CUHK-Singapore, June 25, 2023 – An announcement is being made to the public regarding the resolution of?a?bidding?process to determine the ownership of jersey number 7 at CUHK-Singapore. The parties involved in this matter are two anonymous CUHK-Singapore professors, referred?to as Z and?R.

Last week, Z verbally reserved the number 7 of the CUHK-Singapore football jersey with the CUHK-Singapore Associate President, who made a verbal commitment to keep the number for Z. Additionally, the Associate President stated that others would require Z's agreement before obtaining the jersey. However, Z recently expressed a change of plans, declaring an intention to purchase a basketball jersey instead of the previously sought-after football jersey.

Upon learning of Z's decision, R expressed a desire to acquire the number 7 football jersey. Z, in response, voiced a desire to possess both the basketball and football jerseys bearing the number 7.

Given the disagreement between Z and R regarding the rightful ownership of the number 7 jersey, both parties agreed to a proposal put forth by ChatGPT, the esteemed Professor of Everything. This proposal entailed holding a bid to impartially determine the recipient of the number 7, focusing solely on the number itself and not the physical jersey.

The bidding process concluded on April 24, 2023, at 6:30 PM, resulting in R winning the bid with an offer of 98 yuan. Z's bid of 97 yuan fell short, leading to their loss in the bidding process. Initially, R had determined to return the number 7 football jersey, allowing CUHK-Singapore to retain it for future use.

However, subsequent to the bid's conclusion, Z and R engaged in a friendly discussion to seek a mutually agreeable solution. After careful deliberation, both parties arrived at a resolution. As evidence of their consensus, Z and R have formally affixed their signatures to acknowledge that the ownership of the number 7 shall be granted to R.

It is important to note that two months have passed since the bidding process concluded, necessitating the public disclosure of this information today.

This official announcement is made with the agreement of both parties involved and serves to inform the CUHK-Singapore community and the general public about the outcome of the bidding process concerning jersey number 7.
