The Myth Returns: I Obtained the Bloodline of the Candle Dragon

In the square, Su Lin asked everyone to make a space for him. He used an iron breastplate to write on the ground and explain to everyone.

So, if we want to pass all levels, we must change our thinking, unite, and use the same box-opening plan.

Having said this, Su Lin raised his head and glanced at the prisoners present, Let me ask first. I don't mean to offend, but I want to know if any of you can't count?

No one stood up, so Su Lin smiled and said, That's good, we can continue.

He can summarize the optimal solution to this game and let everyone understand how to pass the level, but he has no time to teach the death row inmates how to count.

Sure enough, the tasks given by Shan Hai Game were not fatal. Otherwise, if there were fifty illiterate people here who couldn't understand numbers, and a few of them were mentally retarded, he would really be blinded.

He had already drawn a pattern on the ground. A total of ninety-six squares representing boxes were drawn in eight rows and twelve columns, and numbers from 1 to 96 were marked on them.

In order to make it easier for everyone to understand, I simply numbered the boxes. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the boxes are numbered or not. If not, everyone just needs to number them in their minds from left to right in the room.

Su Lin continued: My plan is this. After each of us enters the room, we start opening the box represented by our own number.

As he said that, he placed his sign on the pattern of box No. 39 on the ground, Suppose I get lucky and draw No. 39 directly, and it will pass naturally. If not, for example... well, I will draw No. 39. Number 8 came out.

He pointed to the number on Xiao Gang's chest, Then I can help Brother Xiao take it out, so Brother Xiao will pass.

The atmosphere at the scene became weird, and some people looked at Su Lin with dangerous eyes.

Su Lin spread his hands and said, Just kidding, brothers, don't be so nervous. Since it's a game, you should relax and play and have fun.

As a result, more strange looks came to the eyes. Many death row inmates felt that this fair and handsome young man was mentally abnormal. This was a game that related to his own life and death. How could he relax and play? Still having fun?

Su Lin changed the subject, turned his sign over and placed it on box No. 8, After No. 8 is opened, I will open Box No. 8. Assume Box No. 8 is opened...

He glanced at the badge of the girl who was squatting next to him and listening carefully, Well, let's go to No. 76, then we will open the box No. 76, and so on, until we find our own number.

What if we don't find it?

Some death row inmates couldn't help but ask.

Su Lin looked relaxed, Then it's a failure. Hurry up and start the next round again.

The three old strangers present, except Xiao Gang, all looked thoughtful at the application. They obviously didn't understand the meaning behind Su Lin's arrangement of this box-opening strategy. Xiao Gang felt his head was itchy and was too lazy to think about it.

Excuse me, are there any benefits to searching like this?

The male college student asked. He felt as if he had grasped something key, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Su Lin smiled mysteriously, Of course there is. Theoretically speaking, as long as our numbers meet certain conditions in the random allocation, then we will definitely be able to find our numbers.

Why?

The plain-looking female stranger asked, this is a matter related to her life. She must understand the principle and agree with the feasibility of this plan before she can believe Su Lin.

Su Lin was very familiar with it. Under the surprised look of the girl next to him, he stretched out his hand to her chest, and then grabbed... her nameplate, Lend it to me.

Then, before the male college student could react, he took his nameplate again and looked up at Xiao Gang.

Xiao Gang was very conscious. Although he still didn't know what Su Lin wanted to do, he cooperated and took off the name badge and handed it to Su Lin.

Su Lin placed Xiao Gang's name tag on box No. 8, Going back to the previous simulation, I opened No. 8 in Box 39, No. 76 in No. 8, and No. 44 in No. 76... …”

As he said that, he picked up his number again and put it in box No. 44. At this time, I opened my number in box No. 44, and I passed the level. What's interesting is that according to the instructions I opened the box, Zi Lun, the number in box No. 44 at this time points to the box where I originally started. Did you find anything?

A cycle has been achieved!

The male college student exclaimed, I understand. The advantage of this is that as long as your number is in the loop, the number pointing to the box you started to select must be your number!

Su Lin snapped his fingers, Bingdog.

Not to mention the death row prisoners, several strangers also looked confused. Xiao Gang asked: Brother Su, what should I do if my number is not in the cycle?

Su Lin smiled and said: Don't worry about this. In this game, if you open the box in the way I mentioned, there is only one possibility that your number will not be in the loop, and that is that your number will be placed in the loop. You can find it in the box with the corresponding number when you open the box for the first time.”

He raised his badge and drew connecting lines between the boxes on the ground. As long as the number you open the box for the first time does not match the number of the box, then the number plate in the box will inevitably point to the next box, and the next box will point to the next box. Pointing to the next box, this line segment can only end in one way, and that is to return to the original starting point, forming a loop.

Then if the newly opened box contains the corresponding number, wouldn't the cycle stop?

The girl asked timidly.

Su Lin cast a caring look at the other party, That's impossible, because the reason why you want to open a new box later is because the number corresponding to it has already been opened by you in the previous box.

The girl realized that she had asked a stupid question, and she blushed so much that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground.

So...as long as you select the box that corresponds to your number and open it in this order, your number must be in the cycle. I understand this, but there are many ways to randomly arrange the ninety-six boxes, in series. The cycle can be long or short. If you fail to reach the end of the cycle within the limited forty-eight opportunities to open the box, wouldn't it mean that you will not be able to find your number?

The female alien frowned and asked.

The words of the female stranger are also a question that many people who understand Su Lin's plan are thinking about. Su Lin's sequential unpacking plan is that you can only find your number at the end of the cycle. What if the cycle is too long?

Boy, you've been talking for a long time. At first glance, it sounds very interesting, but what kind of sure-win method is this? Depending on the length of the cycle, there is still a probability of losing. I feel that if I open half of the boxes randomly, the success rate is even higher, right?

A prisoner on death row shouted from behind, pointing out that Su Lin's approach was not a sure-win method at all.

Many death row inmates originally thought this plan was quite clever after they understood the principle of circulation. However, when the problem of the length of the circulation was pointed out, they realized that the number of times they could search was limited, and this was not a sure win at all. Law.

After this was pointed out, many death row inmates became a little impatient, and all kinds of voices came and went.

Everyone be quiet! My brother hasn't finished speaking yet!

Xiao Gang shouted, his tall figure and fierce muscles immediately intimidated many people.

Su Lin stood up and stretched. His legs felt a little numb after squatting for a long time. He put his hands on Xiao Gang's shoulders unceremoniously and said, Brother Xiao trusts me. This plan is indeed necessary. The way to win is, as long as everyone listens to me, you can go out today, and if you are fast, you may win on the first try.

He glanced at the death row prisoners present. He was not at all afraid of the eyes of these murderous men. Instead, he felt that Shanhai Game was an interesting place.

But it seems that the elder brothers are unwilling to cooperate without a clear explanation, so I will say a few more words.

Su Lin smiled and said, pointing to the pattern on the ground, In order to avoid it being too difficult to understand, I will explain it from the first grid by analogy.

He looked at the male college student as if he was teaching, Let me ask you, if we want to construct a cycle with a length of ninety-six and put ninety-six numbers into the first grid, how many options are there?
