Chapter 394 Who is the ghost?
Liang Qu pondered for a long time before he understood what was going on.

"So that's how it is. It doesn't seem that difficult!"

There was some annoyance in his voice.

Maybe he felt that it was really bad that he couldn't answer such a simple question.

"Although it is not difficult, it also requires calm thinking. However, the situation you encountered at that time may make it difficult for you to calm down. So what is the second question?" Luo Xi had already sat in the taxi. After telling the driver the address, he leaned back in the chair and slightly opened the window. The cool breeze blew in, making his mind a lot clearer.

Liang Qu hurriedly relayed the second question to Luo Xi.

"The second question is a bit like a sitcom called 'Who is the Ghost'. I need to participate in this one myself. I don't understand what they are trying to do. I feel like these 'disaster people' are all mentally ill. They are all very abstract."

It seemed to have brought back some bad memories, and Liang Qu couldn't help but curse.

"Specifically, they placed three chairs in the room, and two disaster people would come out, including me, making a total of three people. We had to play roles randomly. There were two types of roles to play, one was 'human' and the other was 'ghost', but you didn't know which one you were going to play. You had to randomly get one from five hats with 'character name' written on them and put it on your head. You couldn't see your own hat, but you could see the characters on other people's hats."

"And what we already know is that out of the five hats, three are 'people' and two are 'ghosts'."

"I and two other guys wearing hats will sit in chairs and the referee will come and ask everyone the same question. He will ask everyone the same question.

"What he asked was, are you a human or a ghost, right?"

"Yes, yes!" Liang Qu nodded hurriedly, although Luo Xi on the other end of the phone couldn't see it at all: "This is the problem, how do I know if I am a human or a ghost? Because I can't see the words on my hat."

"That is to say, after the referee asked everyone the same question, he asked you to say whether you are a human or a ghost. However, strictly speaking, even if you are just guessing, you can get it right once after trying a few times. Could it be that the referee also asked you to explain the reasoning process clearly?"

"Luo Xi, you guessed it right. It is indeed the case. Even if I guessed it right, I can't explain the principle. This is simply bullying. If I can't pass these two levels, I can't move on to the third question. I really have no other choice but to come to you. If you can't help me, I will be really desperate."

There was a pleading tone in Liang Qu's voice.

It is true that by participating in the Disaster Star game, you can see your family, but if you cannot pass the level, you cannot change the result that both your family and yourself will be burned to death.

If you experience this kind of thing too often, even the strongest man will collapse.

"This game is actually very simple, Liang Qu. You just couldn't think calmly given the circumstances at the time." Luo Xi's words obviously calmed Liang Qu's mood a lot. He knew that Luo Xi was trying to comfort him.

"Thank you Luo Xi!"

"You're welcome. Let's talk about this 'Who is the Ghost' game. In essence, this is a simple math logic reasoning problem. There are 5 options, 3 people, and 2 ghosts. If only three people are arranged to sit on the chairs, that is to say, there are only three possible situations: 1. All three people; 3. 2 people and 2 ghost; 1. 3 person and 1 ghosts."

Liang Qu listened to Luo Xi's analysis and nodded.

It really is so.

"The problem lies in the referee's question. He will only ask the parties involved, are you a human or a ghost? The premise of this game is that you cannot see whether the one on your hat is a ghost or a human, so for the three participants, their answers also have only three options: 1. I don't know; 2. I am a human; 3. I am a ghost."

"It seems to be the case." Liang Qu thought about it carefully and obviously came to his senses.

He is obviously not good at analyzing these things, what he is good at is solving problems with his fists.

"Then let me ask you, since they cannot see whether they are human or ghost, under what circumstances will they say 'I don't know', and under what circumstances will they be sure that 'I am a human' or 'I am a ghost'?"

Luo Xi asked Liang Qu a question.

The latter even slowed down the car because it required him to use his brain.

Otherwise, it is easy to drive directly into a ditch due to distraction.

"I can't think of it!" Liang Qu decided to concentrate on driving. He didn't want to rack his brains. Besides, he had already asked Luo Xi for help, so he might as well not think about anything and just listen to Luo Xi's arrangements.

On the other end of the phone, Luo Xi sighed: "Liang Qu, you have to figure it out by yourself, because the first two levels are not the key, the last one is. Even if I help you and tell you the correct answer, how can you deal with the third question alone?"

This time, Liang Qu finally took it seriously.

He immediately slowed down the car, stopped in the emergency lane, and turned on the vehicle's double flash lights. Luo Xi was right. This time, he was the only one who could solve the problem. Luo Xi could only provide him with some help in thinking, and make some advance predictions and reminders.

"Let me think about it." Liang Qu thought carefully, and then his eyes lit up: "If it were me, my answer would definitely be based on the fact that I could see the 'words' on the other two people's heads. Similarly, their answers should be the same."

"Yes, the answers of the two people other than you are the key to solving the problem." Luo Xi praised: "In the case of answering 'I don't know', it corresponds to the first and second of the three possibilities I mentioned before, that is, all three people are people, or two people and one ghost. In the first case, what you see in each other are all 'people', that is to say, you can confirm the identities of the other two people, but you cannot be sure whether it is a person or a ghost above your head, so you can only answer 'I don't know'; similarly, if there are two people and one ghost, the identities of the other two people you see may be two people, or it may be one person and one ghost. Similarly, it is impossible to determine in this case."

"In that case, only the last possibility can be confirmed? That is, 1 person and 2 ghosts?" Liang Qu asked hurriedly.

"That's not the case. You have to know that you are the only real player in this game, and everyone else is just a cooperating character. So, you must be the last one to answer, and your answer must refer to the answers of the two previous people, because they can see whether the one on your head is a human or a ghost. If the rules of the game do not allow everyone to lie, then you can indeed know whether you are a human or a ghost through this gameplay, but you need to think about this logical relationship yourself. If you don't know when prompted to this situation, then I can't help you."

Luo Xi said it very clearly.

Hints are hints, guidance is guidance, but the one who really needs to solve the problem is Liang Qu himself.

Only when he has figured out this logical relationship can he answer the third random question.

Luo Xi has roughly deduced the type of the third question through the first two questions. He will tell Liang Qu the "formula" he has summarized and let Liang Qu apply it himself.

But even so, Luo Xi was not sure whether he could pass the third question.

By changing Liang Qu's identity to Ke Lan, Luo Xi was sure that Ke Lan could complete the game without his help.

If it were Fatty Qian, after following these hints, he could also pass the level.

But it was really difficult for Luo Xi to predict what Liang Qu would say.

If we have to give a probability, maybe there is only a 50% chance, which is not even enough.

However, this is the limit of what Luo Xi can do at the moment.

Again, in the scene, Liang Qu couldn't call himself for help on the spot, so he had to rely on himself for everything.

This time, Liang Qu thought for a long time.

Luo Xi thought about it and gave another hint: "You need to use the technique of hypothesis. Remember, the technique of hypothesis is the key to solving most logical problems."

"Hypothetically?" Liang Qu finally figured out the key after smoking two full cigarettes.

"I see, Luo Xi, I see, haha, because the other two people can see me, if the rules say that lying is not allowed, then I can use the assumptions and the other party's answers to deduce the answer."

"I am either a human or a ghost. Assuming I am a ghost, then the other two can see a ghost and a human. Only in this way can they meet the condition that they cannot be sure whether they are a human or a ghost. The answer given by the other party is the key clue for me."

"Because if one of them answers 'I don't know', then one of me and the other person must be a human. And if I am a ghost, then the other person must be a human. So, according to this logic, the other person can be sure that he is a human, so he will answer that he is a human. If so, the assumption that I am a ghost can be established. Otherwise, I am not a ghost, but a human."

"That's right, so the key to this question is to assume the possibilities and pay attention to the answers of the other two people." Luo Xi also breathed a sigh of relief.

To him, this logical relationship is as simple as 1+1, but it is not easy to teach others what he thinks is simple.

Mastering knowledge and imparting knowledge are two completely different things.

Fortunately, through guidance and reminders, Liang Qu solved this problem.

"The most critical part of the game is the third question. Although I have never participated in the Disaster Star game, I can roughly guess the scope of the third question through your description and the first two questions. Because the final result of this game leads to two possibilities. One is that the player fails to pass the level and causes a disaster; the other is that the player succeeds and prevents the disaster. So this third question is likely to be a multiple-choice question, and you don't need to think about how to answer the process of making a choice."

"I, I don't understand." Liang Qu was stunned.

Luo Xi put it more bluntly: "The final multiple-choice questions are either win or lose. Since I don't know the specific questions, I can't help you answer them, but I can give you a suggestion."

"What suggestions?" Liang Qu felt his heart pounding and he was very nervous at this moment.

"Don't think about it, just make your choice instinctively. In other words, just try your luck. If you have a card that can increase your luck, you can use it at this time."
