Skill 7
Encyclopedic knowledge of puzzles and trivia. Form of a twig with a small blueberry on it.
Erika is naturally good at puzzles to start with, but she also is familiar with a huge catalog of standard puzzles and logical trivia to the point that she doesn't even have to work them out! Practically, this skill gives me permission to google things and assume Erika knows them.
Maria pulled a book out of her bag that had quizzes and puzzles written on it and started reading them to everyone.
It might have looked as though it would become a peaceful quiz party, ......but of course, that isn't what happened.
In credit to all her big talking, Erika managed an impressive ratio of correct and immediate answers...
Erika took complete control. ......Her bragging began to escalate more and more.
George slightly regretted the choice he had made when changing the subject.
"106 matches. No need to even write a tournament chart for it."
The question, how many matches would you need for a tournament with 107 teams, was answered instantly by Erika.
"This is less of a puzzle than it is a test of knowledge. There's a formula which shows that the number of matches is always the number of teams minus one. ......Well, if you just look at the examples showing three matches for four teams and seven matches for eight teams, it should be easy to figure out the pattern."
"Uu-! Erika, that's awesome!"
