Minority Rule

Since young, we were always faced with the [majority rules] games.

Be it a simple decision such as "where should we eat?" to more complex decision such as "who should rule the country?", the majority decision will always win.



Now, what about a game of [minority rules]?


Imagine you are part of a group of 22 people,

all of you will be faced with the same Yes or No question.


Those people whose choices fall under the minority sides shall win and continue the next round.


For example, 10 choose [Yes], 12 choose [No]. The 10 that choose [Yes] will remain in the game.
(your choice will be not be known to others until the result time.)

Another Yes or No question will be given again, and the minority sides will continue to stay in the game.

It will be repeated until there is only 1 person left.


Now, here is the question,


What can you do to ensure that you are always on the minority side and be the last person standing?




Is there any strategy that can assure you to be the winner???





If you are interested in the answer, you can watch the Liar Game (Japanese Drama) or simply ask me. =)

***Very interesting show!!
