His demeanor is like the wind, but he is actually confident in his heart.
As for whether Heir of Prince Xiang could answer the question, he didn't worry at all.
If you can't answer it, just tell the truth openly.
He does not bet with Heir of Prince Xiang on who can answer more questions, but on who can answer less questions.
Compared to the vast number of cheats he had experienced in his previous life, Heir of Prince Xiang is a god, and I'm afraid he can't even hope to crack the brain-breaking question bank it has.
Even if there are two questions, even if he can't answer them, if he continues to answer them over and over again, he will exhaust the other person's question bank.
After hearing Xu Yi's words, Heir of Prince Xiang felt a stone fall from his heart and said with a smile, "Then please ask Mr. Xu for advice. Now there is Jia Sheng, and his wife Lady Tan is fierce by nature, but cunning and clever, and she often comes up with unexpected tricks to get into trouble Jia Sheng, Jia Sheng is suffering terribly. A month ago, I tried a trick with Lady Tan. Jia Sheng I visited all the famous people in the city, but I still can't figure it out. Now I'm asking you for advice. I'm sure that with your sharpness and intelligence, I won't be disappointed."
The much-anticipated cultural gathering turned into a battle of wits. I don't know how many people sighed and secretly talked about a shocking battle, which turned into sour rice.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Heir of Prince Xiang was spoken, everyone's interest was aroused.
There were all important people in the room. On such an occasion, I suddenly heard the story of a shrew playing tricks on the scribes, and I felt a sense of curiosity and excitement.
Even Son of Heaven of Great Yue on the throne also said to the red-robed eunuch on the left, "Unexpectedly, this shrew in the world, tsk tsk, compared with that Jia Sheng, I am like a flower. If God helps me..."
Everyone was paying attention, and then they heard Heir of Prince Xiang say, "That day, Jia Sheng read at night, Lady Tan asked the maid to send two strange sticks of incense, saying Jia Sheng He said, after an hour and a half, he entered Xiyuan on time, and if he was one minute late, he would be struck ten times with the cane, and if he was one minute early, the same would apply. Jia Sheng was struck by the cane for three consecutive days and suffered unspeakably. He then searched for the wise men in the city, but they couldn't find the method, so I asked you sir to crack it."
Qixian incense is a commonly used incense in the market. It has a light and elegant fragrance with minimal smoke smell. It is mostly used in boudoirs and studies to add elegance.
Qixian incense is formed quantitatively, and one stick of incense is accurate to the hour, which is recognized by the world.
Furthermore, incense is made from leaf tubes without wooden handles, and is placed in a silver tray for burning.
But as soon as he said Heir of Prince Xiang, the whole place was silent, and they began to whisper. After a while, the whispers subsided.
People who are used to whispering have come to realize that this question cannot be as simple as imagined, otherwise it would be difficult for a city of wise men.
According to common sense, two sticks of incense need to be burned for two hours. Now the limit is one and a half hours, so just burn one and a half sticks of incense.
Obviously, the crux of the problem lies in that half hour, that is, in that half stick of incense.
After all, no matter how exquisite the brewing method is, it is impossible to guarantee that the incense will be absolutely symmetrical. A slight imbalance means that the real half of the incense is not in the center of the incense.
After the whispers fell, Heir of Prince Xiang smiled and said, "Mr. Xu please, sir, please tell me how long it will take."
This question is not difficult, but it is extremely difficult. The main reason is to crack the mindset. He feeds countless wise men in Prince Xiang's palace, and it took several days to solve this question. No matter how extraordinary this Poet Immortal, Word Sage is, if he wants to solve it, I am afraid it will not be able to be solved in an instant.
But having said that, at this time, there is no time for him Mr. Xu to think carefully and slowly.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, he heard Xu Yi say, "This is easy for you. You can reply to Jia Sheng. Next time Lady Tan will embarrass him with this matter, ask him to burn the second incense stick from both ends. When the incense is used up, it will burn for an hour and a half."
As soon as he said this, Heir of Prince Xiang stared at Xu Yi as if he were looking at a demon. He never thought of this extremely difficult problem. How could he easily solve it when he came to this person? Could it be that this person's head really does not belong to the world.
The whole place was in an uproar. Everyone was still thinking hard, but the answer was revealed, and it was so incredible.
Jiuru, who had arrived at the preset location, suddenly stopped and said in a daze, "This person is a monster, a complete monster."
Ghost Master suddenly felt something in his heart, and then he said fiercely: If this thief cannot be destroyed, he will die in heaven."
The question Heir of Prince Xiang is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say easy. The key is to break the fixed thinking. But the thinking is already fixed, how can it be so easy to break!
Ordinary people only light incense on one side, but never thought of lighting incense from both sides. When faced with this question, most ordinary people will make up their mind on the scale. Unless they are desperate, they will try to open up their minds and will never give the answer in such a short time.
Unless this person often lights incense from both sides.
Xu Yi is not so weird as to light incense from both sides. He was able to solve this problem instantly. It was not something else, but he had seen this problem before.
In later generations, there were many brain teasers to break the fixed thinking. A similar example is burning a rope. How to determine that just half of the rope has been burned.
This question may seem complicated, but the core is just a variation of this question.
Xu Yi is naturally breakable with a single glance.
"Okay!"
Son of Heaven of Great Yue suddenly slapped the armrest of the throne hard, causing severe pain due to the huge force, and shouted with twitching face, "A talent with a talent, a talent with a talent indeed!"
Xu Yi slightly arched his hands in the direction of the throne. He was completely relieved in his heart. It seemed that a protracted battle could be avoided. He smiled and said, "It seems that Xu got the answer right. Your Majesty, please ask the second question."
Heir of Prince Xiang never expected that the first-mover advantage he had gained by asking the questions first would be gone in an instant. Not only that, he would be caught off guard by the opponent, and the situation would take a turn for the worse.
He forced himself to calm down and thought to himself, he had only solved one question. Judging from the speed of solving the question, he had obviously heard of this question before. Even if he came up with the second question, someone who didn't believe that he could solve it. He only had to solve this Poet Immortal, Word Sage problem, which would greatly improve his reputation.
At that moment, I heard him say, "Sir, you solved it correctly. I really didn't expect you to have seen this question before. You can count it as your luck, so I came up with the second question. Let's say a basin contains water, a bowl is placed in the basin, and a stone is placed in the bowl. If the stone in the bowl is removed and thrown into the basin. When is the stone in the bowl or the stone in the plate, when will the height of the water line infiltrating the porcelain bowl be higher?"
As soon as this question came up, the whole place was quiet and there was a lot of rustling. However, many people took out banknotes and recorded the question on the slips, while sketching out the solution.
Obviously, the battle of wits between the two sides was unparalleled and interesting, and it completely aroused everyone's interest.
"Sir, please answer. This three-year-old boy's question can be solved in an instant with your wisdom."
Heir of Prince Xiang said this, but secretly gritted his teeth in his heart. If you can solve this problem, I will pick up my head and play with you as a ball.
It turns out that this question is simple to say. It is almost a scene that can be seen in life. It does not even require a lot of thinking. You only need to take a basin, bowl, stone, and water and try it in public, and you can get the answer instantly.
However, it is extremely difficult to figure out the key points of this question after narrating it orally and putting it in my mind.
Unless someone is extremely bored and often plays games like children, or is even bored to the point of recording watermarks, the answer will never be easily determined.
