Ubik Von Neumann is an NPC located in the ф The Mountaintop in the Rift Dimension.
Purpose[]
Ubik Von Neumann offers the player 3 minigames.
Three Boxes[]
Ubik Von Neumann asks the player to choose one out of three boxes. After choosing one, they reveal an unchosen box and ask to keep the chosen box or switch. If the correct box was chosen, the player earns an
IQ Point. The first time the player chooses to switch, Ubik Von Neumann will ask why. Telling them that it increases the odds of being correct grants an Enigma Soul.
Ubik's Averages[]
Ubik's Averages lasts for one SkyBlock Year. The player is asked to pick a number from 1 to 100. The closest 10% of participants to half of the average obtain a
Free Will and Enigma Soul. Additionally, if a player picks a value at least 4x higher than the average, they earn
2x Free Will.
If the player fails to win 5 times, then Ubik Von Neumann will grant them the Enigma Soul without a
Free Will.
Split or Steal[]
Each game of Split or Steal can last between 5 to 9 rounds. If both player steal, they earn 1,000 Motes each. If both split, they earn 3,000 Motes. If one steals and the other splits, the stealer will earn 5,000 Motes while the other earns nothing. Upon copying each move of Ubik Von Neumann, the player earns
Ubik's Cube and an Enigma Soul.

Trivia[]
- The Split or Steal minigame is based off of the popular game theory thought experiment, the Prisoner's dilemma.
- The Three Boxes minigame is based off of the well known game theory and probability puzzle, the Monty Hall problem.
- Due to the Ubik's Averages minigame considering the closest 10% of participants, it is possible to lose even by picking a number that other players won with.
- In case of such a tie, the winners are determined based on unknown criteria (likely their Minecraft account UUID).
