Genius of the Rules-Style System

That night.

The interior of the empty venue was brightly lit.

Familiar audiences can recognize it at a glance. The middle of the venue is the recording stage of "Big Brain Bang".

The recording for this day is over.

The staff was cleaning up the scene, and some people came on stage to carefully remove the equipment.

A middle-aged man dressed in a long-sleeved T-shirt and jeans sat in the front row of the auditorium. There was a laptop on the small table in front of him. He frowned and stared at the screen without moving his eyes.

He is Zhou Fangsheng, the head of the "Brain Explosion" column group.

Zhou Fangsheng looked impatient, waved his hand and shouted, "Xiao Zhao! Come here."

The person called "Xiao Zhao" is a man in a casual suit. His face is firm and there is a faint smile, and he seems to give people a sense of "fairness and strictness".

People who often watch TV can recognize him at a glance. He is Zhao Bo, the host of "Big Brain Bang".

Zhao Bo walked quickly to the audience, "Editor Zhou, what's wrong?"

"What should we do about this on the Internet?" Zhou Fangsheng frowned and said, "Everyone is questioning our program, which will definitely affect our reputation, and reputation is our foundation."

Zhao Bo smiled bitterly, "He's not that Jia Hongning, and I don't know what he's doing talking about a high school competition when he has nothing to do!"

"and after?"

Zhou Fangsheng said in a sharp tone, "How did that student hacker named Zhao Yi get involved in our program? Without your acquiescence, Jia Hongning dared to say those things? It is childish to pursue legal responsibility!"

"This is ruining the image of the show!"

Zhao Bo murmured nothing.

Zhou Fangsheng sighed and did not continue. He was the head of the column group and also acted as half of the program's screenwriter, but he did not have to take care of everything.

The program "Brain Bang" is operated by multiple groups.

For example, Tianyuan Studio is responsible for selecting contestants, registering for auditions, and inviting guests.

For example, the TV station’s professional operations team is responsible for program promotion and commercial operations.

Zhao Bo is a member of the operations team.

This matter must be related to the operation team, but the team cannot be completely blamed. A large part of the credit for the popularity of "Brain Bang" must be attributed to the operation team.

In any job there will be mistakes.

Now we have a problem.

After the on-site work was over, Zhou Fangsheng gathered the main staff and held a small meeting to set the tone. "This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. We will first find professionals to analyze the video online and then make an announcement."

"If that doesn't work, go to Zheng Yang. He seems to be a high school student. Let's resolve it privately."

"We can no longer let public opinion ferment. As long as we can calm public opinion, the price is worth paying."

Everyone else nodded.

If it is beneficial to the promotion of "Big Brain", the hotter the public opinion fermentation, the better. Otherwise, it is best to have no public opinion, which will affect the reputation of the program and make the audience feel "cheated", which will become the fatal problem of the program. question.

…

The next morning, the "Brain Explosion" column team issued an announcement.

The announcement explained the public opinion on the Internet, saying that the program team dared to accept public doubts and would not use legal weapons because of this.

This amounts to an apology.

After that, Jia Hongning stood up and apologized again. The camera showed that he was very sincere. Whether it was sincere or fake, standing up and apologizing again left people speechless.

Discussions about this on the Internet are, "Jia Hongning was forced to apologize again. Last time it was the Department of Education, and this time it is the program team."

"It's so miserable!"

"He must feel bad!"

Most of them are just looking at the jokes. It is difficult for Jia Hongning to attract sympathy because he was the one who started the incident.

In addition, the announcement also stated that there was no fraud in the competition process in the program, and it was absolutely guaranteed to be fair and impartial. Some contestants also stood up and expressed support for the program team.

In response to the focus of public opinion on the Internet, which is the competition between Jia Hongning and Zhou Junkai, Li Lin, a heavyweight academic guest of the program team, Dr. Turtle of Stanford University and director of the Computer Society, said in an interview that "there can be no absolute fairness in disrupting the Rubik's Cube."

The scrambling rules of the "Brain Bang" program refer to the rules of the International Imitation Competition. The staff randomly twists and scrambles the Rubik's Cube twenty-two times (twisting 180 degrees in one direction only counts once).

Just because the Rubik's Cube has been disrupted twenty-two times does not mean that it needs to be restored twenty-two times. Random disruptions are also impossible. Each time the Rubik's Cube becomes more chaotic.

Therefore, it is normal for two scrambled Rubik's Cubes to appear and need to be restored with different number of steps.

In addition, Li Lin also questioned the accuracy of the data listed by Zhao Yi.

His original words were, "Just because he can solve the Rubik's Cube does not mean that he has the minimum number of steps. There may be a faster way to solve the Rubik's Cube faster."

"Until now, there is no efficient calculation method that can determine the minimum steps to restore a third-order Rubik's Cube."

"This is a problem all over the world."

at the same time.

Zhao Yizheng was immersed in the sea of ​​Mathematical Olympiad questions. He, Sun Liang, Lin Xiaoqing and others were doing the questions in the classroom.

Cow lotuses come early.

In the past few days, Niu Lianhua just came over to take a look and provide guidance on what questions should be done. She basically treated Zhao Yi, Lin Xiaoqing and others as 'free range', and the requirement was 'just come as long as you can' and do the questions. It’s also good to open your mind.

Sun Liang treats them differently.

Niu Lianhua not only helped Sun Liang choose the topic, but also looked at the answers and slowly guided Sun Liang's thinking.

This is the treatment of a biological son.

In fact, Niu Lianhua cannot be blamed. The main Mathematical Olympiad questions were too difficult. In less than an hour at noon, He Ronghua, Lin Xiaoqing and others were able to solve three or four simple questions, which was already quite good.

If the difficulty of the question is made more difficult, they can only stare at it and think hard for a long time, but they will not be able to do it at all.

That's what Mathematical Olympiad is.

Some children have received Mathematical Olympiad training since childhood and know how to think, so it is relatively easy for them to solve problems. Those who have not received Mathematical Olympiad training rely purely on thinking to solve problems. Their mathematical ability, talent, IQ, logical thinking ability, and luck have all become very poor. important.

Sun Liang is relatively much better.

He has never attended a Mathematical Olympiad training class, but he has always read Mathematical Olympiad books. His mathematics level is still very good and he can solve most of the questions.

today.

Niu Lianhua printed a test paper for everyone to take.

She distributed the test papers to several people and said, "This is the test paper from the city exam last year. You can try it out."

The city's exam is a qualification screening. Students who register participate in the qualification screening, and only if their scores meet the standards can they participate in the official Mathematical Olympiad competition in the province.

Zhao Yi took the test paper and glanced at it. There were six choices, six fill-in-the-blank questions, and four big questions. The test time was also 120 minutes. It had fewer questions than a normal math test, but it was definitely more difficult.

The city's Mathematical Olympiad qualifying test is far from the level of the Olympiad. It is just a screening test for participating students.

certainly.

For ordinary students, the difficulty is still very high.

After Zhao Yi got the test paper, he scanned the questions and made a simple calculation--

The test paper is worth 200 points in total.

You can definitely get 36 points for the multiple-choice question. The fill-in-the-blank question has two blanks and is similar to the multiple-choice question. The number of answers is limited, and you can get 18 points.

There are two proof questions in the big questions, and the score is 55.

If you only rely on the "Law of Cause and Effect" and "Contact Rate", you can almost get a passing score directly, but if you think about the city's test, a passing score is definitely not enough.

So you have to work hard.

It was helpful to brush up on math questions and think hard about Mathematical Olympiad questions before. After holding it in for more than half an hour, Zhao Yi still solved three fill-in-the-blanks and one big question. He also wrote down the choices and two fill-in-the-blanks with limited answers. On.

It's almost time.

Cow Lotus just turned around and looked around.

Since there were only five students, she looked at everyone very carefully.

Lin Xiaoqing, He Ronghua, and Zhou Xin were all expected. They only filled in a few choices and blanks, and the error rate was not low.

Zhou Xin made three wrong choices and only made one fill-in-the-blank question.

Lin Xiaoqing and He Ronghua both got one or two of the multiple-choice questions wrong, and they also made two fill-in-the-blank questions. He Ronghua also did half of a big question, and the thinking should be correct, while Lin Xiaoqing made a proof question.

"It seems that at this level in the city, Lin Xiaoqing and He Ronghua have some possibility."

Niu Lianhua pondered and walked next to Sun Liang.

Sun Liang had filled in all the multiple-choice questions, left two fill-in-the-blank questions blank, and completed one and a half major questions. Among them, only one multiple-choice question was wrong, and the other questions were basically correct.

The difference is obvious.

Niu Lianhua nodded with satisfaction, pointed out Sun Liang's wrong question, and then glanced at Zhao Yi's test paper. She didn't care at first, but after a few glances, she was stunned.

Choice, all right!

Five fill in the blanks, all correct!

A big question, the result is correct!

Niu Lianhua opened her mouth in surprise. Zhao Yi's question was 100% correct, and his speed was about the same as Sun Liang's.

She simply picked up Zhao Yi's test paper, read it carefully again, and shouted, "Zhao Yi, you did it so fast? Are you still right?"

Zhao Yi smiled.

Several other people looked over.

Lin Xiaoqing and Sun Liang were not surprised. Sometimes, Zhao Yi could do very difficult Mathematical Olympiad questions. He was fast at taking the test papers and had a high accuracy rate, so it seemed okay.

Sun Liang even wanted to split Zhao Yi's head open to see how he had developed recently, and how could he improve so quickly in mathematics?

He Ronghua and Zhou Xin were both surprised.

In the end, Niu Lianhua left in shock. She suddenly thought that Zhao Yi had scored 140 in the English test. His scores in other subjects had also improved rapidly, and he also got high scores in the monthly math test.

It seems normal to think so?

…

When they returned to the classroom, several people were still discussing the test papers, and Lin Xiaoqing kept talking.

Zhao Yi knew that Lin Xiaoqing was worried.

When Lin Xiaoqing was worried about something, she would keep talking and keep talking. He simply changed the topic, "It's a holiday tomorrow, do you still want to go to cram school?"

"Of course."

Lin Xiaoqing pouted depressedly, "Tomorrow morning, math, the day after tomorrow, physics."

"I can still rest in the afternoon, so I want to have some fun!"

This advice is useless.

I only have two days off in three weeks, and I have to attend cram school during the holidays, which means I don’t even have a normal rest.

"I'm going to the Internet cafe tomorrow and have fun all day long!" Sun Liang said with some anticipation.

Zhao Yi rolled his eyes and asked, "Monkey, didn't you say you don't want to play games anymore? And you have a computer at home, right?"

"My dad won't install the net."

Sun Liang became depressed when talking about this incident, "He said that when I go to college... I will still play on the computer at home when I go to college?"

"Hahaha~~"

Lin Xiaoqing smiled happily, and then asked Zhao Yi, "What are you doing on the weekend?"

"work overtime."

"work overtime?"

"I have a job to do, and I plan to finish it tomorrow." Zhao Yi explained casually.

Sun Liang suddenly suggested, "Zhao Yi, otherwise I will go find you tomorrow. Anyway, you have a computer at home."

"No use!"

Lin Xiaoqing suddenly smiled and said, "That's right! Zhao Yi, I don't know what to do tomorrow afternoon, so I'll just go to your house and we can play poker together."

"three people?"

Sun Liang was obviously unwilling.

"No!" Zhao Yi firmly refused, "I have something to do tomorrow, a lot of work, and it will take a long time. In addition to this, I also have part-time jobs that I haven't finished yet."

"What part-time job? As a waiter?" Sun Liang complained.

"I work part-time as a computer, and I can't even explain it to you!"

When Lin Xiaoqing heard this, she wanted to take a look even more. She pulled Zhao Linlin and smiled and said, "That's it! Tomorrow afternoon, I will take Linlin with me, and the four of us will play cards together."

"OK!"

Zhao Linlin smiled and nodded in response, "We play cards for money, so don't feel bad if you lose!"

"Of course."

"Certainly not!"

"I just want to play games online..."

Zhao Yi rubbed his forehead vigorously and could only nod his head and said, "Okay."

He thought that he would be almost done tonight, tomorrow morning and noon, and it seemed like a good idea to take some time off to relax and play cards.

"yeah!"

Several people cheered collectively.

Lin Xiaoqing sat back with a smile, her expression immediately turned into anger, her little mouth seemed to be swollen, and she whispered, "I'll just say no!"

"I said I would take Zhao Linlin with me and I immediately agreed!"

"Bastard Zhao Yi!"

"Bastard Zhao Yi, bastard Zhao Yi..."

Zhao Yi looked at Lin Xiaoqing who was mumbling something, patted her arm in confusion and asked, "You..."

"What's up!"

Lin Xiaoqing turned her head and forced a smile.

Zhao Yi stared at it for a long time, then smiled evilly and said, "I want to remind you to bring more money tomorrow. If you don't have enough money to play cards, hehehehehe."

"snort!"

Lin Xiaoqing snorted disdainfully.

after awhile.

[Flirting with girls, target: Lin Xiaoqing, learning coins +3. 】

Critical hit?

Zhao Yi raised his head in surprise and saw a touch of redness seemed to appear on the skin behind Lin Xiaoqing's ears.

This girl...

What are you thinking about?
