This star just wants to learn

Pu Tong thought that the questions in the re-examination would be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult...

An exam paper consists of four pieces of white paper. Only the upper left corner of each piece of white paper has the question written on it, and the rest is a blank area for them to answer questions.

How much content do you need to write?

The higher the score, the more difficult the question. Pu Tong did not dare to read the content behind it, and immediately turned his attention to the first question.

You can tell that this plane geometry question is not easy at first glance. Even though the question is not long, it will definitely not be a problem for 99% of high school students across the country.

After all, it’s a provincial mathematics competition, so what’s going on?

Before Pu Tong could start writing, his thoughts were interrupted by the movement in the examination room. It was Zheng Ke who had chatted with him who raised his hand, as if he wanted to communicate with the invigilator about something.

This isn't the beginning of the exam. What's going on with him?

Zheng Ke pointed to the ballpoint pen in his hand with an embarrassed look, as if there was something wrong with the stationery he prepared.

Um?

Pu Tong suddenly remembered that he had used his ballpoint pen to sign his clothes. Could it be that the ballpoint was broken while writing on his clothes?

The number competition mainly selects top talents, so naturally it will not make things difficult for people on such details. The invigilator immediately found a spare pen for him.

Accidents are very likely to occur in exams. It would be a bit unreasonable to deny candidates' hard work just because of such incidents.

Seeing that Zheng Ke had a "weapon at hand", Pu Tong was relieved. Although the signing was not his original intention, he would inevitably blame himself if he failed to show his strength due to such things.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Pu Tong also turned his attention to the test paper again. His challenge had just begun.

The first section on geometry is very abstract. It involves finding the sine value of a triangle angle in a bunch of pictures, which is a bit confusing for those who look at it.

Pu Tong scratched his head and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't find an entry point. It was a bit too difficult to solve this problem using the knowledge in high school textbooks...

But if he wanted to use university knowledge, he didn't know where to start. There were too many theories about triangles, and he knew many of them.

The person who asked this question was definitely a weirdo. He seemed to have directly calculated that many people participating in the semi-finals had studied college knowledge, and using those things would make the question more difficult.

Pu Tong rubbed his eyebrows. Could it be that he thought the question was too difficult? The more you try to use in-depth knowledge to solve the problem, the more you will reach a deadlock...

The high school math competition definitely tests their high school knowledge. He must have overlooked something.

The candidates around him were already moving their hands, but he was the only one sitting there motionless, listening to the rustle of people writing furiously, Pu Tong remained as steady as an old dog.

Even the invigilator was a little confused. Pu Tong was so eye-catching. He kept paying close attention to her secretly. Why didn't he move even after several minutes of the exam?

Could it be that the first question stumped him?

Wait, Pu Tong, who was half-squinting his eyes, was stunned. He seemed to be somewhat impressed by this knowledge point.

At that time, when the program team of "When You Were Young" was recording the ninth episode of the program in their class, they filmed a class from the perspective of each star student...

In math class, Iori Yukino exchanged textbooks with him. He remembered that Sakura-mei, an ignorant student, had graffiti all over the textbook, and even drew the circle in the corner to look like Doraemon's head.

Isn't that graffiti location the expanded knowledge in the textbook? It's up to you. Four points make a circle!

Pu Tong smiled knowingly and immediately started writing to use this expanded knowledge to solve the problem.

The old person who asked the question is really bad. Who would be a serious person and would notice this kind of expanded knowledge mentioned in the textbook...

Fortunately, Iori Yukino gave him a helping hand, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to remember this.

Seeing that Pu Tong finally took action, the invigilator breathed a sigh of relief. It was so dangerous. Pu Tong was the light of their Huailin. If their scores were not high, they would not be able to bear it.

This guy is so famous that he even has a certain relationship with this mathematics competition. The organizers naturally hope that Pu Tong can go all the way.

The longer this kid persists, the more attention the outside world will pay to this competition.

finally! With a wave of his hand, Pu Tong immediately successfully solved the first geometrical object, the root of sine value of two.

Wait, isn’t this the sine of an angle of 45°?

He paused, then subconsciously took out the protractor from his stationery bag and measured...

"Fuck!"

Pu Tong suddenly felt a little off guard. He was at 45°. If he had known, wouldn't he have just measured it from the beginning?

This is the simplest and stupidest way! If Iori Yukino comes and this guy measures it directly, maybe he can actually make it...

However, he was just joking that answering this kind of question still requires a specific process. It would be a bit outrageous to open his mouth and directly say, "According to the measured angle, it is 45°, so the sine value is the root of two."

Since the measurement was appropriate, he must have gotten this question right. Pu Tong adjusted his mentality and started to look at the second question.

The second algebra question is more conventional. It involves looking for regular calculations. Pu Tong has studied this in depth and solved the first question in just a few clicks.

The second question is to prove that with the rules summarized in the first question, it is not too troublesome.

Compared with the simple half-page of the first question, this second question almost fills up a page. In terms of complexity, the second question is definitely better.

The difficulty of the first question lies in the entry point that most people would not think of. The second question is simply a test of calculation ability and induction ability. The emphasis is different, and it is difficult to measure which is more difficult.

However, starting from the third question, the difficulty of the questions instantly increased to a higher level.

This can be seen from the score. The next two questions are obviously more difficult than the previous questions.

No matter how well prepared Pu Tong was, he still felt a little numb when facing these two questions and was abused again...

Fortunately, he is used to being abused, and now he has developed a habit of not only not panicking but even getting more excited when seeing difficult problems.

Did he actually become a "shame" under the torture of Ding Lingling's problems? It's really scary.

The exam was still long, so Pu Tong didn't panic and started thinking slowly at his own pace.

…

The bell of the Mathematics Association rang to announce the end of the Mathematics League semi-finals. The TV station staff outside the examination point immediately started debugging the equipment so that they could interview Putong as soon as possible.

The last interview video successfully made the TV station a lot of money. Even if Pu Tong doesn't cooperate very much, as long as he is in the frame, the popularity will still come!

Not to mention Pu Tong pretending to fail in the exam today, even if Pu Tong just hugged the camera and cried today, they still had to edit it in accurately.

They had a clear goal. Among the large group of candidates who came out, they picked the most handsome guy in the crowd at a glance!

"Meet Pu Tong again!"

The female reporter walked up with enthusiasm, fearing that Pu Tong would run away like last time, she subconsciously grabbed his sleeve.

But there seemed to be something wrong with Pu Tong today. His eyes were dull, and he just nodded dully as he looked at them.

"Student Pu Tong, can you share with us the status of the exam this time..." the female reporter smiled, "How do you think the difficulty of the questions is?"

Degree of difficulty?

Pu Tong forced a smile, and a few tears even appeared in the corners of his dry eyes after staring at the test paper for three hours.

"It's really difficult. I've never encountered such a difficult test paper. The teacher who set the questions is simply crazy..."

Isn’t this the same answer as the last interview? The rhetoric is exactly the same!

This guy just said that last time, and then he got perfect scores in the exam in a blink of an eye. What's going on this time?

I can't believe what he said.
