Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

Everyone looked at Lucifer with bright eyes.

"Please! Please help us! Can you come up with some riddles, or continue what you said?" Chapter 9 and 6 Brain Teasers and Thought Experiments Since Lucifer made suggestions, he naturally did it himself preparation on.

However, because the riddle is very different from the culture of the earth, many word guessing puzzles and cultural-related ones cannot be used, and the scope is suddenly much smaller. Lucifer thought for a while and decided to come up with a brain teaser.

For example... "Today is the Thanksgiving Day. Little A went out to join in the fun, but found that there was no one on the street. Why?" Lucifer gave an example to others, and then explained the characteristics of this kind of puzzle: "Don't start from Common sense infers that this is a text trap. Once you have mastered the skills, you can come up with your own questions.

"The big guys were lost in thought.

"He remembered the time wrong...?" Alexandre Dumas asked uncertainly.

Lucifer shook his head.

Miss Hugo also guessed: "Is that because he is dreaming?" Lucifer continued to shake his head.

Edgar Allan Poe had an idea: "Is it because... there are not half a person on the street, but only one person?" Lucifer smiled rarely and nodded: "Congratulations, you got the answer right.

” Others suddenly realized.

"It's a puzzle that feels like this!" Pushkin exclaimed, "I feel like I've got the trick... There's still a lot of space left, can you come up with more?" So Lucifer did as they wished, and then gave another one They piled up questions that people on earth are tired of seeing, such as "What questions can you ask anyone and the answer is no?" and "What things get dirtier the more they are washed?" and then let them learn to come up with their own questions.

It's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. You can't come to him again if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, right? A group of people who were originally worried about Andersen's failure to submit the manuscript no longer cared and began to enthusiastically discuss these brain teasers and how to come up with their own questions.

While they were discussing, Lucifer was looking through the manuscripts sent and found that the quality had really improved significantly compared to the beginning.

At first, you may not know what to write about, but now that your imagination has been opened up, you are no longer limited to adventure and daily themes. You can even imagine that there are people living underground and people living in the sea. Ordinary people mistakenly go underground or into the deep sea. stories also emerged.

Although the plot is still a bit blunt, in the eyes of people in this world, it is already a great idea. Looking at the comments from the editorial team of "I Go, I Go", it is obvious that I am very optimistic about this person - oh, the signature is Verne.

That's okay.

But didn’t Verne say that he would come to the Garden of Eden to see the steam engine, and then write an essay on “The city I will live in a hundred years from now”? Why do you still have time to write other novels... This is the legendary thing. When inspiration comes, you can't stop it! ? Lucifer admires this greatly and hopes this will continue.

As he flipped through the pages, Lucifer pulled out the insights about life written by Hegel and Montaigne that Pushkin had mentioned before.

He took a rough look at it and found that he was probably worried that the writing was too obscure and other people would not be able to read it. The writings written by these two people were quite easy to understand, so that even people who were not interested in stories without stories would still be able to tolerate it. Keep reading and get some insights.

At this time, the literature group next to them also discussed some brain-teaser questions. They even decided to publish the answers to these questions in the next issue. Only the questions will be included in this issue. Drive reader stickiness.

However, for typesetting, they had to listen to Lucifer's explanation of how many words the remaining part would take up, so that they could determine how many questions they needed.

"Sage, when you say continuation, do you mean that we write half of the story and then let others write the rest?" Alexandre Dumas asked: "This is a bit restrictive. People who are really willing to write are better than simply reading. There are far fewer people who want to read stories, so this method is a bit useless for people who just want to read stories.

" Lucifer had just said it casually before, but he was quite happy to find that they would think independently instead of just accepting what he said. "What do you think? "I think it would be best if most people can participate..." Alexandre Dumas said sheepishly, "That's what I said, but I can't think of anything at the moment."

"Hmm...I understand."

"Lucifer thought for a while and said, "Then let's discuss a more controversial topic.

Others said blankly: "The more controversial one?" Steam engine? " Lucifer coughed: "Don't mention this, wait until everyone feels the benefits... For example, it is..." Lucifer originally wanted to give a moral dilemma similar to the trolley problem, but then he thought about it. , feeling that it might be a little too exciting for this simple world, so he changed the title to "Ship of Theseus".

"In one city, in order to commemorate a man named...well, Jack who led others to the sea, the boat they took was left as a souvenir. However, wood is easy to damage, and the broken parts will be replaced by good ones, so The question is, if all the parts of this ship are replaced, will it still be the same ship?" As soon as this classic thought experiment on earth appeared, people in this world were immediately shocked.

"This... although it seems a bit strange, it still feels like that ship?" Alexandre Dumas said hesitantly.

Pushkin also nodded and said: "After all, there's nothing you can do about it if it's broken. If you want to commemorate it, it must be repaired.

"Miss Hugo hesitated to speak.

So Lucifer asked the next question: "If the replaced parts are assembled into the same ship, which ship is the real Jack's ship?" At this time, even the man who had just spoken in support of the new ship Pushkin and Alexandre Dumas also fell silent. "...It should be that the ship assembled from the replaced parts is the real Jack's ship, right? After all, this is the original thing, isn't it?" Miss Hugo said uncertainly .

Poe shook his head: "But until the last part is replaced, everyone should think of the new ship as Jack's ship, right?" "It's not accurate to say it's the last part.

"Pushkin said distressedly, "Maybe when the replacement exceeds 50%, we should consider this issue.

" Alexandre Dumas looked troubled: "I don't think something is right about this question..." It was probably the first time that they encountered this kind of question that seemed to make sense, and they discussed it for a long time without coming up with a result.

In the end, Dumas looked at the time and chose to stop.

"Okay, I understand what this question is about... We can't come up with the correct answer after discussing it for a while, and we can't even tell whether there is a correct answer. That's why we have to put this question into our In the newspaper, it aroused everyone's discussion - the threshold is low, even people who can't write can participate as long as they can think. Presumably as a serial to fill in the Andersen, the voice of protest will not be too loud.

” Others agreed.

Lucifer was also satisfied.

Yes, continuation is nothing. Let people in this world use their brains more and learn to think independently. This is what he should really think of to promote now.

Let's start with a topic like "Ship of Theseus", and then release some cases based on the church's divine punishment records, and let them discuss the punishment that should be received in this situation, and roughly what level of punishment is not excessive... like this I don’t know how long it will take before legislation can be put on the agenda.
