Chapter 463: Mind Game
"National Treasure" Issue 9, Strategy Chapter.

This episode has many puzzle games designed. The Japanese are very good at designing such strange games.

For example, "Alice in Borderland" and "Gambling Apocalypse" have various simple and interesting games.

However, the protagonists of the TV series are too smart, or it can be said that the original intention of the screenwriter in designing the game is to let the protagonist show his or her wisdom.

Therefore, the protagonists can always find the only way to win, turning the tide in desperate situations and making the audience excited.

After Su Zhe personally participated, he found that he could understand the rules of the game in a short period of time and think of some winning strategies. However, even if he was very good, it was difficult to find a sure-fire way to win.

What's more, other stars of the Huaxia team, such as Li Daoqiang and Yu Haohua, these two big fools can misunderstand the rules, play in a mess, and give away points crazily.

On the other hand, the Japanese team, for some reason, understood the rules very quickly, no one fell behind, and they even had highlights from time to time and came up with amazing ideas for winning.

Su Zhe, with a bunch of stupid teammates, faced a united and powerful opponent. After struggling hard, they could only lose the game helplessly.

As a result, the Japanese team led the Chinese team 3:0 and was only one game away from sweeping Su Zhe!

At this point, the Chinese team had already lost the overall score, but the last game was a game to save face.

This made Li Daoqiang very ashamed:
"Su Zhe, I'm holding you back. I'll do whatever you say. I won't return home empty-handed."

Then you improve your IQ...

Su Zhe did not force anyone to do anything, and smiled:
"This is the team's responsibility. I am the captain, and I didn't think of a way to win. The responsibility lies solely with me."

He never shirks responsibility, even if he is scolded by some haters, he will not let his teammates take the responsibility.

After all, these good friends came to participate in this variety show that is easy to be criticized just for his sake.

An Ling'er looked at him with a smile, thinking to herself:

So manly! You are worthy of being my man!

Yu Haohua said confidently:

"I don't believe that all celebrities living a simple life are so smart! The program crew must have leaked the questions to them."

Su Zhe actually suspected the same thing, but without any evidence, speaking out would seem like he was expressing his incompetent rage and accusing his opponent, so he didn't say much.

But Yu Haohua's guess resonated with everyone, and they all said:
"Yeah, how come they can play as soon as they hear the rules and can think of solutions right away?"

"We are all entertainers, why are we pretending to be academic masters?"

"Variety shows all have scripts. When I participated in a variety show in China, the production team told me in advance how to stand out."

"But the production team only told the Japanese stars and not us. Isn't that a shady deal? It's so unfair!"

But speculation cannot be used as evidence, and it would be even worse if I quit the recording now.

The team members understood, so they could only look at Su Zhe expectantly:
"Captain, the production team said that the fourth game is a solo battle. You don't need to bring us along as a burden. It's all up to you!"

Su Zhe smiled helplessly. If the production team really leaked the questions to the Japanese team, it would be difficult for that team to win the individual battle.

He didn't say anything grandiose, just listened to the program team announce the rules.

But what no one expected was that the program team did not announce the rules, but instead invited 10 amateurs to make the following requirements:

"Each guest has one hour to communicate with the 10 amateurs and ask questions. The rules will be announced after the time is up."

The members of the Huaxia team were all confused and didn't understand what this meant.

The members of the Japanese team were also confused and looked at a loss. They didn’t know whether it was because of their good acting skills or because the program production team did not reveal the last question to them.

Everyone asked the amateurs various questions in confusion, without any clue.

The situation is more difficult for the Chinese team members because they have to use an interpreter to communicate with ordinary people.

Only Su Zhe understands Japanese, and he knows that he can only rely on himself in this game.

He was very skeptical. In this game, he should ask ordinary people questions and then answer them to test their memory.

This is exactly his strong point!
So instead of asking yourself, it is better to listen carefully to everyone's questions and answers and keep them in mind.

So Su Zhe took a deep breath and did not ask any questions. Instead, he put down his notebook and pen and listened to everyone's conversation.

"What's your name? When is your birthday?"

"Are you married? Who are your family members?"

"What's your favorite color? What celebrity do you admire? What sport do you excel in?"

"you……"

With his extraordinary memory, all the information poured into Su Zhe's brain frantically.

He pressed his temples silently, standing out like a sculpture in the noisy recording studio.

The Chinese players didn't dare to disturb him, and the Japanese players were happy to see him "playing badly".

The production team preferred this kind of program effect. The camera kept capturing Su Zhe's thoughtful expression. The director even planned to add subtitles in the later stage.

[Captain Huaxia gave up early]

Finally, an hour later, the production team announced the rules of the game:

"The name of this game is - 5 to 5!"

"Please ask the guests to ask a question that can only be answered with yes or no, so that the answers of the 10 amateurs are exactly 5 yes and 5 no!"

"The answer board is limited in length, so we cannot list all the information of the guests one by one to ask questions."

(Otherwise, just ask "Is your name xxx, xxx..." and write down five names.)
The guests then suddenly realized what was going on. No wonder they had to reserve an hour to ask the amateurs all kinds of questions.

But the answer has to be exactly 5 to 5, which tests the guests' choice of angle in questioning.

They picked up their notebooks and frantically sorted through the information they had recorded.

Some people's notebooks are so messy that they are difficult to find.

Some people also make tables in advance, recording the answers of different amateurs to the same question. This makes it easy to see the problem at a glance.

But Su Zhe's notebook was empty and contained no records.

But he has to be the first to appear.

On the way to answer the questions, the program team asked him:
"Su Zhe, why didn't you write it down in your notebook or even ask any questions? Did you give up in advance?"

Su Zhe pointed at his head towards the camera:

"Just make sure your mind isn't empty."

Su Zhe arrived at the quiz site and found that it was closed to prevent other guests from copying questions.

He glanced at the amateurs present at the scene and found that there were 6 men and 4 women. It was impossible for the program team to leave a question that would be easy to get points.

But one of the men had long hair!
Su Zhe immediately wrote on the answer board:

"Do you have long hair?"

After writing it, he hesitated and changed it to "Is your hair longer than your shoulders?"

In case some ordinary people have a different definition of long hair than he does.

After all, the key to this game is the subjective answers of amateurs, not objective facts!
After Su Zhe showed the answer board, the amateurs immediately gave their answers -

5 yeses, 5 nos!

Score a point!
"Congratulations Su Zhe, please ask the second question."

Su Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, and with an idea in mind, he changed the question to "Is your hair shorter than your shoulders?"

Unfortunately, the program team said that this is the same question and it cannot be repeated.

Su Zhe shrugged. In fact, he was just testing the waters. If the program crew allowed it, there would be so many word games that could be used.

He continued to observe the amateurs sitting in different postures and asked the second question:
"Is one of your legs on top of the other?"

That is, crossing one's legs, and he still described it in a precise way.

Obviously, there is no possibility of error in this type of on-site observation problem.

Two points!
The third question was easy for Su Zhe: "Did you look back at me when I walked in?"

Even ordinary people thought about this question for a while before slowly giving the answer - 5 to 5!

Three points!
The show crew was shocked:

"Su Zhe, when you first came in, you didn't know the rules of the game, but you actually observed the actions of the amateurs?"

Su Zhe shrugged with a calm expression:
"Your observation skills are pretty good."

Su Zhe answered all three questions correctly and returned to his room. The program team continued to interview him on the way:
"I never expected that you could get full marks in just one hour without asking any questions and relying solely on on-site observation."

Su Zhe deliberately spread his hands:

"Maybe your game is too simple and you left it too long."

However, after he returned to his room, he waited for a long time before the other guests finished their questions.

In order to prevent each other from copying questions, the guests' questions were kept confidential, and Su Zhe did not know what questions they asked.

The program team only announced the final result——

Su Zhe: 3 points

Kenji Sagara: 3 points

……2 minutes

Gong Man, An Ling'er: 1 point

Yu Haohua, Li Daoqiang: 0 points

Su Zhe:......

As expected.

All the members of the Huaxia team were eliminated except Su Zhe.

Su Zhe, Kenji Sagara and a Japanese guest entered the second round.

Although the members of the Chinese team were eliminated, they also felt relieved.

The program team showed them the questions asked by the top three guests. They could understand the questions asked by the two Japanese guests, but Su Zhe's question really impressed them.

Li Daoqiang was stunned:
"Su Zhe didn't say a word, and he was able to answer correctly just by observing the scene?"

Yu Haohua covered his face helplessly:
"I asked so seriously, but it's not as good as Su Zhe's casual glance? It's just like a top student who can get full marks if he just reviews casually before the exam, but I still fail if I review seriously!"

Gong Man and An Ling'er laughed at the side, and An Ling'er said helplessly:
"I also answered one question correctly based on on-site observation. You guys should use your brains."

Yu Haohua: "What is a brain? I don't have that thing!"

Li Daoqiang spread his hands and said, "I do have one, it's brand new and unopened."

Everyone laughed. Now that Su Zhe was the only one left in the Huaxia team, they were more confident.

No one was holding Su Zhe back anymore.

“But the question is, can we raise three more questions based on on-site observation?”

It really works.

Su Zhe's subsequent performance stunned everyone.

At the scene, Su Zhe indeed did not find the 5:5 feature, but he could combine the problems.

There are a total of 4 female amateurs on the scene, and if we find a special male amateur, we can form a 5:5 team.

In fact, this is essentially the same as the long hair issue, that is, there are 4 female amateurs plus the only male amateur with long hair.

So, the show began——

"Are you a woman, or do you have a tattoo on your wrist?"

“Are you a woman, or do you wear round glasses?”

"Are you a woman, or are you wearing a floral shirt?"

Su Zhe, six points!

"Is it possible to do this?" The guests felt like the president sitting in a convertible - their minds were opened up and Su Zhe opened up a source of inspiration.

"I can keep asking questions like this!"

"Oh my god, Su Zhe has discovered the secret weapon to win the game. He can ask questions until the end of time."

"Yeah! The captain is sure to win!"

"No wonder the captain didn't learn any information about the amateur for an hour. It turns out he can win just by observation. He is really worthy of it."

"Haha, so what if we give them an hour? We'll still win! This is how powerful the captain is without any burden to hold him back!"

A group of "burdens" were proud and complacent.

The Japanese guests who had been eliminated were even more stunned. They had never expected this solution and kept asking the program team:
"Is this okay?"

“Isn’t this in line with the original intention of the game?”

"The game is about intelligence gathering ability, how did it become a word game?"

"protest!"

After the second round, Su Zhe and Sagara Kenji both scored six points and entered the third round - the deciding game - as final opponents.

However, Kenji Sagara used the most conventional method, asking for everyone's information, finding the right angle, and asking 5:5 questions.

But the information will run out sooner or later, but Su Zhe's "4 women + 1 man" strategy can be used endlessly.

The simplest one is "Are you a woman, or are your name XXX?", which can be used five times!
"Are you a woman, or is your birthday in xxx?" Five times!

There are also different clothes, shoes, pants, body features... With Su Zhe's observation skills, this question can be said to be endless.

So much so that before the third round began, the production team had to announce:
"Su Zhe, stop using the 4 women + 1 man question. This question tests your intelligence gathering ability, not your brain teaser. Intelligence gathering is very important on the battlefield."

The program team found a good excuse. After all, the games in this show are all designed around ancient battlefields.

This 5 vs 5 game is linked to intelligence gathering, which does make sense.

But the members of the Huaxia team were all furious and shouted:
"Since the rules of the game have been announced, why are you changing them? The captain asked about long hair and short hair before, and you said they were the same question, but now that you've found a sure-fire way to win, you're also going to ban it?"

"Shady deal! Withdraw from the competition!"

The Chinese team members were all very excited, and the production crew was also having a headache. Who told them not to think of this game bug in advance?
If the Japanese guests had thought of this, they would definitely not forbid it. Instead, they would praise him for being so smart and for finding a sure-fire way to win, saying that he deserved to win.

But when they were found by Su Zhe, they became righteous and stern, became extremely respectful of the rules of the game, and were determined to fix the game bugs. They even said that not getting the points back was considered tolerant and generous.

Hasn't China always been like this in the international arena?

Su Zhe smiled, but was very calm, and asked the program team:
"Only ban this type of questions? Don't ask me other questions, you are going to ban them too?"

The program team swore that it would not happen and believed that Su Zhe would not find a new bug.

Unexpectedly, Su Zhe was possessed by Yongzheng, specializing in treating bugs (Eighth Prince):
"Then my third question is - are you a man and your name is not xxx?"

The program crew was dumbfounded, and the guests were also dumbfounded.

This is called the "6 men - 1 man" strategy, which is actually the same as the "4 women + 1 man" strategy!
But it's really different.

"Hahaha! The captain is amazing."

"As expected of the top scorer in the college entrance examination, his logical ability is so strong!"

"Is it still forbidden to have a little day?"

"This question is ever-changing and endless!"

"Captain is awesome!"
