- The fourth session begins, announced the host, and here is its first question: we have 50 units of underwear, 20 of them are red, and 30 are blue. What needs to be done to calculate the percentage of red underwear from the total number?

A: Divide the total number by two.
B: Subtract the number of blue underwear from the total number and multiply by two.
C: Divide the number of red underwear by the total number and multiply by one hundred.
D: Add the sum of red and blue underwear to the total number, divide by two, and subtract ten.

- Damn... I come here to degrade myself with these puzzles... For me, the multiplication table is the pinnacle of knowledge! 😫
- Think, you can do it, - Gillon whispered, encouraging her.
Beata waved her hand and started counting on her fingers.
- In the last three options, the same numbers come out... But the percentages are somehow found easily, right? - she looks at Gillon, who gestures - think for yourself.
Beata groaned.
- So... One hundred percent is the whole. A percent is one hundredth. So... - you could hear her brain working, - so you need to find an option that uses the number one hundred. And that's the third option, C!

- Correct! Next question: what killed the actor from Phantasmagoria, Raphael Nishineta?

A: Love
B: Blood loss
C: Stupidity
D: Arrogance

- And thank you for the opportunity to witness another masterpiece. And yes, of course, you can. For a person who is engaged in an important task and behaves with dignity - and not like a frightened stray animal, suffering from a lack of discipline and desperately needing a reprimand from a responsible superior... - I will always find time, - turning the page, she accompanies these warm words with a perfect smile, with which she also sees off the student.

After observing the rural landscapes outside the window for a while, she goes to get ready/have a snack/finish everything that needed to be done before his arrival.

What killed the actor of Fantasmagoria, Raphael Nishineta?

Communism.

- Hmm! Now that's a question I can answer, - Beata chuckled. - But it's such a philosophical question! In my opinion, he was definitely killed by stupidity. But... I'll choose option B. Because, technically speaking, he died from blood loss and stab wounds! - she leaned back in her chair, smiling.

- Incorrect!... I could say, but that is the correct answer. Question number three: what was the name of Arual's bodyguard?

A: Lanigiros
B: Delsahid
C: Draco Mellis
D: Victor Loss

- So, think, Beata, you've read these chronicles, something must have stuck in your head, - she tapped her forehead with her fist. "We can immediately rule out Draco Mellisa and Viktor Loss, they couldn't have been so well preserved at that age. So, it's either Lanigiros or Delsahid. Hmm... Oh, I remember! Delsahid was tough and could fight with any weapon. That must be it?" - ...B?

- Correct. Question number four: who is depicted in this portrait?



A: Actress
B: Singer
C: Goddess
D: Queen

- Bzzt! Incorrect! Options B and C do not correspond to the question, because it asks which of them is more attractive, and not whether they are attractive or unattractive!

"As expected. It seems I'm learning to recognize the patterns of a good... uh... evil... doctor?"

Ah, so from a biological and psychological point of view, men find fertile women attractive on a subconscious level, which is facilitated by the noticeable feminine body features in image A, while in image B, the secondary sexual characteristics are almost imperceptible.

"I've probably heard this opinion for the umpteenth time, within the confines of Margel. Hmm... and is the girl in the second photo, by any chance, Ayano? She looks somewhat similar, although it would be strange to imagine the priestess of Yanagi in such an image. And in the only photo I know of her, from the newspaper issue in connection with the purification of the palace, she was glaring unfriendly at the camera flashes, unsuccessfully trying to shield herself from them with her palm. But this one seems comfortable in front of the camera. So, I doubt it."

- Incorrect!... I could say, but that is the correct answer. Question number three: what was the name of Arual's bodyguard?

"Well done, Beata, you correctly identified the trick. And she also says bad things about herself, that she's just a silly girl who doesn't understand anything. She understands everything perfectly, she's just afraid of making a mistake - that's why she hides in her shell! I hope today's success will give her more confidence."

- Hmm! This is a question that suits me, - Beata said with satisfaction. - But the question is so philosophical! In my opinion, she was definitely killed by stupidity. But... But I will choose option B. Because technically, she died from blood loss and stab wounds! - she leaned back in her chair, smirking.

"How... composed she is. Although, if you think about it, we are here having coffee and desserts with a girl who once committed this act, although she has already embarked on the path of healing. Without composure, it would be impossible. And, in fact, it's nice to see that Metarme's treatment seems to be beneficial."

- Correct. Question number four: who is depicted in this portrait?

"Hmm, is this Rinze before her demonization? The features of the imperial family are very noticeable. I must say that Zlobina has a very extensive collection of female photographs and portraits. I wonder if he also uses it in the treatment of his patients, or if he acquired today's ones specifically for the competition, as a necessary inventory?"

- Correct. Question number four: who is depicted in this portrait?

A: Actress
B: Singer
C: Goddess
D: Queen

Beata grimaced in disgust.
"She was more like an empress than a queen, right? Actress, singer... Well, she can sing, I guess."
- If otherworldly entities are considered gods, then C, - she shrugged, not hiding her dislike for the person depicted, but still maintaining a semblance of politeness.

Observing Beata's reaction, Zlobnya made some notes in his notebook. "Correct. Fifth question: how do most of the inhabitants of Margel feel about Emperor Purian?" A: Positively B: Negatively C: Neutrally D: Indifferently

"Come on, come on, come on, you're doing great!"

We have 50 pieces of underwear, 20 of which are red, and 30 are blue. What needs to be done to calculate the percentage of red underwear out of the total?

A: Divide the total number by two.
B: Subtract the number of blue underwear from the total and multiply by two.
C: Divide the number of red underwear by the total and multiply by one hundred.
D: Add the sum of red and blue underwear to the total, divide by two, and subtract ten.

"Three out of four answers lead to the same result, haha. Of course, only one algorithm is correct, but it's funny. And he also likes to come up with tough questions, sometimes about Creedar, sometimes about Rafik, sometimes about Rinze..."

After observing Beata's reaction, Zlobnya made some notes in his notebook.

"Something tells me that after tonight, we will all be guaranteed free treatment at his clinic."

- That's why humanity invented the stop-word, - Gillon murmured quietly. Beata was about to open her mouth to reply, but hesitated. "I haven't heard anything bad about him... I have some questions for him, but overall, he seemed like a decent guy, better than some. And in that summer survey, Giyosh and I gave him good reviews, and the others probably did too." - M-m-m... Yes, most likely.

- Most likely or definitely?
