Chapter 386 The Same Question? (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)

The most famous motto of Ravenclaw House is, "Excellent wisdom is mankind's greatest wealth."

Whether it is the eagle ring, the students, or even the style and environment of the college, they all show their desire for knowledge, as well as their unfettered and unconstrained wisdom and thoughts like the sky.

However, in addition to this, Elena happened to have heard another sentence-mathematics is the most brilliant pearl in the crown of human wisdom.

Throughout the long history of human civilization, at least half of the philosophical thinking and questions have a wonderful connection with certain mathematical logic. In fact, a few hundred years ago, people called mathematics natural philosophy.

"We are not embarrassing the students, we are just passing on knowledge and letting the light of philosophical thinking shine in the Ravenclaw common room again..."

Elena looked at Xenophilius Lovegood with straight eyes, shook her head, and said with a chuckle.

Just now, she slightly updated the question bank of the Bronze Eagle Ring and told several interesting logical stories.

After several communications with the bronze eagle ring, Elena initially determined that Ravenclaw's eagle ring is actually more similar to a relatively primitive primary AI - it has a certain ability to think, as well as information entry and judgment. , output function.

This means that it is not capable of autonomous deduction of complex mathematical tasks.

In other words, if you want Eagle Ring to propose the Barber Paradox, also known as Russell's Paradox, she first needs to help Eagle Ring complete at least one standard answer to this question - for example, fully elaborate on Gödel's incompleteness theorem. ——Only in order for the Bronze Eagle Ring to add "Barber's Paradox" to the question bank in "Built-in Logic".

Of course, if she really did that, Ravenclaw students might not be able to sleep in the dormitory again this year.

So after Elena thought about it for a while, she still chose to start instilling it from some more basic places. After all, the mathematical foundation of most young wizards at Hogwarts may not reach the average level of European primary school graduates.

"I still don't understand. Is there really a village in this world that can only tell lies and the truth?"

Xenophilius Lovegood rubbed his forehead and tried hard to think about one of the classic questions that Elena had just "updated" for the Bronze Eagle Ring - standing at the fork in the road, the two people responsible for guiding the way had only one chance to ask questions. What should I ask if...

"Of course it does." Elena nodded without hesitation, "In other words, you understand that the people in one village drink all the truth serum every day, while the people in the other village drink all the lie potion every day. That’s it.”

"Lie potion? What is that? Why didn't I know there was such a thing..."

Xenophilius raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"Oh, if only you understood it as a magic potion that is the opposite of Veritaserum."

Elena waved her hand and casually confused the potion she had made up on the spur of the moment.

Anyway, the world is full of wonders. It is always more difficult to prove that something does not exist than to prove that something exists.

As Einstein famously said: "Science can only prove existence, but cannot prove non-existence. If you can't prove something that doesn't exist, you can't prove that it doesn't exist."

And when all this happens in the magical world, the Lovegood family and "The Quibbler" are undoubtedly the most appropriate cases - whether it is the "Crescent-Horned Snorlax", the "Haunting Frog", or some "Moon Frog" ", "Giant with octopus tentacles", it's all the same.

Click.

Just as Xenophilius Lovegood continued to search hard for information about the "Poison of Lies" in his mind, he only heard a soft sound of the door closing in front of him, and a sentence floated through the crack in the door. words that come out.

"Luna, come, let me show you the Ravenclaw lounge."

"Huh? Wait..."

Xenophilius Lovegood raised his head in confusion and looked around.

At some point, Elena had already pulled his precious little moon through the open eagle ring door, walked into the Ravenclaw common room, and... also closed the door again? !

But fortunately, if Xenophilius Lovegood remembers correctly, although Ravenclaw Academy's Eagle Ring will have some troublesome questions from time to time, it will not change too many times in the same day. topic.

At least within such a short period of time, it should still be the same problem.

Without thinking much, Xenophilius Lovegoods quickly knocked on the bronze eagle ring. He was not worried about his daughter being alone in a room with a little wizard who didn't know his details, even if the other person was just a little lolita who was only 1.2 meters tall. Same.

And just as he remembered, the bronze eagle ring opened its mouth and said again in a gentle voice:

"There are a certain number of three-headed dogs and phoenixes locked in a room at the same time, counting from the top..."

"The answer is thirteen phoenixes and eleven three-headed dogs."

Before Bronze Eagle Ring could finish reading the title, Xenophilius Lovegood frowned and quickly interrupted.

Even though he didn't know how he came up with this answer, it didn't stop him from remembering Elena's correct answer just now.

In fact, this is what Ravenclaw House has always done - as long as one smart person solves the puzzle, everyone can successfully enter the lounge.

However, to his surprise, this time, the door to the common room did not open as he remembered.

"...Sixty-four heads from the top, and one hundred and ten legs from the bottom. How many three-headed dogs and how many phoenixes are there in the room?"

"???"

The expression on Xenophilius Lovegood's face froze again. Although at first glance, it seemed to be the same question as before, but if you think about it carefully, there seems to be something wrong with the current situation?

Then, as if in response to the confusion in Xenophilius' heart.

I saw the bronze eagle ring that had accompanied the middle-aged wizard for seven years in school opened his mouth again and continued to add in that gentle, musical voice.

"Sorry, wrong answer."

"???"

Xenophilius Lovegood's originally bulging eyes widened even more, and his gaze subconsciously crossed the row of light blue velvet sleeping bags hanging on the wall of the corridor below, a very bad one. A guess suddenly appeared in his mind - if this question was indeed regarded as the "same" question by Eagle Ring, then...

Sure enough, the next moment, the bronze eagle ring's mouth was heard to be as gentle as ever, but it was repeated like a devil's whisper.

"There are a certain number of three-headed dogs and phoenixes locked in a room at the same time. There are one hundred and twenty-five heads counted from the top..."
