3. Balloon

Game Rules

There are three colors of balloons, red, blue and yellow. Each blow will save $0.05, need to click to save before the balloon explosion, if too greedy play too much gas, the balloon will explode, a money cannot be saved. You need to save as much money as possible.


How to answer

  • The tipping point for exploding balloons of three colors is not the same and needs to be observed.

  • For example, the blue balloon may hit $1.25 or so will explode, then you need to click on the money when  $1.25 or so, too greedy explosion then no money. The critical point of the red balloon explosion is low, and it will explode when it hits about  $0.6, so you can't play too much. The critical point of the explosion of the yellow balloon is between blue and red.

  • Note: Not every student's balloon is blue and not easy to explode! Some are red, some are yellow, therefore, need to slowly test, each color of the balloon for the first time can play a little more, observe when the explosion, and then know which color can play more which less.

4. Money Exchange 2

Round 01

Game Rules

  • You and the other party have $5, one of them will get an extra $5 (the system randomly determines), usually you get the extra $5. Then you need to give the extra $5 to the other person in part (a multiple of 3, up to $5). You are then asked to judge if it is fair.


How to answer

  • You can take $2.5 to the other party, so you have $7.5, the other party also has $7.5, both win. When choosing whether it is fair, lean on the fair side.


Round 02

Game Rules

  • Exchange money with the second person, you and the other person have $5, one person gets extra $5 (the system decides), usually you get an extra $5, and then you have to choose whether to ask for money from the other party or you give money to the other party (multiple of 3, up to $5). Then decide if it's fair or not.


How to answer

  • At this time it is best to choose to send part of the money to the other party, because you have got an extra $5, now have $10, and the other party only $5, if you choose to charge the other party's money will appear you are more selfish, do not care for others, altruism is the test point of this game, so choose to send part of the money to the other party, such as you send $1, your final amount is $9, the other party has $8. (The amount you give is up to you, I won't give a specific amount here, depending on how selfless you are!) When it comes to judging fairness, stick to the fair side.

  • Note: The difference between big mouth and small mouth is very, very small! Hardly any difference! It's hard to tell if it's a big mouth or a small mouth.


How to answer

  • This is a tough one for most students. You can't tell the difference between big and small mouths. Therefore, we need to look at the relationship between the mouth and the eyes! For a large mouth, the horizontal line will be about the length of both eyes, and for a small mouth, it will be slightly shorter than both eyes. It takes a lot of practice and observation! Every expression that pops out needs to be judged once, jump fast and need to be judged quickly. If you're right, you get a green checkmark, if you're wrong, you don't get anything.
