"Good question..."
A communication ca from Ling Sha’s H number room.
Gao Xin replied, "Of course I have to co up with common sense questions."
"When there are more robots, the way of answering will be dominated by AI. We can’t let them answer too abstractly."
"So the only way to regain the initiative is to put effort into the questions."
"If I directly provide a common sense question with a clear answer, how could it co up with anything fancy?"
Ling Sha said, "But is it that the smaller the celestial body, the smaller the number, or the bigger the celestial body, the smaller the number?"
Gao Xin smiled, "How should I know? It depends on what AI chooses."
"The answer from AI in the last round was that the higher the rank, the smaller the number."
"But it’s hard to say if it will change this round."
"That’s why I must seize the opportunity to be the questioner this round and continue testing AI’s changes in answering."
Ling Sha nodded, "Right, we must test these pieces of intelligence in advance."
"Otherwise, the fifth round will be purely a gamble, with no room for error."
"We’d better make sure that in the fifth round, we can know AI’s numbers perfectly."
As they spoke, they both drew their numbers.
They directly communicated their respective numbers to each other through private ssages in the room.
"Tai Sui, I’m number 2."
"Hmm, I’m number 5..."
Gao Xin’s brow furrowed slightly. If they could complent each other to make a 9 or 10, that would naturally be the best and would ensure scoring.
But if the sum was only 7, it was not so clear.
It was very possible they would not score, and unless he killed Ling Sha, he would not be able to get those 60 points.
As for pairing with AI, the risk was great, as number 5 was prone to blowing up.
Ling Sha seed to guess his thoughts and said, "Let’s just pair up, Tai Sui."
"Even if we don’t score, don’t I still have 1 point? I can get those 60 points."
"As long as you’re not in negative points, we can both survive together."
"Later, when the ga ends, I’ll just transfer the money to you, as repaynt for saving my life."
Gao Xin said, "Don’t underestimate Lin An."
Ling Sha’s voice was cold, "Leave him to . I will definitely take him down."
As they spoke, the robots began to answer.
The answer from room A was: "Earth."
Ling Sha said, "Earth is the sixth largest celestial body in the solar system, right?"
Gao Xin replied earnestly, "Yes, the mass of the Earth is 5.97237 tis 10 to the 24th power kilograms."
"The five that are heavier are the Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus..."
"Then cos Earth, Venus, Mars, rcury..."
Ling Sha laughed, "Have you been studying?"
Although she knew that Earth’s mass was ranked sixth, she wasn’t able to state the exact mass.
"Never studied, consider it self-taught..." Gao Xin said offhand.
Indeed, he hadn’t really studied much, but his dad had, and he inherited all of those mories.
Ling Sha didn’t ask further, "So A is number 6."
Gao Xin replied, "Not necessarily. AI might be assigning numbers in reverse order based on ranking."
Ling Sha laughed, "If it’s in reverse order, then Earth should be number 5, but you’re number 5..."
Gao Xin reminded, "Right, I’m number 5, but don’t forget that AI can lie."
"So the answer Earth could either be number 6 or number 10."
Then room B answered: "Neptune."
Ling Sha imdiately said, "Neptune is ranked fourth, so in reverse order, it would be 7... So it’s either number 4 or number 7."
"Of course, it could also be number 10, but if B is 10, then A is definitely 6."
Soon room C answered: "Venus."
Gao Xin said, "Venus is the seventh largest by mass, so in order it’s 7, in reverse order, it’s 4."
They analyzed and recorded at the sa ti.
But the answer from room D was unexpected: "Ran Xing."
"Huh?" Ling Sha was astonished.
"What the hell is Ran Xing? Is there such a celestial body in the solar system?"
A common sense question suddenly brought up a strange planet. Who knows what its mass ranking could be?
Gao Xin’s brow tightened, "Could it be a man-made celestial body created by ’Little Ran’?"
"How much do you know about AI technology in space?"
Ling Sha spoke gravely, "I don’t know, I have no idea at all, it seems like the authorities have given up on space, there’s never any news on that."
Gao Xin was silent; he knew even less.
Ling Sha continued, "The na sounds related to Emperor Ran, but it’s not necessarily a man-made celestial body built by him."
"That would be terrifying, creating a celestial body that’s among the top ten in mass. Where would they get that much material from?"
"Could they have scraped it from other planets? Then the mass rankings we know of could be completely ssed up."
"I think it’s probably an alias AI gave to the Sun, directly using the na of Emperor Ran to na the Sun."
"So this answer is actually number 1."
Gao Xin said in a deep voice, "The tenth largest in mass in the solar system should be Jupiter’s moon."
"But if ’Little Ran’ really did create a celestial body heavier than Jupiter’s moon, then the tenth heaviest could possibly be this Ran Xing."
"In that case, whether Ran Xing is the Sun or the tenth heaviest, whether the ranking is straightforward or reversed, this answer can only be number 1."
In fact, to determine whether the robots are assigning numbers straightforwardly or in reverse, it’s quite simple.
You just need to see if there is an answer ’Sun’.
If robots ntion the Sun, it must be straightforward, because in reverse the Sun would be number 10, and number 10 wouldn’t say it’s number 10...
Similarly, checking if there’s a ’Jupiter’s moon’ also works.
Anyway, if such an answer appears, it’s number 1, and it can be determined whether the assignnt is straightforward or reversed.
Yet at this mont, the robots ca up with ’Ran Xing’.
Ling Sha sighed, "The fear is that it isn’t the tenth heaviest but the seventh or eighth, or fourth or fifth, then we’re in trouble."
