Important notes:
You can only short sell if you believe that apples will have their price reduced in the near future.
Also, nobody will lend you any apples if they also think they will get cheaper soon. This is why the
terror attack is an efficient way to make use of short selling, as not many people would know about
it until it’s executed.
Without any further action needed, Sadakuni’s terrorist group would automatically be made the
culprits of the terror deed, while Karl, Vincent Lalo and IDEAL get a stellar amount of profit off of it.
(Strategy, Planning)
Vincent Lalo had a great introduction by displaying the efficiency of his methods. He easily finds the
best moves that need little effort to pull off but has great effect.
Voja & The Russian “Orphanage”
With the destruction of the USSR one-party sovereign state, underground organizations, under the
disguise of businessmen, came to obtain the rights to the arms industry, energy and mining
resources. 1Vincent Lalo, under the pretense of being a businessman for the mining industry, is
visiting a church that works as an orphanage in Novibirsk. However, this orphanage is just a cover
for the illegal business occurring behind the scenes at the institution. Vincent pretends to be at the
church out of consideration, but is actually scoping the place for information and confirmation
about the crime system and to find the mastermind behind the underground businesses. 2Lalo has
determined that the priest cannot be the mastermind due to him being stupid, and therefore asks
the priest for permission to look around without any issues. Vincent asked the priest because he
knew he wasn’t the mastermind. The mastermind would not allow Vincent to snoop around and
potentially find incriminating information about illegal business. Lalo can therefore freely search the
whole church without drawing any suspicion.
3
Upon inspecting the group of children he quickly notices a hierarchy that divides the children
into three classes - elite, middle class and slaves. 4He later finds a picture of a young boy and
asks who it is. His name was Popov and had died 3 days before Vincent’s visit. Vincent also gets
to hear about the boy - that he’s a nice person who was generally liked by the others, that he
shared his meals with everyone and that he gave the ones who hadn’t eaten priority to the food
donations. Upon hearing this information, Vincent employs a little plan:
He gathers all children to eat from the food supply he’s donating to the church. The purpose of
this is to reveal if the organizer of the crimes are among them. Vincent had constructed the
plan based on this reasoning:
- The children are in a hierarchy and are divided into three groups - elites, middle class
and slaves. They are brought to the orphanage to do hard work.
- Popov had died several days ago, which means that the children would naturally have
eaten less food than usual for the last days without him sharing it, and they would be
starving.
- Upon being presented the food donation, the children would find themselves in a new
situation they haven’t been in before, or is at least very unusual for them, meaning it’s
been a long time since:
1. Popov was dead and couldn’t insist on the starving children being the first to
take from the food.
2. 5The children would be starving much more than usual (due to Popov not being
able to share his food with them), and would instinctively know they can’t
control their hunger anymore.
When they find themselves in a situation they haven’t been in before, such as this one,
they would be uncertain what to do, and their instincts would be triggered by the
immense hunger. Looking from a psychological perspective, there are several reasons
as to why the children in this situation would look around at each other. Due to their
instincts and uncertainty, they would look at the other present children to for example
gauge a reaction, see if others are hesitant as well, if there is a collective response or if
there could be any danger or consequence related to taking the food.
3. The mastermind is the one getting profit. In other words their condition would
be in much better shape compared to the rest, and they would use the
resources for self-care, like any other human. Therefore, if the mastermind is
among the children, they would not look at the others, as they are well-fed and
not in a desperation for food.
With the further information you get from this reasoning, Vincent prepared this plan
with the purpose of finding the child who does not look at the others. Vincent had
efficiently created a situation where the mastermind among the children would stand
out, due to the famine and psychology of the other starving kids.
6
With this plan, Vincent unveils the mastermind, Voja. 7He also notices that not only did
she not look at anyone else, nobody looked at her either! Because of this, Vincent
figures out that she is an outsider to the orphanage’s hierarchy. 8When he goes to
confront Voja, he gets further confirmation by noticing that despite her being dressed
like a middle classer, her hands are clean and in good condition, compared to the rest.
9
Vincent suspects that in Voja’s case, she could organize this complex system, not
because anyone has taught her or is manipulating her, but because her own talents
allowed it. He asks Voja why she was organizing this crime system, and when she gives
him the answer “In order to see how humans live and die without self-awareness” he
figures out that Voja is the one who killed Popov.
Knowing that Voja is talented and not being manipulated by a wirepuller, Vincent
decides to establish a cooperative relationship with her and does research about her.
10
Among others, he notices a trait of hers where she points at someone to designate a
target, she will stop at nothing to have them killed. 11Thanks to Voja’s memory, the two
of them arrive at the place where Voja’s father lives. Vincent wanted to deliver Voja to
him, 12but when he greets the wife, he notices she’s wearing the oh-so-sinful gem called
diamonds. Enraged, Vincent Lalo kills her in an instant and when turning around and
looks at the husband, he instantly notices that the small gemstone on his ring is also a
diamond. 13Vincent then leaves Voja to her father Lacy for a while. However, he predicts
that Lacy, murdering people on Voja’s command, isn’t something that would last long
and appears in front of Lacy to his aid. Vincent finds them a place in the underground
world where they can keep being father and daughter and get used to killing each other
while still sharing a cooperative relationship with Lalo.

This is another part that builds up Vincent Lalo before his reveal. Vincent Lalo expands on his
versatility by showing exceptional reasoning. He was able to connect the information he got to
form an accurate picture of the situation before him, that helped him find the mastermind behind
the orphanage’s operations - because he figured out the differences between the mastermind and
the other orphans that you can’t physically see, but have to use reasoning to know. And in this
case Vincent used very complex abstract reasoning to expand on his information to not only
connect the dots on the current situation, but also to utilize the information to create a situation
where the orphans and the mastermind’s differences would cause the mastermind to stand out.
Lalo also displays great human understanding, both emotionally and psychologically. The tough
environment, the labor, the hunger due to Popov’s death, the hierarchy, Lalo was able to look at the
orphans’ situation as a whole to get a good grip of their mental state.
1. Deep Foresight: Lalo doesn’t just think one or two steps ahead; he plans multiple steps in
advance, anticipating the moves of other significant players like Kakerou.
2. Resourcefulness: The crafting of the sextant and using astronomical data to locate the island
is a testament to Lalo's ability to use traditional methods innovatively in a restrictive
environment.
3. Manipulation and Deception: Lalo's strategy relies heavily on misdirection. He carefully
crafts a narrative to make Kakerou believe that Robert K is the messenger, which showcases a
keen understanding of psychological warfare.
4. Understanding of Stakeholder Dynamics: Lalo’s recognition of the rift between Kakerou and
the developers, and his subsequent exploitation of that rift, indicates a deep understanding of
interpersonal and organizational dynamics.
5. Risk Management: Lalo's entire plan involves considerable risk, especially considering the
high stakes of the game in which he's engaged. Yet, he manages to shift much of the perceived
risk onto a decoy, thereby protecting his actual plan.
6. Contingency Planning: While many strategists may have a primary plan, what sets Lalo apart
is his ability to craft backup plans that are just as intricate and thought-out as the main
strategy.
7. Adaptability: Lalo reacts to the evolving situation, notably Kakerou's potential interventions,
adjusting his strategy accordingly.
8. Diversion Creation: Lalo creates a diversion so convincing (with Robert K) that the actual
threat (the real messenger) remains undetected.
9. Layered Strategy: Lalo’s plan isn't just about misdirection; it's about layers of misdirection,
making it exceptionally challenging for adversaries to discern his actual intent.
10. Achieving the Ultimate Goal: Beyond the complexity of the strategy, what stands out is that
Lalo's maneuverings lead him to achieve his primary goal: getting the precise location of the
island communicated to the outside world.
In sum, Vincent Lalo's strategies and actions in this narrative exemplify the pinnacle of
strategic gameplay, combining a deep understanding of human behavior, an ability to forecast
potential challenges, and the craftiness to weave multiple plans into one seamless operation.
His achievements in this context are a testament to intellectual prowess, tactical mastery, and
exceptional adaptability.

Vincent Lalo, surprisingly, from the very first day that he had arrived on the island, he had
managed to completely see through and deduce the perfect strategy within the game itself. By
affirming these two known facts of the game, which being the “armor of indomitability” and
the initial HP limit of the slave players, he had deduced that he would be able to create
immortal slaves due to the nature of “armor of indomitability” being proced at 2 HP. (Slaves’
initial HP’s are 2. The armor of indomitability procs whilst being attacked at 2 HP, thus
generating full HP each time). Having unraveled this stratagem, Lalo begun to drop and demote
multiple amount of “Azura'' citizens through gambling, and using the “outlaws'' to legally take
down the inhibitants of the “Azura'' kingdom by instructing his ally, Floyd Lee to monitor and
assist the outlaws by providing them with vests from other kingdoms, and with their entrance
to the “Azura'' kingdom. (players within the same kingdom cannot take down each other, in
order to legally take down players, each player must be from a different kingdom). Shockingly,
a single “armor of indomitability” costs 100,000 BIOS. Vincent Lalo, had already prepared in
advance a way to maximize his net outcome, through monopolizing the food rations and
intervening with the food supplies that were being delivered to the “developers”, thus
destroying the availability of food ration within the island itself and restocking it back again to
earn BIOS. Fortunately enough, Baku had a similar scheme, and had become easier for Lalo to
further push his plans. By using the dire situation that has followed from the food drought, and
the inflation that arose from it, Lalo restocks the market with food rations, thus farming the
needed bios to purchase the “armor of indomitability” for the demoted citizens in the “Azura”
kingdom. Now, the restocking of the food rations was multi-faceted, it was not only to farm
BIOS for the “armor of indomitability” but to also intoxicate the players within the island. Yet
again, the intoxication was multifaceted as well(the drugs were injected in the restocked food).
It halted and intoxified the players within the island in order to produce an ample amount of
time for Lalo’s kingdom to prepare for the upcoming war, whilst it also had the effect of
triggering the “Azura” slaves and to put them in a fight mode, so that they would continuously
and restlessly attack the other two kingdoms like brainless zombies. Lalo having learned that
an “arranged battle” between “shoudo” and “Tipa” was being hosted, he deliberately instructs
his troops to launch a surprise attack on the kingdom of “shoudo” as most of the Shoudo
warriors were not present at the kingdom that time. Though, his real intention behind this
surprise attack was not to weaken the kingdom of “shoudo” whilst it was at its weakest, but to
to check out if the “armor of indomitability” truly worked. He did this, by mixing the slaves
within the “Azura'' troop, and to see if the armor actually protected at 2HP. Lalo, to not reveal
his true intentions behind this surprise attack, instructs his troops to retreat before the “king”
of “shoudo” descends to fight (the damages dealt by King’s are extremely high, so if the King’s
attacks were observed to be negated by the “Azura” troops, his stratagem would have been
revealed). His stratagem was flawlessly executed, without a single individual suspecting what
he was up to the whole time! Vincent Lalo's actions and planning, as described in the narrative,
are undeniably a testament to his sheer strategic genius. The following aspects of his plan
underscore its brilliance:
1. Deep Insight into Game Mechanics: Lalo's understanding of the game's mechanics allowed
him to identify the possibility of creating "immortal slaves" by exploiting the interaction
between slaves' initial HP and the "armor of indomitability". Recognizing and utilizing such a
game mechanic indicates a level of analytical prowess that's beyond the average player.
2. Long-term Vision: Lalo didn't just have a strategy for the present moment; he meticulously
planned for the long run, starting from the very first day.
3. Economic Acumen: Monopolizing essential resources, especially in a controlled environment
like a game, demonstrates a profound grasp of economic principles. Lalo leveraged the
principles of supply and demand, manipulating both to his advantage.
4. Complex Interactions: Lalo's plan wasn't linear. He had a multi-pronged approach that
involved multiple strategies functioning simultaneously: demoting citizens, manipulating food
rations, intervening with food supplies, and controlling the market.
5. Subtlety and Secrecy: Lalo managed to operate under the radar, ensuring that his plans
weren't detected by other players. His move to test the armor without revealing his intentions
speaks volumes about his ability to maintain secrecy and subtlety.
6. Utilization of Distraction: The use of intoxicants to control and influence players adds
another layer to his strategy. Not only did this provide him with more time to prepare, but it
also turned potential threats into assets for his plan.
7. Understanding of Human Behavior: Lalo's actions weren't just rooted in understanding the
game; they were rooted in understanding human behavior. The intoxication strategy turned
players into aggressive assets, indicating his mastery over behavioral manipulation.
8.End-to-End Execution: Beyond the planning and intricacy of the strategy, Lalo succeeded in
its flawless execution, which is often the hardest part.
Vincent Lalo's strategic maneuverings in this scenario combine a deep understanding of game
mechanics, human psychology, and economic principles. The interconnectedness and intricacy
of his plans, coupled with their successful execution, make this narrative a masterclass in
strategy, deception, and foresight.
(Creativity, Lateral Thinking, Quick thinking, deductive reasoning, logical reasoning,
decision-making, Stratagem, Tactics, planning, Cunningness, Deception, fluid intelligence,
behavioral manipulation, mass manipulation).
3.Utilization of Resources: Lalo doesn't rely solely on his own capabilities but effectively
utilizes external resources, like referee Amen, as part of his strategy. This shows an ability to
understand and exploit the strengths and roles of other players in the scenario.
4. Emotional Control: Even under extreme pressure (having a knife at his throat), Lalo
maintains his composure, thinking clearly and continuing with his deceptive act.
5. Understanding of Stakeholder Motivations: Lalo is not just manipulating events, but he's also
influencing people by understanding their motivations and intentions. He predicts Arata's
need for reassurance, Amen's duty as a referee, and Usogui's ambitions.
6.Multilayered Strategy: Lalo is juggling multiple plans and contingencies simultaneously. The
intricacy of running dual stratagems while ensuring they don't conflict with one another
demonstrates profound cognitive complexity.
7. Flawless Execution: Thinking of a plan is one thing, but executing it without hitches is
another challenge altogether. Lalo's ability to flawlessly execute his strategy, given all the
moving parts and potential points of failure, is commendable.
8. Risk Management: Every decision Lalo makes carries inherent risks. However, his actions
suggest he's always calculating these risks, trying to minimize them, or using them to his
advantage.
9. Outcome Achievement: Ultimately, the measure of a strategy's success is in its outcomes.
Lalo achieves his objective of acquiring Richard Arata’s lvl.100 vest and setting up the kakerou
match, signifying the effectiveness of his plans.
In essence, Vincent Lalo's actions are impressive because they reflect a symphony of cognitive
abilities, emotional intelligence, and strategic prowess, all executed in a high-pressure
environment with multiple adversaries and variables to consider.

The game starts with the players placing an ante, which is a forced bet that they cannot avoid
paying. After that, it’s one player’s turn to place a bet. When playing you have four options to
choose from:
1. Check (Don’t bet)
2. Bet/Raise (Bet more chips)
3. Call (Matching a bet or a raise)
4. Fold (Give up your cards and chips and forfeit the game. Even if you have the strongest
hand, you cannot win if you fold)
A betting round ends when all active players have bet an equal amount. At that time, whoever
hasn’t folded and holds the strongest hand wins all the chips in the pot and the next round
begins.
● 4 of a kind: Made up of 4 cards of the same rank and a fifth card of any rank.
Example: 7 ♦️ ❤️ ♠️ ♣️ ❤️
7 7 7 3 = 4 of a kind
● Full House: Made up of 3 matching cards of 1 rank and 2 matching cards of another
rank.
Example: Q ♦️ ❤️ ♣️ ❤️ ♠️
Q Q 2 2 = Full House
● Straight: Made up of 5 cards of consecutive rank but from more than one suit.
Example: 5 ♣️ ❤️ ❤️ ♠️ ♦️
6 7 8 9 = Straight
● 3 of a kind: Made up of 3 cards of the same rank plus two unmatched cards.
Example: A ♦️ A❤️A♠️ 9❤️ J♣️ = 3 of a kind
● 2 Pair: Made up of 2 cards of one rank, 2 cards of a different rank plus one unmatched
card.
Example: 9 ♠️ ❤️ ♣️ ❤️ ♠️
9 J J 3 = 2 Pair
● Pair: Made up of 2 cards of the same rank and three unmatched cards.
Example: 6 ♣️ ❤️ ♠️ ♦️ ❤️
6 2 A J = Pair
● High Card: The lowest ranking hand. A hand that can’t achieve a rank.
Example: 4 ❤️ ♦️ ♦️ ♣️ ❤️
5 8 J K = High Card
What if two players hold the same kind of hand and how do tiebreakers work
for each hand?
Note: Suits don’t matter in tiebreaks. Hearts aren’t necessarily stronger than clubs for
example.
● If two players tie with a Royal Straight Flush, the pot is equally divided between them.
● If two players tie with a Straight Flush, the one who has the top card wins. If they tie
the top card, the pot is split between the two.
Example:
♠️ ♠️ ♠️ ♠️ ♠️
Player 1: 4 5 6 7 8
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Player 2: 7 8 9 10 J
❤️
Top card = J = Player 2 wins
● If two players tie with a 4 of a kind, the winner is determined by the one who holds the
highest quad (4 cards of the same rank).
Example:
♦️ ❤️ ♠️ ♣️ ❤️
Player 1: 3 3 3 3 5
♦️ ❤️ ♠️ ♣️ ❤️
Player 2: 6 6 6 6 9
Player 2 has the higher quad (6>3) and wins.
● If two players tie with a Full House, the winner is determined by the one who holds the
highest trio (3 cards of the same rank).
Example:
♦️ ❤️ ♣️ ❤️ ♠️
Player 1: 10 10 10 4 4
♦️ ❤️ ♣️ ❤️ ♠️
Player 2: 5 5 5 7 7
Player 1 has the highest trio (10>5) and wins.
● If two players tie with a Flush, the player who holds the top card wins. If theis highest
card is the same, the winner is determined by the 2nd highest card and so on. If they
still tie after that, the pot is equally split between the winners.
Example:
♣️ ♣️ ♣️ ♣️ ♣️
Player 1: 2 4 5 9 Q
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Player 2: 3 5 6 8 Q
Both players have the top card (Queen) but player 1 wins due to having the second
highest card apart from the queens.
● If two players tie with a Straight, the player who holds the top card wins.
Example:
❤️ ♠️ ♠️ ❤️ ❤️
Player 1: A 2 3 4 5
♣️ ♣️ ♣️ ❤️ ♠️
Player 2: 5 6 7 8 9
♠️
Player 2 wins due to having the top card (9 ), even though player 1 holds an Ace it
counts as 1.
● If two players tie with a 3 of a kind, the winner is decided by the highest-ranking trio (3
cards of the same rank)
Example:
♠️ ♣️ ❤️ ♦️ ♠️
Player 1: 6 6 6 3 5
♣️ ♦️ ❤️ ♣️ ♦️
Player 2: 4 4 4 7 10
Player 1 wins due to having the highest ranking trio (6>4).
● If two players tie with a 2 pair, the person with the larger top pair will win. If both
players have the highest pair (both having a pair of Queens for example) the winner is
determined by the 2nd pair. If they both have the exact same pairs the winner is
determined by the kicker (fifth card).
Example:
♦️ ❤️ ♣️ ❤️ ♠️
Player 1: 8 8 Q Q 10
❤️ ♣️ ♣️ ♠️ ♠️
Player 2: 4 4 K K 3
Player 2 would win due to them holding the highest pair (K>Q).
● If two players tie with a Pair, the player who holds the highest-ranking pair wins. If they
have the same pair, the highest kicker will decide the winner (if the two players both
have the highest kicker they look at the 2nd highest kicker etc). If the two players have
the exact same Pair and kickers (same hand) they split the pot.
Example:
♦️ ❤️ ♠️ ♠️ ♣️
Player 1: A A Q 8 4
Pair = Aces Kickers = Q 8 4
♣️ ❤️ ♣️ ❤️ ♦️
Player 2: A A 10 5 3
Pair = Aces Kickers = 10 5 3
Both players have a pair of the same rank, but player 1 holds the highest kicker and will
therefore win.
● If two players tie with a High Card, the winner is determined by the player who holds
the top card. If they both tie with the same top card, the one who holds the 2nd highest
card wins etc.
Example:
❤️ ♦️ ♣️ ♦️ ♣️
Player 1: A 7 6 4 2
♠️ ♠️ ♦️ ❤️ ❤️
Player 2: K 9 8 5 4
In this case, Ace ranks higher than a King and the winner is therefore player 1.
1. Memory Recall: Lalo needs to recall the 52 cards of a deck, their order, and their specific
values. This demonstrates an impeccable short-term memory.
2. Complex Calculations: Lalo isn't just remembering cards, but he's formulating poker hands,
which requires strategic thinking and mathematical proficiency.
3. Elimination and Updating: On top of recalling and formulating, he also needs to eliminate
cards used in previous hands and update his calculations accordingly. This requires dynamic
thinking and adaptability.
4.Time Constraint: Performing these cognitive tasks within seconds means Lalo's brain
processes this information at a very high speed.
5. Stressful Environment: The added challenge of being submerged in water increases the
difficulty of the task. The stress and potential lack of oxygen can hinder cognitive function, yet
Lalo manages to think clearly and quickly.
6. Multitasking* While running these calculations, Lalo also needs to manage his physical state
(e.g., breathing, dealing with the pressure and discomfort of being submerged), making the feat
even more impressive.
7. Cognitive Flexibility: This feat shows that Lalo can rapidly shift between different types of
cognitive tasks, from recall to calculation to strategy.
8. Outcome Prediction: In poker, you don't just think about the current hand but also potential
future hands. Lalo's ability to predict and plan for multiple outcomes shows a high level of
foresight and strategic thinking.
In essence, Lalo's feat is not just about knowing cards but about demonstrating an array of
cognitive skills rapidly and under pressure. It would be an insane CPI feat because few
individuals would possess such a combination of skills and be able to deploy them in such a
challenging environment.
(CPI, VSI, WMI, PSI, FRI, FSIQ, Critical thinking, Prediction, abduction).
After being psychologically forced into using his newly discovered Ace card by Baku
madarame’s well plotted psychological trap, Vincent Lalo was put at such a disadvantageous
situation, and was forced to make a strong counterattack to cancel out what he had already
lost. After Baku Madarame’s metal card “45” for the 3rd round was revealed, Lalo quickly and
scaringly induced what triggered the calamity after abducting the possible poker hands that
could formulate Baku’s “45” whilst he was simultaneously comparing to his own “47”. Whilst he
was calculating the cards, Vincent Lalo had seen through and deduced Baku’s plan of forfeiting
in the 5th after betting 5 bios, by running a hypothetical scenario of the 4th and 5th round, all
at once, within mere dozen of seconds, and coated his trap with a 2 air bios bet (the ante for
the third round is 3 air bios, and a 2 air bios bet makes the pot a total of 5 air bios. The
maximum bet for the 3rd round was 3 air bios, though Vincent Lalo deliberately proposed a 2
air bet, so that Baku would not fold for this round. If Vincent had bet 3 air bios, the pot would
eventually increase to 6 and it would diminish Baku’s plan of forfeiting in the 5th round with 5
air bios, as he would waste 6 air bios in this round ). Lalo had calculated this far ahead, whilst
deducing what triggered the calamity, and abducting the possible poker hands that formulated
his and Baku’s metal card, and simultaneously running them to check for overlapping cards,
whilst running a hypothetical scenario, and calculating two rounds in advance, in order to
forge a deceptive and manipulative trap to lure Baku to this bet whilst being submerged in
water. Lalo had successfully manipulated Baku into making him bet for this round, even though
Baku knew quite well that Lalo’s metal card was stronger than his. The 2 air bios bet aroused
Baku’s curiosity, and locked him in a loop of trying to entangle the mystery behind it. Vincent
Lalo's feat in this scenario is impressive for a variety of reasons:
1. Rapid Cognitive Processing: Lalo was able to quickly deduce a vast array of possibilities,
strategies, and outcomes in mere seconds. This indicates exceptional cognitive processing
speed and analytical capability.
2. Depth of Strategy: Not only was he able to consider the immediate round, but Lalo also
projected two rounds into the future, considering potential outcomes, strategies, and
counter-strategies that might unfold.
3.Psychological Manipulation: Lalo's calculated bet of 2 air bios was specifically chosen to
arouse Baku's curiosity and ensure his participation in the round, even when Baku's instincts
might have suggested a different course of action. This showcases a profound understanding
of his opponent's psychology.
4. Multitasking: Lalo wasn't just focused on one task. He was evaluating the metal cards,
deducing their potential origins, running hypothetical scenarios, and planning his betting
strategy all simultaneously. This level of multitasking, especially under pressure, is rare and
noteworthy.
5. Adaptive Thinking: Being put at a disadvantage, especially after being psychologically
trapped, can easily fluster many players. However, Lalo adapted to the situation swiftly,
turning the tables on Baku.
6. High-Stakes Environment: All this strategizing wasn't done in a calm, relaxed environment.
Lalo was submerged in water, adding a physical and psychological layer of pressure to the
situation, making his rapid analysis and strategic decisions even more commendable.
7. Prediction: Lalo not only strategized for his own actions but also predicted Baku's potential
reactions and plans. Predicting an opponent's moves multiple steps ahead is a hallmark of
grand strategy, often seen in masters of games like chess.
8. Decision Making: Lalo's choice of betting an amount to ensure his desired outcome
(ensuring Baku doesn't fold) is a classic maneuver in game theory, where decisions are made
not just on immediate outcomes, but also on influencing an opponent's subsequent decisions.
In essence, this feat showcases Lalo's exceptional skills in strategy, psychology, rapid
decision-making, and adaptability, all executed in a high-pressure environment. It paints a
picture of a master strategist at work.
1.Observational Acuity: Not everyone possesses the sharpness to notice subtle inconsistencies
in a system, especially under stressful conditions. Recognizing the irregularities between the
bet placement and card reveal demands a keen attention to detail.
2. Recognition of Anomalies: Beyond just observing, understanding that the inconsistency
holds significance shows a deep understanding of systems and processes. This is critical for
problem-solving, as anomalies often lead to insights about the underlying situation.
3. Hypothesis Testing: Creating and then mentally testing a hypothesis (in this case, the
possibility that the judgment process starts after the card reveal) is a fundamental aspect of
scientific reasoning. This is a structured approach to making sense of unknown or confusing
situations.
4. Cognitive Flexibility: When faced with a mental roadblock, Lalo's ability to pivot and
consider the problem from a different angle is an indicator of cognitive flexibility. This
adaptability in thought processes is crucial for solving complex problems.
5. Connecting Disparate Information: Lalo uses the presence of the ladder and the knowledge
about the referees' affiliations to draw conclusions about the entire system. The capacity to
link seemingly unrelated data points to generate a coherent understanding is a sign of
advanced reasoning prowess .
6. Intuition and Gut-Feeling: Some decisions or insights are not just based on linear reasoning
but also on an individual's intuition. The fact that the 'inconsistency' bothered Lalo suggests he
has a well-developed sense of intuition, guiding him to delve deeper.
7. Spatial Awareness: Recognizing the ladder and making the connection to an upper floor
showcases Lalo's spatial intelligence, allowing him to make connections based on the physical
layout of the environment.
8. Understanding Human Behavior: Beyond the purely analytical, Lalo's deduction also hinges
on understanding the motivations and possible actions of Fukurou & Hal. This blend of
analytical thinking with insights into human behavior and psychology makes his deduction
more comprehensive.
In summary, Lalo's deduction is impressive due to the combination of his observational skills,

1. Deep Psychological Insight: Lalo's ability to interpret and predict Usogui's intentions through
mere betting actions exemplifies his profound understanding of human behavior. Instead of
simply taking the surface value of Usogui's move, Lalo delves deep into the psychology behind
it.
2. Analytical Acumen: Lalo's decision to propose a small bet to gauge Usogui's reaction reflects
strategic probing. By doing so, he provides himself a low-risk opportunity to test his
hypothesis and gather more information.
3. Exceptional Observational Skills: Despite the challenging environment — being submerged
in water where clear visual perception is hampered — Lalo noticed the remnants of broken
glass shards on Usogui's oxygen regulator. Such a keen eye for detail, especially under stress, is
a testament to his heightened sense of awareness.
4. Recall and Synthesis: Lalo's ability to reflect on past events, like Usogui's apparent loss of
consciousness in the 2nd round, and weave that into his current understanding is a showcase
of his memory and integrative thinking.
5. Critical Thinking: Lalo didn’t simply take his first deduction at face value. He questioned his
own theory, evaluating its plausibility based on logical and physical parameters, revealing a
meticulous and self-reflective thought process.
6.Emotional Control: Despite the physical discomfort and potential panic from being
submerged, Lalo maintained his composure. The ability to think clearly, deduce, and make
decisions under such conditions points to a strong emotional resilience.
In totality, what makes this situation so impressive is Lalo's masterful blend of analytical
thinking, psychological insight, observational prowess, and emotional stability, all executed in
a challenging and high-pressure environment.

In conclusion:
Vincent Lalo stands as a paragon of intellectual prowess, evident through a series of intricate
stratagems and keen deductions across different scenarios, both in poker and in the kingdom
game.
In the poker game, Lalo's nuanced understanding of human psychology was demonstrated by
his ability to read the intentions behind even the subtlest of moves. Rather than being swayed
by surface-level actions, Lalo consistently delved deep into the underlying motivations, as
evident in his interactions with Usogui. His keen observational skills, even in the challenging
environment of being submerged underwater, showcased an almost superhuman attention to
detail. This, coupled with his strategic probing and his capacity to reflect on and integrate past
events, epitomizes a mind that's always two steps ahead.
On the island of kingdoms, Lalo's long-term strategic thinking was manifest. The masterful
deception he employed to ascertain the island's location was layered with contingencies,
displaying an ability to account for various potential outcomes. Furthermore, Lalo's deducing
of the game mechanics, like the "armor of indomitability," and his innovative use of them,
showcased both his analytical acumen and creative thinking. The multi-faceted schemes he
implemented, from manipulating food supplies to intoxicating players, were both broad in
vision and meticulous in execution.
Moreover, his overarching strategy was not just about winning but was designed to obscure
his true intentions, consistently keeping adversaries in the dark. By misdirecting focus, he was
able to operate unobstructed, executing plans that, to most, would seem impossibly complex.
Whether it was in a high-stakes poker game or the dynamic and shifting landscape of the
kingdoms, Lalo demonstrated emotional control, critical thinking, and a deep understanding of
human nature. He wasn't just playing the game; he was rewriting its rules.
In conclusion, Vincent Lalo's intellectual feats across varying scenarios highlight him as a
master strategist, keen observer, and a psychological maestro. His ability to weave intricate
plans, deduce hidden traps, and stay consistently ahead of his adversaries sets him apart as
one of the most formidable minds in any competition. Unfortunately, Vincent Lalo had to face
the joint forces of two intellectual monsters, which resulted in his defeat. Nevertheless, he was
a freak of nature and a being with exceptionally developed cognitive and psychological
abilities.
