Chapter 86 Strategy
"Guess?" Shen Xia asked with a smile.
Yan'er asked the question that everyone wanted to know.
"Just watch!" After saying that, Shen Xia put all ten discs on.
Everyone was surprised and ordered ten directly.
so smart.
Because everyone has just tried it themselves. This seems simple, but you will find out when you play it that it is not that easy.
Then Shen Xia's hands were seen moving back and forth among the three pillars without stopping in between. After a while, they were moved in place.
Everyone couldn't believe that she could move so fast, and she could move ten floors at that.
Looking at everyone's surprised eyes.
Shen Xia smiled and said, "I play this thing often, so the tenth level is no problem for me. And there is a secret to this."
When everyone heard that there was a secret, they all wanted to hear it!
"Sister Shen, please tell me, what is the secret?" Yan'er shouted happily.
This is really fun. Once I learn this, I can go back to Beijing and defeat my friends.
It makes me happy just thinking about it!
Shen Xia spoke in everyone's expectant eyes: "Single left, double right, small first then big, one step, two steps, repeat over and over again."
Seeing that everyone didn't quite understand, Shen Xia explained it again carefully: "Single left, double right: when the number of layers to be moved is an odd number, the first layer can be moved directly to the target column; when the number of layers is an even number, the first layer needs to be moved to the transition column first."
"Small first, then large: Each time you move, you should move the smaller disc first, then the larger disc, making sure no larger disc is on top of the smaller disc."
"One step, two steps: Each operation consists of two steps, the first step is to move all the disks except the largest disk to the transition column, and the second step is to move the largest disk to the target column."
"Repeat: The whole process repeats the above steps until all the disks are moved to the target column."
This formula is not only applicable to the 10-layer Tower of Hanoi, but also to the Tower of Hanoi problem with any number of layers.
By following this formula, you can systematically solve the Tower of Hanoi problem. Although the steps may seem complicated, you can eventually solve it successfully through constant repetition and patience.
Then Shen Xia told everyone the secret, teaching and practicing at the same time. Of course, the adults understood it suddenly, but the children needed some time to digest it.
Then everyone learned Shen Xia’s secret and all of them could reach the tenth level.
Everyone was able to reach the tenth floor, and the three children were the happiest.
But adults like Song Yun and Zheng Jinshu feel uncomfortable with the same grades as the children.
Song Yun then asked, "Are there any more floors?"
Shen Xia looked at him: "No, the highest one is ten floors."
"Oh." Song Yun compromised.
Seeing how much the child liked the toy, Gu Ziyan was also very happy.
This is not a toy for fun, but a toy for developing IQ. This is the first time I have heard of a toy that can develop IQ.
Looking at Shen Xia, he liked her even more: "Sister, thank you so much, this toy is worth a thousand gold."
"Those are just some small items. How can they compare to what my sister gave me?" Shen Xia said modestly.
Then he assembled the Tower of Hanoi and handed it to Yan'er.
Xiaowu and Xiaotian looked envious.
Shen Xia looked at him and said, "Don't worry, you will have it in the future too."
"Okay," they both said in unison.
"Sister, I want to play for a while." Yan'er said.
"Yan'er, come and play later. Sister will teach you something else! Don't you want to learn?" Shen Xia looked at Yan'er with a smile.
When Yan'er heard there was something else, she danced with joy and said, "I must learn it."
Shen Xia picked up the large wooden box next to him.
Everyone stared at the box on the table, curious about what would be inside when it was opened.
After Shen Xia put it on the table and opened it, everyone looked at the pattern on the wooden board curiously.
All waiting for Shen Xia to introduce
Shen Xia looked at the first template, introduced the name of the game and how to play it, and then let Yan'er and Xiaotian play a game, making sure Yan'er would learn it.
Because we can teach him at any time, but Yan'er doesn't have much time to teach him.
Of course, as his mother, Gu Ziyan also studied very seriously.
Because she found that some toys are not only for children to play with, but also for adults.
What a surprise.
What surprised everyone the most was that Shen Xia not only taught Yan'er how to play, but also taught him strategies.
For example, chess, military chess, Gobang, etc. Shen Xia taught the three children how to capture the king first, how to make a feint to the east and attack the west, what is "besiege Wei to save Zhao", and how to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot. The children don't know how much they have learned.
Zheng Jinshu and Song Yun next to them learned more.
As the legitimate daughter of a duke, Gu Ziyan still had to learn some strategies, and she was surprised at Shen Xia's teaching method.
Now thinking about it, Yan'er's accident, meeting Shen Xia, and everything that happened today, it was really a great opportunity.
What Shen Xia taught may not be taught by the teachers in the academy, and it is unknown how much the child has learned.
Fortunately, I learned a lot.
But how could such a talented person be trapped in these mountains?
No wonder my younger brother looks at me differently.
He really has a unique perspective when looking at his younger brother.
When no one was paying attention, Zheng Jinshu and Gu Ziyan looked at each other with admiration in their eyes.
In Song Yun's eyes, Shen Xia has always been special, but not to the extent that he would look up to her. But this time it was different.
Her strategy is actually not inferior to mine, this is not such a simple thing.
Now it seems that she looks pretty good. Maybe it’s because she didn’t take care of herself before, so her skin is not very good, but her facial features are lively and she is well educated.
She is good at drawing and writing, and I have seen that she is not inferior to the young ladies from wealthy families. The key is strategy!
Even as the legitimate mother of an aristocratic family, this kind of social skill is still presentable.
Look, one is a lady from an aristocratic family and the other is a country girl, but they can have a very pleasant conversation when sitting together.
Did you miss something?
At this time, Zheng Jinshu next to him said, "Miss Shen, do you still have this game box?"
"No more, do you want it?" Shen Xia said.
Zheng Jinshu nodded embarrassedly.
"No problem, but I don't have it now. I'll send it to you when I have time." Shen Xia said politely.
To Shen Xia, Zheng Jinshu was at least a county magistrate. Although not a high-ranking official, a county magistrate was not as good as a county governor.
As long as I live here, I will have to deal with them more or less in the future, and three of them will go to the county to study in the future, so these relationships will always be useful.
So I would definitely not refuse such a small request.
There are nine types of games in the box. After teaching them all, I still have to play two more rounds, and two hours are gone.
Gu Ziyan saw that it was getting late and said, "Sister, that's all for today. I will take the child back."
"Okay, Sister Gu, I won't keep you here since my humble abode is so simple. I'll invite you to visit me after the new house is built," Shen Xia invited politely.
"Okay, I've spent the whole day at my sister's place today. It really feels like we met too late. Both me and Yan'er have benefited a lot." Gu Ziyan said very sincerely.
"Things there are just little tricks."
Shen Xia saw that it was indeed getting late, so he asked his sister to wait for a moment, went back to his room, picked up the two bags of dragon beard cakes and came out.
Shen Xia saw them out.
Song Yun was worried, so he went out with them.
At this time, Gu Ziyan smiled and said, "Fourth Master, my sister and I have a few words to talk about in the boudoir, so——"
