At the sa ti, on ‘Rabbit’ Han ngying and ‘Sheep's’ side, the ‘Sage Players’ also imdiately changed to this round's cards, returned from the lounges to the hall, and began discussion.
Still leading the conversation were ‘Rabbit’ Han ngying, ‘Sheep,’ ‘Hummingbird’ Luo Wei, and "Dalmatian."
In the previous round of the ga, they guessed "45" and had the chip advantage, which was sufficient to ensure they wouldn't be eliminated but the final result was "68." This also ant they actually hadn't mastered the true rules of the ‘Guess the Number’ gaplay.
‘Dalmatian’ lightly tapped his oxygen mask, falling into thought, "Strange, this number is way too high. How could it be 68? If it's multiple-level gaming, doesn't that an most players in this ga hall are idiots? They can't even think to the second level of gaming?"
Very obviously, even among ‘Sage Players’, there were differences in capability.
Even seeing the result, ‘Dalmatian’ still hadn't realized where the problem was.
After all, the way this ga screened "Sages" was through playing cards. It inevitably mixed in so luck factors.
‘Sheep’ and ‘Rabbit’ Han ngying were obviously the two relatively intelligent people in the current ‘Sage Player’ small group.
‘Sheep’ had already realized the answer. She sighed, "I understand. This isn't multiple-level logical gaming at all, but rather the remaining quantity of a certain thing before the end of each round of the ga."
‘Rabbit’ Han ngying nodded, "Mm, it's the remaining quantity of '‘Fool Cards’.'
"In the previous round of the ga, we all didn't think of this point. This is the 'curse of knowledge.'"
The other ‘Sage’ players also suddenly understood.
At the sa ti, they felt sowhat speechless.
Thinking about it now, this ga was called "Fool's Ga," and ‘Guess the Number’ didn't have so many mysteries at all. 100 referred to the quantity of ‘Fool Cards’ in the venue.
Currently in the ga, there were 10 players holding "Sage Card decks" and 30 players holding "Fool Card decks."
The forr each had 1 "Fool Card," while the latter each had 3 ‘‘Fool Cards’,’ adding up to exactly 100 ‘‘Fool Cards’.’
Even an elentary school student could easily calculate this and the rules said this number might continuously decrease due to players.
The true aning of this clause was that the quantity of ‘Fool Cards’ would be consud due to player battles, so what should be guessed was the remaining number after consumption.
Because even knowing it was guessing the number of ‘‘Fool Cards’,’ players couldn't be certain whether to guess "the remaining number" or guess "the consud number."
These two numbers were opposite.
This hint in the rules clarified that it was guessing "the remaining number."
The reason these ‘Sage Players’ mistakenly thought it was "multiple-level logical gaming" was actually the "curse of knowledge."
Because "multiple-level logical gaming" was quite basic knowledge in ga theory, and because it was too classic, the format of "guess a number from 0 to 100" was simply taken for granted as common sense by these players. ȑ𝘼ＮꝊꞖЕś
They would naturally fall into a misunderstanding.
Especially the number 100 made it easier for people to misunderstand.
If it were a number with both zeroes and whole numbers like 112, these ‘Sage Players’ might have realized this wasn't "multiple-level logical gaming," but would think it was related to so specific value within the ga.
If ‘Sage Players’ really treated it as "multiple-level logical gaming," considered many levels, and filled in a very low number, they might instead be eliminated very early.
Perhaps among the 5 people eliminated in the first round, there were such players.
Instead, ‘Fool Players’ were more likely to guess this possibility. After all, they might not even know what "multiple-level logical gaming" was, so they wouldn't fall into the "curse of knowledge."
‘Dalmatian’ thought for a mont, "But even thinking of this point, the number from the previous round was still on the high side, right?
"When ‘Fool Players’ battle, don't they like using ‘Fool Cards’?
"If they continue this card-playing strategy, next ti we should still guess numbers around 60 to 70, right?"
‘Rabbit’ Han ngying shook her head, "Wrong, completely wrong.
"If in the next round we still completely rely on guessing, then we're definitely going to lose.
"Because the quantity of ‘Fool Cards’ can be controlled, and judging from the results of the previous round, soone is already doing this."
‘Dalmatian’ looked at the players in the hall with so surprise. These players weren't deliberately banding together at this mont, but were still walking around randomly throughout the hall, only gathering together at specific tis.
Originally, ‘Dalmatian’ thought these ‘Fool Players’ were still a scattered ss. Now it seed they had long ago already ford certain small groups.
‘Dalmatian’ said, "Then should we also hurry to organize so ‘Fool Players’ and gather ‘Fool Cards’?"
‘Sheep’ looked at the crowd in the hall, "Too late. When we were organizing the ‘Sage Players’ small group, there were also players organizing '‘Fool Players’' small groups.
"Once small groups take shape, trying to poach people becos difficult.
"Moreover, just as ‘Sage Players’ naturally gravitate toward each other, '‘Fool Players’' will also naturally gravitate toward each other.
"Now we can only negotiate with the 'leaders' of the small groups."
Saying this, ‘Sheep’ sighed, "We were a step too slow.
"No, we should say they were too fast."
Although these small groups would also disperse and deliberately disguise themselves, they still had to gather together to discuss strategies. So for players with strong observational skills, seeing this point wasn't difficult.
But even realizing this now, they were already a step too slow. This step was crucial.
If the ‘Sage Players’ had recognized the unique value of ‘Fool Players’ at the first mont of entering the second stage and used their "Sage identity," chip advantage, or even directly used "Contract Vouchers" to win over ‘Fool Players’, then they could also have controlled at least ten ‘Fool Players’.
That would an directly controlling thirty ‘Fool Cards’ at very low cost.
But having missed this window period, with ‘Fool Players’ snatched away by others, once small groups ford, trying to poach people beca difficult.
They could only negotiate in group form.
The first round of the ‘Guess the Number’ ga was not only screening players but also screening different small groups.
‘Rabbit’ Han ngying looked toward ‘Sheep,’ "How many people do you think are hoarding ‘Fool Cards’? Who are the leaders?"
‘Sheep’ was silent for a mont and pointed out two possible players, "'Sika Deer' and 'Owl.'
"They should have each gathered about ten ‘Fool Players’, which also ans they control at least 60 ‘Fool Cards’.
"We must find a way to dismantle or buy off the small groups these two people have established. Otherwise, in subsequent gas, we'll have no chance of winning at all."
‘Dalmatian’ was startled, "Absolutely no chance of winning at all?"
‘Rabbit’ Han ngying nodded, "Yes."
