Chapter 1093 Do You Think You Still Have a Chance?
"Oh?" The black butterfly mask raised an eyebrow and replied in a delicate voice, "What do you mean by that... specifically?"
"I'll explain to you the results of my 'observation' in the second round." Feng Bujue said, and stood up from the chair, "Now..."
He didn't finish his words, and quickly turned over a card. The next second, he looked down at the card, and then quickly turned over two cards of the same suit.
"Brother referee, report the score." Because his action was too fast, the referee was a little stunned, so Brother Jue reminded him.
"Uh... this... this gentleman scored three points, please continue to turn over the cards." The referee paused for a moment, and then hesitantly continued this sentence.
Before he finished speaking, Feng Bujue made another quick move, and in less than five seconds, he turned over another "1+2", still the same "phase" - score.
"Three... three points!" This time the referee's reaction also caught up, and he immediately reported, "Please continue..."
And Jue Ge's speed also increased again. Before the other party finished the second half of the sentence, he turned over three cards.
The result... was still the same.
In this way, Feng Bujue revealed the cards on the table one after another at a speed that seemed to be able to see through the back of the card, and the referee also cooperated and quickly reported the scores.
"Three points, please continue... three points, please continue..."
Even the players and referees at other tables were attracted by this almost uninterrupted announcement, and they all looked at it...
In less than two minutes, Feng Bujue scored 24 points in a row; even he himself felt that he was quite lucky in this round.
Perhaps some people would be surprised...In the first ten rounds, the "total number of flips" of the two people has reached 75 times. Even if the 15 cards that have already scored are removed, there should be 60 known cards. Among these 60 cards, there should be at least 30 cards that can be combined and scored, right?
Wrong!
First, the 15 scored cards taken away by Black Butterfly were almost all cards that had been "revealed more than twice", and among them... only one was taken away when it was "revealed for the first time". Because that card was an unknown card that she revealed in the first hand of a certain round, and she happened to remember clearly where the two cards that matched with that card were at that time.
In other words, among the cards she scored, 14 of them had occupied the 60 "flip times"...
Secondly. Among the other cards left on the table, there were also cards that were "repeatedly flipped" by Black Butterfly. Most of those cards were cards that she accidentally flipped when she tried to score but failed, and were located near the scoring cards.
In summary, at the beginning of this eleventh round, there were not 60 known cards left on the table. In fact... there were only more than 40 cards. Among these forty-odd cards, there are two "Infernal Hell" cards that were turned over by Jue Ge in the first round, and one "Pure Land of Bliss" that was turned over by Black Butterfly in the seventh round; therefore, there are only 9 "Three Phases Clear" cards that can be used to score directly.
Then the question arises again... Of course, this time the question is not "Why did Jue Ge only get 24 points", but "How did Jue Ge get 24 points"?
The situation is like this...
Since the first round of this game, Feng Bujue has never turned over the "known cards"; until this round, Jue Ge has turned over every round and every hand... All are unknown cards that have never been turned over. Even if two cards of the same suit as the card he turned over have appeared before, he will not go back to turn over those known cards to score... Just like what he did in the third round.
But in this eleventh round. His tactics... suddenly changed.
In the first two rounds of this round, he still adopted the offensive method of "flipping unknown cards in the first hand", but in these two times, after successfully flipping new cards with "two cards of the same suit that have been revealed", he chose to turn back to score; after taking 6 points in this way, he adopted the tactic of "not flipping unknown cards in the first hand" for the first time, and took away the "known 9 points" on the table instead...
Not to mention the hidden meaning behind his actions, at least in the eyes of Black Butterfly, what the opponent accomplished was - in just one round, he used consecutive points to equalize the score gap with himself.
This change... undoubtedly made Black Butterfly's heart waver.
However. This is not over yet...
Next, Feng Bujue adopted the strategy of "flipping unknown cards in the first hand" again, and succeeded three times again, raising the score to 24 points.
This situation. It also made Black Butterfly's wavering quickly turn into panic and fear...
"Do you think this is a bit incredible?" At this very appropriate time, Feng Bujue spoke.
"Heh..." Black Butterfly forced out a smile, "I wonder what Mr. Crow... used..."
"I didn't use any special methods." Feng Bujue seemed to be able to see through the other party's thoughts, interrupted Black Butterfly's words directly, and continued. "Everything that has happened so far is normal from the perspective of probability; in my opinion... it is very boring, because this can't be called 'gambling' at all, it's just a 'game' at most."
"How is this possible..." Black Butterfly finally couldn't help it, she put away her coquettish tone, and asked in a more normal tone and speed, "Can a normal person score 24 points in a game like this?"
"Heh... the 'normal people' you mentioned..." Feng Bujue laughed when he heard this, "Do you mean those people whose short-term memory is pitifully weak and whose observation ability is almost non-existent?" He paused for a second and continued, "Well... after you put it that way... the average level of modern people is roughly like this. Take Caucasians as an example - an adult's memory of a string of random decimal numbers is usually less than or equal to thirteen digits... this is still under the premise of consciously wanting to remember." He spread his hands and looked down at the table, "Like this triple neurasthenia game, there are 102 cards, and the patterns printed on the cards are still unfamiliar to most people. If two 'normal people' play it, I'm afraid they can't tell the winner after more than fifty rounds."
At this point, he changed the subject: "But... what I just said was 'normal at the probability level', I didn't say I was a 'normal person'." He paused for half a second and said arrogantly, "I... am a person who 'can clearly remember all the cards that have appeared' and 'knows which cards have not been revealed'."
Black Butterfly did not respond to this.
To be honest...if it was five minutes ago, she would never believe this, but now. She is half-believing and half-doubting.
"Don't quite believe it? It doesn't matter." Feng Bujue once again revealed what the other party was thinking, and continued on his own, "Listen to me..." He didn't wait for Black Butterfly to respond, and started to explain directly. "First of all, in the first ten rounds, I undoubtedly had a chance to score, such as the 'Voice Like a Brahma King'... Hehe... Speaking of which, do you really think that your coquettish gestures will work? Excuse me...even if your opponent is an incurable lecher. In such an important gamble that concerns the rest of his life, he will not be distracted by such factors."
"You mean...you deliberately didn't score at that time?" Black Butterfly continued.
"Of course." Feng Bujue replied, "When I turned over the first hand in the third round, there were only twelve cards on the table. Unless your **** has the special ability to erase other people's memories or eat up other people's IQ through the visual nerves, otherwise... even if it is the 'average white people', you can score in that round, right?"
"Hmph..." Black Butterfly could only snort coldly at Jue Ge's complaints. After all, in this matter... she had nothing to refute.
"Therefore, there is only one possibility that I don't score. That is-I don't want to score." Feng Bujue continued.
"Then what do you want to do?" Black Butterfly has already used an unfriendly tone.
"Observation." Feng Bujue replied concisely with two words, and then added, "Although I gave up the points that could be obtained in these ten rounds, I got valuable information-your thinking mode, the upper limit of memory ability, the style of duel, etc., I have basically mastered them."
"Hmph... Is that so?" Black Butterfly obviously didn't believe these two sentences of Jue Ge; even if she believed that Jue Ge had an extraordinary memory, she would not believe that he could see through her thoughts.
Black Butterfly entered the world of fame and fortune at the age of sixteen, and became a socialite at the age of twenty; she had been naive, fragile, and credulous, so she had been hurt, suffered, and regretted. This year she is thirty years old, and she has become strong, mature, and cold.
She doesn't even need this butterfly mask. Because she has already put on a mask that will never be removed; no one really knows what she is thinking, even if she takes off all her clothes in front of someone, she will not open her heart even a little bit.
"Whether it is true or not, you will know in the second round." Jue Ge continued. "For this first round... I will let you confirm my "memory ability" first..." As he spoke, he turned over another unknown card, "Well... It seems that my score in this round will end at 24." After seeing the card, he said so.
Black Butterfly glanced at the card and continued, "What's wrong? This card is not heaven or hell. If you remember everything, you should be able to get it..."
"It is precisely because I remember everything that I know this is not possible." Feng Bujue interrupted the other party rudely again and continued, "So far, among the cards that have been revealed on the table, excluding the Hell card and the Pure Land card, there are still six cards that can be "paired", that is, cards that have revealed "two phases"; and the others... are all suits that have only revealed "one phase".
"In this [Triple Neurasthenia] that requires "three colors of the same phase" to score, cards that have only revealed "one phase" are useless... just like the one I turned over now.
"Unless I turn over another unknown card of the same suit, I will not only not get any points, but also give you an extra pair of 'two-phase' scoring opportunities.
"Heh... Of course, the premise is that you have to remember the positions of those 'pairs' clearly..."
After that, he quickly turned over two unknown cards that had never been revealed, and ended his round.
"After saying so much..." Black Butterfly did not rush to turn over the cards this time, but asked, "You still haven't explained why you said that what you did in this round... 'It's normal in terms of probability'."
"It's very simple." Feng Bujue replied, "Think based on my 'clear memory of all the cards that have appeared', and you will understand...
“At the beginning of this round, I knew there were a total of nine ‘three-phase’ cards that could score directly, and sixteen… a total of eight pairs of ‘two-phase’ cards. Excluding the fifteen cards you took away and all the known cards, the probability of drawing a scoreable card from the remaining cards on the table is more than 20% - the probability of one card appearing after turning over five cards.
“In the first hand, I didn’t have to consider this probability at all; if I didn’t draw a card that could score, I just had to continue turning over the cards and observe you for another round. But the actual situation was that I successfully drew it… so I took the three points first.
“Then, I got the opportunity to turn over the cards in the second round. The first hand of this round was very critical. The probability basically did not change, but if I didn’t turn over a card that could score, I would have to give up.
“As a result, I turned over it again, and I dealt with another pair of ‘two-phase’ cards.
"From here on, I will no longer turn over new cards, but take 100% of the points that can be obtained, and collect all nine cards with 'three phases are clear', tying the score.
"After the tie... I was actually ready to stop scoring, because there are still six known pairs left, and after each unknown card that can be scored is turned over, the probability of turning over again will be much lower. I really don't have much confidence in this kind of luck-based situation...
"To my surprise, I finally succeeded in turning over three pairs, and at this time... the probability of turning over a scoreable card has been reduced to about 7%, from turning over five cards to turning over fourteen cards to turning over one card, and the result... is as you can see."
Hearing this, the lips of Black Butterfly that were not covered by the mask were trembling slightly. She was now sure of two things: first, she was a little behind her opponent's thinking; second, this feeling of being impressed probably meant that the other party's words "remembering all the cards that have been turned over and being able to calculate which cards have not been turned over" were true.
Pah-pah-pah-
"Okay... okay..." After a moment of silence, Black Butterfly raised her hands, applauded Brother Jue, and resumed her pretentious attitude, "Mr. Crow, I admit that your memory is better than mine, and I admire it deeply."
"Thank you." At this time, Feng Bujue had sat back in his chair, sipping champagne with a straw, and replied leisurely.
"It's just... you..." Black Butterfly smiled charmingly, "Are you a little too fond of showing off?" She leaned forward again, propped her elbow on the table, supported her chin with one hand, and showed off her benefits, "If you waited for a few more rounds in silence, only picked up some points appropriately, and then waited until the moment when both 'Pure Land of Bliss' became known cards, and raised the number of visible phases on the table to 'twenty-five phases' in one breath, and immediately turned over two Pure Land cards to turn defeat into victory... Then I, wouldn't I have no chance at all?"
"Oh?" Feng Bujue smiled playfully and replied, "You mean... Under the current situation, do you think you still have a chance?" (~^~)
