Chapter 1836 Illiteracy

1836

"Why did I cheat people? As the president of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, will I cheat you?" Xu Taiping asked with a frown.

"Why don't you trick people? Take a look at these multiple-choice questions yourself. Each multiple-choice question has seven options. How can it be called a multiple-choice question? Why don't you trick us?" Zhang Yuande picked up the paper and pointed at it. said the topic excitedly.

Everyone in the venue looked at Zhang Yuande's paper. Sure enough, as Zhang Yuande said, every question on it had seven options.

For a multiple-choice question with seven options, the probability of getting it right is really low!

"How come the seven-option multiple-choice question is not a multiple-choice question? Moreover, in order to make it easier for you to be fooled, every question is a double-choice question. It is a double-choice question with seven options. This was very common in our previous exams. It is often encountered that if you choose two out of seven, it must be easier than choosing one out of four, right? Do your own calculations to see if this is true!" Xu Taiping asked.

Xu Taiping's words made Zhang Yuande fall into deep thought, because Zhang Yuande was not good at mathematics, and he had never studied probability. What made him better than an illiterate person was that he had learned a little Chinese in Wudang Mountain, so he could read. He understands martial arts secrets, and he also learned some classical Chinese, because many secrets are written in classical Chinese. Zhang Yuande is not good at mathematics, but he can still do basic arithmetic. According to Xu Taiping, choose one from four, seven Choose two, no matter how you look at it, it is easier to choose two out of seven, right? Otherwise, if you choose one out of four, then you should choose two out of eight with the same difficulty, right? This is the most basic division.

"It's better to answer the questions first, Yuande. I think it would be easier to choose two out of seven." A Wudang elder said in a low voice. It was obvious that this elder was not good at math either.

"Yes, yes, choosing two out of seven is definitely easier than choosing one out of four." The elders around them said one after another.

It can be seen that there are still many people in the Wu-Tang Clan who are not good at mathematics.

"Okay..." Zhang Yuande nodded, then put the paper on the table, then picked up the pen and started reviewing the questions.

Zhou Weidao on the side looked at Zhang Yuande and others with his mouth slightly open.

Are these Wudang Clan idiots? The probability of choosing one out of four is 25%. The probability of choosing two out of seven is one in twenty-one. That probability is very high. Very low! Anyone who has studied probability should understand this. Even if you have not studied probability, you should know that if you choose two out of seven, the probability is definitely lower than the probability of choosing one out of four!

Zhou Weidao couldn't help but glance at Xu Taiping. President Xu was really clever. He probably knew that these Wudang Clan people were math idiots, so he deliberately asked such multiple-choice questions.

People in the Emei sect were also doubtful at first, but after hearing Xu Taiping's words, they all answered the questions with peace of mind. From this, it can be seen that many people in the Emei sect are not good at mathematics.

Of course, this is not to say that people in the two sects are all idiots, but this time, in order to securely regain the position of permanent director, the Emei Sect and the Wudang Sect have recruited elder-level figures from their own sects. , and these people are generally in their seventies or eighties. They have been immersed in martial arts almost since they were sensible. How can they know anything else?

Many of the committee members off the field were aware of the probability trap set by Xu Taiping, but no one said anything.

Although the Emei Sect of the Wudang Sect has spent money to win over many people, this is just to get everyone to withdraw from the election. In the final analysis, people in the Chinese martial arts community are still very disgusted with the Emei Sect and the Wudang Sect, so no one will expose this trap. .

There are not many multiple-choice questions, only ten questions, mainly to test everyone's business operation ability.

Soon, everyone had completed the questions and handed in the papers.

Xu Taiping immediately sent people to conduct public reviews, and the results came out quickly.

Ten questions, each worth one point. Qiushuimen got nine points, Yanmingfang got six points, and the Emei Sect got two points. It was obvious that they had better luck. As for the people of the Wudang Sect, they were a little less lucky. , took a zero egg.

After knowing that they had got a zero, the Wudang Clan people finally figured it out. They must have been tricked by Xu Taiping. Otherwise, with the probability of choosing one out of four, there is no way they would have scored zero on ten questions. And now , choose two out of seven, they got zero points for ten questions, which proves that the probability of choosing two out of seven is much lower than the probability of choosing one out of four!

"Xu Taiping, you are cheating!!" Zhang Yuande shouted excitedly.

"Where did I cheat? When the results came out, someone got nine points, which proves that these questions are not difficult. You Wudang Clan got zero points, which only shows that you Wudang Clan people don't know how to operate. If you are allowed to become permanent One of the directors, you cannot provide any help to the operation of the Chinese Martial Arts Association!" Xu Taiping said.

"When the time comes, the operation can be handed over to specialized people. Why do we need to operate it ourselves?!" Zhang Yuande asked.

"If you don't understand operations at all, how will you make decisions when you need to make decisions? If you hand over all the operations of the association to outsiders, what will you, the permanent director, do?" Xu Taiping asked.

"you…"

"Okay, stop arguing. I think President Xu is right. The permanent director is responsible for managing the entire association. Naturally, he must know some operational knowledge." The leader of the sports association said calmly.

As soon as the leader opened his mouth, Zhang Yuande had no choice but to shut up. The Wudang Clan was very powerful, but it was nothing in front of the leaders of the Sports Federation. If you offended the leader, you would not be allowed to participate in the Wudang Clan. Any sporting event, that's enough for you Wu-Tang Clan to drink.

"Secretary-General, please announce the rankings of the first round!" Xu Taiping said calmly.

"Yes, President!" Zhou Weidao nodded, and then said loudly, "The first round of the election is over, Qiushui Sect ranks first with four points, Yanmingfang is second with three points, and Emei Sect is third. , get two points, Wu-Tang Clan is last, get one!”

"This bastard Zhou Weidao, it's okay to say that we are fourth, but he insists on saying that we are last!" Zhang Yuande cursed in a low voice through gritted teeth.

"Calm down, Yuande, this is just the first round. The next one will definitely be inseparable from the martial arts competition. When the time comes, we will definitely take back our first place!" an elder of the Wudang Sect advised.

"Well! We must let Qiushuimen and Yanmingfang take a good look at our strength when the time comes!" Zhang Yuande said coldly.

"Next, it's our second round of competition!" Zhou Weidao said with a smile, "Our second round is the oral examination, and the competition is about thinking and eloquence!"

boom!

With a loud noise, Zhang Yuande slammed the table and stood up.

"Master Zhang, what are you doing?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.

"Forget the first round of written examinations, this second round is about thinking and eloquence. Are we still running for the permanent director of the Chinese Martial Arts Association? Is this to select company managers? Xu Taiping, do you really think that the Chinese Martial Arts Association can do whatever it takes? Are you playing like this?" Zhang Yuande said through gritted teeth.

"Master Zhang, don't be impulsive, just listen to me!" Xu Taiping said with a smile, "As the influence of our Chinese Martial Arts Association grows day by day, we will inevitably face conflicts with various countries and martial arts groups. Communication, at this time, as permanent directors, you must have extraordinary thinking and eloquence, so that when you go out later and face martial arts groups from other countries, you can better communicate with them, so , I specially chose such a competition event."

"Shouldn't communication be done with fists? Should we communicate with our mouths?" Zhang Yuande asked.

"Fistes are certainly a part of communication, but the most important part is the mouth. Fighting will inevitably damage harmony, but good eloquence and quick thinking will make up for the harm. We have to communicate with others. Instead of going out to make enemies, fists, we have too many members in the Chinese Martial Arts Association, so many members, everyone can make fists, but since you are a permanent director, you should stand at the height of coordinating the overall situation and coordinate the overall situation. For the overall situation, we should rely more on eloquence and thinking, so there are no problems with my project!" Xu Taiping said.

Xu Taiping's words made the committee members present nod their heads. They all thought that Xu Taiping was right. What they wanted to elect this time was a permanent director, not a security guard of the martial arts association. The permanent director is in a high position. If he shouts all day long, What does it mean to fight and kill?

Zhang Yuande's old face turned blue and white at Xu Taiping's words. He was completely unable to refute Xu Taiping's words, because in his opinion, what Xu Taiping said was reasonable, but this kind of reasonableness refers to It makes sense to Xu Taiping, and it makes sense to others, but to him in the Wudang Clan, it just doesn't make sense.

For so many years, it has always been whoever has the bigger fist becomes the permanent director. Now Xu Taiping wants to give the permanent director more functions, so he has to examine more things. The Wudang Clan was not prepared for these before, and now they have to deal with them. , that is simply impossible.

"If you don't accept this competition, you will be counted as the last one." Xu Taiping said.

"We...accept it!" Zhang Yuande gritted his teeth and said. They had already come in last place once. No matter what happened this time, they couldn't take last place, otherwise they would have no hope at all.

"Since you accept it, let's get started. Next, our secretary-general will simulate some scenarios, and then you will respond to the situation in the scenario. Who responds well and who responds poorly can be seen at a glance and answer the questions. In order, just follow the ranking just now, the one ranked last comes first!" Xu Taiping said calmly.

Hearing Xu Taiping's words, Zhang Yuande was about to spit out his blood. If he was asked to come first, he wouldn't even be given a chance to learn from other people's experiences!

This Xu Taiping is really planning to kill the Wudang Clan!
