It’s not uncommon for newspapers to have interesting Sudoku puzzles.
The Romanov Kingdom's "Contemporaries", "Mosk Daily" and "Daily Interesting News", which specializes in collecting aristocratic scandals and pornographic stories, will publish Sudoku questions or other fill-in-the-blank games in the second half of the newspapers to entertain the public. Relieve boring time.
Among all newspapers, the best-selling one is "Daily Interesting News". It was very popular as soon as it was published. The price was 2 kopecks and it could be sold out within half an hour. The main reason for its popularity was the news and short stories published in it. It's so exciting that it can be called a classic of gossip newspapers... It is rumored that the boss behind "Daily Fun" is King Paul I.
I traveled all over the central district and finally managed to buy a sufficient amount of old newspapers. Collecting these things is not difficult and the price is cheap. Usually a large box of old newspapers only costs 5 kopecks, which is the same price as waste paper. Taking one when going to the toilet can not only effectively block the odor, but can also be used as toilet paper, which is very versatile.
News that has expired is naturally worthless.
"Whoever solves the Sudoku puzzle in the newspaper can go to the Truth Church to receive a reward of 4 pounds of bread or 2 rubles!"
Lai Wen held a tin trumpet and walked through the streets shouting.
The reward of 4 pounds of bread or 2 rubles really tempted many people, but the literacy rate in the Romanov Kingdom was generally low, which also made many people shy away from the reward. Even so...
The tens of thousands of old newspapers prepared for the communication were distributed in less than an hour.
In the streets and alleys of Tyumen, you can see people holding short charcoal pens and old newspapers everywhere. They often frown and rack their brains to think about which number to fill in.
"The Indestructible King of the Great Village"
When the messenger returned to the church, he found that the Mawei people were discussing in front of a white cloth that looked like a flag.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
"Oh, you're back." Ma Wei glanced at him: "We are designing the flag of the Church of Truth. Just like the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, the Church of Truth must also have its own logo to strengthen the believers' sense of belonging."
Lai Wen was very interested in designing the flag and immediately got involved, "The flag of the Truth Church must represent the truth! How about embroidering a red rose flower?"
"No!" Dino immediately retorted: "If you embroider red roses on the flag of the Church of Truth, wouldn't it become a symbol of the Rose Phantom Thief? What's more, the flower language of red roses is passionate love. Who do you love? Doesn't this create ambiguity!"
Edward said: "The flag, since it is a flag, must show the majesty of the church so that people can remember it at a glance. It must use two bright colors to create a strong contrast, and it must also fully express the inclusiveness of the Church of Truth. ....The vampires reserve a spot first."
Edward gestured in the center of the white cloth and said: "For example, in this area, embroider an ancient castle, using white against black, it is grand and elegant, which is very reasonable."
"Why don't you embroider a cake!" Yunia jumped and said, "A big cream cake!"
"Then if you say so, the coat of arms of the Pluto Chamber of Commerce must also be added."
"Don't forget Salina, the goddess of happiness!" Christopher shouted: "We also have to have a place!"
"And Cat! Embroider my big brother's head on it, Meow!"
When Fat Orange heard this, he slapped Xiao Hei directly: "Why don't you embroider your head on it?"
Ma Wei: "......"
He felt that the topic seemed to have gone astray.
"Truth represents hope. What is the color of hope?" Ma Wei said softly: "It is red."
"The background color of the flag must be red, which is the blood flowing in our body. It is endless. As long as we are alive, there is hope."
"In addition, the pictures on the flag must be concise, clear, and full of power, so that people can understand the symbol of truth at a glance."
As he spoke, Ma Wei took out the flintlock musket from his waist and placed it in the center of the white cloth: "Technology represents geometric truth and is a symbol of power."
He took off the red star necklace from his neck and put it on the musket: "The stars represent spiritual truth, which is the food that each of us must follow. It also means that the truth is like the stars, always by our side."
"Stars and muskets are not enough..."
Ma Weidu muttered, and drew a semicircle on the white cloth with his fingertips: "The circle symbolizes rigorous logic, self-justification, but it must have a beginning and an end, so we use a semicircle. As for symbolic utensils... we can use representatives The sickle of workers, peasants and the proletariat.”
"This is not a good match!" the letter said: "It has a gun, a star and a sickle. How to place them?"
"It's very simple."
Mawei seemed to have thought about it a long time ago. He stacked the musket and the sickle crosswise to form an X shape, and then placed the star above the X: "The stars can be made of gold, which represents authority and light."
Speaking of logical truths, Mavey thought of Diloch Holmes who was far away in London. This was the person he had seen who was most consistent with logical truths so far. Unfortunately...
The other party has not yet agreed to join the Truth Church.
"Let's vote and decide." Ma Wei said: "This is the flag I designed. You can express whatever ideas you have. In the end, we will vote and decide."
"I guess there's no need to vote."
Salina said with a smile: "I like the flag you designed very much. If the stars represent humans, cats, vampires and other extraordinary creatures, the muskets and sickles clustered below all symbolize the people-oriented idea. The red background Color also represents hope, full of vitality and strength, so it is perfect to be used as the flag of truth.”
Selina glanced at the thoughtful Laiwen, Dino, Edward and others around her and asked, "What do you think?"
The authors looked at each other and finally nodded, expressing their approval of Ma Wei's design.
"Where's the egg...cake?" Yunia asked weakly.
"The cake is in your belly."
Ma Wei smiled and said: "I was eaten by you, wasn't I?"
"Yunia didn't eat cake today!"
"Then we can make one...wait a minute!" Ma Wei stared at her and said, "You didn't want to trick me into making a cake for you in this way from the beginning, did you?"
"No...no! How could it be!" Yunia tilted her head guiltily, her voice getting smaller and smaller: "Dad wanted to make it for me... Yunia didn't want it."
Mawei smiled and handed over the task of making the flag to Dino. Just as he was about to go out to buy some raw materials to make a cake for Yunia, he saw a lot of people gathered outside the church door.
Those people all held an old newspaper in their hands and stood at the door of the church to watch, as if they wanted to enter but dared not.
"Laiwen, why are you still standing there?"
Ma Wei narrowed his eyes and said: "Let them come in quickly. As long as the answers are correct, we will give out rewards as promised."
"clear!"
