    Special Test
[05:37] Mashima
    The test will be administered
    among eight discrete groups,
[05:42] Mashima
    each named after a planet
    of the solar system.
[05:46] Mashima
    Each group will include a sampling
    of students from each class.
[05:50] Ayanokoji
    Fourteen in total.

    We'll be acting not as members of Class D,
    but as part of the "Mars" group.
[06:07] Ayanokoji
    And our test result will be
    assigned to the group as a whole.
[06:11] Ayanokoji
    The testing period is three days long.
[06:13] Ayanokoji
    There will be one day of rest in between.
[06:16] Ayanokoji
    At 8:00 AM, the school will send an email
[06:20] Ayanokoji
    declaring one member of the group "the VIP."
[06:21] sign

[06:23] Ayanokoji
    Twice each day, a discussion
    will be held within the group,
[06:27] Ayanokoji
    in which we will attempt to
    discern the VIP's identity.
[06:29] Ayanokoji
    Thirty minutes after the
    sixth discussion concludes,
[06:33] Ayanokoji
    we will mail our answer to the school.
[06:35] Ayanokoji
    Each person can send only one answer.

    is not allowed to answer.

    during the testing period.

    This reduces our options.
[10:41] Horikita
    What do you think of this special test?
[10:45] Ayanokoji
    It largely depends on how
    the VIP approaches it.
[10:48] Ayanokoji
    Although I've thought of several
    preliminary routes to victory.
[10:52] Horikita
    Impressive indeed.

    If you wished it, by all means.
[11:24] Ryuen
    But let me ask you first...

    The result of the previous test...
[11:47] Ryuen
    It's not difficult to achieve,
    when you know how it's done.
[11:51] Ryuen
    But very few could come up with it and
    execute it under those conditions.

    Don't take my picture!
[12:18] Ryuen
    It's a little game.
[12:20] Ryuen
    I'm going to find out who's
    pulling your strings.
[12:23] Ryuen
    Everyone, including your

    You seem awfully obsessed with Class D.

[13:19] Ichinose
    Attention, everyone!
[13:21] Ichinose
    Why don't we start with introductions?
[13:23] Ichinose
    The school told us to do that, after all!
[13:26] Machida
    Is that really something
    we need to bother with?
[13:29] Machida
    Let's leave it to anyone
    who really wants to do it.
[13:32] Ichinose
    Yeah, I guess I can't force you, can I?
[13:35] Ichinose
    But it's entirely possible
    that the room is bugged!
[13:39] Machida
    Well...
[13:41] Ichinose
    If that's the case, the people who don't
    introduce themselves might be penalized.
[13:46] Machida
    I'll do it, then.
[13:48] Ichinose
    Thanks!
[13:49] Ayanokoji
    Ichinose immediately takes the initiative.
[13:54] Ichinose
    So, how should we go about this?
[13:56] Ichinose
    If you don't like the idea of me
    playing moderator, let me know, okay?
[14:00] Ayanokoji
    And the way she brings that up...
[14:02] Ayanokoji
    Anyone who objects will be volunteering
    to be moderator themselves.
[14:06] Ayanokoji
    And in the process of leading the
    conversation, they may reveal too much.
[14:11] Ayanokoji
    Most will avoid it.
[14:13] Ichinose
    Since I don't see any objections,
    I'll moderate!
[14:17] Ichinose
    First, I think we should talk out any
    aspects of the test that seem unclear.
[14:22] Ichinose
    Does anyone have any questions?
[14:26] Ichinose
    I guess I'll start, then!
[14:30] Ichinose
    I feel like we should try to
    complete the test together.
[14:34] Ichinose
    In other words, our best option
    would be to go for Case 1.
[14:39] Ichinose
    What do you all think?
[14:41] Karuizawa
    That's a no-brainer, right?
[14:43] Hamaguchi
    I'm in favor, naturally.
[14:45] Sotomura
    Indeed!
[14:45] Ayanokoji
    Agreed.
[14:47] Ayanokoji
    I'd like to have more private points,
[14:49] Ayanokoji
    and I prefer to cooperate when I can.
[14:51] Sotomura
    I'm in on this, baby!
[14:54] Karuizawa
    Who are you trying to be now?
[14:56] Machida
    We...
[14:57] Machida
    We of Class A have resolved
    to abstain from discussion.
[15:06] Sotomura
    A-Abstain?
[15:08] Sotomura
    For what purpose?
[15:10] Ichinose
    I guess I came on too strong, huh?
[15:12] Machida
    The simplest and most certain
    way to benefit from the test
[15:18] Machida
    is to abstain from participation
    from beginning to end.
[15:22] Ayanokoji
    Instructions from Katsuragi?
[15:24] Hamaguchi
    To refuse discussion and let the
    unknown VIP run away with the points?
[15:29] Machida
    What is the least desirable test result?
[15:32] Karuizawa
    Huh? Um...
[15:34] Karuizawa
    Someone figuring out the
    VIP and betraying everyone?
[15:39] Machida
    Precisely.
[15:41] Machida
    The worst-case scenario results
    from having a discussion,
[15:45] Machida
    someone suspecting someone
    else of being the VIP,
[15:47] Machida
    and getting it wrong.
[15:48] Hamaguchi
    I acknowledge the wisdom of
    abstaining from discussion.
[15:53] Hamaguchi
    But neglecting to identify VIPs
[15:56] Hamaguchi
    could heighten the point disparity
    between the classes, couldn't it?
[16:00] Hamaguchi
    What if the VIP distribution
    is extremely uneven,
[16:04] Hamaguchi
    with VIPs being overrepresented
    within one class?
[16:08] Ayanokoji
    Hamaguchi's concern is warranted.
[16:10] Ayanokoji
    Without knowing the class distribution
    of VIPs among each group,
[16:14] Ayanokoji
    the abstinence strategy is
    a difficult one to support.
[16:16] Ayanokoji
    But Katsuragi will have recognized
    the mechanism behind it:
[16:20] Ayanokoji
    "Fairness."
[16:22] Machida
    "Fairness for all classes."
[16:24] Machida
    This is a rule to which the
    school scrupulously adheres,
[16:27] Machida
    and which was present in
    the previous test, as well.
[16:29] Machida
    I would expect an even distribution
    of VIPs among the classes.
[16:32] Machida
    You won't get all of them in one class.
[16:35] Hamaguchi
    You... may be right.
[16:37] Ichinose
    I think you guys make a great point.
[16:40] Ichinose
    But actually carrying that out won't be easy.
[16:43] Ichinose
    You're betting on the fact that
    none of the first-year students
[16:45] Ichinose
    will suspect or betray anyone else.
[16:47] Machida
    Complete trust exists between
    the members of Class A!
[16:51] Manabe
    It does sound easier than
    trying to find the VIP...
[16:53] Sotomura
    Might we perhaps accept their offer?
[16:56] Sotomura
    I see no reason to object.
[17:01] Ichinose
    I just feel like Machida-kun's strategy
[17:03] Ichinose
    is one that Class A, specifically,
    is incentivized to suggest.
[17:09] Machida
    Am I missing a drawback to
    leaving the answer hidden?
[17:11] Ichinose
    You're forcing the people of lower classes
[17:13] Ichinose
    to waste one of their few chances
    at turning things around.
[17:16] Machida
    That's...
[17:18] Ichinose
    A united front plan guarantees there'll
    be no change in the final class rankings.
[17:23] Machida
    Your plan involves a united front, as well!
[17:27] Ichinose
    Not quite, actually!
[17:29] Ichinose
    Our group contains four members
    each from Classes D and C,
[17:33] Ichinose
    and only three each from Classes B and A.
[17:35] Ichinose
    In other words, if we
    achieve the Case 1 result,
[17:37] sign
    500,000 PPt
[17:38] Ichinose
    Classes D and C each receive
    500,000 extra private points.
[17:43] Machida
    That's true.
[17:45] Machida
    But wouldn't you be putting your own
    Class B at a disadvantage, as well?
[17:49] Ichinose
    The alternative is possibly letting
    Class A run away with the win.
[17:54] Ichinose
    After all, the VIP might be in your class!
[17:57] Hamaguchi
    I agree with her.
[17:59] Ayanokoji
    A fine counter-argument.
[18:01] Ayanokoji
    Class B must have discussed this in advance.
[18:10] Machida
    One way or another, Class A's
    philosophy remains unchanged.
[18:14] Machida
    We will not participate in the discussions.
[18:18] Ichinose
    Gosh...
[18:19] Ichinose
    What'll we do with them?
[18:23] Ayanokoji
    No one can actually argue
    with Machida or Ichinose.
[18:28] Ayanokoji
    Each class has their own schemes.
[18:32] Manabe
    Can we talk a minute, Karuizawa-san?
[18:36] Manabe
    Hey. I've got a question for you!
[18:39] Karuizawa
    What?
[18:40] Manabe
    Did you have a fight with
    Rika before summer vacation?
[18:43] Karuizawa
    Huh? What?
[18:45] Karuizawa
    Who's Rika?
[18:47] Manabe
    A girl with glasses in our Class C!
[18:51] Manabe
    She does her hair in buns.
[18:52] Manabe
    You don't know her?
[18:53] Karuizawa
    Nope. Think you've got the wrong girl.
[18:57] Manabe
    She told us who it was!
[19:00] Manabe
    "A Class D girl with a ponytail" bullied her.
[19:03] Yabu
    She was waiting in line at a café,
[19:05] Yabu
    when someone shoved her aside to butt in!
[19:08] Karuizawa
    Yeah? Wasn't me.
[19:12] Yamashita
    You don't remember?
[19:13] Yamashita
    If it was you, we'd like
    to request an apology!
[19:16] Manabe
    You mind if we take a
    picture so Rika can check?
[19:18] Karuizawa
    Don't you dare take my picture!
[19:22] Manabe
    What's with you?!
[19:23] Yamashita
    You might've broken her phone!
[19:26] Karuizawa
    Just tell the school and get a new one, then.
[19:28] Manabe
    I've got pictures and stuff on there!
[19:31] Karuizawa
    What's with you? What's the big deal?
[19:33] Manabe
    If it wasn't you, why are
    you being so pissy about it?
[19:37] Manabe
    Just let me take the picture!
[19:38] Karuizawa
    I said no!
[19:39] Manabe
    What's your problem?
[19:40] Yamashita
    Look at her, playing the shy little girl!
[19:43] Manabe
    Are you kidding me?
[19:44] Yabu
    I'll hold her. You take the picture!
[19:45] Karuizawa
    Cut it out!
[19:47] Machida
    Hey. What's all this noise?
[19:50] Karuizawa
    Machida-kun...
[19:56] Machida
    She's upset. Stop picking on her.
[19:58] Manabe
    S-Stay out of this, Machida-kun!
[20:01] Machida
    Do I need to call a teacher?
[20:02] Manabe
    W-Well...
[20:04] Manabe
    Let's go, everyone.
[20:05] Yamashita
    S-Sure.
[20:10] Yabu
    Should we ask Rika again?
[20:11] Yamashita
    A picture would be faster, though...
[20:15] Karuizawa
    Thanks, Machida-kun.

    Second Discussion
SIGN    Status:
SIGN    Deadlocked
[20:33] Yukimura
    I agree about the necessity of discussion.
[20:35] Yukimura
    We want to learn the identity of the VIP.
[20:38] Karuizawa
    But do you really think talking
    is gonna bring that to bear?
[20:41] Karuizawa
    This test is way too hard.
[20:43] Ichinose
    I'd say it depends on our approach.
[20:46] Ichinose
    We could think of both this and
[20:47] Ichinose
    the island tests as, essentially,
    a surprise for the students.
[20:51] Sotomura
    Sunrise is my specialt—
[20:52] Ichinose
    Isn't life aboard a cruise ship fun?
[20:56] Ichinose
    Even if we do have to attend these meetings,
[20:58] Ichinose
    we get to talk and use our
    phones as much as we want.
[21:00] Karuizawa
    I guess.
[21:02] Ichinose
    So why don't we just chat?
[21:04] Ichinose
    Staying in your shell all
    the time gets stuffy, right?
[21:08] Machida
    You're free to enjoy yourselves as you wish,
[21:11] Machida
    but I refuse to trust you.
[21:13] Machida
    The VIP could be in Class B, as well.
[21:16] Ichinose
    Can you trust your own comrades, Machida-kun?
[21:21] Machida
    Of course I can.
