History Recap / TheGeniusS4E4FishShop

Kyungran takes charge of mackerel sellers and convinces everyone there to agree on $3. Jinho and Dr. Yeonseung and the rest are convinced and committed to it. Later Dongmin talks to Kyungran and tells her that she shouldn't have done that because his and Hyunmin's plan is to keep undercutting everyone for $1 while pushing Hyunmin for victory and she should do the same if she wants to earn anything. Kyungran has no choice but to also offer $1. Jinho despite being warned by Dongmin still goes for $3.

* StrangeBedfellows: Yeonseung and Junseok who before that had very little interaction secretly join forces and win the game in a very impressive way.

She takes several points in the beginning and shows a considerable resistance. After some time, they have seen all tiles and the game is reduced to who presses the buzzard faster and then manages to make up the equation in 5 seconds. Younger, sharper Hyunmin starts to overtake Yoonsun.

Player that offers cheapest price for that fish gets all earnings for that fish (number of fish sold * final price). If there are several players with the same low price they split earnings between themselves proportionally to their tickets.

For example, there are 4 people selling mackerel with 3 of them selling 1 fish each and one -- 2. If one person with 1 fish and a person with 2 fishes both undercut others with $2 price, they split earnings of 2*5 (there are five fishes sold by four people)=10 two to three, so person with 2 tickets gets $6.66 and person with 1 ticket gets $3.33.

Yeonseung+Junseok have the most well thought out plan. Junseok's role is not to allow Yeonseung's competitors to earn more than $1 per fish so he keeps loudly proclaiming that he will go 1$ every time which forces everyone else to do the same limiting their profits. While Dr. Yeonseung in other team keeps undercutting others for $1 while pretending to commit to $4 (for Hyunmin) and $3 (for Kyungran) and even pretends to be sad when people are mistaken that he is getting no money and is dead last.

Once number of fish sold and who sells them is determined, players start bidding. They offer their prices to dealer privately from 1$ to 5$ in integer increments.

For example, there are 4 people selling mackerel with 3 of them selling 1 fish each and one -- 2. If one person with 1 fish and a person with 2 fishes both undercut others with 2$ price, they split earnings of 2*5 (there are five fishes sold by four people)=10 two to three, so person with 2 tickets gets 6.66 and person with 1 ticket gets 3.33.

Each person has one chance to use either Secret or Check ability exactly once. Secret obscures earnings for that fish for 1 round. Check allows for player to see his or her earnings if they were hidden.

After 4 rounds player who earned the most garnets wins and one who earned the least -- loses. If winner gained 20$ they get a garnet, if 30$ -- 2 garnets.

Yoonsun is using 2 tickets to sell hairtails. Junseok once again goes against the flow and says he will go 1$ for hairtails no matter what. This forces all hairtails to go for 1$ to not to be excluded completely.

Mackerels and squids are still up for contention. People obviously are all saying they're gonna for 5$ but there are several pairs of people who plan to undercut others for 4$ and 3$.

Yeonseung+Junseok have the most well thought out plan. Junseok's role is not to allow Yeonseung's competitors to earn more than $1 per fish so he keeps loudly proclaiming that he will go 1$ every time which forces everyone else to do the same limiting their profits. While Dr. Yeonseung in other team keeps undercutting others for $1 while pretending to commit to $4 (for Hyunmin) and 3$ (for Kyungran) and even pretends to be sad when people are mistaken that he is getting no money and is dead last.

Junseok mapped out a diagram showing which fishes he's gonna mark for $1 on each round, while Yeonseung will be trying to make some money on other fishes away from him.

The outcome of the game was decided in round 1 where Yeonseung got a fraction of points more than Kyunghoon and all other rounds went for 1$ for all fishes because most active players were doing the very same "undercut everyone" strategy.

Kyungran is upset that even if unknowingly she became a reason people got no points. She especially feels bad for Jinho and Yeonseung who she thinks got little to no points in both rounds. Dongmin convinces her to stay put and says that they are going to try to save Jinho at least.

Yeonseung+Junseok have the most well thought out plan. Junseok's role is not to allow Yeonseung's competitors to earn more than 1$ per fish so he keeps loudly proclaiming that he will go 1$ every time which forces everyone else to do the same limiting their profits. While Yeonseung in other team keeps undercutting others for 1$ while pretending to commit for 4$ (for Hyunmin) and 3$ (Kyungran) and even pretend to be sad when people keep are mistaken that he is getting no money and is dead last.

Junseok mapped out a diagram showing which fishes he's gonna "dump" to 1$ on each round, while Yeonseung will be trying to make some money on other fishes away from him.

Hyunmin who got greedy and tried to sell their fishes for 3$ in the first round was left out of the sale in the first round completely and he loses the main match because of it.

Winner Yeonseung can finally drop the mask and high-fives his secret partner Junseok. Everyone are blindsided and Dongmin even thinks there is a malfunction with the monitor. Hyunmin goes from thinking he's #1 to loser of the main match.

Yoonsun is burning 2 of her tickets of mackerels. Junseok once again goes against the flow and says he will go 1$ for hairtails no matter what. This forces all hairtails to go for 1$ to not to be excluded completely.

Mackerels and squids are still up for contention. People obviously are all saying they're gonna for 5$ but there are several pairs of people who plan to undercut other for 4$ and 3$.

Junseok's hairtails go for $1 and squids are obscured. Everyone blames Kyunghoon but he swears he didn't do it.

In round 2 Junseok once again declares he is going to dump the price of a fish he chose to 1$.

Kyungran in other teams convinces other sellers to agree on 3$. Jinho and Yeonseung seem convinced and committed to it. Later Hyunmin talks to Kyungran and tells her that she shouldn't have done that because his and Dongmin's plan is to keep undercutting everyone for 1$ while pushing Hyunmin for victory and she should do the same if she wants to earn anything. Kyungran has no choice but to also offer 1$.

Kyungran feels really bad that even if unknowingly she became a reason people got no points. She especially feels bad for Jinho and Yeonseung who she thinks got little to no points in both rounds. Dongmin convinces her to stay put and says that they are going to try to save Jinho at least. They knowingly let themselves be undercut by Jinho to give him more money but they're not sure if that will be enough.

Round 4 ends with all fishes predictably going for 1$ because it's the last round. Results of the game are revealed and...

Yeonseung is in first place and Hyunmin is last.

Flashback. Outside of Dongmin-Hyunmin pair who planned to undercut everyone else there were also two other secret pairs who had the very same strategy: Yuhyun+Kyunghyun and Yeonseung+Junseok.

This week''s game is Fish Shop which is a revamp of Fruit Stand.

In each of the 4 rounds players compete to be sellers of 3 types of seafood: hairtail, mackerel and squid.

First players select for which fish they're gonna sell using tickets. Each ticket allows player to sell one fish in 1 round. Player can put forth several tickets to sell several fished of the same kind or one of each of the three types of fish or any other combination. Or they can opt not to spend any ticket skipping round altogether.

Once number of fish sold and who sells them is determined, players start bidding in dealer's room. They offer selling prices from 1$ to 5$ in integer increments.

Player that puts forth cheapest price for that fish gets all earnings for that fish. If there are several players with the same low price they split earnings between themselves proportionally to their tickets.

For example if there are 4 people selling mackerel with 3 of them selling 1 fish and one -- 2. If one person with 1 fish and a person with 2 fishes both undercut others with 2$ price, they split earnings of 2*5 (there are five fishes sold by four people)=10 two to three, so person with 2 tickets gets 6.66 and person with 1 ticket gets 3.33.

After 4 rounds player who earn the most garnets wins and one who earned the least -- loses. If winner gained 20$ they get a garnet, if 30$ -- 2 garnets.

This type of game fits Kyunghoon, who won Fruit Stand last time by betraying his team. So when he announces he's gonna go ahead and sell some squids people understandably are not in the rush to join him. Kyunghoon feels he can use his image of betrayer to his advantage and hope there won't be many people joining his team which would leave him with no competition. However 4 people join squids each of them thinking there won't any other people willing to go to the same team as Kyunghoon.

Dongming and Kyungran are not selling anything saving their tickets.

Mackerels and squids are still up for contention. People obviously are all saying they're gonna for 5$ but there are several talks between several pairs of people where they plan to undercut everyone else for 4$ and 3$.

Flashback. Outside of Dongmin-Hyunmin pair who planned to undercut everyone else there were also two other secret pairs who had the very same strategy: Yuhyun+Kyunghyun and Yeonseung +Junseok.

Yeonseung+Junseok have the most well thought out plan. Junseok's role is not to allow Yeonseung's competitors to earn more than 1$ per fish so he keeps loudly proclaiming that he will go 1$ every time which forces everyone else do the same limiting their money. While Yeonseung in other team keeps undercutting other for 1$ while pretending to commit for 4$ (for Hyunmin) and 3$ (Kyungran) and even pretend to be sad when people keep thinking he is getting no money and is dead last.

The outcome of the game was decided in round 1 where Yeonseung got a fraction of points more than Kyunghoon and all other round went for 1$ for all fishes because most active players were doing the very same "undercut everyone" strategy.

Hyunmin who got greedy and tried to sell their fishes for 3$ in the first round was left out of the sale completely and he loses the main match because of it.

They are playing Same Numbers Hunt which is second game from [[Recap/TheGeniusS3E12Finale season 3 finale]]. Game has been tweaked since then so with each successful response dealers show a tile on a board starting from top left.

Yoonsun bases her game on it and instead of memorizing top rows like Hyunmin did, she concentrates on bottom two rows because with time top 2 rows are going to be shown anyway.

She takes several points in the beginning and shows a considerable resistance. After some time, they have seen all of tiles and then game is reduced to who presses the buzzard faster and then manages to make up the equation in 5 seconds. Younger, sharper Hyunmin starts to overtake Yoonsun.
