“Then, the man left behind 10 wen to express his gratitude. How will the two of them divide the 10 wen?”
Liu Wuji listened and wrote down the questions quickly.
The question was not complicated. Liu Wuji understood the meaning of the question as soon as he finished writing it.
But after reading it, he was a little stunned.
The question was clear, but it gave off a strange feeling.
The two of them caught different amounts of fish, but in the end, a freeloader came.
However, he gave 10 wen.
How?
The 10 wen would be distributed according to the contributions of the two people?
In this case, A would get 6 wen, B would get 4 wen.
But was the question really that simple?
“Have you calculated the answer?” Lin Xiaoyue asked Liu Wuji with a smile.
Liu Wuji looked at Lin Xiaoyue and felt that the problem could not be so simple.
He frowned and was about to continue thinking.
In the end, they saw Mo Fei and the others stop what they were doing and look in their direction.
The Imperial Advisor’s furrowed brows relaxed.
“Alright, come over. Let’s see if we can solve her question.” Then, he said to everyone.
There was still plenty of time, topic selection was not difficult. They could do that later.
However, the question that the girl had asked was very interesting.
When everyone heard the Imperial Advisor’s words, their faces were filled with joy.
Then, they hurried over to the two of them.
“In the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, everyone will announce the results in turn.” When everyone was present, the Imperial Advisor spoke.
Everyone agreed.
Then, he looked at the questions on the table and began to think.
Just like the Imperial Advisor, they all felt a little strange.
Finally, it was about time.
“Alright, tell us your answers.”
Everyone looked at each other.
Then, the Sixth Princess spoke first.
“A gets 6 wen, B gets 4 wen.” She looked at Lin Xiaoyue with uncertainty.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and didn’t say anything.
The Imperial Advisor’s expression fluctuated slightly, but he did not express his opinion.
He then looked at Liang Chengcai and Mo Fei.
“What about you guys?”
Liang Chengcai and Mo Fei looked at each other and spoke hesitantly.
“My answer is the same as the Sixth Princess.”
“Mine as well.” Mo Fei also said with some uncertainty.
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes widened. She didn’t expect that all three of them would answer wrongly.
Just as she was about to say the answer, the Imperial Advisor spoke.
“But my answer is, A gets 8 wen, B gets 2 wen.”
Lin Xiaoyue was shocked and quickly looked at Liu Wuji.
“How is it? Am I right?” The old man asked Lin Xiaoyue with a smile.
Lin Xiaoyue felt her heart skip a beat as she hurriedly nodded.
“That’s right!”
When the Sixth Princess and the other two heard this, they were all shocked.
“A gets 8 wen, B gets 2 wen. Please enlighten me!” The Sixth Princess hurriedly asked Liu Wuji.
Liang Chengcai and Mo Fei also looked at Liu Wuji with admiration.
They all believed that the Imperial Advisor’s answer was correct.
There was a strange energy to this question. There must be something mysterious about it.
The Imperial Advisor must have noticed something.
Lin Xiaoyue also smiled and looked at Liu Wuji, waiting for his answer.
“This question isn’t complicated,” Liu Wuji said with a smile.
“The third person gave 10 wen, but he only gave the amount he ate.”
“If the three of them eat together, then all the fish added up will be worth 30 wen.”
“5 fish for 30 wen. Each fish is worth 6 wen.”
“3 fish is worth 18 wen. B offered 2 fish, the total value is 12 wen.”
“Then, they each ate the value of 10 wen. This way, A should have 8 wen, and B should have 2 wen.”
“This is the answer.”
Everyone listened to the Imperial Advisor’s explanation and understood it.
He marveled at the Imperial Advisor’s clear thinking and blamed themselves for being stupid.
It was very simple.
But why couldn’t they solve such a simple question?
Lin Xiaoyue also looked at the Imperial Advisor with bright eyes.
“What do you think of this question?” She smiled and asked the Imperial Advisor.
Since Mo Fei, Liang Chengcai, and the Sixth Princess couldn’t answer it, it should be selected.
After all, it was impossible for everyone to be like the Imperial Advisor, who had a clear train of thought and answered the questions accurately..
