Chapter 274 'Weight' Game

Doudou is right.

It is indeed a balance.

Because when the two of them reached the end of the bridge, that is, after climbing to the middle of the scale, they found a sign here.

The sign is in the most conspicuous position, and anyone who arrives here can easily see it.

“Welcome to the weight game. You need to accurately adjust the weights on both sides of the scale to open the mysterious entrance to the fairy tale town. The following are detailed game tips and rules, please read carefully:”

"Game Goal

Restoring the Balance: The balance is currently unbalanced due to a "weight" on one side being too heavy. Your task is to stand on the play area of ​​the balance and restore the balance by inserting copper, silver and gold coins.

“Rules of the Game

Stand and Throw: You will stand on the glass platform of the scale. Use the copper, silver and gold coins in your hand and throw them to one side of the scale.

Number of throws: You only have five chances to throw. Each time you throw, you can put in any number of copper coins, silver coins or gold coins (regardless of type and quantity).

Balance judgment: When the balance is balanced, the entrance to the fairy tale town will be triggered.

If the scales are not balanced after five throws, the game is over.

Consequences of game failure: After failing the game, the glass platform you are standing on will shatter.

You will fall into the abyss"

This is a pretty standard game tip.

When seeing this game prompt, Doudou had only one thought, that she should bring more of the three types of coins. She thought that what they brought now might not be enough.

I wanted to go back to get it, but found that the way I came, which was the other end of the suspension bridge, was closed.

Can not go back.

At this time, Luo Xi walked to the direction where the heavy scale was and looked into the scale pan that looked like a huge bowl.

Inside, there are all kinds of coins.

There are copper coins, silver coins and gold coins.

There seemed to be thousands.

Then Luo Xi walked to the other end, which was the "light" direction, and found that there were also many coins in the scale pan over there. If you just look at it visually, you can't tell which side has more and which side has less.

Doudou also looked back and forth.

"I can't tell them apart. I feel like they're all about the same. Why are the coins on the right pan heavier than the ones on the left? And we're only allowed to throw the coins into the pan five times. How can that be enough? And what if we throw in all the coins we brought with us and it still isn't enough?"

Doudou obviously put herself into the role of "player", and found that this "weight game" was very difficult.

In her opinion, the amount of coins invested for the first time must not be small.

Because this is a test, and the weight of the coins thrown in must shake the scale, that is, the scale must change, otherwise it will be invalid and a throwing opportunity will be wasted.

But don't invest too much.

This would be troublesome if the originally "lighter" scale pan suddenly became heavier than the other end due to the weight of the coins thrown into it.

It is best to move one end but not exceed the other end, so that you can judge the difference in weight on both sides of the scale by the weight of the coins put in.

"Another point is that the glass platform where we will stand is more than four meters away from the scales on both sides. Although it is not far, there is a possibility that the ball may not be thrown in, which is equivalent to wasting the opportunity. So, give the throwing job to me, and I can throw it in 100%." ​​Doudou actually volunteered at this time.

She has an enhanced physique, which is not only reflected in strength and physical strength, but also in the five senses, including body coordination. The accuracy of throwing is closely related to this physical quality.

Luo Xi had no objection to this.

In terms of control and precision of strength, Doudou's enhanced physique is clearly superior, and there is no doubt about that.

The two of them stood on the glass platform over there at this time.

As soon as we got up, the suspension bridge we came from suddenly broke, then fell down and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Obviously, this leaves no way out.

"The game should start when we step onto this glass platform. So, you decide how many coins to throw in the first time." Doudou moved his arms and fingers.

Obviously, there is a clear division of labor.

She was only responsible for throwing the coin accurately onto the corresponding scale plate, and she didn't care how much she threw. In fact, she didn't have any idea about this weight game at the moment.

Five chances made the scale unbalanced, and they had no idea how much weight each side had. In addition, the three types of silver coins they brought with them might not be enough.

It can be said that the current situation is quite tricky.

She was totally at her wit's end.

And in fact, in her heart, she didn't think Luo Xi could crack this game.

If they could throw unlimited times, and provided they brought enough coins, they might be able to complete the game, but they only have five chances, which is simply impossible.

"Actually, this game is very simple!" Luo Xi suddenly said at this time.

"Simple? Oh, okay, okay, tell me how simple it is." Doudou thought he was bragging.

"The word weight is a kind of misleading and trap in this game. Of course, this factor has been hinted at before, most obviously in the three dogs. No matter how big their eyes are, they all weigh the same. They are not as heavy as imagined."

"What do you mean? And what does the weight of the dog have to do with the balance and the weight game? We are weighing coins now, not dogs." Doudou didn't understand at all.

"But the dog is sitting on a box of three kinds of coins, and its eyes are of different sizes, which is the most obvious clue. In addition, if you look closely at the three kinds of coins, you will know that no matter whether it is a copper coin, a silver coin or a gold coin, their weights are the same."

"I noticed that." Doudou nodded. She was carrying three kinds of coins on her body, so the weight of each coin was the same. This detail could not be ignored.

"So, if the silver coins are of the same weight, the effect will be the same no matter what coins are put into the scale. But the three coin boxes are clearly different. The size of the dog's eyes, the value of the three metals of copper, silver and gold. If you look carefully just now, you will find that the number of coins in the two scales is actually almost the same, but one end is obviously much heavier than the other end. This is obviously unreasonable."

Doudou seemed to have thought of something. She took out three kinds of coins, looked at them in her hand, and raised her head and said, "You mean, the 'weight' mentioned here is not the real weight, but the value?"

"This possibility is very high." Luo Xi was obviously not 100% sure about this.

But based on a series of observations so far, the possibility is indeed quite high.

Doudou's eyes also lit up.

"This is in line with the design principles of the level scene, because this is what is called optimizing the scene design without violating the principle of fairness and justice. Use value instead of 'weight' because the reason is simple. One silver coin can be exchanged for more copper coins. In terms of value, it is a one-to-many relationship. Gold coins are naturally the most valuable, so the seemingly heavy scale seems to have more gold coins."

She looks like she has discovered a new world.

"Yes, that must be the case. This idea is so clever. How did you come up with it?" Doudou looked at Luo Xi, who just smiled and said, "I heard that the company has divided the physical enhancement of administrators into several levels. Ordinary people are ordinary people, and those who are better than ordinary people are elites. The elite level starts from C level and goes up. You should be elite B level. As long as you reach the elite level, it will be a qualitative leap compared to ordinary people. Except for thinking and reasoning abilities, all other aspects will be improved, not to mention physical strength, power, reflexes, sensitivity and coordination. Your vision and hearing will also be improved, so please help me see how many gold coins are in each of the two scales."

After Luo Xi finished speaking, Doudou shook his head: "I can't see it."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Xi squatted down and patted his shoulder.

Doudou understood immediately.

She immediately put her feet on Luo Xi's shoulders, and when the latter stood up, she also stood up upright. The height was increased, and her vision was naturally better. She could see the situation on the two scales at both ends of the scale.

The three coins are different in appearance and reflect different amounts of light.

Doudou checks them separately and calculates the quantity quickly.

"Just gold coins? I can count silver and copper coins, too."

"That's meaningless!" Luo Xi shook his head: "You can only see the surface of the coins, but you can't see the types of coins hidden underneath."

"According to what you said, I wouldn't be able to see the gold coins if they were hidden underneath," Doudou retorted.

"As expected, there are no gold coins underneath." Luo Xi explained: "You yourself said that when designing any level scene game, we must uphold the principle of fairness and justice, that is, the gameplay must exist and be traceable. If the person who designed this also hid the most important gold coins underneath, then no one would be able to pass the level with five chances to insert coins. Therefore, since the game rules are so harsh, we can only make some concessions in the scene design. In other words, we have to design a very obvious 'clue'."

Doudou thought about it carefully and had to admit that what Luo Xi said was absolutely right.

The reasoning that sounds a bit absurd actually has traces to follow. The reason why it feels absurd is not because the reasoning process is absurd, but because the result is abnormal. However, the result is not designed by the player, but by the scene designer.

So it is the scene designer who is absurd, not Luo Xi as the player.

"I've counted them. If you only look at the number of gold coins on the two scales, the right heavy scale has 37 gold coins, while the left light scale has only 19 gold coins."

"In other words, there is a difference of 18 gold coins. One gold coin can be exchanged for 100 silver coins, and one silver coin can be exchanged for 1 copper coins. This is equivalent to 100 more copper coins or 190000 silver coins!" Luo Xi muttered to himself.

Doudou was stunned for a moment: "Did you guess this exchange rate, or did you find some clues?"

"There are clues. The exchange rates of the three types of coins are engraved on the walls of the three rooms."

"How come I didn't notice it? Wait a minute, I remember there were all kinds of messy words on the walls of those three rooms. They didn't look like English."

"That's Danish. Andersen, the author of Tinderbox, is Danish. Don't you know that?" Luo Xi asked in surprise.
