Chapter 53 National Mathematics Olympiad Competition 4

Teacher Yuan didn't speak, so Liao Yuanbai naturally couldn't speak.After all, he is just a student, so naturally he would not hate Teacher Zheng in front of his teacher.He pretended that he didn't hear it, and instead approached Zheng Yi and asked in a low voice, "How is it, did you see it?" His voice was not loud, but it wasn't whispering either.The students next to him could naturally hear it, and they focused all their eyes on Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi smiled wryly and shook his head.He really didn't see that the competition system of the qualifiers was different from the Provincial Mathematical Olympiad.These rankings are based on each province's overall performance, from top to bottom.Zheng Yi saw the No.1 provincial team from the No.8 provincial team, but none of them was Long Province.

Just when Zheng Yi shook his head, Teacher Zheng's annoying voice sounded out of place.

"Don't look at it, just because there is a guy in your Long Province who slept through the whole exam, how could he still make it to the finals." Teacher Zheng's voice seemed to be a little arrogant, and he smiled so eccentrically that people hated it Tooth itching.

Liao Yuanbai clasped his hands in front of his chest, showing a sneer.Of course he knew why he had to sleep until the end to do these questions, wasn't it just to deal a fatal blow to this group of students who were more eye-catching and higher than the top.Originally, he could finish it in three to ten minutes, but the impact on this group of students from Yue Province must not be too great.If he was the last one to come out, but his test scores were the best... then many of the students in this group of Yue provinces may not be exposed to the subject of mathematics in the future, and their scores may even plummet.

This is like being subjected to a great humiliation and an insurmountable gap, so that when they see Mathematical Olympiad or books related to mathematics in the future, they will involuntarily think of the student who slept in an exam and can still beat them.

Of course, Liao Yuanbai didn't want to do this originally.But this opening was made by Teacher Zheng. When he provoked Teacher Yuan, he wanted their students in Long Province to make some mistakes.Liao Yuanbai would not be polite if he might be banned from participating in the Mathematical Olympiad for life.

He is in a good mood now, and he doesn't bother arguing with Mr. Zheng.The rest of the students didn't speak up either, they still believed in Liao Yuanbai.

After all, Liao Yuanbai's strength lies there, Teacher Yuan just frowned and didn't speak.

"I see, I see..." Zheng Yi suddenly shouted loudly, "We are No. 11!" All the students in Long Province held their breath and looked at Zheng Yi.Teacher Yuan was stunned for a moment, and asked, "How are the results distributed?" Teacher Yuan still knows the rules of the National Mathematical Olympiad quite well.

Each province has a total score, followed by each student's score.That's why Zheng Yi looked at it so slowly, and Teacher Yuan didn't show any anxious look.

Teacher Zheng froze for a moment. He looked at Teacher Yuan in disbelief and muttered to himself, "How is it possible? How could it be eleventh? One student didn't do anything..." Teacher Yuan sneered. With a groan, he said loudly, "Zheng Yi report the score."

"Liao Yuanbai, 120 points..." After Zheng Yi finished speaking, all the students turned their heads to look at Zheng Yi.Even students from other provinces turned their heads, the additional questions are difficult, this is the consensus of all students.This paper originally only had 120 points, and with the addition of [-] points for additional questions, it would have [-] points.

The guy who can get 120 points in the test is at least the guy who is scheduled to be the first level in the finals.No, maybe the special prize can be booked in advance.

"Wang Kaiyu, 105 points." Zheng Yi took a look, and the distance between Wang Kaiyu and Liao Yuanbai widened in an instant.It was probably when Wang Kaiyu made a mistake in the last additional question.

Until Zheng Yi finished reading all the scores, Teacher Zheng said frantically, "That's not right, one of your students didn't take the exam at all, how could he not get a zero score?"

"Are you talking about me?" Liao Yuanbai turned around and smiled at Teacher Zheng.

The students in Yue Province looked unhappy, and they said in a low voice, "That's right, it's you, you didn't do any papers at all. How could there be any test scores, does it have anything to do with you...or is this just covering up!" The shouts of Yuesheng's students became louder and louder, and everyone's eyes were on them, Yuesheng and Longsheng.

Liao Yuanbai said with a smile, "It seems that you didn't wait until I left the examination room, no, you didn't wait until I started writing. By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing. I didn't start writing until the last 10 minutes... My name is Liao Yuanbai."

Liao Yuanbai?Which Liao Yuanbai, is that the Liao Yuanbai who scored 120 points in the test and did not even make mistakes in the extra questions?

All the students looked at Liao Yuanbai with unbelievable eyes. The additional questions were indeed too difficult, and only Liao Yuanbai got full marks in the test.And this guy didn't start working on the questions until the last 10 minutes?Doesn't that mean... this guy is not human at all, right?Is it necessary to hang them like this?

"What?" A student from Yue Province cried out aloud, looking at Liao Yuanbai with an unbelievable expression, even with a trace of fear in his expression.

It's impossible, it's impossible at all... It took her a lot of effort to finish such a difficult paper in the National Mathematical Olympiad.This guy who's been sleeping all this time told himself that he was done in the last half hour?This... is this impossible?He fell to the ground in a daze, like a rag bag.

Liao Yuanbai even said cruelly, "Oh, by the way, I finished the entire paper in only 15 minutes. I don't know why, but the difficulty of this paper is too low."

"Fuck..."

"Crazy, crazy..."

"This is the legendary god of learning?"

"I suddenly discovered that the god of learning in our capital is nothing in front of this god of learning!"

"Congestion, people are more angry than people, even if it's done in 15 minutes, don't say it, it's too shocking."

"You're stupid, it's obvious. Long Xing and Yue Xing have a grudge against each other. This god of learning is not attacking you, but the students of Yue Xing. If they make it to the final... Anyway, their confidence has already collapsed now Now, there is almost no need to worry about the finals, it is Long Xing, and the other students are fine. It is this Liao Yuanbai and Wang Kaiyu who are a bit difficult to deal with..." A teacher not far away shook his head.

"Wang Kaiyu is okay. The highest score of students in our capital is 110 points, ranking second. But isn't this Liao Yuanbai a bit too weird? What kind of way? After only 15 minutes, he managed to get a full score. ?” The other teacher looked at Liao Yuanbai suspiciously.

"I don't know, but I heard that the papers for the finals of the organizing committee seem to be urgently changed. Do you think it has something to do with this guy?"

"In my opinion, the full score of 15 minutes is basically provoking the organizing committee."

..............................

When everyone was talking about Liao Yuanbai, Zheng Yi suddenly said, "No. 20 in Yue Province, did not enter the final."

First, Longxing entered the final, then he thought that the student who did not do any papers at all got the only perfect score in the qualifiers, and finally Yuexing did not enter the final. Under the triple blow, Teacher Zheng was so angry that he couldn't speak.His face turned red and white.Turning around and leaving, the student beside him lowered his head, looking distraught, it seemed that he had been hit hard.

"Fortunately, we have Liao Yuanbai and Wang Kaiyu in our team, which raised the average score a lot." After Teacher Zheng and the students from Yue Province left, Zheng Yi said, "I took a look, from No. From the beginning of 10, the average scores were very close. If it weren't for the high scores of Liao Yuanbai and Wang Kaiyu... we might not have made it to the final."

"Isn't it based on the total score this time?" Teacher Yuan finally came to his senses. He tilted his head and looked at Zheng Yi in a daze. "Is it the average score?" .The same is true for the organizing committee. The rules can be changed as soon as they are said. Isn’t it a little too capricious?

"That's right!" Zheng Yi moved his eyes away from the posting board, "It is to calculate the average score. If it is the total score, our ranking is not so high. We can only reach the eighteenth... But Anyway, it can be regarded as being able to enter the finals.”

"Okay." Teacher Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, it is enough for him and his students to enter the final.A smile was drawn at the corner of his mouth, and he said softly, "Well, since everyone has entered the finals, I will be the host and have a good meal in the capital."

The students cheered and left Jinghua University behind Teacher Yuan.

After the meal, the students returned to the hotel and had a good night's sleep.Thinking of not having to see the sloppy faces of those students in Yue Province in the future, they want to laugh out loud in their dreams.

Two days before the final exam, Mr. Yuan gathered the students together early in the morning to start training.After all, they entered the finals, and Teacher Yuan also wanted the students to do well in the exam.Not to mention the special prize and the first prize, at least the second prize and the third prize he still wants to get.After all, they have already entered the finals. If they can't win more awards, it will be very disappointing.Of course, Teacher Yuan did not expect to be able to enter the finals when he came to the National Mathematical Olympiad Finals.

The students in every province here are very strong, and anything can happen.Fortunately, my student Liao Yuanbai was strong enough to get the only highest score in the entire qualifiers, and his average score was raised a lot.Perhaps, this time, there will be some new changes in the education of the entire Long Province.

To be honest, even if Liao Yuanbai is being recruited by Jinghua University now, Teacher Yuan still believes it.And when he was in the special training camp, only Liao Yuanbai didn't come, and this guy went to Jinghua University to take classes again.Of course, Teacher Yuan didn't pursue it. After all, Liao Yuanbai was originally a very good student. It would be good to let him go to Jinghua University to take classes and feel the atmosphere.He once heard from Liao Yuanbai that his goal was the School of Physics of Jinghua University.This kid, I don't know what he was thinking, but he wanted to study physics despite his good grades in mathematics. Speaking of which, Teacher Yuan still felt that Liao Yuanbai's talent in mathematics was wasted.

Time flies, and Teacher Yuan came to Jinghua University after taking the students to eat in the morning.Perhaps because this was the final final and it was related to the selection of the International Mathematical Olympiad, there was a little more tension in the examination room.Teacher Yuan stood outside the examination room, encouraged the students, and let the students enter the examination room.

The examination room this time is completely scattered, and all students set up the examination room according to the ranking of the qualifiers from high to low.Walking into the first examination room, Liao Yuanbai was stunned for a moment. He remembered that there were still a few people who got more than 100 points in the test. He didn't expect Wang Kaiyu to be assigned to the second examination room.In other words, even a score of 105 cannot enter the first examination room.There are fifteen students in an examination room, but Wang Kaiyu can't even get into the fifteenth place...and the International Mathematical Olympiad only needs five contestants. According to this... Doesn't it mean that Wang Kaiyu can't participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad?

While thinking about it, someone asked aloud, "Are you God Liao, Liao Yuanbai?"

Liao Yuanbai froze for a moment, looking at the man who called himself Liao Shen just now.He pointed to the seat in front of him with a smile and said, "You are No.1, so you must be sitting in the first seat."

"Thank you." Liao Yuanbai thanked that person and then came to his seat.

"I heard that you did the paper in the last half an hour." The man sat behind Liao Yuanbai, probably No.2. "It's amazing. I started doing it with the paper in hand, and it took me an hour to finish the whole paper, and I didn't score as high as you..." The man seemed a little frustrated, and said with a hint of self-mockery, "It seems that a scumbag like me can't compare to God Liao."

"..." Liao Yuanbai pursed his lips, and smiled embarrassedly, "What did you tell me to be? I really thought I could get full marks without even reading the questions. To be honest, the invigilator I read the paper again when it was handed out. It’s just that I didn’t start writing, and I don’t know how it will be passed on by you.”

"Shen Liao, don't say any more. I just want to ask you to be merciful, and don't pretend to be so aggressive when you're beating me and other scumbags." The man made a gesture of begging, which looked a little funny.

"You got a score of 114." Liao Yuanbai glanced at this person's grades, "Students like you call themselves scumbags. If the real scumbags in your school hear about it, I'm afraid they will be beaten."

"No, no, in front of you, I dare to be called a scumbag." He patted his chest as he said, "Fortunately, God Liao didn't do it just by looking at the paper. But, the ability to do mental arithmetic is also... ...It's too strong, I just made a draft in my heart and wrote it on the paper. I heard that your draft paper is very clean."

Liao Yuanbai didn't speak, he looked at the searching expression of the person behind him, and rubbed his eyebrows.The reason why he wants to become a great scientist is that he doesn't want to engage in any human relations.Anyway, after becoming a scientist, you just need to stay in your own laboratory.You don't have to worry about other things at all.Oh, by the way, it is absolutely impossible to not have money.Therefore, he must become famous in the past few years of studying, otherwise no one will give an unknown scientist a sum of valuable research funding.

Maybe...you can study biology yourself.Drugs can really make money. If you can research some patented drugs, you can probably research topics you are interested in just by collecting patent fees.

Liao Yuanbai was thinking about it, but the invigilator had already walked in.He was holding a sealed bag, followed by an old man who looked to be 60 or [-] years old. The invigilator said with a smile, "I will find the paper later, and everyone will see if there are any mistakes or omissions. Let's start answering the questions." He didn't even bother to reiterate the discipline of the examination room, after all, all the students who made it to this point did not rely on cheating.

For these students, cheating is their greatest shame.

After handing out the paper, Liao Yuanbai couldn't wait to unfold the paper and read it.Well, the papers for the finals are really interesting, and they are more than one or two more difficult than the qualifiers.Did I really anger the organizing committee and let the teachers of the organizing committee make this not-so-difficult test paper overnight?Naturally, Liao Yuanbai didn't know. He looked at the test paper, and there were several questions that only appeared in advanced mathematics. Even when he turned to the last additional question, he became a little stunned.

Isn't this question the same type of question that the teacher taught when he was taking a class at Jinghua University that day?This is a particularly difficult geometry problem, even a college student in the mathematics department may not be able to solve it.Taking this kind of question as an additional question, I don't know what the teacher who made the test paper wants.

Liao Yuanbai is full of calculations, and it will take him an hour and a half to finish this set of papers, so he hastened to do it.If thinking is added, I'm afraid two hours may not be enough time... Is this just to trick yourself?Liao Yuanbai looked at the paper in bewilderment, and the rest of the students scratched their heads. The first question already broke their hearts.

Not to mention the following topics, the more I look at it, the more I collapse.What the hell is this? I used to think that my mathematics was not bad, but after looking at this set of questions, the candidates have already begun to doubt life.

Let's do it, Liao Yuanbai took a pen and started to write.While these students were still in a daze, Liao Yuanbai had already started writing.There was no sound in the whole classroom, only Liao Yuanbai's voice made everyone focus on him.But he didn't seem to feel anything strange, and he was still writing the paper on his own.

Holding a white draft paper, Liao Yuanbai kept writing and drawing on the draft paper.The invigilator nodded at the five or sixty-year-old man with a smile, and the old man curiously walked to Liao Yuanbai's side and watched with relish.

As expected of God Liao, their scalps were already numb looking at these topics, but Liao Yuanbai had already started to do it unexpectedly.Is this the difference between a god of learning and a scumbag of learning?Today is another day of being beaten by the god of learning Liao!The students present thought this way, but the invigilator moistened his throat and said, "Why do you watch others do it, and start doing the questions yourself, the exam is only two hours long."

"..." The students realized that they only had two hours. If they didn't hurry up, they might not be able to solve a single problem.

"There is something wrong with your thinking..." The old man suddenly said, "The solution to this geometry problem is not like this at all, it's just nonsense!" The old man had moved to the side of the person behind Liao Yuanbai at some point, Blowing his beard and staring at Jiang Shan, he shook his head.

The person behind Liao Yuanbai was sweating profusely, and the invigilator said dumbfounded, "Mr. Chen, this is an exam." He reminded the old man that now is not the time to give instructions to the students, but the exam.This old Chen has a high status in the School of Mathematics of Jinghua University, so the invigilator naturally didn't want to offend him.Fortunately, Mr. Chen also knew that this was an exam, so he couldn't make any loud noises. He could only walk to the podium and sit down, muttering with a beard and staring eyes, "This class of candidates is the worst class of candidates I have ever seen."

Liao Yuanbai naturally didn't listen to Mr. Chen's words. He had already finished counting the first page of the paper, which took almost half an hour.The main event has just begun, and the previous questions are relatively easy to do.As long as there are no mistakes in the calculation, you can get full marks.But the latter questions seem extremely perverted.Especially a few geometry questions, they are simply testing the bottom line of the students.

Fortunately, when he was taking classes at Jinghua University these days, he took the opportunity to ask the teacher a few geometry questions.He still has some basic knowledge of geometry, so he took the draft paper and started to write and draw.After more than ten minutes, I finished the first question.There are ten questions slowly. If you don't speed up, you will definitely not be able to finish it before handing in the paper.

The rules of the final are very strict, as long as you ring the bell and start writing, you will get zero points.Liao Yuanbai had no choice but to continue to speed up, and solved the second question in 7 minutes.

The third and fourth questions are relatively simple, and they are algebra problems.Liao Yuanbai quickly gave the answer, and after an hour, Liao Yuanbai did the final additional question.This question is abnormal at first glance. Liao Yuanbai estimates that there will not be too many students who can finish all the previous test papers, and even fewer students who have enough time to read the additional questions.And with such a perverted additional question, there are only a few people who can not collapse. As long as he solves this additional question, the No. 1 is basically guaranteed.Unless there is a dark horse jumping out somewhere, and I made a mistake again.

When he started working on the questions, Liao Yuanbai carefully wrote down his steps on the draft paper, and it took nearly 10 minutes to calculate the answer.

Fortunately, the invigilator left a little room for the candidates, not the geometry problem that Liao Yuanbai preached during the lecture.If it was a geometry problem of the same type and level, I am afraid that Liao Yuanbai would not be able to solve it within two hours.At first glance, this question looks like a question of the same level, but if you really look at the question carefully, you will know that Liao Yuanbai fell into a trap when he was browsing just now.

This question teacher is very skinny!

Liao Yuanbai wrote the answer on the paper, raised his hand with a sigh of relief and said, "Teacher, hand in the paper."

The invigilator looked at the watch in his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the exam will be over in 5 minutes, this student can wait a bit."

Mr. Chen muttered beside him, "It took so long to finish, I thought how good the first place in the qualifiers was."

Liao Yuanbai was very angry and funny, and these were all variants of advanced mathematics.He's a junior high school student, so it's already amazing if he can finish it, okay?Old man, do you have any misunderstandings about junior high school students?

"The bell..." sounded, and the invigilator also stood up from the stool and said, "Okay, everyone, stop writing. If I see a student who doesn't stop writing, I will give zero points." They all shook their heads and sighed, this paper is too difficult... When I did it, I didn't know whether I was right or not, even after I finished it, I still looked confused.

"God Liao." The student behind asked after the invigilator accepted his paper, "God Liao, what do you think of the difficulty of this paper? Anyway, I... have no idea what I did "The student said with a wry smile, "Speaking of which, I just looked at the additional questions and wrote a few steps, but I felt that there was something wrong with that step. It seems that this set of papers is more inclined to advanced mathematics."

Liao Yuanbai nodded, "Almost all of them are variant questions of advanced mathematics. They can be solved with the knowledge of Mathematical Olympiad, but they are very difficult. Especially in terms of the amount of calculation, it can be called terrifying. As for the last additional question... I think it is a certain problem. It’s the bad taste of a teacher who writes papers.”

"It's so difficult!" The wailing of the students sounded in the classroom, and Liao Yuanbai didn't cry with the group of students, but returned to Teacher Yuan's side after leaving the examination room.

"How about student Liao Yuanbai, I saw that none of the students in the examination room came out early. What is the situation, is it not allowed...or?" Teacher Yuan was a little puzzled. Based on his experience, even if it is a final question, it is impossible to compare it to the final question. How difficult is the qualifiers.Seeing Liao Yuanbai's relaxed face, he thought the final questions were not too difficult.

Unexpectedly, Liao Yuanbai shook his head and said, "It's not that we are not allowed to go out, but there is no way to get out. This paper is simply making things difficult for us. It is too difficult. When I finished the whole paper, I was only 5 minutes away from handing in the paper. I You can only wait 5 minutes in the examination room."

"So difficult?" Teacher Yuan couldn't believe it. Liao Yuanbai's mathematics level was comparable to that of those majors in the mathematics department.Just like this, I feel that this set of papers is too difficult. Does the teacher who produced the papers want to go to heaven?

Not surprisingly, the students in Long Province all had mournful faces when they left the examination room.Seeing that Teacher Yuan was almost losing confidence, he could only ask, "Student Liao Yuanbai, how much do you think you can score in the test?" He looked at Liao Yuanbai, wanting to let Liao Yuanbai give the students some confidence.

Liao Yuanbai shook his head and said, "I can't tell, I don't have time to check the papers at all, 5 minutes...is not enough. If I don't make mistakes, I mean if my first instinct is right, it should be a perfect score. But , if my first instinct is wrong, I'm afraid the test scores will be very bad."

Teacher Yuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Liao Yuanbai, who has always been determined and confident, would give this answer.Of course he knew that Liao Yuanbai's so-called first intuition is the first way to solve the problem, which is a way to solve the problem quickly.When you see a question, you immediately choose a method that best matches it and solve the question.Of course, although this method is simple, it has a fatal flaw.That's gut feeling, because it's the brain's first reaction, and maybe it's wrong.If the time is too late, I'm afraid it will be... as Liao Yuanbai said, it will be very miserable!

"Oh, that's fine. Let's just wait for the results!" Teacher Yuan smiled helplessly. At this time, there is no other way but to resign to fate.

The results of the Mathematical Olympiad finals will be announced two days later, divided into individual results and provincial team results.The provincial team sets the first prize, second prize, and third prize, and there is no special prize.The top five individuals with the best personal performance will be included in the list of the International Mathematical Olympiad Competition by the organizing committee, and will stay at Jinghua University for training to prepare for the International Mathematical Olympiad Competition.

Of course, this is not an absolutely safe quota, No.6 to No.10 are reserve quotas.As long as there are any mistakes in the top five during the training camp, there will be replacements, which is not uncommon in previous sessions.

This is also what the organizing committee wants to tell these proud children of heaven. It does not mean that you can sit back and relax after being included in the list.If you don't work harder, you may be replaced at any time.

Two days later, the tormented teacher Yuan brought the dejected students to the bulletin board of Jinghua University.At this time, there were not many students, so Teacher Yuan came relatively early.He came to see the results with an attitude of dying early and being born early.

There are not many students around, but there are still some students from other provinces who are whispering.They nodded to Teacher Yuan and Longxing's students in a friendly manner. When they looked at the bulletin board, Teacher Yuan's heart was beating.

In the team competition, only the average score is announced, while the individual results are announced from top to bottom in the column of the individual competition, regardless of province.

In this team competition, there are three first prizes, four second prizes, and five fifth prizes.In other words, among the twenty provinces, there are still eight provinces that have no awards, not even consolation prizes.

The first thing Mr. Yuan watched was of course the team competition, No.1, without Longsheng. No.2, there is still no dragon province. No.3, there is still no dragon province.The ranking of Long Province is No. 15, which is only three places behind No. 12, and what is even more exasperating is that the average score is only one point away.

"Fuck..." Wang Kaiyu suddenly uttered a dirty word, "Liao Yuanbai, you pervert..."

"What?" Liao Yuanbai looked at Wang Kaiyu in confusion. He was looking at the ranking of the team competition, but he did not expect that Wang Kaiyu had already moved to the ranking of the individual competition.

"Look for yourself, your test scores and rankings..." Wang Kaiyu didn't say much, but pointed to the bulletin board in front of him, turned his head in horror, and looked at Liao Yuanbai, with the despair of being hanged in his eyes .
