"Good analysis! Smart men are the ones that girls like the most."
A sweet voice echoed from below, but it sounded oddly distorted, likely altered by some electronic means.
"But there's one thing you guessed wrong. The bad news is that one of you will disappear. But there's also good news! The one who survives can claim gold worth up to 2.5 million yuan! That's right, gold worth 2.5 million yuan!"
The voice seemed to tempt them.
"Sigh, the global economy is in a downturn, yet inflation is soaring, causing prices to skyrocket. However, this includes the price of the gold you are about to win. Each gram of pure gold, smaller than your pinky nail, is valued at over 250 yuan.
In the shadow of the current financial crisis, gold is the most stable investment. Now, before you lies a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that even I can't help but envy."
The voice below resembled that of a well-known host.
The fat man leaned over the edge of the cage, trying to get a better look but still couldn't see clearly; he only felt that the woman was dressed in a bunny costume with two long white ears standing upright.
"How could anything be this good?"
The girl in the opposite cage seemed unimpressed and scoffed, "Gold falling from the sky for no reason? I don't believe it; go trick someone else."
"Of course it's not for nothing! You all have to work hard. In the next half hour, you will need to answer four extremely difficult intelligence questions. It's a race! Whoever answers correctly first will win gold bars worth tens of thousands of yuan!"
The bunny girl seemed skilled at building excitement. "You might have already realized it, but you are actually special guests on the thrilling show called Brawl for Gold, which claims to have the highest ratings! Alright, time is money; the answering time officially begins now!"
Brawl for Gold? I've never heard of this show. Highest ratings? The fat man felt a bit confused.
But time waits for no one; the bunny girl's questions had already begun.
"Now there are two rooms, one room has three incandescent lamps, and the other room has a Switch that controls these three lamps. Now you have to enter each of these two rooms once, and then determine which Switch controls these three lamps. Can you figure it out?" The bunny girl looked at the question board in her hand and reminded, "Pay attention, friendly reminder point one, these two rooms are separated and have no connection; friendly reminder point two, each room can only be entered once. Now, the quick answer begins!" A buzzing sound was heard somewhere in the room, as if counting down. "Uh... why do I feel like I've seen this question somewhere before?" The girl in the cage opposite was still hesitating, but the fat man had already started to reason out the answer. It is impossible to know the corresponding relationship between the three lamps and the Switch simply by using the Switch method. Therefore, we can only start from other aspects, that is to say, this question is actually an intellectual twist. The host emphasized that it was an incandescent lamp in the question, which means that the solution to the question is hidden in the characteristics of the incandescent lamp. In addition to Switch, what other characteristics does the incandescent lamp have? If you put an incandescent lamp in your mouth, you can't take it out! The fat man cursed in his heart, this is not a comedy show. There is only one table lamp in the fat man's basement, and the power supply is secretly connected to the restaurant upstairs. On cold winter nights, if the quilt is not warm enough, the fat man will turn on the table lamp. The incandescent bulb will get hot after being on for a long time. The fat man uses this to warm his hands. Yes, this is the key to the question! "First walk into the room with Switch, and number the three Switch as A, B, and C. Turn on Switch A for 10 minutes, then turn off A; then turn on B, and then immediately walk to the room with the light. The light that is on in this room is controlled by Switch B. Immediately touch the other two lamps with your hand. The hot incandescent lamp is controlled by Switch A, and the cold bulb is controlled by Switch C."
The chubby man finished speaking in one breath, his tone laced with a hint of confidence.
"Congratulations! This guest answered correctly," the bunny girl cheered, and in response, a sparse round of applause echoed from somewhere, sounding entirely perfunctory.
"This gentleman who answered correctly can receive our first Golden Grand Prize!" The bunny girl snapped her fingers.
Suddenly, from above the chubby man's cage, through the gaps in the railing, a golden block the thickness of a finger fell out of thin air.
The falling strip hit the metal bottom of the cage, producing a pleasant clinking sound.
The chubby man excitedly picked up a piece and felt it in his hands: it was cold to the touch, heavy in weight, and its dazzling golden color made it hard for him to open his eyes. He mimicked a scene from television and bit down on it; it was slightly soft. He had heard that real gold was like this—soft and malleable but wouldn’t lose its color.
"This gentleman is quite suspicious. Don’t worry, the purity of this gold is five nines. If you’re still concerned, we can provide a certificate of authenticity and an invoice later," the bunny girl teased him.
"Ah..." sighed a girl from inside the cage with regret. "How come someone as smart as me didn’t think of that answer?"
The chubby man hurriedly gathered all the gold bars—about twenty pieces in total—estimating they weighed around a kilogram. That was worth two hundred thousand yuan! Suddenly, he felt a bit breathless and dizzy.
This was unbelievable! Why could he receive over a hundred thousand yuan worth of gold just for answering such a simple question? How could such good fortune fall into his lap?
The feeling of happiness persisted until he noticed that his cage was slowly descending.
