Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 46: The water level rises! Unforgettable solution! Lin Yu is puzzled!

When Lin Yu heard the Crow Man's question, he was slightly distracted.

This is a very typical "pool filling" problem. From a mathematical perspective, it belongs to elementary school level.

As expected, upon hearing the question, number eight, the "student," wiped the water from his face and spoke.

"It's a swimming pool filling problem. That's easy. Just assume the time is X!"

He said a little anxiously.

Lin Yu shook his head.

No, the difficulty of this problem does not lie in the mathematics part.

Before he could open his mouth, his girlfriend, the doctor with the ID "April," spoke helplessly, "But do you know the volume of this room, the speed at which water flows in, and the speed at which water flows out?"

Number Eight was stunned. "Ah, yes... Examiner, what are these numbers? Can't you give me some hints? These should fall under the category of hints!"

He looked at the Crow Man anxiously and asked.

The Crow Man's feathers and hoods were also wet by the water, making him look wet.

He looked at Number Eight and said, "Haha, this doesn't fall under the category of 'hints'."

Uncle Tie looked at No. 8 and shook his head.

"I'm afraid what you're asking is the difficulty of this problem—how could an elementary school math problem possibly appear in a death game... This tests our estimation skills."

As he spoke, Uncle Tie had already walked to the edge of the room and waded around the room.

Number Eight and April were both confused: "What is this uncle doing all of a sudden?"

Before Lin Yu could speak, the young thief named "Buwang" spoke up: "I think he's using 'stride length' to measure the length and width of this room... This uncle is wearing a safety helmet and is a 'craftsman' by profession, so he should be good at this kind of thing."

As he spoke, Lin Yu nodded slightly.

However, while the uncle was measuring the length and width of the room, Lin Yu was not idle either. He walked towards the Crow Man.

"Excuse me, should the final answer be accurate to the minute or the second? That should be within the scope of the hint, right?"

Lin Yu asked with a smile.

The Crow Man glanced at Lin Yu, shook off the water on his body, and spoke.

"Haha, let me think... That's it. Just keep the error in my answer within five minutes."

The Crow Man said this, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The error must be controlled within five minutes!

This means that the estimate does not have to be particularly accurate.

Soon, the uncle finished his circle and returned to the crowd.

"According to my estimation, this room should be about 9 meters long and 6 meters wide... and the floor height..."

The uncle stretched out his hand towards the ceiling and said, "Based on this data, the floor height should be about 3 meters."

Number Eight quickly answered, "Then I know. The volume of this classroom should be around 162 cubic meters."

As he spoke, he quickly said, "Next, as long as we know the speed of water drainage and water output, we can calculate it!"

As Number Eight spoke, Uncle Tie and April nodded, as if they were starting to think about how to calculate the water outflow and drainage speeds.

"If the speed of each outlet is uniform, we can find a container to catch all the water flowing out of a single outlet. From the time it takes to fill the container, we can calculate the time per unit of water flowing out of each outlet. There are ten outlets here..."

April suggested first.

But these words were interrupted by Buwang.

"Don't bother with that. Although a five-minute error is allowed, the more data you estimate, the greater the error will be in the end..."

He looked at Uncle Tie and said, "Uncle, I just want to ask... Are you sure this room is 3 meters high? Can the error be controlled within 10 centimeters?"

Uncle Tie nodded. "Although the height isn't that easy to measure, based on my experience, the ratio is roughly three meters! After working on construction sites for so many years, my eyes are my ruler!"

He said with some confidence.

Don't forget to take out the utility knife from your pocket.

"My utility knife is a standard 15cm long," he said, walking to a corner and pressing it against the wall, with the tip of the knife touching the water and the blade locked into the corner. "So all I have to do is calculate how long it takes for the water to completely submerge the knife... then multiply that by 20, and that's the approximate time."

He did not forget to say this, and then started counting in his mouth.

"1, 2, 3..."

At this time, Uncle Tie also reacted.

"Converting this problem into the speed of the water level rising is a great idea... I have a pocket watch here, which is a prop I got. Let's use this to tell time!"

He also walked to the wall, took out his pocket watch, and started counting time.

April and No. 8 also understood Buwang's intention and showed admiration.

"I see. If I do that... I can estimate a more accurate time," April muttered. "This was indeed an oversight on my part."

Number Eight curled his lips. "I thought it was a math problem, but it turned out to be just like a brain teaser, allowing this 'thief' to steal the show."

Siyue heard her boyfriend's sour words and poked him in the back: "Watch your words! Don't always say such nonsense to save face!"

April's tone was a little unhappy.

When Number Eight heard what his girlfriend said, he could only touch his nose awkwardly and squat down.

"It might be more accurate if it's at eye level. I'll help you see when the water has gone up."

Looking at the few people gathered in the corner to observe the rising speed of the water level, Lin Yu felt that something was wrong.

Just as "Uncle Tie" said at the beginning, simple elementary school math problems would never appear in a death game.

At first, everyone thought that the difficulty of this problem was "estimating various data."

But when we simplify all this data into the simple indicator of "water level", and add the "five minutes" error allowed by the Crows...

This question is too simple!

But what if we think about it from another perspective?

As No. 8 just said, what if this is not a logic or math problem, but a "brain teaser"?

The biggest feature of brain teasers is that there are "traps" in the questions.

Moreover, the crow man in front of him was obviously not an NPC who mechanically read out the rules and questions, but should be a being with high intelligence and independent consciousness.

It will "judge" which question it can answer, its own or No. 8's question.

but……

It was because of the answer just now that Lin Yu felt that there was something wrong with its tone.

"Let me think about it", "Then", "That's good" - a "hint" answer, or even a sentence involving "answer rules", it uses three uncertain and imprecise tones.

The Crow Man didn't seem to care much about the "error range of the answer" and just talked about it casually for five minutes!

Rather, Lin Yu felt a little strange that the Crow Man did not tell him about the "error" at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu walked towards the Crow Man again.
