"Fermat's Room", also known as "Murder in Mathematics,", as the name suggests, is an intellectual question and answer centered on mathematics. Four mathematicians were invited to an empty room one after another to solve a great math problem. But no one thought that the host behind the scenes had done tricks in the room in advance, and the four walls of the room were pushed by the pressure valve. If no questions were answered within the stipulated time, everyone would be destroyed by the room. This is a quiz race against death, and there is no right to withdraw.
In the kingdom of lies, all the subjects lie
in Fermat’s room, and everyone has a secret
. It was originally thought that this film is a reasoning film about mathematics. All the clues are in the math test questions. Like the Dimensional Killing Array, you can win if you find the rules. But the more I looked back, I found that the plot had come to a big reversal, and the brains that had been spent on the quiz questions seemed to have been transferred to the past of several characters.
They began to confess their secrets hidden in the past in this small and shrinking room. In the kingdom of lies, all subjects tell lies. In Fermat's room, everyone has a secret. Participants of the four games began to meet like strangers who did not know each other, and their words were simple and polite. Until this time, the past relationship was admitted. Those inextricably linked past gathered them in this room, and Fermat issued an invitation to participate in the game. In fact, they were not contestants in the game, but burialists of death.
Everyone's past affects others...
Human nature is to try to think of something. People, wealth, status or reputation. The poorest thing in the movie is the old professor, a mathematician with a desperate mind. He spent 35 years trying to solve the "Goldbach Conjecture". He spent his entire life in exchange for rewards, but was completely defeated by the interference of jealousy. A teenager's lie. Except for a piece of news in exchange for the boy's lie, it was actually worthless.
I think this is the weakest part of the old mathematics professor. In the face of success, in the face of achievement, because too much has been paid, it is necessary to get a corresponding return. If not, the psychology cannot be balanced. Everyone is a greedy ghost, and we all crave things that should belong to us, right?
There are several puzzles in the movie. If you want to know the answer, just watch this movie.
1. A candy vendor received three opaque boxes. One box is filled with mint candies, one is filled with anise candies, and the other is filled with mixed anise candies and mints. The labels on the boxes read "Mint", "Fennel" and "Mixed." But the candy hawker was told that all the labels were wrong. At least how many candies he had to take out to determine what was in each box?
2. 11000011001111100011...a series of permutations to find out the hidden passwords under the permutations. If the time is exceeded, the room will shrink.
3. In a sealed room, there is a light bulb, and there are three switches outside the room, only one can make the light turn on. When the door is closed, it does not matter how many times you press the switch, but when you open the door, you must tell which of the three switches controls the light bulb.
4. A four-minute hourglass and a seven-minute hourglass, how to use these two hourglasses to test the time of nine minutes?
5. The student asked the teacher about the ages of the three daughters, and the teacher replied, if you multiply the ages of the three of them to equal 36, add up to get your house number, and the eldest daughter can play the piano. So how old are these three daughters?
6. A stranger is trapped in a room with two doors, of which only one door leads to freedom. The two doors are guarded by a guard from the lie country and a guard from the real country. You can only ask one question to one of the guards. How do you ask?
7. The mother is 21 years older than the son. After six years, the son will be 5 times younger than the mother. What is his father doing now?
