Entertaining Children

   Chapter 1249 Talent?

  Xiao Yao said he was willing to try, and Sam did not accept the ten cards on the table, and directly began the second round of cards.

In the second round, there are four players and a dealer in five positions. The process of dealing cards is the same. Nine bright cards and one hidden card. After the last ten cards are dealt, Sam will deduct him in front of him. After the hidden cards that got up were revealed to Xiao Yao, he dunked all the ten cards.

  "Please!" After buckling all the cards, Sam waved his hand.

  "Here!" Xiao Yao still followed the sequence of the first round, reaching out and clicking on the leftmost deck of his own card, "Five hearts and eights of spades!"

   "Correct, continue!" Taylor said directly.

  Just now, he saw the process of Sam's deal, remembering the two cards in the position in front of Xiao Yao, and he didn't bother to pick it up and check it again.

  "Here, Club Ten and Red Heart A, Black Jack!" Xiao Yao moved his finger to a position on the right.

   "Correct!" Sandra said this time.

   "Here, the king of spades and the three of hearts!" Xiao Yao's finger moved another position.

   "Correct!" Raj also nodded.

  The people in the card counting team were all watching, and anyone could memorize a few cards at will, so this time everyone didn't take the cards to check, just verbally announced Xiao Yao's correctness.

  "Here, Cube Seven and Cube J!" Xiao Yao moved his finger to his rightmost position.

  No one spoke this time, and Sam looked up at Yan Ke.

  In terms of position, Taylor, Sandra, and Raj are the two confirmed cards closest to where they are standing, and Yan Ke is the closest card to Xiao Yao's rightmost deck.

  "Don't look at me," Yan Ke said with a smile, "In order to show justice, the three of us will not participate in Yang's assessment! I don't believe that none of you can remember four cards!"

   "Okay!" Sam nodded, "Correct!"

  After Xiao Yao clicked the two dealer's cards in front of Sam again, Sam nodded again to confirm.

  In the third round of licensing, after going through the exact same process, Sam said to Xiao Yao: "Let’s talk about it this time! If there is something wrong, we will point it out. If you don’t believe it, we will open the verification again!"

   "Okay!" Xiao Yao complied with the kindness and reported all the ten cards in the original order in one breath.

"OK, it's still all correct!" Sam nodded, "But this is just a very simple first step. Now we are testing the second project. There are 30 discarded cards used, please tell me these three There have been a few threes out of ten discarded cards!"

   "Two!" Xiao Yao reached out and clicked on the two leftmost positions in front of him and the second from the right, "Here, square three, here, red heart three!"

  Now there are 30 discarded cards, which were issued in three rounds. There was a period of time in between. Even if the people in the card counting team felt good, they were not so sure, so they picked up the cards on the table again to verify.

  "Diamond three is here, there are no other three!" Taylor picked up the six cards on the leftmost side in front of Xiao Yao, looked at it, and nodded.

   "Heart Three is here, and there are no other three!" Raj picked up the six cards closest to him and looked at it.

   "No! No!" Sandra checked the two piles that Xiao Yao didn't spot, and announced.

   "Neither!" Sam looked at the six cards in front of him, nodded and smiled, "Now I have confidence in your memory, but our test is not over yet, I think we should finish it!"

   "Of course!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile.

  Following the fourth and fifth rounds, Xiao Yao still answered all of them correctly.

   "Now I have two cards left in my hand!" Sam took the last two cards and said to Xiao Yao, "Please tell me the points of these two cards, the time limit is five seconds! Five, four..."

   "Red Heart 2 and Plum Blossom A!" Xiao Yao said.

   "Awesome!" Sam applauded.

   "Thank you" Xiao Yao smiled and asked, "Is it over?"

   "Let me ask one!" Sam was about to nod, and Taylor suddenly interrupted, pointing to the pile of cards on the far left of Xiao Yao, "Can you tell me all the ten cards here now?"

   "Thai!" Sandra looked at Tyler with a little dissatisfaction, "Young has done a good job, don't make things difficult!"

"Don't get me wrong!" Taylor said to Xiao Yao, "When you are right about the last two cards in Sam's hand, you have passed our memory test! I just saw you not only discarded cards in the third round. Speaking of the number of secondary three, it also accurately stated the position of two and three, so I want to give it a try!"

   "Understood," Xiao Yao smiled, "please give me a few seconds to remember!"

   "It seems you can really do it?" Taylor asked in surprise.

   "Maybe I can do more!" Xiao Yao smiled.

   "What do you mean?" The four people in the card counting group were surprised.

  "Diamond Two!" Xiao Yao placed his hand on the first card on the leftmost deck, and after telling the suit and the number of points, he turned over the cards by himself.

  The crowd watching, it turned out to be two squares.

   "Four of the plum blossoms!" Xiao Yao said, and opened the next one, and it was indeed the four of plum blossoms.

  "Six of spades, 9 of diamonds..." Xiao Yao reported one by one, flipping it all the way.

The four non-China members of the card counting group all showed surprised expressions.

   "Three cubes!" Xiao Yao opened the last one, and it was also three cubes.

   "Awesome!" All four exclaimed.

   "Seven of spades!" Xiao Yao did not end, and continued to report a suit and number of points, and then flipped over the top card of the second pile from the left in front of him.

   "Isn't it?" All seven of the card counting group showed incredible expressions.

  "Red Heart 10, Club Q..." Xiao Yao said one by one, and soon turned the second pile of cards over, and moved to the third pile.

   "God!" Raji, who rarely speaks, said dumbfounded, "What did I see?"

  After turning over the ten cards in the third pile, Xiao Yao moved his finger to the rightmost pile in front of him again. Naturally, there was no idleness in his mouth. Then, it was the banker card in front of Sam. In the seven people's horrible expression, Xiao Yao turned over all the fifty cards, and there was no error in the suit and the number of repetitions in his mouth.

   Including Yan Ke and the three of them, the seven people next to them all looked dumb.

   "Xiao Yao, you are such a monster!" Yan Ke said to Xiao Yao in an incredible way.

  When they were training for the Olympiad National Team, Yan Ke and the three people already knew that Xiao Yao's memory was very good, but they didn't expect Xiao Yao's memory to be so powerful.

   "Yan, what did you just say?" Taylor asked Yan Ke. Just now, Yan Ke was excited and spoke Chinese, but he didn't understand it.

   "I said Yang is a monster!" Yan Ke explained in English.

   "Yes!" Taylor said, "Young is indeed a monster!"

   "Yang, do you have superpowers?" Raj looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Like those superheroes in comics, they have superpowers because of accidents or genetic modification?"

"Of course not!" Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, "I'm just born with a good memory! If this is a super ability, then this kind of super ability is born! But my memory doesn't seem to exceed the normal range of human beings, so I can't count it. Superpower, right? I'm a normal person!"

"When we met him back then, his memory was very strong, but it didn't reach this level!" Yan Ke said, "Maybe he is also preparing for the past few years, doing it purposefully in order to go to the casino by counting cards. Have you exercised your memory?"

   "That's right!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "Does memorizing music scores, lyrics, scripts, scripts, scripts, and scripts count as training memory? It should be counted!"

"Okay!" Taylor calmed down and said to Xiao Yao, "Yang, we admit that you have a very good memory, better than us. You must have passed our memory test. But card counting is not just about counting cards. Good memory is enough, so we have to proceed to the next assessment!"

   "No problem, what's the next assessment?" Xiao Yao said.

   "Calculation ability," Taylor said, "To be precise, it's mental arithmetic!"

"Simple calculations, I am definitely fine, but I may still lack knowledge in advanced mathematics." Xiao Yao said, "So, if it involves knowledge or formulas in advanced mathematics, I hope you can explain it to me first. , And then take the test. I am very confident in my ability to learn, and the learning process should not take long."

  Although Xiao Yao had studied advanced mathematics when he was in college, he only took two related courses in his undergraduate course. The content he learned is definitely not comparable to their masters of science and engineering.

   "No, it does not involve advanced mathematics knowledge, just simple calculations!" Taylor said, "The difficulty lies in the number of calculations and the prescribed time."

   "OK, then come on!" Xiao Yao said.

   "Let me come!" Sandra walked to the opposite side of Xiao Yao and sat down, took out the phone, operated it, and put it on the table between the two of them.

  "Timekeeping?" Xiao Yao glanced at the screen of his mobile phone and found that the screen was displaying a stopwatch interface. He smiled and asked, "How long is the prescribed time?"

  "The sooner the better!" Sandra said, "I randomly choose the questions, and the difficulty of the questions is not necessarily, so there is no specified time. Your answer time is just for us a reference."

   "OK!" Xiao Yao said in his hand.

  "How much is 3+8+4-5+2+4-1+7+2+6-4+2-6-8+4-2+5?" Sandra asked very quickly. After asking, Sandra tapped the stopwatch on the phone screen to start timing.

   "21!" Xiao Yao quickly gave the answer.

   "Correct, next question!" Sand stretched his hand and pressed the stop button on the stopwatch, and then immediately reset.

   "You don't seem to care about your answering time?" After finishing the operation, Sandra did not ask the next question immediately, but looked at Xiao Yao and said.

  She noticed that Xiao Yao didn't look down at the time display on the phone at all, nor asked him how long it took.

   "I seem to know why you came to test me in this round of testing." Xiao Yao smiled, and some of the answers were unreasonable.

   "Oh?" Sandra looked at Xiao Yao with interest, "Why?"

"Because you speak very fast!" Xiao Yao smiled, "So I think this round of testing is not only a test of my mental arithmetic ability, but also a test of my memory and psychological quality. Compared with those, I think The time to answer the question is not important!"

  Through the contact just now, Xiao Yao discovered that Sandra is the most outgoing of the four and the one who speaks the fastest. And just now Sandra deliberately asked questions at such a fast speed, just to deliberately create a tense atmosphere for Xiao Yao. In this case, most people don't talk about answering the questions. Whether they can remember the question will be a question.

   "Well, you found out!" Sandra smiled.

"But this does not mean that the test is over, you passed the test." Sandra said sternly, "The test continues! Next question: If you have three boxes in front of you, two of them are empty, and one has a piece of gold in it. The box has a lid. You can’t see it. You don’t know which box contains gold, but I know. Now if you choose box No. 1, I open box No. 3 and show it to you. You see box No. 3 is empty. Will you change your choice at this time?"

  "Let me go! Isn't this the Monty Hall paradox of the previous life? The three-door problem is just changing the door to a box, the car to gold, and the goat to nothing." Xiao Yao said in his heart.

   "Change!" Before Sandra could press the stopwatch on the phone, Xiao Yao directly replied.

   "Why?" Sandra asked in surprise. Others also showed surprised expressions.

   "After changing, the probability of getting gold doubles!" Xiao Yao smiled helplessly, "Are you really testing mental arithmetic?"

Sandra was surprised and delighted when she heard the first half sentence of Xiao Yao, but when she heard the last half sentence of Xiao Yao, she had some doubts in her heart, and said to Xiao Yao: "Of course it's a mental arithmetic test! This is a need. You calculate the profit probabilities of swapping and not swapping in your mind. Although it is a bit more complicated, it is indeed a problem that needs to be calculated."

   "Are you kidding me?" Xiao Yao said, "This is obviously Monty..."

When Xiao Yao said this, he suddenly remembered that there does not seem to be Monty Hall in this world, so he changed his words: "This is obviously a topic that extends from Bertrand's box paradox. You are definitely not testing me. Knowledge of mathematics?"

  Sandra and others heard Xiao Yao mention the "Bertrand box paradox", their expressions were even more surprised.

"So you did not calculate it, but the result obtained through Bertrand's box paradox?" Sandra looked at Xiao Yao, "Do you know the Bertrand box paradox? Why? You said, You are in the School of Film and Television, and you don’t study advanced mathematics!"

"The Bertrand box paradox is mentioned in the textbook of the probability course for science and engineering students of Huaxia University." Xiao Yao compiled the reason, "Although I am studying in an art college and not studying mathematics, I am fine. I also doubled the books in this area when I was in. You know, a few years ago, I agreed with Yan that they would use card counting to go to the casino to play blackjack. In my free time, I will read books on probability. ."

"Well, it seems that you have really made a lot of preparations!" Sandra said, "But our topic seems to be very different from Bertrand's box paradox. How could you suddenly think of using it? Bertrand box paradox to answer this question?"

   "There is no reason, I just thought of it!" Xiao Yao couldn't make up anymore, so he had to say, "I feel that these two are the same problem! Maybe it is also a talent?"
