Arcane Age

"Congratulations on starting the 'Twelve Signs of the Zodiac' challenge. The question bank will be randomly challenged for you. Didi, Didi, select the math question bank. As long as you answer the twelve math questions correctly, you can leave the maze!"

"Question 1: The lengths of the two right-angled sides of a right triangle are 3 and 4 respectively. What is the length of the scalene side?"

The green dragon girl Illya fell into deep thought.

The lengths of the sides of a right angle are 3 and 4 respectively, so what is the length of the hypotenuse?

After a moment, Illya clenched her right hand, I know how to forget it!

The index finger of her right hand transformed into a sharp blade and drew a straight line with three marks on the solid stone floor of the maze.

Measure a right angle with your eyes, draw a straight line segment with four marks, and then connect the other ends of the two line segments.

The truth has no hiding place in front of the great sixth-level transformation mage Ilia. She easily judged the length of this hypotenuse, and the answer is 5!

Illya stood up straight, folded her arms on her flat chest, snorted coldly, tilted her head slightly to the left, then stretched out five stretched slender fingers and shook it gently, saying arrogantly: "No Sorry to disappoint you! The answer is 5!"

At this moment, Xi Wei and Natalia were taking a bath in the steaming luxurious bathroom of the Violet Castle, and in front of them was a scene in the maze of an alien plane.

Seeing this scene, Xi Wei burst out laughing.

"Congratulations on the correct answer! The second question, 1+2+3+...+99+100, what is the total?"

Illya was excited in her heart. Don't underestimate my IQ. I am also a high-level magician. My soul has jumped several times. I am a talented girl with super high intelligence!

1+2=3, 3+3=6, 6+4=10..., 4950+100=5050, the answer is 5050!

It took a minute to calculate the answer mentally. Illya smiled slightly: "Sorry, I have already calculated it. The answer is 5050!"

Xi Wei grinned again.

"Huh? Isn't that how you calculate?" Natalia obviously noticed Xi Wei's expression and asked curiously: "I think she calculates pretty fast?"

Xi Wei touched Natalia's head comfortingly: "If you are interested, you can study the Violet Academy's textbook - "Basic Mathematics"."

Natalia's eyes widened: "What do you mean? I feel as if I have been insulted! No, "Basic Mathematics", right? I will study it carefully from today on!"

The challenge in the maze has reached the third question: "A businessman had a 40-pound weight that fell to the ground and broke into 4 pieces. Later, the weight of each piece was weighed as a whole pound, and You can use these 4 pieces to weigh any whole number of pounds from 1 to 40 pounds. How much do each of the 4 weight fragments weigh?"

Illya was confused. What kind of nonsense is this?

Didn't it just break the weight? Can the weights be used again after they have been repaired using the "repair technique"? Even if you, a businessman, don't know magic, you can just throw it away. Do you still have to recycle the waste?

But it was obvious that Illya's voice was not responded to. She could only use her fingers as pens and the floor as paper, and began to calculate.

After using a whole magic to calculate this time, Illya finally got the answer: "The weights of the four fragments are 1, 3, 9, and 27 respectively!"

This time, Ilia was finally not so arrogant. She found that these math problems seemed to be more difficult than the last.

Soon, Illya's premonition became a reality, and the fourth question appeared: "In a city called Königsberg, there are seven bridges connecting two islands in the river and the island and the river bank. Ask if Possibly starting from any one of these four pieces of land, crossing each bridge exactly once, and then returning to the starting point?”

A map of the seven bridges is also attached below.

Illya tried to draw on it, but she tried all her methods and could not do it.

Two more magic hours have passed.

Illya finally couldn't bear it anymore, and she shouted loudly: "No!"

This time, it took a moment for the mechanical voice to reply: "Congratulations on your correct answer, but you must attach the proof process!"

Illya is completely crazy, she will not prove it at all!

Illya finally tried helplessly, wanting to see what other questions were below.

Illya could barely understand many of the questions, and she couldn't even begin to answer the questions that she could understand.

For example: "Prove that when the integer n is greater than 2, the equation x^n+y^n=z^n about x, y, z has no positive integer solution."

For example: "Can you use mathematics to prove that each map only needs four colors to ensure that each neighbor has a different color?"

In the end, Illya let out the wail of a negative dog. She had completely lost the idea of ​​solving the puzzle to get out of the maze, and sat quietly on the ground, waiting for the end of the maze's duration.

What happened to Illya is not known to outsiders, but Natalia was very happy to see this scene and also had some chills down her spine: "You magicians have to study these things every day?"

"Most magicians don't need it!" Xi Wei pondered for a moment: "But if you want to become a great arcanist who reaches the top, these are just the basics!"

"Fortunately, I didn't choose to become a magician, otherwise I would have had no hope in this life!" Natalia was obviously in awe of the profession of magician.

In fact, the magician's intelligence has been greatly improved through level promotions and soul level leaps.

For example, computing ability, memory ability and thinking ability are all very important abilities for researchers.

Therefore, a magician naturally has the foundation to become a researcher, and the arcanist is a profession developed on this basis.

Gradually parse all the ineffable and unspeakable manifestations belonging to the idealistic field into knowable theories and knowledge, which can be improved through learning, rather than simply relying on innate mental power, magic affinity and other conditions to determine the upper limit of future achievements.

Arcanist is a profession that creates infinite possibilities.

The apprentice spell competition on the first day was undoubtedly a wonderful show for the freshmen. They discovered that even though they were still in the magic apprentice stage, they were already able to cast so many powerful and practical spells, and all kinds of powerful spells. Zero-ring spells are constantly being developed by instructors and students. Although most of them are not very practical, these powerful zero-ring spells embody the light of wisdom of the teachers and students of Violet Academy!

And there are many excellent spells such as "Gravity Wind" that show a unique style in Esmeralda's hands!

All the apprentices were very interested in the Apprentice Spell Competition on the second day. This was a competition for the top 32 to advance to the top 16, and all the seeded players who had a bye in the first round were entering!

However, the call for the talented beauty Esmeralda to win the championship is still very high. She won a large number of die-hard supporters with her outstanding performance in the opening game!
