"Details determine the reality of the world." - Card chess player.

"What is truth? What is false?" - Playwright.

"Let's see who can tell the difference." - The Master.

The man dressed as a doctor held a pen and paper, looked at Wu Hui and asked, "Are you okay? Do you need a rest?"

Wu Hui was about to observe again, but he heard himself suddenly open his mouth: "Um, what were we talking about just now?"

This voice...and my own body...don't even feel like my own. But his tone is a bit like Du Ziming. What's the situation with the settings?

"You mentioned just now that Wu Hui and Du Ziming participated in the final round of the intelligence championship. What happened next?" the doctor asked.

"I, I don't remember..." Wu Hui hadn't moved yet, but his body was already acting like he had a headache. He also seems to have control over his body, but it would be better to watch him perform on his own now.

Now that he was more and more certain that it was Du Ziming who was currently controlling his body, he had two options. One was to actively communicate with him, or to remain on the sidelines. Hiding in the dark might be an advantage.

The setting of this game is that the two of us are squeezed into the body of the same mental patient?

Du Ziming's ability to talk and act was superb, and he quickly extracted basic information from the doctor. According to the setting, their name is Wu Ziming, who has split personality and paranoia. At the same time, he is a world-famous mathematician, sociologist, and philosopher.

Well... everyone is used to this kind of crazy people. Everyone doesn't see anything wrong with this.

It should be said that thanks to many literary and artistic creators who like to write about the fine line between genius and madness. Thanks also to Nietzsche who went crazy, and Hemingway who was actually being followed but was mistaken for persecutory paranoia.

According to the information extracted from the doctor, Wu Ziming is a person who often falls into fantasy. Think of yourself as a player in another world. Participate in the devil's game in exchange for various rewards, as well as two personalities, Wu Hui and Du Ziming. These two personalities are often pitted against each other. And because of Wu Ziming's strong imagination and thinking ability, he can simulate an entire game in his mind without the need for other gambling games.

Wu Hui just listened and observed quietly the whole time. No sound was made.

But his eyes gathered quite a bit of information.

Communication with doctors is apparently a daily routine for a psychiatric patient. If you are rich, you can talk every day. If you are poor, you may only see a doctor every two or three days or even once a week.

So Wu Ziming quickly returned to his solitary ward. He's not a violent psychopath, and he won't hurt himself. So there were a lot of everyday items in the room, along with chalk and a blackboard and lots of scratch paper.

It seems that even if he is admitted to a mental hospital, many people hope that this great mathematician and philosopher can produce more results.

"Did you observe anything?" Wu Ziming asked in his room.

It was Du Ziming asking Wu Hui.

"Well, not yet." Wu Hui said: "But it seems that this is the setting of this game. We are trapped in the same body, playing two personalities. So we still need to cooperate for the time being."

"Don't worry, I won't rush to cause trouble." Du Ziming smiled: "Then prepare to escape from prison!"

Wu Hui: "It's best not to."

Because the risk of jailbreaking is really unknown, and if there is an active jailbreak and harm to others, their current monitoring measures will be significantly stricter.

And jailbreaking doesn't seem to help their condition at all.

As soon as the two had a disagreement, they suddenly found that the surrounding hospital was far away. Wu Hui said that this game is somewhat of a stream of consciousness.

"Hello two, meet again." The host suddenly turned on the lights in a pure black space. Du Ziming and Wu Hui stood on his left and right sides: "You just had some differences. You come here to compete. The winner can Gain full control of your body for a day."

"You need to bet your own chips on the confusion value. The current confusion value is one point for Wu Hui and two points for Du Ziming. The higher the confusion value, the closer you will be to the truth. The method of obtaining the confusion value is kept secret for the time being."

"What else about the rules?

What problem? "

Wu Hui looked at his body, dressed in hospital clothes, and then at Du Ziming: "No problem."

"It's no problem for me either." Du Ziming said.

"Then I will announce the method of betting. Whenever you have differences, you will come to this space. But you will not remember what happened in this space." The host continued: "The betting begins."

"There are ten grids here, numbered 1 to 10 respectively. Every time you place a confusion value, you can choose a mark in the grid."

"Only you know your mark. After the mark is completed, take turns to choose a grid to poke. Whoever marks the grid first will be deemed a failure. If there is a tie, both of them will get a point of confusion."

A very simple game of luck.

Wu Hui asked: "Do we rely on this method every time we decide the outcome?"

Host: "No, it's a random game every time."

"Okay, let's get started." Wu Hui said.

He knew that he was at a disadvantage in this round. Because I don't know why I only have one confusion value, but Du Ziming has two. And having more chips equals two chances in this simple game.

This is a probability question that can be tested. Generally speaking, it can be roughly understood that Du Ziming's winning rate is twice that of Wu Hui.

Of course this is not part of psychological warfare.

If there was psychological warfare, Wu Hui would probably be even more incapable of defeating Du Ziming. That's why he asked if it would be the same bet after that. Fortunately not.

The confused value as a bargaining chip doesn't look like a good thing.

Du Ziming smiled and said let's get started.

Wu Hui chose number seven, and then won the coin guessing game with Du Ziming, taking the lead.

It's a good thing to go first. If you're lucky, you have an 8/45 chance of guessing correctly. If the guess is correct, the two will stand on the same starting line.

But Wu Hui obviously didn't have that luck.

He started guessing from 5 and got it wrong.

It was Du Ziming's turn and he directly broke 10, which was also a mistake.

Now the actual probability of winning will be much greater. In addition, the probability of two people choosing the same grid (1/5) must also be considered. Only in that case can there be a draw.

With eight squares left, Wu Hui tapped the temples of his glasses and chose number three.

He was making purely random guesses, and he would definitely lose if he played psychological warfare with Du Ziming. Ignoring him, complete randomness is the situation with the highest winning rate.

Still missed. Du Ziming guessed 9, but he didn't win either.

That leaves 124,678. Wu Hui definitely couldn't guess his own, so he had a 4/15 chance of guessing correctly. Of course, if you guess one Du Ziming, there will be another one. And he loses as long as he is guessed once.

If Du Ziming guessed in order, it would take two rounds to guess him. So Wu Hui guessed...number 1.

bingo.

But it makes no sense. Because Du Ziming immediately chose number seven. Wu Hui lost the game. .
