At Bishop's, the dispute over the adjudicator continues.

Bernhard suddenly stood up and intervened, "Stop arguing. After all, no one is convinced by the other, so you are both a competitor. It is a waste of time to talk so much now. It will be up to you who gets more votes. Who does it, how about it?"

"I have no objection." Rene took a step back.

Si Lei looked at René coldly and expressed his compromise with silence.

Bernhard looked behind him, "Is there anyone else? Now it's just Officer Si Lei and Mr. Blomberg—"

Two more people raised their hands one after another.

"Four, are there any more?"

In the crowd, a hand was slowly raised. Unlike the way the two people had stretched their fingers before, the movement of this hand was obviously more hesitant - it was just raised above the head, and then lowered slightly.

Despite this, Hesta still noticed this change. She looked at the woman who tried to raise her hand, and felt that the other person's appearance was slightly familiar. She should have said a few words before...

"It's that person," Rico said softly, "the girl who was dining with us the day we first met Rene."

Hesta came to her senses - yes, it was her, the Rapunzel.

Today she had her hair all up, so she looked a little different.

After a while, Bernhard finally saw the hand raised and lowered, and he laughed: "That one over there, what do you mean by stroking your hand around there?"

The woman looked a little embarrassed, "...I also want to run for the 'Adjudator'."

"It's so hard to even raise your hands, so don't force yourself," Bernhard put his hands on his lower back and said in a teasing tone, "Seriously, unless the man in this room is dead, we won't let this person This kind of burden falls on the shoulders of a girl like you."

"...I want to run for 'Adjudication'!"

There was a burst of laughter in the restaurant - her voice broke with emotion.

Bernhard laughed even louder: "Don't get me wrong, I mean -"

"It turns out that the 'Arbitrator' has a rule that gives priority to men," Si Lei said coldly, "Until the man dies, women can't do it, right?"

Bernhard stopped smiling and turned back with some confusion: "I found that one or two of you really like to catch these words... Is it interesting?"

Si Lei raised his hand, "She raised her hand to get out of the queue."

"Okay, okay, count her among them," Bernhard spread his arms and made a helpless gesture, "Then please come up with a few of you. You can discuss the order, and then everyone will speak in turn."

Three people stood up from the crowd.

Hesta looked at the woman's back. She was slender, wearing high heels, a half-knee skirt, and a ring on her right little finger. When she turned around, Hesta could see her face clearly - her bright red face. The lips frame the porcelain cheeks, and their sophistication is unique in this restaurant.

Everyone's eyes were focused on these five people, and Bernhard also retreated, sitting on a chair in the dark and looking here.

The woman walked directly to Si Lei and said, "Thank you just now, officer."

"You're welcome, what do you call me?"

"Tasia."

"Okay, I think we'll draw lots." Rene was the first to speak to everyone, "One, two, three, four, five, whichever one is drawn counts. Each person will speak for five minutes. After speaking, everyone will vote. In the end, the one with the most votes will be chosen. Man automatically becomes the judge.”

Tasia turned back: "...It's best not to do so, as this cannot avoid the primacy effect and the recency effect."

Rene frowned, "What."

"To put it simply, the first and last speakers have an advantage over those who speak in the middle, because it is easier for the audience to remember them." Tasia explained while gesturing, "This is more effective for those in the queue. It’s not fair to the people in the middle.”

"What's unfair? It's all decided by drawing lots. No one can know in advance who gets the first and last place——"

"But if there is a better way, why do we have to accept the flaws of the system? Is random unfairness fair?"

Rene shook his head, "You always like to complicate simple things——"

"What do you propose?" Si Lei looked at Tasia.

"Well, I think we can vote immediately after the single person's speech is finished," Tasia said softly, "Because there are only five of us. Even if five rounds of voting are included, all the speeches can be finished in one hour. This time cost It’s not too high, and then—”

Rene choked, "I thought you had something to do... Isn't this still unfair to the person who spoke before? I listened to the first one and thought he was very good, but I'm worried that there will be better ones later. So I hold my vote and dare not vote——"

"Why don't you just listen to what I have to say?" Tasia's throat moved. She was a little nervous, but she still clenched her sleeves tightly. "The problem you are worried about does not exist, as long as everyone can vote again."

"Repeated voting," Rene said as if he was hearing a joke, "What do you mean, vote for one after listening to one? I like all five and vote for all five?"

"Yes, that's the theory. Even if someone realizes that there is indeed a best option among the five after listening to everyone's speech, it doesn't matter, because every vote she casts is for what she thinks Acceptable options. If all five candidates speak to her satisfaction, then she can indeed vote for all five.

"After five rounds of speeches, the person with the most votes will be the 'arbiter' that everyone is most satisfied with; if there is a tie, the same campaign can be held again among the tie-breakers... until the final victory is determined. By.

"I personally think this is the best way to avoid unfair ranking."

Si Lei thought for a while, "I agree with this, and I think voting still needs to be secretive."

"Oh, yes," Tasia nodded, "This can prevent voters from being influenced by others..."

"And the revenge afterwards." Si Lei added softly.

"How can it be anonymous? Everyone should be responsible for the candidates he votes for——"

"Shut up," Si Lei looked at René, "You know very well that the power of the 'adjudicator' will be far greater than that of ordinary passengers, right? After a person becomes an adjudicator, he may have various ways to embarrass and make things difficult for those who did not have it in the first place. The people who voted for him — you want to pull a list of those people?”

The corner of Rene's mouth sank slightly, "Don't put any blame on me... I just think the choices people make in a state of anonymity are not reliable enough."

"I agree, but it depends on the situation. Now we are choosing one person to guide everyone's next actions according to the "Guide". Everyone bears risks. Who would choose randomly in this situation?"

Si Lei's face darkened.

"Unless there is some near threat that is more immediate and more terrifying than the chelation in the distance."
