Chapter 1060

"Team Jiang," you said

"Ji Yaohua, originally I wanted to get your so-called" statement "as soon as possible, but now I've changed my mind. I want to tell you a story first."

Turning around, I motioned to Qiu Meng, Fang ya, Jing Yu and others, "this case has made people tired physically and mentally. Do you want to hear me tell stories?"

"Say what you like, and no one will stop you!"

Qiu Meng frowned and seemed slightly dissatisfied that I was still in the mood to tell a story to the prisoner.

However, since even she did not object directly, others would not say anything, so I opened my mouth with a smile.

"There is a small kingdom on the island. The king locked up a group of prisoners. One day, he decided to kill them all."

Qiu Meng interjected and asked, "team Jiang, are you telling fairy tales?"

"Not really."

I thought about it and answered, "it's a logical story."

"Then you go on."

"However, the king made a very strange rule: kill a prisoner every day, but before execution, he allowed the prisoner to say a word, so as to choose his own way of death."

"What's that?" Fang Ya asked me, "how do I seem to have heard this story?"

"Just say a word, as long as you can judge the truth."

I didn't manage fangya. I went on to say to myself, "the king has restricted this rule: if the prisoner tells lies, he will be hanged; if he tells the truth, he will be beheaded by the executioner! Therefore, no matter what the prisoner says is true or false, he will die. The only difference is that he can choose his own way to die! "

Hearing this, Qiu Meng's face was gray and murmured, "it's cruel."

"Cruel?" I answered Qiu Meng in my mouth, but I took my eyes at Ji Yaohua and said in a soft voice, "if you commit a crime, you will be punished. The end is doomed at the moment when you commit a crime."

"You, go on." Although Qiu Meng's face was not good, he still asked me to speak quickly.

So I stopped talking and told the story at one go.

"For example, when it rains heavily, the prisoner who will be executed finally says," it's sunny today. "Then what he says is a lie and he will be hanged In this way, the king killed one person every day, and all the prisoners were beheaded or hanged. So the island prison is filled with a sense of sadness and despair, until one day, it's a wise man's turn to be executed. Seeing that he remained calm and even in a good mood, other prisoners asked, "Why are you not afraid of death?" The wise man replied, "how can I go? How can they send me back? Because I will say a word that they can't judge true or false!" Qiu Jian, Zhang DUI and Ji Yaohua, do you know what the wise man said? "

I turn my eyes to Ji Yaohua, because I know that she must know the answer, or at least can guess what the wise will say.

After a while, Qiu Meng shook his head and said to me, "if you don't think of anything, you can't judge whether it's true or not! Would he say what he had for lunch? But that doesn't seem to work. Just investigate and you'll know what the wise say is true or false. "

"Ji Yaohua, what do you say?" I asked Ji Yaohua, "do you know how a wise man escaped death?"

"Maybe, but I don't want to say it." Ji Yaohua said with a faint smile, "because I'm not sure whether my answer is the standard one."

I nodded, knowing that she didn't want to be too sharp. After all, if all the discipline didn't know the answer, but it came out of her mouth, wouldn't it be a hatred for herself?

"Well, for me," I said, clearing my throat, "the wise man said," I will be hanged! "

"I'm going to be hanged!"

Qiu Meng unconsciously repeated my words, "being hanged To tell lies is hanged, to tell the truth is beheaded Oh, I see! "

Looking at Ji Yaohua like a demonstration, Qiu Meng explained, "if this wise man is really hanged, the sentence that he said will be hanged is a fact and a truth! And according to the rules set by the king, to tell the truth is to be beheaded! However, if he is beheaded, the wise man's saying "I will be hanged" becomes a lie again, so according to the rules, I should be hanged again Well, I don't think it's such a mess. It's true that no matter hanging or beheading, it won't work. So the king had to put him back

"Team Jiang, is that the result?" Qiu Meng yelled at me excitedly, just like she was not a young woman, but a young girl in her prime of life.

I praised Qiu Meng for provoking big brother, saying, "leadership is leadership. In a word, high is indeed high!"

Qiu Meng was angry with me, "screw you, what are you talking about?"

As a result, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in this correctional lounge in the third prison district was a little strange. There was no freezing and confrontation mood at all. Instead, it was like a gathering of old friends who had a good chat.

I peeped at Ji Yaohua and found that her mouth was slightly up, and her face was even with a smile.Qiu Meng was very happy and asked me, "team Jiang, is this really happening in our life? No choice? How to choose will be contradictory? Is that so? "

"Yes!"

I nodded. "It's called Paradox in logic."! The story just now is called "the paradox between the king and the prisoner". Let me say a more famous one

Coughing together, under Qiu Meng's fierce gaze, I stubbornly lit a cigarette again and said, "there is a barber in the small town. He made a very strange rule. Listen to me: never give haircuts to those who cut their own hair! Is it like a tongue twister? For example, if you are a businessman, of course you don't cut your hair, so your hair can be cut by a barber. If you have the habit of cutting your hair, well, according to the rules set by him, a barber will not serve you So the question is... "

When I just said that, Qiu Meng's eyes brightened and said in a loud voice, "yes, the question is, who will cut the barber's own hair? Whether it's his own haircut or someone else's, it's against his rules, right? "

I nodded and said with a smile, "yes, we can see the essence through the phenomenon. Leadership is leadership. We have learned to answer quickly! Yes, this story is the famous "barber's paradox" in logic! In my opinion, he has to cut his hair as well as his hair, so maybe he can only shave his head! "

Knowing that I was telling a joke and that everyone was not bothered by my jokes, Jing Yu suddenly asked me, "team Jiang, what do you want to tell us about these two paradoxes?"

"Why should I tell these two stories?" So, with Jing Yu's question, I turned to Ji Yaohua and asked, "Ji Yaohua, what do you say?"
