I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

"Student Shen Qi, please read the question." Sun Erxiong pointed to the big screen.

Switching to a new question on the screen, whether it is ordinary or excellent, students have to take a general knowledge test when they come to Yanda Math Camp.

The screen displays: "Which of the following four air routes passes through the Pope's Meridian: London-Mumbai, London-Hong Kong, London-New York, London-Rio de Janeiro?"

"Shen Qi, please give your answer." Sun Erxiong asked.

"Hmm..." Shen Qi stared at the screen and fell into deep thought. This general knowledge test question only has a simple sentence, but it contains a huge amount of information.

I have been to London. Its geographic location is 0 degrees east longitude, and the Greenwich Observatory is located in London.

Mumbai is a port in India, not to mention Hong Kong. Everyone knows where it is. The ship sails eastward from London to Mumbai and Hong Kong.

New York is in the United States, and Rio is in Brazil. From London, the ship sails across the Atlantic to New York and Rio, and the ship heads west.

So the most critical question is, where is the Pope's meridian?

The meridian is also the line of longitude. Today's prime meridian passes through Greenwich, London, England. Greenwich mean time is called standard time.

The Pope's Meridian should be a Prime Meridian that existed in history. Taking the Greenwich Meridian as a reference line, where is the longitude of the Pope's Meridian?

This general knowledge question is not only related to geographical knowledge, but also to historical knowledge.

"Shen Qi, have you considered it?" Sun Erxiong asked.

"I...have thought about it." Shen Qi quickly calculated in his mind, and used the method of elimination to draw a meridian that can move east and west on the world map. Let it be the Pope's meridian, and the starting point is London. It moves eastward, such as passing through Hong Kong Must go through Mumbai first. It moves westward, and if it passes through New York, it must first pass through Rio. Therefore, Mumbai and Rio can be ruled out, and Hong Kong and New York can be chosen.

"My answer is that the London-New York route passes through the Pope's meridian." Shen Qi gave the answer. When the Pope ruled Europe, it seemed that the Western colonists hadn't invaded the East yet, right?

Sun Erxiong nodded: "Historically, the meridian at 46 degrees west longitude is called the Pope's meridian, so only the London-New York route continues west after passing 46 degrees west longitude. Congratulations, Shen Qi, you answered correctly, please sit down. "

"The general knowledge of Yanda University is not simple." Zhou Yu'an said with emotion that generalists who know astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, knowledgeable about the past and the present, and cutting-edge academics may be able to make a fortune in Yanda.

"Student Zhou Yu'an." Sun Erxiong clicked on Zhou Yu'an this time, and asked a common-sense question about poetry.

Who is the author of the poem "The spring tide brings rain and comes late, and the wild crossing is unmanned"?

Li Bai, Du Fu, Luo Binwang, Li Shangyin, Wei Yingwu choose one of five.

Zhou Yu'an was blinded by Wei Yingwu. He had heard of all the previous four poets, but he didn't know who Wei Yingwu was, so he chose Wei Yingwu.

"Yes, Zhou Yu'an, please sit down. Next, please introduce yourself to Ouye."

The only girl in the math camp stood up. She had black straight long hair and her skin was extremely fair, even pale. Her facial features are exquisite, her eye sockets are slightly sunken, her lips are thin, and her lips are bright red, which is a little purple.

"Look carefully, the only girl in our camp looks a bit like...a zombie?" Zhou Yu'an shuddered inexplicably.

"It's kind of like it." Shen Qi admitted, it can't be said that this girl is not good-looking, she probably belongs to the dark fairy tale department.

The girl's voice was a little hoarse: "My name is Ouye. Ou is Euler's Ou, and Ye is Fourier's Ye. Thank you." A very brief self-introduction, where you come from, what awards you have won, and any interests and specialties. carry.

"Ouye, what a name!" Sun Erxiong was full of praise.

Zhou Yu'an: "Oh-yeah?"

Shen Qi couldn't help but glanced at the girl again: "Ouler's Ou, Fourier's Ye, Ouye, this name is too good, maybe she is destined to learn mathematics."

Zhou Yu'an: "Tch, if you say that, am I destined to be a landlord?"

Shen Qi smiled and said: "Yes, Zhou Papi, you are the most stingy boy I have ever met."

After introducing herself, Ouye took a common sense test, a common sense question about biology, and she quickly gave the correct answer.

Not long after, all the 26 students in the camp were introduced, and everyone had a preliminary understanding of each other.

"Okay, we've gotten to know each other. As expected, all of you here will be fellow students majoring in Mathematics at Yanda University in September next year. We have carried guns together and been in the same window together. This is the strongest friendship. Fate, students." Sun Erxiong said enthusiastically.

"According to the practice of Yanda University, the general knowledge test of our mathematics camp has ended, and the professional test will be carried out next. Yes, test your best subject-mathematics. I believe everyone can't wait." Sun Erxiong said lightly I realized, "There will be a score statistics for the mathematics major test, which is also a routine. Don't be nervous if you are fine. Please watch the big screen."

"Sure enough..." Zhou Yu'an became nervous.

"The statistics of the grades are for the purpose of classifying when you are officially in college?" Shen Qi had seen through everything long ago and remained calm.

A new question was projected on the big screen:

"In a game of Fighting the Landlords, the cards in the hands of the landlord, farmer A, and farmer B are as follows."

"Landlord: 2, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 8, 6, 6, 5, 5, 3, 3, 3, 3, 7, 7, 7, 7."

"Farmer A: King, King, 2, A, K, Q, J, 10, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 5, 5, 4, 4."

"Farmer B: 2, 2, A, A, A, K, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 9, 8, 6, 6, 4, 4."

The topic is gone here.

All 26 students, including Shen Qi, stared at the projection screen with incomparable concentration.

Although I don't know what specific questions the instructor Sun Erxiong wants to ask, but the students who can sit here are all smart people, at least smart in the field of mathematics.

The students analyzed the conditions given in the question in various mathematical ways in their hearts, and the classroom was silent, and they could listen to the needle quietly.

Sun Erxiong gave the students 5 seconds to analyze the question, and then broke the silence: "Please listen to the question, pay attention, I will only ask the question once. What this question is about is, if the three players are all up cards, and in the On the premise that no one plays the wrong cards, it is the landlord's turn to play, who will be the first to finish all the cards in his hand?"

"This is a quick answer setting. Students who have calculated the results, please raise your hands. I will give you another 5 seconds to calculate the results. If no one raises their hands after 5 seconds, all will be awarded 0 points!" Sun Erxiong suddenly became serious.

All the students were shocked. Anyone can fight the Landlord, but to calculate the result in such a short period of time, it requires extremely powerful memory, calculation and deduction ability.

5 seconds passed quickly.

brush!

brush!

Two people raised their hands almost simultaneously.

Shen Qi and Ouye.

Sun Erxiong hesitated for a second and then made a choice: "Ouye raise your hand a little faster, Ouye, you answer first."

Ouye said three words lightly: "The landlord wins."

Shen Qi was a little annoyed, the result of his mental calculation was that the landlord was the first to finish playing the cards, so he raised his hand a little too late. In fact, no one can tell whether it is fast or slow, and whoever raises his hand first, Shen Qi or Ouye, is hard to tell with the naked eye.

Sun Erxiong nodded: "Ouye gets 10 points for a correct answer, and everyone else gets 0 points. Next question!"
