Omnipotent Data

Chapter 340

Stayed in school until the twenty-fifth of the twelfth lunar month, bid farewell to Professor Fang, and Cheng Nuo boarded the plane home alone.

Empty your mind, forget about BSD conjectures, abacus and mental arithmetic competitions, and Meisai.

This is probably the only few days in the next year when he can relax physically and mentally, without any external disturbances, so Cheng Nuo cherishes it very much.

Eat, drink and play, enjoy his last happy time to the fullest.

On New Year's Eve, watching the completely out-of-the-box Spring Festival Gala, and then ushered in the New Year amidst a lot of New Year greetings from relatives and friends.

After that, there is a process of constantly visiting relatives and being deprived of relatives.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Cheng Nuo got on the plane back to Kyoto.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, after a day's rest, he and coach Hong Zhong and his other nine members of the national speed calculation team boarded a plane to Seattle, the United States, to compete in this year's World Abacus and Mental Arithmetic Competition.

The other nine team members were almost the same as Cheng Nuo imagined. Although there were men and women, but their ages... how should I put it!

When Hong Zhong introduced himself to the other team members, a little girl raised her head and greeted Cheng Nuo cordially, "Hello, Uncle Cheng!"

Cheng Nuo had a dark face at the time, but An Nuoyi, who had known Cheng Nuo for a long time, was giggling.

…………

It's February, and Seattle is worthy of being a famous tourist city. The climate is pleasant, which is naturally much warmer than that of Kyoto.

A group of eleven people got off the plane and checked into a hotel near the competition venue.

Of course, this hotel is the host, that is, the residence provided by the World Abacus and Mental Arithmetic Federation to all contestants.

Therefore, as soon as you enter the hotel lobby, you can see many foreigners in different clothes, speaking an unknown language, gathering together and chatting about something.

However, when Cheng Nuo and his party stepped into the hotel gate, they all stopped discussing.

Chinese team!

Whether it's appearance or clothing, they recognize it at a glance,

This is the Hua Guo team from that mysterious east!

Especially Hong Zhong, he has led the Hua Guo team to participate in this competition for five years, very few national team leaders say they don't know Hong Zhong.

After all, they have dominated this field for nine years!

It's like the dominance of Huaguo table tennis in the international table tennis world, even worse.

Most of the people gathered in the lobby at this time were the team leaders from various countries, and they looked at the team members behind Hong Zhong one by one with a fearful and cautious look.

Ok?

Many people tilted their heads in doubt.

Because they found out that none of the three little girls from Hua country who shined in the World Abacus and Mental Arithmetic Competition last year appeared in the Hua country team this year!

It shouldn't be!

Most of these team leaders present participated in the World Abacus and Mental Arithmetic Competition last year. Last year, the Huaguo team had three little girls who were only about ten years old, and they created crushing results in the competition stage!

Well, although they have always been crushed by Hua Guo in this project!

But their kind of crushing is different, it is a crushing that makes people feel desperate, a crush that can't afford any thoughts of resistance!

Logically speaking, those three players are all in the golden age of the competition, and they will definitely participate this year.

However, among the team members behind Hong Zhong, they didn't find the three figures that impressed them. Instead, they saw a strange figure!

Well, that's right, the alien they were talking about was Cheng Nuo!

This player who looks to be in his twenties is indeed...uncommon!

If it hadn't been stipulated that the number of participants from each country was ten, they would have doubted whether this "elderly player" was a young follower brought by Coach Hong!

But having said that, the Hua Guo team is such a strict team, how did this guy get in!

Could it be "relationships"? They have heard that in the mysterious country of Huaguo, "relationships" can handle everything.

However, I don't know how Coach Hong will feel!

While they were begging for coach Hong's psychological shadow area, they were also extremely excited.

With the absence of the three "big devil" level members of the Huaguo team and the burden caused by an "senior player", they may really be able to break Huaguo's monopoly on quick calculations this time.

On the other hand, Cheng Nuo naturally felt the gazes of many foreigners looking at him. Although he could not understand some of the language, he could tell their attitude towards him from their looks and expressions.

Age still hurts!

When doing academic research, others thought Cheng Nuo was too young.

But when it comes to the quick break contest, he becomes too old!

What can Cheng Nuo do? He is also very desperate, okay?

The only thing that can be done is to use the results to speak for themselves!

However, acting aggressive in front of a group of siblings, even nephews and nieces, is simply powerless, okay?

Even these children are recognized as "genius children"!

…………

On February 11, the 20th World Abacus and Mental Arithmetic Competition was held in a high school in Seattle, USA.

The duration of the competition is only two days.

One day is for contestants to compete, and the other day is for scoring and awarding.

Competitions are divided into team competitions and individual competitions.

The form of the competition is a written answer, which is no different from an exam, but the difference is that the questions are all types of calculation questions.

Individual competition rankings are determined by individual performance.

The ranking in the team competition is determined by the sum of the scores of ten players from each country.

The game time lasts for two hours.

Reminders include basic questions and additional questions. There are a total of 100 basic questions, including three types of mixed operations of addition and subtraction, multiplication of large digits, and division of large digits. Each question has a different score according to the difficulty, and the total score is 500 points.

The additional questions only include large-digit multiplication and large-digit division, and the difficulty of each question is higher than that of the basic questions.

For example, the multiplication of large digits in the basic questions can only multiply eight-digit numbers by eight-digit numbers at most, and the simplest multiplication of large-digit numbers in the additional questions will be eight-digit numbers multiplied by nine-digit numbers.

Moreover, each topic in the additional questions has a fixed score, only 1 point! Compared with the seven-point and eight-point questions in the basic questions, the price/performance ratio is very low.

But if you want to get as high a score as possible, additional questions must be done, and the more you do correctly, the better. Because in terms of basic questions, it is almost difficult for a group of contestants to widen the gap.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the game begins.

After the competition starts, the examiners will only distribute the test papers of the first part of the basic questions. After the basic questions are answered and the results are submitted, the test papers of the additional questions can be collected one by one.

There are fifty questions in each supplementary question paper. You can get the next one only after you finish writing and submitting, and so on.

Historically, the highest personal score in the quick calculation competition was created by players from Huaguo.

That was in 2010, Li He from Huaguo set a personal record of 1052 points, which has not been broken so far!
