Chapter 699 Incense and Stone

His demeanor is like the wind, but he has a bottom in his heart.

As for Prince Xiang's son's question, whether he could answer it or not, he didn't worry at all.

If you can't answer, just tell the truth.

He didn't bet with Prince Xiang's son on who could answer more, but who couldn't answer less.

Compared with his previous life experience, this big cheater, Prince Xiang's son is a god, and I'm afraid he can't even try to solve the brain-squeezing problem bank it has.

Although there are two questions, even if he can't answer them, he can still drain the opponent's question bank if he spends it over and over again.

Hearing Xu Yi's words, a stone fell from King Xiang's heart, and said with a smile, "Then I will ask Mr. Xu for advice. Now there is Jia Sheng, whose wife Qin is fierce, but cunning and clever, and often does strange tricks." It’s hard for Jia Sheng, Jia Sheng’s suffering is unspeakable, a month ago, the Naqin family made a move, Jia Sheng visited famous people in the city, but he still couldn’t understand it, now I’m asking Mr. Teach someone to be disappointed."

The much-anticipated literary meeting turned into a battle of wits. I don't know how many people sighed and secretly thought that a world-shattering battle was going on, and it turned into sour rice.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Prince Xiang's son said it, everyone's interest was aroused.

There are big people in the room, and on such an occasion, I suddenly heard the story of the shrew playing tricks on the scribes, and I felt a sense of curiosity and excitement spontaneously.

Even the Emperor Dayue on the throne called the red-robed eunuch on the left and said, "Unexpectedly, there is a shrew in the world, tsk tsk, compared to that Jia Sheng, I am like a flower bush, if there is a god to help..."

All eyes were on them, and they heard King Xiang's son say, "It's the day when Jia Sheng read it at night, and Mrs. Qin sent his maid to send two incense sticks, saying that Jia Sheng said, enter Xiyuan on time in one and a half hours, and one minute later Ten strokes of the cane, even one minute earlier, Jia Sheng endured the cane for three consecutive days, suffering unspeakably, so he searched for the wise men in the city, but they couldn't find the right way, so please solve it."

Qixian Incense is commonly used in the market. It has an elegant fragrance and a very small smoke smell. It is mostly used in the boudoir and study room to add elegance.

Strange incense sticks are formed quantitatively, and each stick of incense is accurate for an hour, which is recognized by the world.

Because of this, it is made of incense sticks, without wooden handles, and is placed in a silver tray for burning.

But after talking about the words of King Xiang's son, the audience was silent, and whispers suddenly started, and after a while, the whispers subsided.

Those who are used to whispering, also recalled that this question can never be as simple as imagined, otherwise how can it be difficult for a city of wise men.

According to common sense, two sticks of incense burn for two hours, now it is limited to one and a half hours, and it is enough to burn one and a half sticks of incense.

Obviously, the crux of the problem appeared in that half hour, that is, that half stick of incense.

After all, no matter how exquisite the potting method is, it is absolutely difficult to guarantee the absolute symmetry of the incense. A slight unevenness means that the true half of the incense stick is not in the middle of the incense stick.

After the whispers fell, Prince Xiang smiled and said, "Mr. Xu please, how long will it take, please tell me clearly."

This question is not difficult, but it is extremely difficult, mainly because of the way of thinking. He supported countless wise men in the palace of the prince, and it took him several days to solve this question. Unraveling, I'm afraid it can't be done in a short time.

But having said that, at this moment, there is no time for Mr. Xu to think carefully.

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, he heard Xu Yi say, "It's easy, you can reply to Jia Sheng. Next time Mrs. Qin will make things difficult for him and ask him to burn the second stick of incense. When the two ends are lit, when the incense is exhausted, it will burn for an hour and a half."

As soon as the words came out, Prince Xiang's son stared at Xu Yi like a monster, he never thought of this extremely difficult problem, how could he solve it easily when he came to this person, could it be that this person's head really does not belong to the world.

There was an uproar in the audience, and everyone was still thinking hard, but the answer had been revealed, and it was revealed so unbelievably.

Jiuru, who had already reached the preset location, stopped suddenly, dazed, "This man is a monster, a real monster."

The ghost master was stunned, and then sternly said: This thief will not be destroyed, the sky will die. "

The question about Prince Xiang's son is not difficult to say, easy to say is not easy, the key is to break the stereotyped thinking, but the thinking has become a stereotype, how can it be so easy to break!

Ordinary people only light incense from one side, but never thought about lighting incense from both sides. When encountering this problem, ordinary people mostly make up their minds on the scale. Just give the answer.

Unless this person often burns incense from both sides.

Since Xu Yi was not so eccentric as to light incense from both sides, he could solve this problem in an instant, not because of anything else, but because he had seen this problem before.

There are many such brain teasers in later generations to break the fixed thinking, similar to the burning rope, how can it be determined that the burning is just half of the rope.

This question looks complicated, but the core is just a variant of this question.

Xu Yi was naturally obvious at a glance.

"good!"

Emperor Dayue suddenly slapped the armrest of the throne hard, and exclaimed convulsively, "A talent is really a talent!"

Xu Yi slightly cupped his hands in the direction of the throne, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart. The expected protracted battle seemed to be avoidable. He smiled and said, "It seems that Xu got the answer right. Your Majesty, please ask the second question."

Prince Xiang's son never expected that the first-mover advantage of being the first to come up with the question and stand still disappeared in an instant.

He forced himself to calm down and thought to himself, but he only got one question right, judging from the speed of solving the problem, he had clearly heard of it before, let alone the second question, if he doesn't believe it, he can solve it, as long as it is difficult It is difficult for a poet to become a poet, and it will greatly improve his reputation.

Immediately, I heard him say, "Sir, you got the solution right. I really didn't expect you to have seen this problem before. It's considered your luck. Anyway, so-and-so came to ask the second question. It is said that a basin is filled with water, and a bowl is placed in the basin. Put a stone in a bowl, remove the stone from the bowl, and throw it into the basin. May I ask if the stone is in the bowl and the stone is in the plate, when will the water level soak into the porcelain bowl be higher?"

As soon as this problem came out, the audience was always quiet, but there was a lot of rustling, but many people took the banknotes, recorded the problem on the note, and outlined the solution by the way.

Obviously, the two sides battled wits, and the fun was unparalleled, which completely aroused everyone's interest.

"Sir, please answer. This question of the three-year-old Xiaoer, with the wisdom of the master, should be able to solve it in an instant."

Prince Xiang's son said so, but secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, if you can solve this problem, a certain person will take his head off and kick you like a ball.

It turns out that this question is simple to say, and it is almost a scene that can be seen in life. You don't even need to worry about it. You just need to take a basin, bowl, stone, and water, and try it in public, and you can get the answer instantly.

But it is extremely difficult to put this question in oral form and put it in the mind, trying to figure out the key points.

Unless someone is extremely bored, often learns children's games, or even bored enough to record the height of the waterline, he will never be able to easily determine the answer.
