At the very beginning, Cai Zhiyuan considered the 'Minority Answer' as a potential bonus factor.
Because 'number of people' is a key variable in similar games.
The question is whether the 'Majority Faction' will get an extra reward, or whether the 'Minority Faction' will get an extra reward.
It might seem like there's a 50% chance for each, but from the designer's perspective, it's highly likely that the minority gets rewarded.
If it's assumed that the 'Majority Answer gets the reward,' it would inevitably cause player conformity and clustering, coupled with the rule of 'an extra reward for five people choosing the same answer,' which could significantly reduce the game's strategy aspect.
Because players with different options would only cluster together, not avoid each other.
The playability and strategy of the game would be greatly compromised.
