" Then I'll go next !" said Anna.
Anna walks out from the red room.
Anna glances at the two men and the woman sitting at the opposite gold room.
Too bad the teams are separated by a border.

Round 4
Ethan sits down.
Anna glares at Ethan, but not fiercely.
" Actually.. I brought two golden apples." said Ethan smiling.
' This girl's an idiot.'
Little did he know, Anna's thinking hard.
' If Shane and I each steal two golden apples, then our bank will be..'
Calculation
Belle .. 2R 10G Bank : 18R
Ethan . 2R 10G Bank : 18R
Gilbert 3R 11G Bank : 18R
Anna .. 2G 9R . Bank : 17G
Quinn . 2G 10R Bank : 18G
Shane . 2G 10R Bank : 18G
17 + 18 + 18 = 53 : 3 = 17,66
Belle 2R + 17,6 = 19,6 ( lose )
Ethan 2R + 17,6 = 19,6 ( lose )
Gilbert 3R + 17,6 = 20,6 ( win )
' If I declare Apple two, then he will get a compensation of two red apples. That way, he can win.' thought Anna.
Anna presses the button.
" Apple. Two." Anna smiles.
" Eeh ?!" shouted Ethan.
Ethan opens the bag.
It reveals two red apples.
" You.." Anna widens her eyes, " you lied ?"
" The guard saw through the thief's lie. The apples go to the guard."
Anna admits," I wanted to give you two apples !"
" Don't lie, you hypocrite !"
Ethan leaves, " I won't believe what you say anymore."
Anna stares at the red apples in front of her.

" What ?!" Quinn breathes, " because of your kindness, now we are going to lose !"
Current
Belle .. 2R 10G Bank : 18R
Ethan . 2R 10G Bank : 16R
Gilbert 3R 11G Bank : 18R
Anna .. 0G 11R Bank : 19G
Quinn . 2G 10R Bank : 18G
Shane . 0G 10R Bank : 20G
18 + 16 + 18 = 52 : 3 = 17,33
Anna 0G + 17,33 = 17,33 ( lose )
Quinn 2G + 17,33 = 19,33 ( lose )
Shane 0G + 17,33 = 17,33 ( lose )
19 + 18 + 20 = 57 : 3 = 19
Belle, Ethan, Gilbert ( win ) minimum need 1R to win.
" I'm going next !" said Quinn.
" But.. don't make them lose please." pleaded Anna.
" Like I care." Quinn walks away.

Round 5
' Belle passed ? Yes !' thought Anna.
" The guard didn't see through the thief's lie. The thief earns two apples."
Quinn smiles.
...
" Apple. One."
Anna stares at the screen showing Belle smiling.
Anna is shocked, Belle brought two red apples.
" The guard guessed right his apple but the other apple was his apple too. The thief earns two apples."
" She's.. terrifying." muttered Anna.
Anna widens her eyes and turns to Shane.
It's because Shane is laughing voicelessly.
" Terrifying, huh ?" mocked Shane.
Shane smirks.
" Eeh ?"
Anna glares at Shane after he whispers something to her.
