neither I nor Gogol are suitable for dealing cards. We can easily remember the position of each card during the deal.

Gogol thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me."

Gogol also made a serious phone call, which seemed to be serious.I stood still and watched him for a while, then turned my head to look at Mori Ogai's quilt slowly and rhythmically rising and falling due to breathing.I originally wanted to observe the situation outside Mori Owai's door when Gogol was talking on the phone, but Gogol stopped me.

He didn't block me with his body, and he didn't signal with his hands that I couldn't go forward, he just grabbed my hood with his hands.I hate to think about it, but for a split second I sort of understand those puppies that can't go far on a leash.

"Don't break the rules now." Gogol's conversion between Russian and Japanese is very natural, and his daily expression does not have the blunt textbook grammar and tone that are unique to foreigners when they speak Japanese.

"Have you lived here long?"

Gogol ended the call and said, "I have been the secretary-general of Deputy Minister Minami in Yokohama for some time. When I was in Kyoto, I saw you, although I watched it on a big screen."

He was probably referring to the meeting held by Karshasha for the IP planning in Kyoto.

"I overwhelmed you to win all the games, but I lost a lot in the end."

Gogol looked at me like arrows, and according to what he said later, he wanted to see if he could prick my conscience with his eyes.But my mood now is the same as my mood afterwards.

"Oh."

After a moment of silence, Gogol led me to another warm room with a red velvet carpet underneath.Standing on one side was a tall, thin, two-haired youth, his gray pupils were full of dissatisfaction.

"Sigma." Gogol's ever-changing smile looked more and more like a mask.

The first time I heard this name, I exchanged glances with that young man, and then received a dissatisfied stare from him.

Gogol said: "Anyway, sooner or later you will run a casino. If you are not the croupier, who else could it be?"

Sigma: "I'm not as idle as you. Don't always add tasks to me suddenly for no reason."

The character is very serious.

What is this person's ability?

"Also, don't keep looking at me." Sigma said to me unceremoniously.

I subconsciously shifted my gaze.

Gogol handed the pure white card to Sigma and said, "How can you be so cruel to a child?"

"Isn't he a shrunken Ayanokouji?"

Gogol said: "But now he is a cub, look at his hands."

After looking at my hands, Sigma asked Gogol expressionlessly, "And then? I haven't seen you being polite to him before. You're just trying to play tricks on me."

"You're not stupid."

Gogol made no secret of his acknowledgment of Sigma.

"If you're ready, we'll deal the cards."

The total number of cards is 54, of which 53 are actually placed on the table.This is to prevent a tie situation.The card surface is material matching, that is to say, the probability of being able to match after turning over a card is [-]/[-]% lower than that of ordinary card neurasthenia games.This is still very high in general, but the key is whether to go first or second.

In fact, this kind of game of exploring the unknown is generally more likely to be won by the second player.Because they have more complete information.But when Gogol made it clear that he would play a thousand, the chances of winning first will be higher.

"Then let's decide who goes first."

Sigma fully entered his own state, and took out a golden coin. There was no special pattern on the front and back, but the pattern could only be divided into two types: inward and outward, in order to avoid subtle weight differences between coins caused by engraving.American Stanford mathematician Dai Connis once conducted research and found that "the heavy side of the coin will cause the center of gravity to shift, and when the coin is thrown, the heavy side will naturally fall down."

"The one who guesses right goes first."

The coin circled several times in mid-air, and layers of double images finally landed on the back of Sigma's hand.

Gogol said: "Then I choose "Li". "

""outside". "

Sigma opened his covered palm and said calmly, "Outside."

"Then I will go first."

"Please."

I was not polite, and flipped over two cards.

Although the top is pure white, in fact there is an answer sheet stuck under the white paper.In this way, it is convenient for others to tear off the white paper and check whether the pairing is successful.Of course this is bondable.

Sigma, acting as judge, began to examine the two cards.

"Pair a group."

After the voice fell, Gogol smiled and said, "I was lucky at the beginning."

I didn't respond to him, and just picked two more.

Sigma checks again.

"Pair up again. It's your turn, Gogol."

Gogol looked at my hands suspiciously, and said again: "You are so lucky, have you cheated too?"

"See for yourself."

Of course I cheated.

Gogol couldn't get any answer from my face, tilted his head, and after flipping through a set, he didn't find a set of pairs as I imagined.The game relies on tactile memory, and naturally allows the opponent to touch the card, just like a general neurasthenia, after turning over the card, it will naturally let the opponent see the face of the card.

I start with the cards that are closer to me first. As long as I get 14 pairs, at least half of the game is won.I flipped through another set of pairs this time, and from the corner of my eye I could clearly see Gogol subconsciously looking at Sigma.

Judging from this action, he is probably thinking that Sigma and I are in collusion.But I have no intersection with him from the past to the present, so how could we be accomplices?

Sigma reacted coldly to Gogol's eyes looking at him and said, "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing." Gogol retracted his doubts and reminded me, "Even if you win, you still have to guess what trick I used."

I looked up and turned over another set of cards and said, "You are quite calm about accepting your loss."

Generally, in the gambling game, the big winner is either lucky or skilled.This skill is good, so it is naturally a casino scammer.They seldom show their superior skills to the surface, and if they lose, they lose. This is because their skills are inferior to others.

"Speaking of your obvious cheating methods, you will definitely be kicked out to play in the casino." Gogol propped his chin and looked at me.

This is natural.

In anyone's opinion, there is something wrong with my flopping technique.

Neurasthenia is a memory game, so when it comes to memory games, there must be a memorization link.That is to say, generally speaking, most of the early stages of playing this kind of cards are flops. After players memorize the position and number of each card that is turned over, they will directly flop and match when it is their turn.But during the game, I didn't even remember the cards once, and the pairing was successful.like I would-

"Do you have the ability to see through?"

"Of course not."

I don't think it's a special thing to be a supernatural being, or to be better than someone else in some way.This is probably due to that person's education—no matter who they are, no matter how outstanding they are, they are not entitled to special privileges.

All people are "equal".

Only "failure" is not allowed.

I don't think this kind of thing needs to be done through powers or other supernatural abilities.In fact, when Gogol gave me the cards to check the cards just now, I arranged the positions of all the cards according to my ideas, and of course I also disrupted the factory settings.

After Gogol took the cards, he then shuffled them crosswise, and after two rounds of shuffling, he handed them over to Sigma.As the croupier, Sigma would naturally shuffle the cards again, using the seven-time shuffling method of the mathematical magician PerciDiaconis.According to the calculation of PerciDiaconis, it is believed that generally speaking, the pigeon tail shuffling needs to be shuffled seven times to achieve the basic level of shuffling.Because as the number of shuffling increases, the degree of confusion will almost plummet at the fifth time, and the change in the degree of chaos will become smaller at the tenth time.

This is not to say that "the degree of chaos will become smaller", but "it will not become chaotic", but "it is meaningless to continue to shuffle, and the effect of random cards will be basically reached at the seventh or eighth time. Probably It is the same principle that when painting oil paintings, blending various colors together, mixing the base color into black, and continuing to add new colors will not change the black.

But when Gogol started playing cards, everything can be calculated.Card counting is nothing new to mathematicians, or magicians.Some magicians can even put the cards back in place if they know how many times to shuffle them.This technique is called "perfect shuffle".In other words, the magician can shuffle the cards back to the original position according to the number of times.

Going back to the original question, I have to deal with the problem of "how to calculate the position of all cards after Sigma's shuffling".Of course, the calculations involved here will be more complicated.Now as long as there is programming, it can be calculated.And programming also relies on mathematical equations, so as long as you have enough computing power, it is not difficult to calculate the position of the card.Therefore, what I have to do from the beginning is that I must know the position of each card, then I can only look at the position of each card in the future, and I can achieve the "perspective" effect that Gogol said ——Know exactly what the bottom card looks like without flopping.

In fact, I think it would be more convenient to arrange the cards directly according to the factory settings, but I think Gogol may have the same computing power as me, so it would be better to shuffle the cards.But when I saw that he just shuffled the cards instead of determining the position of the cards, I knew that his method was different from mine.

In the first round, Gogol did not win two sets of cards and basically showed his defeat.

At the beginning, he said that he would cheat, and set the number of flops. I thought at the beginning that he just didn't want to flop all by himself and end the game too boringly.So, I didn't try to hide my ability to count cards in the first place.

Apparently, Gogol also noticed that he was going to lose, so he reminded me that I still had to find out how he would cheat.

However, this also shows that he is in a hurry.

I said, "Should we up the ante? I see you think I can't figure out how you're going to cheat?"

"You have such a winning expression, most people wouldn't bet with you, right?"

I said blankly: "People's luck is limited."

"Okay, what do you want? I would like to hear about it." Gogol said, pointing his finger up, "Change Mori Ogai to a room with heating? Or add more nutritious and sufficient food?"

"I want to trade the opportunity to meet Mori Ogai for a trip."

"You don't care about his life or death?"

"His fate is up to God, not me. I can't do anything."

Gogol smiled meaningfully: "You should be very good at deceiving people, right? This expression looks like you don't care about him at all. You actually want to run out to find foreign aid?"

"It's actually good for him to stay here."

It is very convenient for me, and can be used to restrain Tuosi.

Since they think that Mori Ogai is an important person to me, they will naturally be worried about letting ordinary people take care of him. It is very likely that the key people will stay and watch him and pay attention.They're funny -- they think I'm going to be sad that Mori Ogai is dead, and I'm going to have to tell them the book exists.But it's them who are really in trouble.If the person I value the most dies, do I have anything to worry about?Therefore, they will not let Mori Ogai's "soft spot" have an accident.

I don't think they can't see through it, they just want to bet with me-whether I can really bear other people's accidents because of me.

"Since the initiative is with me, if I want to change the bet, I also want to change my original bet."

"What would make you feel so ashamed?"

"What do you mean?"

"You are a child now, pretending to be cute, and kissing you by the way, you should be able to do it, right?"

"can."

Whether I win or lose, I will put the blame on Mori Ogai.

So I answered very calmly.

It is no surprise that Gogol lost this game.And his way of making money——not making money.

Gogol carries cards with him, which shows that he likes games very much and has great confidence in his abilities, so it is very likely that he will not rely on extraordinary skills.Furthermore, he has a cunning personality. He made it clear that he would go out of his way to put psychological pressure on others, but this just means that he is a person who likes to play tricks.In the end, he was able to confirm this point. When I flopped, he deliberately reminded me of the rules.

If you are really sure, you don't need to do this kind of thing.

He himself said, I am a memory master.Then such a simple gambling rule is naturally well understood.

Therefore, this shows that he was in a hurry when he planned to play psychological warfare at the beginning.

"You can obviously use supernatural powers."

Gogol's space system ability.

"If you observe the flaws and weaknesses of my abilities, wouldn't my gains outweigh the losses?"

"Do you have limitations?"

"Why, do you want a cliché?"

"You don't have to say it." I don't care.

Gogol suddenly laughed: "Of course I don't have to say it. What's your name?"

He paused and asked, "So where are you going?"

"Um……"

I want to see Ranpo Edogawa.

The author has something to say:

You can still get a small red envelope for this message.

Ayanokoji: Although Mori Ogai's life and death have nothing to do with me, living is more helpful to me.
