Cheating Games
A Strategy



"First, in this one team, we need 8 people. In short we only need six more people besides you and me. Everyone needs to choose according to plan."


"Plan??"


"The first round starts with 22 people, right? At that time, our team will do this, four people will choose Yes, the other four will choose No."


"So you're saying, we split into two groups of four and each one stays in the group's choice?"


"But we don't know how the other fourteen people will choose.... Hmmm, just think of the scenario like this.. With all four teams the other players will be 7:7, and they will be required to repeat the round. So, the most likely limit is to divide the choice into 6:8."


In short:


Daniel's 4-member group will vote Yes. Alice's 4-member group will vote No. Meanwhile, such as other players 6 people will choose Yes, the rest of the other players will choose No which amounts to 8. So, Daniel's group will advance to the next round, as well as other players who have become a minority. The total number of players will be 10.


Note: 'Other players' here are described as players who are not Daniel and Alice's team.


"Of the ten who won, four would be our "New" team. Then, once again our team will split the options 2 Yes - 2 No. Do you realize what would happen if the choice was close?" *Daniel


"Because there are 6 other players left, it becomes 2 to 4." *Alice.


"Next half, four players left, 2 of them our team, and of course our team will divide the choice 1 Yes, 1 No. Then what happened?" *daniel.


"Yes.. Because our team chose like that, if they choose 1:1 the round will be repeated, so only 0:2 left .... Eh...?? Uh..! We're gonna win!! Someone from our team will survive at any cost!!" Alice widened her eyes in surprise that there was a strategy to win this game.


"Even if our small simulation assumes the nearest case, if the options are more spread out, then we will win faster. Either way, our team will win."


In short:


If another player chooses Yes there is a total of 5,


While the rest chose there were no 9 in total. Daniel's team will win the game faster. This strategy if there are no problems or constraints. There will only be a draw or a win, so there will be no loss. Yet...


"From 2.1 billion, half will be used by the winner if he announces the decision to exit. What remains is 1.05 billion. Since the seven losing members of our team will each be in debt of 100 million, 1.05 billion minus the remaining 700 million total of 350 million. We'll split it evenly between us. How much would it be?"


Daniel asked a slight smile with his chin propped up in his palm looking straight at Alice's face. Alice hurriedly took her hp to count on the calculator.


"43 million 750 thousand per person!! More than 40 million each! We can all get out!! It's amazing!! You are amazing!! It's gonna work! Daniel, you're the greatest!" Alice snapped her finger then stood up and jumped² little happy like a child. He walked quickly towards Daniel and held his hand and was willing to embrace him, fortunately it was held back by Daniel, according to Daniel still too soon to feel happy.


"Hey-hey calm down a bit.." Daniel was a little troubled and awkward with Alice who was currently feeling uncontrollable pleasure. A few moments later, the situation calmed down.


"We are not yet out of worry." Daniel stroked his chin slowly, his face looking worried about something. Alice tilted her head in astonishment.


"Why?"


"Think why I'm here.."


"Oh that!! You mean the guy who stole 100 million and sneaked?" Alice closed her mouth in surprise as she only realized that.


"Bingo. Let's call him "X" for a while. "X" Watching Us from the crowd. He is certainly not the one who belongs here. At first, he tricked someone without a second thought and stole their money. Clearly, someone who was extremely cruel and courageous. And worse, he was practically holding a blank check of 100 million. If the players here lose, they will get a debt of 100 million. Not so for x. If he loses, he will only pay for it. He has no risk. Which makes him the only person here who isn't afraid to lose. My plan is based on the fact that not only will everyone hold their sayings and vote correctly, but the winner will split the money with the team. So in short, there should be no traitors on our team. That's why we should avoid including "X" in our team."


"So... What's she like??"


"Well.. The girl I met said everything happened so fast, she couldn't remember well. Except for one thing, "he's a young man" he said."


"That's it??"


Daniel nodded slowly, that was the only clue to who the "X is".


"There was a straight-faced man who ignored me when I tried to talk to him, number 12. Then the opposite, there is a lot of talk, number 2. An employee who works in the sales department.. Number 5, he wears rectangular glasses and he is quite young as well. Number 9 told me she wasn't even 20 yet. Number 13 seems to be very mature. He was still a student and had slightly slanted eyes. Number 1 says a few years ago he went to the ball stadium. Number 6... He has a strong body, is tall and has no hair. I was afraid to get close, but I thought he might be quite young. Oh yeah, and number 8 he's very young, about still High School. Number 11 was a very friendly guy, Riordan, but it might mean "X". Oh yeah, there's also that suspicious guy. Number 15, the guy with the sunglasses," Alice explained, she tried to remember and describe the characteristics of the players she spoke to.


"Oahh!! It's impossible! We can't figure out who he is with this little bit of information!" Alice resignedly, she leaned on the sofa while holding her forehead, occasionally she knocked the small² of her forehead trying to think hard.


"Wait...! No, we can do it! Stay away from young men!" Suddenly Alice said quite loudly while rising from her seat, Daniel was surprised by Alice's rapid change in behavior.


"Daniel! Form a team! A team that won't include him at all costs!"


"What do you mean?!"


"Remember the training today? That's when I realized it! Out of the 22 players, there are only 5 women besides me!"


"5 women, hmmm.. Even if we include them all, we still lack 1 person."


"No problem! We include no 4, the manager! There was no way the girl had mistaken him as a young man! Don't you? So that's 8! Our team is complete!"


"Well... I guess so...."


"All right! I'll go to the lobby to find our members! I think they should all still be there!" Alice said excitedly as she walked out of the room, not even Daniel who wanted to say anything could.


"Wait!" But too late, Alice did not hear it and was out of the room, her running footsteps heard in Daniel's ears, which slowly began to move away.


An Hour Later...


Geck! Geck! Geck!


"(Surely he!)" Daniel murmured as he stared at the door, he heard a few footsteps in front of the door. "Seek Only.. Not locked.." Daniel shouted from the inside, sure enough, before long Alice opened the door and saw some people who also entered.


"Daniel! I brought them!"


Number 3 - Aiko Akemi is a night worker.


Number 10 - Akane Hanoko works in several part-time jobs.


Number 18 - Hosoe Jyun company employee.


Number 14 - Ichika Hanae enters the school of majors.


Number 7 - Makihara Yukino as a housewife.


Number 4 - Dipa Cahyadi factory manager.


"Se-seriously? You really got them all..." Daniel is surprised to not believe that Alice is able to bring them here, even though Daniel has not told Alice how to get them to come here for no apparent reason.


"This girl kept saying, "if you don't come, I'll die!" With tears in my eyes, kneeling before me." Aiko said a little uncomfortable and felt strange to Alice.


"Dead?? Crying out.... Kneeling??" Daniel glanced slowly at Alice who was beside him who was feeling embarrassed.


"Yeah... This is not the time to think about looks!" Alice refutes trying to change the topic so that she is not talked about anymore.


"Well, you're right.. We can't spend much longer." Daniel agreed. Alice breathed a sigh of relief.


"All right! Listen everyone! We're going to practice!"


Seriate....
