Blackstone Code Chapter 1378: Endgame
As the ratings are getting higher and higher, the prime-time focus of the evening is on "Millionaire". Even though many TV stations want to do something to bring the situation back, it is a pity that they can't do anything. arrive.
Many people clearly realize that as long as the Blackstone Media TV station really distributes one million dollars today, then a TV era belonging to Blackstone Media will come.
No one can resist the impact of a million, even if some TV stations want to imitate...
They can't come up with that much money either.
Sometimes it's nice to have money, because money can solve almost all the troubles in this world!
Over time the players have become more familiar with the way the game is played, and most of them have mastered the correct way of playing, with more than two players winning the game in almost every round.
In this way, the points of all the contestants are tightly entwined with each other, and it is difficult to draw too much distance.
When the host announced the end of the first stage of the competition, the accumulated prize money in each player's hands has approached the level of 800,000.
This also means that more tragic, fighting between players is coming.
Harry glanced at his scoreboard. He had 198,500 points, which is... 20,000 points less than first place.
It seems a bit too much, but at this point, this point is not enough to cause an irreparable gap.
When the commercial was over, the camera cut back and the director on the scene told the host that it was okay to continue, and the host started the final introduction to the rules of the game.
"If anyone wants to quit... now can raise their hand."
“After withdrawing players take part of the prize money, the other part will be accumulated in the final prize pool and awarded to the winner of the final match.”
"So, is anyone leaving now?"
Due to the restrictions of the competition rules, if you withdraw, you will not be able to get all the bonuses, so some people take away tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses at most.
These bonuses may still be attractive to these players in the early stages of the competition, the monthly competition.
They are not sure if they are the one who can reach the end in the end. Under the condition that the probability is so small that they can hardly be seen, they leave with tens of thousands of dollars. Maybe they can only make their lives a little more comfortable. It doesn't make any sense, but at least it's worth it.
But now, everyone has a 25% probability of being the one who takes away one million in the end. Compared with one million, who is willing to give up?
Compared with one million, this is actually a lot of tens of thousands of dollars for them, and it becomes inconspicuous.
In silence, the host nodded slightly, "Very good, no one quits, the next game will decide who can take away one million today, the rules are very simple..."
"In four months of competition, you may have experienced or watched a lot of interesting, different games."
"You should also know that these competitions themselves do not require any academic qualifications for you."
"Whether you are literate or not, and whether you have a very broad reading environment, it has little impact on the outcome, because the answer is often by our side, but it is not paid attention to by us."
"Now, in the final round of the season, let's get everything back to basics and keep everything simple."
"The rules of this game are very simple, each of you can choose a card pack, each card pack contains twelve cards, and you can freely choose three of them as your answer. "
"The above is the 'answer' you hold, and all you have to do is to guess what other people's answers are by asking!"
“Only one answer is valid at a time. In each round, each person has three free questions. When the three free questions are used up, you need to pay the questionee different points for each question.”
"For the fourth question, you need to pay 2,000 points, for the fifth question, you need to pay 4,000 points, and for the sixth question, you need to pay 8,000 points..."
"And then 16,000 points, 32,000 points, 64,000 points..."
"There is no limit to the number of questions you can ask this time. As long as you get enough points, you can keep asking questions!"
"Each person can only ask each other one question per round, or you can give up asking questions, but you can't ask more."
"If someone's answer is guessed right, the person who holds the answer will deduct one-third of the total points and transfer it to the answerer, and activate the second answer."
"If someone guesses all three answer cards, he loses his chance to win the prize and leaves with our souvenir."
"All answers must comply with the rules of the answer. Except asking directly what the answer is, any question can be asked, as long as it is related to the content of the program."
"The respondent's answer must match the answer. For example, if the thing is round, you can't tell others that it is any other shape, or that it is not round."
"Those who guess the answer in other people's hands, and who are guessed by others, can refresh the number of free questions."
"If all of you don't have enough points to keep asking questions, then all of you will lose once, and one-third of your points will go back to the prize pool for the final winner."
"By the way, all the answers described are basically on our side."
"Any questions?"
The rules of the competition are actually very simple, similar to some intelligence games. When asking some simple questions, such as "Can you ask different people?" and "Is there a clear pairing?" Everyone gave very loose answers.
Obviously his answer was simple, but this suddenly made all the contestants nervous.
Through the host's answers, they realized that this seemingly simple game was actually not that simple.
The reason is very simple. If all three people ask the same person, then this person is largely unstoppable.
Nine questions, or more, can easily knock someone out first.
In other words, having no rules became one of the scariest rules of the game!
But at the same time, the points that all this brings are extremely amazing!
As long as you can form a "wall" quickly and efficiently, you have a chance to win!
Harry clenched his fists.
Then the game officially begins.
This time, no one of the group was the first to ask the question, but they were watching each other and making eye contact.
In the end, three bad eyes focused on the person with the first score.
He also realized that he might be targeted, but at this moment, he suddenly looked at Harry, "What shape is your thing?"
Harry didn't expect that he would be the first to be questioned, and when the other two looked at him, he realized he might be in some trouble.
He glances at the card in his hand, which reads baseball.
Yes, in his life.
He was silent for a while, "Round."
The corner of the questioner's mouth twitched slightly, "It looks like a ball..."
Harry cursed in his heart, and although his expression was well managed, some people saw some panic in his eyes.
Actually, baseball...was a wrong choice, because it has a lot of confusion, and it has a lot in common.
It's just that he didn't expect that he would be the first to be asked, and the question was so tricky that the other party even added some details - it should be a ball!
People can be stupid sometimes, they trust their eyes and ears, that's why politicians and capitalists are always glamorous.
They always have a way to fool people's eyes and ears, but people don't believe it's fake until the last minute.
When someone asked a question so close to an answer, the team of Harry and the other two who made eye contact was suddenly broken up.
Before he had time to ask questions, he was "fired" again.
"I would like to ask contestant No. 1, is there a large area to use it?"
Harry was the champion of the month, so he was the No. 1 player.
Another very fatal problem, we all know that the baseball field is very large, but the only thing fortunate is that in addition to baseball, there are also large stadiums for concentrated sports.
This time, without waiting for the third person to ask questions, Harry directly attacked the fourth player, the player who asked the question at the beginning.
"I want to ask contestant No. 4, is that thing above the answer in your hand food?"
Contestant No. 4's expression management is in place, without much hesitation, he nodded, "Yes, it is food."
There was a little more smile on Harry's face. The host didn't make a sound when the fourth player interfered with him just now, which means that nonsense is allowed.
He said to "himself" as if he were asking himself, "At least I have to ask what the color of that thing is..."
The third player, who had been silent for a while, looked at Harry, and Harry looked at him.
Sometimes people's eyes are very strange~IndoMTL.com~ What you see is a pair of eyeballs, but you can feel the emotions expressed by the other party, even the language, from the brilliance in the eyes of the other party.
Player No. 3 understands what Harry means. Player No. 4 has the most points and has always been the strongest performer. Instead of eliminating Harry first, it is better to eliminate No. 4 first according to their original plan.
Contestant #3 thought for a while and asked, "Is it an animal?"
He didn't ask about color, but a more intuitive question.
If it's not animals, it must be fruits and vegetables, and then through color, it can basically be locked.
Contestant No. 4's eyelids trembled involuntarily, as if attention had returned to him, which is not a good sign.
He nodded, "Yes, it's an animal..."
In the first round, all questions are asked.
