American TV Series: Starting with Sheldon’s Wool Collection

After a brief rest, the time came to two o'clock in the afternoon, and the semi-finals of the Mathematical Olympiad competition started again.

Compared with the preliminary competition in the morning, there were more spectators in the mathematics hall in the afternoon to watch the competition. These people are true math enthusiasts.

And the three games in the afternoon will determine this year's Mathematical Olympiad champion. Relatively speaking, the gold content of the game will also increase a lot.

As the No. 1 seed, Marymount College was still the first to appear in the afternoon semifinals.

After the semi-finals began, it can be seen that without considering personal factors, Marymount College's overall Mathematical Olympiad level is indeed higher than other colleges.

Even the eleventh-grade girl, Caroline, has very solid and comprehensive knowledge of the Mathematical Olympiad.

As the difficulty of the turn-taking question bank increased, even when the opponent made repeated mistakes, Marymount College relied on its solid knowledge to easily defeat its opponent in the first round of turn-taking.

"Congratulations to Marymount College for taking the lead in the finals~"

The old professor who was in charge of presiding over the game announced the result with a slightly raised voice after the two teams decided the winner.

Accompanied by sparse applause from the audience, Carter, who won the first place in the finals, also smiled and led his team members to wave to the audience.

After a morning of observation and analysis, Carter also determined that other schools could not threaten his college to win the championship.

So he, who is confident, can't hide the happy expression on his face now.

"Damn Curly..." Captain Kevin, who had already been prejudiced in his heart, looked at Carter's bright smile on the stage and felt very disgusted.

"Okay, Kevin, it's your turn next." Teacher Sharon encouraged the team members who were about to take the stage: "Perform well, don't be nervous, you are no worse than anyone else."

"Understood, Teacher Sharon." Captain Kevin promised with full fighting spirit: "We will defeat that hateful Curly Hair in the finals."

At the same time, the old professor in charge of hosting continued to promote the competition process: "Now let us invite the players from Melford High School and Shengyu High School to appear~"

As the third place last year, Shengyu High School should have a good level in the Mathematical Olympiad. In the preliminary round in the morning before, they also defeated their opponents by virtue of their advantage in taking turns to answer questions correctly.

After the Melford Mathematical Olympiad players and Shengyu Mathematical Olympiad players went to the answering area, the second semi-final in the afternoon officially began.

As the game progressed, Mike still maintained his "ordinary" high school student persona.

When they saw his performance again and knew the reason, the Melford team members were no longer nervous, but all of them had sullen faces.

There was no way they could do it. After knowing the riddle, they just felt like laughing when they watched Mike's "performance". If they didn't keep a straight face, they would probably laugh out loud.

In this atmosphere, Mike also answered correctly many times with "near misses", taking turns to answer all the questions in the first round.

The team members from Shengyu High School were also in good condition. At the end of the question-answering session, they also answered all the questions correctly.

Therefore, the two teams also entered the second round of Q\u0026A with all correct results.

There are ten questions in total, and the school that answers six questions first will be considered the winner.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

During the Q\u0026A session, there is a Q\u0026A button in front of each team.

Mike, who has an excellent physique, no longer pretends. In this session, every time the host finishes reading a question, he will press the button at super fast speed.

Not giving the other team any chance at all.

Of course, he won the right to answer questions. In order to maintain his personality, he would not answer the questions, but left the opportunity to his teammates.

Captain Kevin, who is full of fighting spirit, and Mike, who is super powerful but pretends to be cute. With two people guaranteed, the members of the Melford Mathematical Olympiad team are very relaxed and are naturally in very good shape.

In this way, in the second round of answering sessions, Mike used his absolute hand speed to win the right to answer the first six questions for his team.

With captain Kevin as a guarantee, Melford High School defeated its opponents and advanced to the finals with a strong attitude.

Looking at the team members from Shengyu High School opposite, they all had helpless expressions on their faces.

It can be said that the second round of question answering almost turned into a one-man show for Melford High School. As the opponent, Shengyu High School had no sense of participation at all.

Losing in this kind of mental game will naturally make people very depressed if they lose on hand speed.

"Congratulations to Melford High School for entering the finals." The old professor who presided over the competition announced: "Let us take a short break and then enter the final championship battle~"

There is only enough time for three games in the afternoon, so between the semi-finals and the final, there will be a ten-minute break to adjust the state of the second team that enters the final.

…

Before the break time was about to end, in the Melford question answering area on the stage, Teacher Sharon patted the shoulders of the team members one by one, with a slightly excited tone: "Don't feel any burden, you have done a good job. I feel for you guys. pride……"

It can be seen that this situation of being only one step away from the championship made Sharon, the Mathematical Olympiad instructor, feel a little nervous.

"Don't worry, teacher, we have won." Kevin said firmly.

After seeing everyone's confused expressions, he smiled and gestured: "Look at those crooked melons and jujubes on the other side. In terms of appearance, we are at least eight steps ahead of them~"

People who can join the Mathematical Olympiad team are somewhat nerdy.

Naturally, the five players from Marymount College on the opposite side could not avoid it.

Especially the eleventh-grade female member of the team, Caroline, is not pretty to begin with, and she also doesn’t know how to put on makeup.

There are many freckles and pimples on the shiny face. Coupled with the steel braces to correct her teeth and her messy long hair, she looked imageless.

Relatively speaking, Melford has Kevin with a hip-hop style, and Mike and Katie with great looks.

Compared with fashion and appearance, the Melford Mathematical Olympiad team is indeed the undisputed winner.

"Don't judge other people's appearance, it's rude..."

After hearing Kevin's words, Teacher Sharon shook her head with a smile and said: "Pay more attention to the next game and don't be careless~"

Then, seeing the old professor presiding over the competition come on stage, Teacher Sharon also went to the audience seat below.

As for the Melford question answering area, the team members who were a little nervous before were relaxed because of Kevin's jokes.

I have to say that although Kevin's words were very rude, they made sense.

After the host and the two competition teams were ready, the final championship battle also kicked off.

As the first and second schools in last year's Mathematical Olympiad, they naturally have some abilities.

In the alternate question-answering session of the first round of the championship, both teams answered all the questions correctly without any surprise.

Among them, Mike once again maintained his "ordinary" high school personality while answering the questions correctly.

"A very wonderful performance~" the old professor who hosted the competition smiled and praised.

The turn-taking question bank used in the finals has naturally been raised to another level in difficulty.

Under such circumstances, the two teams were able to answer all the questions correctly. It can be imagined that the members of both teams must have worked hard on the Mathematical Olympiad.

"So next, does anyone want to challenge the 'Sudden Death Match'?" the old professor asked before the second round of Q\u0026A began.

"Sudden Death Match" is the latest one-on-one single-player challenge mode introduced in this year's Mathematical Olympiad competition.

That is, one person answers questions on behalf of an entire team, and only one question is used to determine the winner.

Using this model to replace the Q\u0026A session involves some gambling.

Of course, if neither team makes a proposal, the game will still continue according to the answering process.

It's just that with this novel competition system, Captain Kevin and Captain Carter from the Mariemont Olympus Team will naturally not let it go.

What's more, Carter has been observing the Melford Mathematical Olympiad team for so long before.

So as soon as the old professor finished questioning, Carter and Kevin raised their hands one after another.

"We choose to use the 'sudden death match' right~" After receiving the old professor's signal, Captain Carter from Marymount College spoke confidently.

While speaking, his eyes subconsciously glanced towards Mike.

"Very good, then Melford, do you have any comments?" The old professor turned around and asked.

In fact, in the championship game, as long as one team chooses, the conditions for the "sudden death game" have been met.

The old professor's question was more about confirming Kevin's motivation for raising his hand.

"The other party's proposal is exactly what I want. We also want to challenge the 'sudden death match'~" Kevin put down his arms and said loudly tit for tat.

Seeing that both sides chose to challenge the "Sudden Death Match", the old professor smiled again and said: "Then please ask the captains of both sides to choose the opponent's player you will challenge."

The rule of the "Sudden Death Match" challenge is that the opponent's players help select their own team members to compete.

To a certain extent, this mode tests the vision of the captains of both sides, as well as luck.
