I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

The intern Xiaowen hurriedly took out the quick-acting heart-relief pills, and poured a few into the mouth of the officer Liu.

Clerk Liu clutched his heart, crushed the Jiuxin Pill, and pressed it under his tongue.

There were more than a dozen judges and staff members in the marking room. Officer Liu's sudden heart attack was so loud that it attracted everyone's attention.

"Old Liu, what's the situation? How did you get sick?"

"I told you a long time ago, old Liu, I asked you to do a heart bypass. Taking medicine can't cure the root cause, so you shouldn't give up the treatment." All colleagues gathered around Director Liu, asking with great concern.

"Gulu... Mushroom..." Director Liu's tongue seemed to be knotted suddenly, and he couldn't speak smoothly. It was like this just after he got sick, and he needed to recover slowly.

"Come on, old Liu, don't talk, Xiaowen, help Director Liu to the lounge to lie down for a while." Another director of the Chinese Mathematical Society surnamed Yuan said.

"Okay." Xiaowen supported Officer Liu and was about to leave the marking room.

"Devil...mushroom..." Before leaving, Director Liu pointed to Shen Qi's national final exam paper, not knowing what he was talking about.

The marking room was taken over by Officer Yuan. He sat down at the original position of Officer Liu, and saw an examination paper spread out on the table, which had not yet been graded.

Just glanced at the examination paper, Yuan Yuan was shocked: "Xiao Xu, hurry up... hurry up..."

Everyone in the marking room was extremely nervous: "It's his uncle, is he bewitched, another expert to be demolished?"

Xiao Xu, an intern, hurriedly brought quick-acting heart-rescuing pills, and poured out a handful of pills in the palm of his hand: "Officer Yuan, take the medicine quickly!"

"No, I'm not sick." Officer Yuan's expression was not bad, "I just want to say, take my reading glasses and put them on my desk. This test paper is really interesting. I have done it for more than 20 years. It was the first time I saw a student answering a question in this way."

"Old Yuan, can you finish your sentence in one go? It scares me to death!" Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time they were very curious.

All the judges gathered around Officer Yuan in a fan shape. They wanted to see what kind of test paper was so magical that it gave Officer Liu a heart attack.

"This... this is..."

"What the hell is this?"

"The devil! The symbol of the devil!"

Xiao Xu and the other interns were stunned when they saw Shen Qi's exam paper.

"Xiao Xu, although you are from the Department of Mathematics, after all, you haven't finished your undergraduate studies, so your knowledge is limited." Officer Yuan put on reading glasses and carefully reviewed Shen Qi's examination paper: "This student Shen Qi did not use the devil symbols, but the wedge-shaped mathematical symbols of the ancient Babylonian number system, he used the sexagesimal wedge-shaped mathematical symbols for the whole question to prove that the root of 2 in the last question is an irrational number.”

"Here, a high school student who understands the sexagesimal system of the ancient Babylonian number system, and can skillfully use cuneiform symbols to explain the proof process, Shen Qi, I am afraid he is a fake high school student?" Xiao Xu covered his face, very sad, he felt I suffered a 10,000-volt crit.

Another intern, Xiao Ou, brought up Shen Qi's competition registration information: "Shen Qi, 17 years old, is a sophomore in Nangang No. 2 Middle School in southern Guangdong Province. After this summer vacation, he will be in his third year of high school. He is a proper high school student. This kid is a bit magical. It scares a contestant out and scares a judge."

Xiao Xu's heart was broken: "I may have gone to a fake university, but I'm no better than a sophomore in high school..."

Director Yuan said: "Don't look down on high school students. There is no shortage of young geniuses in the mathematics world, and they rely on geniuses to drive forward. I wrote the final question of the National Finals. This question is indeed a bit tricky. I added a lot of harsh restrictions. Conditions, the finale of the national final must have its style, otherwise how can we talk about the finale?"

"Mr. Yuan, just tell me, did you answer Shen Qi's last question correctly?" Xiao Xu asked.

"The overall grading progress of the National Judgment is close to 95%, and there are still a few exam papers that have not been finished. I looked at it and found that Shen Qi got all the first five questions correct, five to seven thirty-five, and with the thirty-five points of the first five questions, he It is enough to get a gold medal." Officer Yuan admired Shen Qi's examination paper, as if admiring a work of art.

"So Shen Qi was wrong on the last question." Xiao Xu regained a bit of the dignity of a college student. He knew the standard answer to the last question. , I cannot prove it to be true, but I can prove it to be false.

"No, it is still impossible to judge whether Shen Qi's sexagesimal direct proof method is right or wrong, but I want to praise his bold innovation and brave attempt. This is the finale of the national final. Who would dare to play like this? And Shen Qi did Now, at least he is very courageous, and I have never even thought of his whimsical attempt." Director Yuan has never met Shen Qi himself, but he has glimpsed some of Shen Qi's personality through mathematical language, and Director Yuan said: "Xiao Xu, go to the reference room and get the reciprocal table of the ancient Babylonian number system. I can't remember it all, after all, I am old. I have to check the table to know whether Shen Qi's proof is correct."

ha?

Xiao Xu almost fell, Mr. Yuan, you have been talking about the truth for a long time, so you can't understand all these ghost symbols?

...

Early the next morning, Shen Qi, all his teammates and team leader gathered in the dormitory, swiping their phones.

At 9 o'clock this morning, the Chinese Mathematical Society will announce the final ranking and awards of the national finals on its official website.

Shen Qi was very grateful and said to Teacher Tian: "Mr. Tian, ​​the Pythagorean reductio ad absurd method is really too unpopular. I have never seen such a weird proof method before. I just got the standard answer yesterday." You know, there is such a showy operation? Fortunately, you taught me the sexagesimal restriction of the Babylonian number system, and I made a little modification and directly completed the proof."

Teacher Tian was gratified and embarrassed: "The sexagesimal proof method you innovatively used is more flamboyant than the Pythagorean reductio absurdum. Shen Qi, only you have the patience to listen to my lecture on the history of ancient mathematics, not me bragging Forced, there are not many people in the capital of the Mathematics Association who have a deeper understanding of ancient mathematics than me."

"Mr. Tian, ​​you are at the level of the president at any rate, and the president of the branch is also the president. Can those officers compare with you?"

"No, I'm the vice president. The president of our Nanyue Province Mathematics Branch is a real mathematician master, but he is so focused on academics that he doesn't know how to develop interpersonal relationships. Otherwise, he should have been the chief president long ago."

The teacher and the student were bragging, and before they knew it, it was 9 o'clock.

The official website of the Chinese Mathematical Society refreshes the national final information on time.

Shen Qi's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, he was actually a little nervous.

No matter how confident you were before, everyone will be nervous at the moment of being named on the gold list.

"All according to fate, open!" Shen Qi clicked on the phone screen to reveal the electronic version of the gold list.

The official website of the Chinese Mathematical Society shows:

The champion of the national final team, the Hubei Provincial Mathematical Team, 185 points

The runner-up of the national final team, Liaodong Provincial Mathematical Team, 166 points

The third place of the national final team, the capital data competition team, 165 points

...

The sixth place in the national final team, the Nanyue Provincial Mathematical Team, 157 points

...

The overall strength of the Hubei provincial data competition team is strong. They lead the runner-up by nearly 20 points and win the team championship with a relatively large advantage. The full score of the six questions in the national final is 42 points. For such a difficult national final test paper, the average individual score of the North Hubei provincial data competition team is above 30 points, and the overall strength is unrivaled.

Surprisingly, Shonan Province and East Zhejiang Province, two of the traditional top three, did not enter the top three teams this time. The darkest dark horse is the Liaodong provincial data competition team. They jumped from the second group to the first group and won the team runner-up.

The Little Dark Horse is the Nanyue Provincial Mathematics Team. They advanced to the national finals as the tenth in the national preliminaries. In the national finals, there was no team at the bottom, and they beat four teams to rank sixth.

"The team is sixth, a little surprise." Shen Qi first looked at the team rankings, as long as they are not at the bottom, other results are acceptable.

Exciting moments are approaching. Shen Qi clicks to enter the ranking list of personal results in the national finals. The official website shows:

Six national final gold medals:

Shen Qi 42 points, Song Yang 35 points, Yu Zhengtian 35 points, Zhou Xiaoyue 34 points, He Yan 33 points, Wei Xu 32 points;

"YEAH!" Shen Qi, who had been suppressed for a long time, suddenly broke out, and he roared, Shu Tan!

True - the chapter says:

Hurry... Hurry up and throw my recommendation ticket here...
