I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain

There was silence in Shipwreck Bay Fortress.

Someone tried to accuse Tu Fu of this shameless practice that violated the industry.

But if you think about it carefully, you have already become pirates and there is no morality to speak of.

The literacy of pirates?

It doesn't mean that everything is used to the extreme, as long as the effect can be achieved, it doesn't matter what method is used.

Tu Fu explained this truth with facts.

Now, none of the candidates dared to talk anymore, for fear that someone who didn't pay attention would offend the other party and smash them to death with money.

The few big men sitting at the front all showed expressions of regret when they saw that the young pirates hadn't fought.

"Freyer, kill him here if you have the ability, and see how he will take revenge on you."

Vader of the Black Medan deliberately encouraged with a smirk.

Freire, who was caught in a dilemma, frowned. After calming down, he realized that this was an assessment. After all, he didn't dare to kill in front of the four big men.

Captain Vader, who was eating melons, saw that Freire was hesitant to do anything, and immediately felt dull, "Since he has no guts, why don't we continue with the second round of investigation."

After noticing Mingesa's eye gesture, Bellerman nodded his head: "If everyone has no objections, then the investigation will continue. The second round of questions will be given by Captain Ghost.

No matter who gets the answer, it will be published, and the one with the shortest time wins. "

There is a question from the ghost captain.

This simple sentence immediately caused an uproar.

Even the pirates who did not participate in the assessment showed embarrassing expressions.

"It was him who came up with the question?"

"Captain Ghost has always liked to use his wisdom to play with the rules, and he always likes to ask some unsolvable problems, so as to deceive others into working on his pirate ship for a hundred years."

"I rarely see anyone who can get cheap from him."

After all, he is a well-known figure. Captain Ghost's mysterious, sinister, and treacherous behavior has long spread to the ears of pirates.

How could the problem of this kind of role be simple.

The challenger's seed player, Captain Crow wearing a beak mask, took a step forward: "My lord, what if no one can answer your question."

"If you can't answer, you are just like this. When your strength and potential are exhausted, we will re-select someone more capable at sea to take this position."

Bellerman's ruthless words shattered the illusions of the dozen or so challengers present.

The world of piracy has always been like this, capable people can reach the sky in one step, and pirates with no strength and no background will be cleared within a few days of hopping on the sea.

"Anyway, I'm just here for fun, it doesn't matter if I can answer or not."

Tu Fu relaxed his mind. His purpose of coming here was already halfway through. To spread the news of what happened here, his reputation would once again spread across the oceans.

"Wow--"

In a blink of an eye, the ghostly flame that was burning on the seat and exuding cold air expanded in a circle, automatically forming a flame in the shape of a human being, and a set of exquisite uniform was exactly the one worn on the ghost ship.

However, the baggy clothes covered his body, and it was really hard to see what was inside. This person was exactly the one he saw in Tu Fu's monitoring.

The ghost captain's voice also seemed gloomy: "The second round of examination is now starting, pay attention to the questions.

Assume that in a robbery operation, five pirates got a hundred gold coins, and now they are faced with the problem of dividing the spoils. After discussion, they come up with a reasonable plan.

The gold coin distribution plan will be put forward in order of drawing lots. First, No. 1 will put forward the distribution plan, and then voted by five people. The plan can only be passed if half or more of the voters agree.

Otherwise, he will be thrown into the sea, and then continue to be distributed by the remaining pirates in order. No matter how many people are left, they must continue to follow the rules.

Let's say each pirate is a brilliant mind, extremely cunning, greedy, and sane, and doesn't want to let this get out of the way.

Based on this condition, what allocation scheme should pirate No. 1 use to ensure its own survival requirements and maximize its own allocation benefits. "

As soon as this troublesome question came out, the challengers who were full of confidence just now put on embarrassing faces.

Even if there is a pirate captain with a clear mind, he has to repeatedly game and dialectize in his mind to ensure that there will be no mistakes before he speaks out.

"Everyone can divide the 100 gold coins equally, so why make it so complicated."

Victor, who heard the question, muttered under his breath.

This made Miss Ouangba Winster look at him with caring and wisdom,

"Captain, this is a game-related problem. Even if pirate No. 1 divides the gold coin equally, he may still be cast by others. Every time one pirate is reduced, everyone will have an extra gold coin on hand.

The only thing Captain No. 1 can take advantage of is that the pirates behind must at least keep them alive,

Even if they have zero gold coins on hand. "

After all, she went to college, and the moment the smart Miss Winster heard the question, she began to calculate the optimal solution.

"So, this is a game of wooing and gambling."

Victor stroked his chin belatedly, his brain is not too stupid.

After Sophie sorted out the context of this question, she immediately realized the essence of the game.

How to distribute to satisfy everyone, the key lies in what captain No. 1 should do is to win over whom and alienate whom, and the key factor of whether to be close or not is the lottery number of each pirate.

Pirates in different positions have different natural advantages and disadvantages, and the No. 1 pirate must take all factors into consideration, and then strive for the maximum benefit for himself.

"Demon Hunter" Victor just thought about the deduction a little bit, and immediately decided to give up after knowing his limit. He still mumbled:

"It's really crazy. It's just deliberately embarrassing others. How can such a question be answered in a short time?"

The same way of thinking is also spreading in the minds of the most elite and powerful pirate captains in the five seas. It doesn't seem to be the so-called optimal solution whether to distribute evenly or monopolize the majority, or even give up all the shares.

The No. 1 position is inherently the most sensitive and dangerous, and it is necessary to obtain the best distribution of benefits.

There is absolutely no chance of winning.

There was no sound in the castle,

And the ghost captain who asked this question looked at the frowning pirates, and let out a light and triumphant laugh,

It seemed that torturing the pirates with this kind of question, who couldn't get a brain out of three of them, was a very pleasant thing for him.

In the past, he used the same method to deceive batch after batch of boarders.

Until a slight sigh appeared in the hall, breaking the silence.

"My God, if I were the person in charge of the Weddell Sea, the first thing I would do would be to improve the IQ of the pirates in this sea area, and then open a university, so that you will not drag down my IQ.

If you guys were in my hometown, they would be called the fish that slipped through the net of compulsory education. "

The arrogant words of mourning his misfortune and angering his indisputable anger immediately angered the pirates who were still thinking hard.

It's hard to have your wisdom questioned.

No one who speaks in this tone dare to be so arrogant except Tu Fu, a bastard.

"Answer if you know, don't put on a show here." Freire of the Heart Pirates retorted angrily, "An annoying guy like you should be the first person to be cast to death."

After "Sharpshooter" Bellerman heard his tone of voice, he just let out a soft sigh: "So what's your answer?"

"97 gold coins. Pirate No. 1 can get up to 97 gold coins."

Tu Fu looked directly into the ghost captain's empty eyes and gave his answer.

As soon as this outrageous answer came out, there was another burst of shouting and laughter in the venue, and all kinds of ridicule came in response. No one thought that he could give such a ridiculous answer.

The ghost captain sitting in the front seat asked calmly, "What is your distribution method?"

"Pirate No. 1 has 97 coins, Pirate No. 2 has 0 coins, Pirate No. 3 has 1 coin, one of Pirate No. 4 or Pirate 5 is assigned 2 coins, and the remaining one is 0 coins."

Tu Fu gave the final answer with a smile.

The audience fell silent, and all the pirates looked directly at the ghost captain and waited for his judgment.

But the captain, who has always been known for being mysterious and deceitful, nodded slowly this time, signifying his approval of the answer he gave, but he still asked unwillingly:

"Unbelievable, how did you figure it out in such a short period of time?"

"You don't need any calculations, you just need to reverse your original thinking." Tu Fu said easily.

He sighed secretly in his heart:

"Fortunately, I took a game science course in college, otherwise I would have been stumped."

This is a very interesting classic game and economics problem, so when you think about it, you need to change your thinking mode,

Reverse the lottery numbers to find the limit distribution.

If and only the first three pirates were cast to death due to distribution, and finally there are only the last two pirates left, in order not to leak the money and monopolize the gold coins, pirate No. 5 must vote to kill the people in front.

So no matter how No. 4 chooses, No. 5 will vote him to death, so No. 4 must unconditionally agree to the allocation method of No. 3.

Even if that is 100,0,0.

No. 4 must also obey, even if No. 3 seeks stability, he can get at least 99 gold coins.

And if there are still 4 pirates left, No. 2 can't win the ticket of No. 3 anyway, so it is better to give up the wooing, and make No. 4 and No. 5 each get one when allocating.

Compared with No. 3's distribution plan, No. 4 and No. 5 are basically the same, and they will definitely agree to this decision. Pirate No. 2 can get at least 98 gold coins.

At this point in the deduction, the conclusion has actually come out.

Pirate No. 1 needs to get more than 3 votes, so he must directly exclude No. 2 who may get the most benefit, distribute 1 gold coin to No. 3, and then directly distribute two gold coins to No. 4 or No. 5.

The advantage of the two small numbers in the back is that no matter compared to the allocation method of No. 3 or No. 2, one of them may gain more benefits.

Counting yourself No. 1, and getting 3 tickets, you can finally monopolize 97 gold coins.

Explaining this idea clearly to the pirates, all he got was admiration,

It seems that those who have gone to college are really not ordinary.

"Everyone, the reward order just now is just a trivial joke, please don't take it seriously. We are all friends on the same front, how could I use such despicable means to deal with you, please say yes."

The first thing Tu Fu did as the leader of the Weddell Sea pirates was to announce to everyone that he would abolish the decision just now.

"Of course it's just a joke."

"Look at Mr. Sparrow's magnanimity, he is indeed the Lord of the Weddell Sea."

"Having a wise person like you is simply the blessing of Polar Sea."

After seeing that the overall situation had been decided, all the participants reacted and expressed their favor one after another.

Freire, the former captain of the Red Heart Pirates, felt ashamed when he learned that Tu Fu had answered the question correctly, and his heart was filled with ashes.

The thought of fighting him to death after escaping also dissipated completely. At this moment, only gratitude is left in my heart, and I wish I could kneel on the ground and kowtow to him on the spot.

This is the charm of game science.

The essence of the game is a game of advance and retreat. In the dynamic changes, always pursue the optimal strategy, which is the game.

At the same time, gaming is also the ultimate struggle of human nature.

Before one's own interests are determined, one wishes for the death of the other party, so one must fight with all one's strength in a duel, a life-threatening posture that will not give up until one loses one's fortune.

Once the vested interest is a fact, there is no need to push the defeated opponent into a desperate situation.

You have to forgive others and forgive others, so as not to end up with both sides hurting in the end.
