"So the 7-7 wrestler,based in past outcomes, was expected to win just less than half the time. this makes sense; their records in this tournament indicate that the 8-6 wrestler is slightly better. But in actuality, the wrestler on bubble won almost eight out of ten matches against his 8-6 opponent. Wrestlers on the bubble also do astonishingly well against 9-5 opponents.” (Pg.41 Para3)

When I read this part, it made me surprised. I know this sumo's problem which was caused by bout-rigging in 2011, but I have never seen a person who try to analyze clue by using such a statistics. This analysis has persuasive, so I had to convinced the fact again. However, I have been to their training center for sightseeing, and I saw that wrestlers worked hard. Therefore, I want to believe that some wrestlers do clean matches, and I wish the sumo will be improved.

The emotion which I felt when I was reading this chapter was surprise. Because the fact was worse than what I had thought.  
In the last chapter, the author said that incentive makes the problem worse, but The fact which is described in this chapter is that incentive also causes cheating. The author mentions that cheating is essential human behavior. In addition, even though the job which should regulate the students who are cheating basically is a teacher, some teachers are doing cheating in order to obtain incentive.
