Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

"This is..." "This is called Sudoku, which means the numbers cannot be repeated.

"The sage said politely, but his tone sounded a little more cheerful than when he first greeted them.

"The rule is that each row, each column of the 'big grid', and each 3x3 'small grid' has a number from 1 to 9, and it cannot be repeated. If you solve it, you will be considered successful.

” So that’s it, this is [mathematical-related puzzles on the checkerboard].

Elder Billy frowned: "Have you done this kind of trial before?" "No, if you have collected intelligence, you should know that I often change the rules. After all, it is easy to find shortcuts to the same set of rules.

The sage who understood the censorship mechanism said unabashedly: "But the essence remains the same. So far, they are all for testing mathematical problems."

In fact, I have long planned to change the content of the trial, and I am reviewing it today, so I would like to ask you to help me see if I can use Sudoku in the future.

Bishop Gregory nodded slowly: "Well, if you plan to use Sudoku in the future, then this is within the rules, no problem, let's get started."

"The person who can become a bishop will naturally not be someone who hates learning, and his IQ is on the same level. This rule may sound very simple at first, but he can immediately realize the horror under the simplicity.

Seeing the disinterested expressions of the young priest and Elder Bill, Bishop Gregory shook his head secretly and looked at his paper with a deep heart.

Bill Forbes thought he was pretty good at mathematics, and he could still use the exhaustive method even if the rule didn't work. His mentality was relatively relaxed from the beginning, and he easily filled in a few numbers.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

Oops, if you fill in 7 here, it will be repeated vertically, but if you change it to 9, it will be repeated horizontally. The most troublesome thing is that there are no other numbers that can be changed in this 'small grid'. If you want to change it, you have to change the whole number. Revise, the front is all ruined... Elder Bill frowned and scrawled on the paper, and soon he was sweating. He was no longer as relaxed as he was at the beginning.

As for the young priest who might be partial to science and seemed to have given up on treatment, Wang Jian put down his pen and tilted his head to watch the other two solve the problem.

Lucifer smiled and watched the two old men who were serious about solving the problem getting into a hard fight. He was in a happy mood and took the initiative to bring another stack of paper over for them to use for calculations. Then he asked the scribe kindly: "Are you going to try again?" "?" The clerk shook his head: "I'm not good at this. It's a pity that I can't pass the test."

" Having said that, judging from his expression, he has no regrets at all and has no expectations for the so-called delicious food later. He is a standard church member. Even if he is not as rigid as Bishop Gregory, he still has the strictest requirements for himself.

Lucifer has no intention of continuing this liberal arts student. Mathematics is closely related to logical thinking. There is no need to continue if he has no idea. After all, there is a good joke: your partner may deceive you, your companion may betray you, but mathematics will not. , I just can’t do math... He took it out Standard Sudoku seems to have nothing to do with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and it has nothing to do with advanced calculus. But for difficult Sudoku, even if it is just a simple arrangement of numbers, in addition to your own strength, luck and inspiration are also necessary. For people in this world who are not good at mathematics In fact, it is no different from the simulation paper.

To put it simply, at this level of difficulty, it is no fun for non-Sudoku enthusiasts and it will 100% pass the review.

Sure enough, after a full hour, no one among the three people present had the answer.

Even Bishop Gregory couldn't help but ask: "Is there really an answer to this?" Is there really no wrong number? ! "Of course there is an answer, but it is the only one.

Lucifer was as happy as a test-writing teacher who wanted to sit down and watch the test paper. "It seems you still need time. Why not do this? You can continue to solve the problems here. You can discuss and find helpers. As long as you solve the problems, you can continue to solve them here." Just give out one copy.

” Everyone agreed to the proposal.

After a while, Lucifer's store was filled with people. It was the most people in the store at the same time since he opened the store.

The people who were called were not all from the church or Elder Bill, but people who thought they were good at mathematics and came to help through the church's call.

A group of people took the copied test questions and after understanding the rules, they started studying on their own - they were not familiar with Sudoku and could not discuss it at all, and each had their own ideas, so even if they came After so many people, in the end it became everyone doing their own thing.

Fortunately, after hitting a wall for a period of time, everyone was finally able to get the answers right, and then tried to eliminate the wrong answers... "I figured it out!!!" A voice crying with joy suppressed the buzz of all the discussions like a rock. sound and attracted everyone's attention.

Several people who had already solved the problem and solved the problem rushed over with red eyes and snatched the paper from that person.

"Let me take a look!" "I came first!" Lucifer said speechlessly: "Stop grabbing it, let me take a look first.

"With that said, the piece of paper flew into Lucifer's hands.

Of course... Lucifer did not recall how to use the spell. He was just too lazy to cook noodles due to the recent increase in customer traffic, so he decided to spend money to save trouble. He agreed to the [paid agent] of the alarm clock and stayed in the store during the payment period. You can just use the alarm clock to use spells.

Lucifer glanced at the numbers on the paper, and nodded slightly under the tense gaze of the crowd: "Yes, the answer is right."

"Oh oh oh oh!!!" Everyone cheered with tears in their eyes, which scared the passers-by outside.

In fact, solving the problem is not the problem, the problem is to constantly overturn the previous answer, and this feeling of futile is the worst.

Especially those who came later thought that they were good at math, but if they were all wrong a few times, even the most determined people would collapse a little, and then doubt whether they had no talent for math... And now, someone has solved it. Although it is not him, the comfort of having the problem solved still fills everyone's heart.

Many people put away the paper and copied the other two Sudoku, planning to go home and try again when their brains are calmer - those who solved it don't know how they solved it, and they are not even the best math people among them. According to them, they were just lucky at the beginning and got two numbers right, so if they work hard, there should be no problem.

Except for the person who solved the answer, no one else stayed, but hurriedly left the Apple store, seeming to be in a hurry, while the person who solved the answer, under the request of Bishop Gregory, waited for Lucifer to bring up the reward.

Elder Billy wiped his sweat and felt that his life was short.

He would never question whether this guy named Lucifer was a sage again. It was impossible for ordinary people to come up with such a novel and torturous thing.

What is this? He hasn't racked his brains so much in several years. Now he feels so tired, and a little hungry from overusing his brain. I hope the kid from the Einstein family didn't lie. The reward of this sage is really delicious.

He didn't even think about the audit at this time, he just wanted to eat delicious food quickly to fill his stomach.

However-the black-haired sage sat leisurely behind the counter reading a book, and the strange smell coming from the kitchen did not affect him at all.

This irritating smell became stronger and stronger. The four people waiting to taste it exchanged glances, and they all read uneasiness and slight fear from each other's eyes.
