Rule department scholar

"Humph!"

everyday.

do not worry about it.

The midterm exam is coming soon.

The learning atmosphere in Elite Class A is even better than usual, and there are very few people who speak softly in the self-study class.

Most of the people are reading very seriously, especially the students who are at the bottom of the rankings, and they take the time to study hard. They are worried that if their test scores are not good, they will be downgraded to the elite class B.

That's embarrassing.

There are only a few people in the class who are not worried about their grades, and the top-ranked students also hope to make progress.

This is true for Lin Xiaoqing and Zhao Linlin.

Lin Xiaoqing has always hoped to surpass He Ronghua and truly sit on the No.1 throne in the third grade.

Zhao Linlin was under pressure.

The last time the exam ranking dropped, Niu Lianhua gave her a hard training, and then her free time was taken up by tutoring. She hoped that her grades would be better, and she would have a reason to take fewer classes.

Zhao Yi was the least worried.

His grades have been improving rapidly, and reciting biology and chemistry textbooks is very effective. In the usual test questions, there are few knowledge points that he does not know.

The improvement of physics is also great, and common problems can be solved easily.

Now it is hard to say that he can catch up with Sun Liang in mathematics, but with the help of "The Law of Cause and Effect", he can guarantee the correct rate of the questions, and the score will not be bad in the exam.

English needless to say.

Zhao Yi's headache turned out to be Chinese. It is too difficult to improve his Chinese performance, and most of them can only rely on exams to perform.

He has been in a good mood for the past few days.

Earn money.

The Rubik's Cube Calculator is only a one-time paid software, but because of media reports, the popularity has greatly increased and it has brought good sales.

Now more than 30 people have purchased the unlock code for the Rubik's Cube calculator.

The payment that Zhao Yi directly received easily exceeded 600 million, and a large amount of income represented a large amount of happiness.

This income is still taxable.

He researched that it should be counted as "network business income", which is similar to the tax paid by individual industrial and commercial households. The tax rate is between 400 and [-], but the remaining tax is [-] million.

And that's not all income.

The right to sell the Rubik's Cube calculator overseas has been handed over to Cosmos Interactive. Cosmos Interactive will modify the art of the Rubik's Cube Calculator. Some sales will be made when it is posted overseas, and there will definitely be a large amount of income in the future.

In fact.

The situation of the Rubik's Cube calculator overseas is even better than that in China, probably because the computer penetration rate in European and American countries is much higher than that in China, and the awareness of online copyright is much stronger than in China.

The country is still in an era where online software piracy is rampant, and most people cannot accept software payment.

European and American countries have long been used to it.

The Rubik's Cube calculator is priced at $5 overseas, and it attracted a large number of purchases when it was put on the shelves in the first day of the new year.

This is thanks to the public opinion of the media.

Many overseas Rubik's cube enthusiasts, or those who are interested in new technologies and algorithms, hope to download a trial.

soon.

The impact of the Rubik's Cube calculator being launched overseas came out.

The first one to respond was the World Rubik's Cube Association. Like the Chinese Rubik's Cube Association, they issued an announcement announcing that the Rubik's Cube calculator will be used in future third-order Rubik's Cube competitions to determine the minimum number of steps required for the initial state of the Rubik's Cube. To make the game more fair.

The World Rubik's Cube Association also decided to improve the competition rules related to the third-order Rubik's Cube.

For example, quick twist.

The fast twisting of the third-order Rubik's Cube is based on hand speed. Before that, there was a certain element of luck. The speed of the players solving the Rubik's Cube was too fast, and it was over in five or six seconds. There must be something unreasonable in it.

The World Rubik's Cube Association decided to stipulate the minimum steps for speed-twisting Rubik's Cube restoration, and the number initially set will definitely exceed eighteen.

Blind screwing also resets the rules.

The difficulty of blind screwing is much higher than that of speed screwing. Players' memory is more important than hand speed, but if there are too many steps, there will be many players unable to complete the blind screwing event, which will greatly reduce the audience of the event.

The Rubik's Cube Association also started discussions on this, hoping to formulate the most reasonable minimum steps.

The announcements and actions of the World Rubik's Cube Association are equivalent to recognizing the effect of the Rubik's Cube calculator.

So do most people.

When a tool software can't find any problems, everyone will subconsciously choose to trust and use it, because they only need to know, "the Rubik's Cube calculator is very useful and the effect is very good" is enough.

There is still controversy in academia.

Foreign computer experts and mathematicians are unwilling to believe that a Chinese high school student has really solved the third-order Rubik's Cube.

Even if there is a team from the National Academy of Sciences that lists the use of data as support, they still do not want to believe it. They also have reasons to support their ideas, "rigorous science must be proved!"

"The Rubik's cube calculator can't tell everything!"

The Rubik's Cube Calculator does not disclose the core algorithm to the public. What people see is the use effect. Without the core algorithm, the use effect is not enough to prove anything. Many institutions have begun to study seriously, hoping to use the Rubik's Cube Calculator to deduce the core. algorithm.

This is why a new algorithm cannot be kept secret forever.

Professor Morley Davidson, a mathematician at Kent State University, is unwilling to believe that the Rubik's Cube calculator has solved the third-order Rubik's Cube. He is one of the most important figures. He had a nickname called "Rubik's Cube Algorithm Expert" before.

Now the nickname has taken on an ironic meaning.

There have been reports in the media, saying that Murray-Davidson's 15 years of Rubik's Cube research can't keep up with a Chinese high school student.

Morey Davidson was hit hard.

At the very beginning, Davidson downloaded the Rubik's Cube calculator, and energetically experimented with each Rubik's Cube state, hoping to find out the bugs in the Rubik's Cube calculator's internal algorithm, to show that the calculator's algorithm is not perfect.

In the end he didn't find it either.

After continuously experimenting with thousands of sets of data, Davidson's hair was stuck to his face, and his beard had not been trimmed for several days, making him look decadent from top to bottom.

Concerned call from Toscona, "How's it going, dude? Still working on that calculator?"

Toscona is a senior programmer who has also been looking for the number of God and joined the research team with Davidson.

"I tried it, no problem."

Toscona said, "Dude, accept it, there are always some things in the world like this, some geniuses have a hard time researching results all their lives, but some people are mediocre, just lucky, something happens, and something happens. New ideas, maybe you can get a Nobel Prize for it.”

Toscona continued, "Now we have to make a choice, either to disband the team, or to have a perfect ending. I have discussed with Bill and the others. Our team has been established for five years, and there must always be a team. In the end, we wanted to simplify the overlay method together, and applied to use Google's supercomputer, using the Rubik's cube calculator to complete the final calculation."

"According to the data released by the Chinese team, it may only take one or two days, or even a shorter time, to cover all the Rubik's Cube states."

Davidson was silent for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh.

He seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, that's it."

Simultaneously.

Zhao Yi took the commercial car of the "Brain Explosion" program group to the conference room of an office building in the science and technology park on the west side of Zhengyang City.

Originally, he wanted to challenge the record in a low-key manner, but the matter was found out by the school.

Principal Wang Seung-min organized the 'Challenge Cheering Squad'.

Lin Xiaoqing, Zhao Linlin, Sun Liang, Sun Jiali and others all joined the cheerleading team and the school even sent a car to take them to the place where Zhao Yi challenged the record.

"Whether you succeed or not, you are doing honor to the Thirteenth High School!"

"Come on, don't feel burdened!"

"We all believe in you!"

After Wang Chengmin finished speaking, he waved his hand, and immediately burst out, "Zhao Yi, come on! Zhao Yi, you are a student of No. [-] Middle School, you will definitely be able to do it!"

This……

Zhao Yi turned his head and glanced at the back. There was a row of Sun Liang wearing the school uniform of No. [-] Middle School and holding the big characters of "No. [-] Middle School, Zhao Yi, come on."

Anyway, it's awkward.

Wang Chengmin really didn't miss the opportunity to advertise the school!

But No. [-] High School is just an ordinary high school. No matter how much advertising is done, it is difficult to increase the enrollment rate if the student source is not enough. The most is to increase the popularity. The teachers and students of No. [-] No. [-] High School can be a little brighter when they go out.

Ok.

This does work too.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, greeted the program crew, and walked towards the judges sent by the Guinness agency.

Challenge, let's start now!

Start now, end now!

don't worry...

Chapter 85 The Lonely Sorrow of a Master

The "Brain Explosion" program team attached great importance to Zhao Yi's record challenge. They not only invited the reviewers from Guinness China Agency, but also invited two notaries from the government department.

In addition, there is a Witness from abroad.

Belund Kowalczyk is a professional Rubik's Cube blind twister from Poland.

His blind twisting of the third-order Rubik's Cube ranks No. 14 in the world, No. 20 in the world for blind twisting of the fourth-order Rubik's Cube, and No. [-] in the single blind twisting of the fifth-order Rubik's Cube.

At the same time, he maintained the record of "blind twisting the world's number one", successfully resolving all 54 third-order Rubik's Cubes blindly twisted in 14 minutes and 41 seconds.

Kovalczyk was very curious about Zhao Yi. He was invited to participate in the "Brain Explosion" column, but he did not expect to come to witness the challenge of Rubik's cube blind twisting record.

When shaking hands with Zhao Yi politely, he focused on Zhao Yi's hand, and asked a little strangely, "Don't you often play Rubik's Cube?"

His English has a strong local accent.

Zhao Yi was not used to hearing it, but still understood the meaning, nodded and smiled, "I rarely play Rubik's Cube."

"Then why do you want to challenge the record?" What Kovalchik said was that you have rarely played the Rubik's Cube, and it is a bit overwhelming to challenge the Rubik's Cube record.

"because."

Zhao Yi said and pointed to his head.

Kovalczyk didn't understand it, he looked around with some disdain, and felt that the challenge scene was a show scene.

"Brain Explosion" is a variety show, with the name of "brain" on it, and the promotion is a science show. In essence, many items and rules are self-created, and the rules of the Rubik's Cube are not perfect.

It is understandable that this kind of variety show uses some gimmicks in order to increase the ratings. Maybe the other party is more famous, and failure to challenge the record can also help the show attract traffic.

"It must be so!"

Looking at the cheerleaders formed by a row of students in the distance, Kovalchik's disdain grew stronger.

Zhao Yi just had a few words with Kovalchik, and then sat in the challenge position. He listened to the Guinness judge talking about the rules, and he drank his saliva and stretched his fingers to prepare.

Then he made an 'ok' gesture, indicating that he was ready.

The conference room fell silent.

Rubik's cube's blind twisting project, the most important thing is memory, and the noisy environment will greatly affect the player's performance.

The judge handed over a blindfold and asked Zhao Yi to wear it on his forehead, "After you pull off the blindfold, the timer will start."

"it is good."

Kovalczyk walked over with the restored Rubik's Cube, and then randomly scrambled it under the watchful eyes of the judges.

After the Rubik's Cube was messed up, two notaries wanted to go there. They entered the status of the Rubik's Cube into the computer, and immediately got the minimum number of steps to restore the Rubik's Cube - 16.

"16, can you?"

The judge looked at Zhao Yi.

In the previous Rubik's Cube record challenge, you can start after making sure that the disturbance complies with the rules. After you have the Rubik's Cube calculator, there is an embarrassing situation. The minimum steps calculated are few, which may make people feel that the players are lucky, and the Rubik's Cube Association It has not been determined yet, what is the specific minimum reduction step for the Rubik's Cube used in the competition.

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "Too few, twenty times is best."

"you sure?"

"Correct!"
