Everything changed when the fire crystal got stolen - Alex Gendler

Prevodilac: Tijana Ćopić Lektor: Ivana Korom

Someone has tripped the magical alarms in the Element Temple.

Neko je aktivirao magične alarme unutar Hrama Elemenata.

By the time you and the other monks arrive on the scene,

Kada se ti i drugi monasi pojavite na sceni,

you know you have a disaster on your hands.

znate da imate posla sa katastrofalnom situacijom.

Overnight, four young apprentices broke into the temple’s inner chamber

Preko noći su četiri mlada učenika provalila u unutrašnju odaju hrama

to steal the sacred element crystals.

kako bi ukrala svete kristale elemenata.

But when the alarm went off they panicked,

Međutim, kada se alarm aktivirao, počeli su da paniče

and each of them swallowed the crystal they held right before they were caught.

i svaki je progutao kristal koji je držao baš pre nego što su bili uhvaćeni.

With no idea how to control the crystals’ vast powers,

Pošto nisu imali pojma kako da kontrolišu ogromnu moć kristala,

they’ll soon transform into uncontrollable elemental spirits.

uskoro bi se pretvorili u nekontrolisane duhove samih elemenata.

Improbably enough,

Ali, za ne poverovati,

the old monk next to you has seen something similar happen before.

stari monah pored tebe video je pre nešto slično kako se desilo.

He explains: “You must determine who ate which crystal

On objašnjava: „Morate ustanoviti ko je pojeo koji kristal

and get each into the proper containment field before they transform.

i onda ih sve obuzdati odgovarajućim omotačem pre nego što se preobraze.

The elements compel their masters:

Elementi prisiljuju svoje gospodare na sledeći način:

those who ate the Earth and Water Crystals must speak the truth,

oni koji su pojeli zemljani i vodeni kristal moraju da govore istinu,

while those who consumed Fire and Air must lie."

dok oni koji su pojeli vatreni i vazdušni moraju da lažu.“

The youths are too scared to confess their own transgressions.

Mladi učenici bili su previše uplašeni da bi priznali svoj prestup.

Instead, they fall to accusing each other.

Umesto toga, počeli su da optužuju jedni druge.

“Rikku took the Water crystal!” Sumi blurts out.

„Riku je uzeo vodeni kristal!“, reče Sumi.

Rikku interrupts angrily.

Riku je ljutito prekide.

“It was Bella, she stole the Fire crystal!”

„Bela je kriva, ona je ukrala vatreni kristal!“

So Bella yells: “Jonah ate the Air crystal, I saw him!”

Te Bela povika: „Džona je pojeo vazdušni kristal, videla sam ga!“

Jonah looks up timidly and shakes his head.

Džona bojažljivo diže pogled i odmahuje glavom.

“I… I don’t know what happened, but Sumi doesn’t have the Earth crystal.”

„Ja... Ja ne znam šta se dogodilo, ali kod Sumi nije zemljani kristal.“

So who ate which crystal?

Dakle, ko je pojeo koji kristal?

Pause now to figure it out for yourself.

Pauziraj video i pokušaj da odgonetneš.

There’s no getting around it— this will take some trial and error.

Neizbežno je - biće ovde potrebni pokušaji i promašaji.

But that’s not a bad thing.

Ali to nije loša stvar.

If we make a wrong guess,

Ako nam nagađanje ne uspe,

we’ll eventually reach a point where our conclusions contradict each other.

pre ili posle će naša zaključivanja biti protivrečna.

That would allow us to confirm that our initial guess was wrong

Tako bismo potvrdili da je naše prvobitno nagađanje pogrešno

and work from there.

i tu bismo nastavili dalje.

This is a technique known as proof by contradiction.

Ovo je tehnika koja se naziva „svođenje na protivrečnost“.

The trick is in being strategic about where we begin our guessing.

Caka je u tome da strateški počnemo da nagađamo.

Some assumptions might not lead to contradictions

Određenim pretpostavkama nećemo doći do protivrečnosti

without making further assumptions.

osim ako ne budemo pravili dodatne pretpostavke.

We want to pick one that creates the most constraints on its own,

Želimo da odaberemo onu koja sama pravi najviše ograničenja,

and thus gives us the most information when it turns out to be right or wrong.

te nam na kraju daje najviše informacija time što je ispravna ili pogrešna.

Take, for example, Sumi’s statement.

Uzmimo, recimo, Suminu izjavu.

If we assume she’s telling the truth,

Ako pretpostavimo da govori istinu,

we’d know the identity of both truth tellers.

znali bismo identitet obe osobe koje govore istinu.

Rikku would have the Water crystal, and since she’s not lying about him,

Riku bi imao vodeni kristal, a pošto to ne bi bila laž,

Sumi would have Earth.

Sumi bi imala zemljani kristal.

So Bella would have the Fire crystal, as Rikku says.

Bela bi onda imala vatreni kristal, kao što je Riku rekao.

But then Bella would have to be lying about Jonah having the Air crystal.

Ali to bi onda značilo da Bela laže da je vazdušni kristal kod Džone.

And yet that’s the only remaining option.

A to nam je jedina preostala opcija.

This is a contradiction, and it tells us our initial assumption was wrong.

Ovo je protivrečnost, i govori nam da je naša prvobitna pretpostavka pogrešna.

So now we can go back to the start,

Sada možemo da se vratimo na početak,

but with the added knowledge that Sumi is lying.

uz novo saznanje da Sumi laže.

As a liar, Sumi must either have the Fire or Air crystal.

Pošto laže, kod Sumi mora da su ili vatreni ili vazdušni kristal.

That means Jonah was telling the truth about her,

To bi značilo da je Džona rekao istinu o njoj,

so he can’t have taken either of those.

tako da on nije uzeo ni jedan od ta dva.

And that means Bella was lying about him,

To bi takođe značilo da je Bela o njemu lagala,

so she must also have either Fire or Air.

tako da su kod nje vatreni ili vazdušni.

Since Sumi was lying, Rikku can’t have taken the Water crystal—

Pošto je Sumi lagala, Riku onda nije mogao uzeti vodeni kristal.

the only one left who could have it is Jonah.

Jedini kod koga bi mogao da bude jeste Džona.

And because we’ve already identified the two liars,

A pošto smo već otkrili dva lažova,

Rikku must have the Earth crystal.

Riku mora da ima zemljani kristal.

That means Bella has the Fire crystal and Sumi has Air.

To bi značilo da Bela ima vatreni kristal a Sumi ima vazdušni.

You manage to get them all in the proper containment fields

Sve ih uspešno obuzdavaš odgovarajućim omotačem,

just as the crystals’ magic begins to manifest.

baš pre nego što se magija kristala počne ispoljavati.

Compared with the difficult task of training these kids

U poređenju sa teškim izazovom učenja ove dece

to control their new powers,

da kontrolišu svoje nove moći,

figuring out who had which crystal was elementary.

otkrivanje ko je imao koji kristal bilo je mačji kašalj.
