Chapter 442 Breaking the record again (Thanks to the leader of the alliance)

As soon as the host said these words, the brothers in the competition became a little nervous.

Among them, the one with the most obvious nervousness was Xiao Sun.

In the first round, his performance was actually quite impressive, and he was ranked ninth among so many top high school students.

If there is no Chen Yuan in the eleven, then he is the strongest and the absolute card.

But the tricky thing is that there happens to be a monster on his side.

Moreover, he made a surprise in the first battle and won the first place with an exaggerated 100 points.

Looking at the small crown on Chen Yuan's head in the rankings on the screen, he felt a subtle sense of oppression.

Such an exaggerated person must be very strong in Eleven, right?

Yes, very strong, second only to me.

So you are?

All I can say is that I hope my performance in the next round can maintain its current level.

If you stay in the top ten, you can get some points for the eleventh.

In this way, among the ten heroes, there are himself and Chen Yuan, and they can be regarded as living up to the name of the twin stars in the eleven.

He was just a little nervous.

And when I hear my heart, it’s completely stressful.

She had absolute confidence in Shi Yi, after all, she was her childhood sweetheart who she had known since childhood.

But for herself, her confidence is very limited.

Although there are thousands of books in my home, Shi Yi has read all of them!

Besides, this round will be even harder!

It can only be said to be a pity.

If it weren't for the privacy screen, my squinting technique would have come in handy!

Everyone present felt a little suffocated.

Because the tone of the competition was too high, and there were still 30 scoreless games, everyone was naturally afraid of the second round.

Only Shi Yi is different.

He looked at Chen Yuan, full of fighting spirit at the moment.

I lost miserably to you in the first round, but I will not lose in the second round.

Just like that, under the spotlight, the second round began.

The question suddenly appeared on the screen - The King of Logic.

Everyone was surprised when they saw this topic.

If it is an intellectual contest, logic cannot be avoided.

The first round is the ultimate test of memory, purely memorizing.

Then in the second round, we will definitely have to be more flexible.

Otherwise, if it were all about memory, some contestants would be too popular.

But as a result, some liberal arts students on the field suffered a bit...

After all, when it comes to memory, arts and science are among the best. Some liberal arts students are even more outrageous.

"Then Yang Jialan feels like he's going to be ripped off..."

"Not necessarily. Although she studied liberal arts, she didn't study liberal arts because she was not good at science. Before the placement test, she seemed to have gotten top ten in science."

"Xie Niu? Why should you study liberal arts when you can get top ten in science?"

"Because I can get first place in liberal arts."

Regarding this link, many people began to worry about themselves as liberal arts majors.

But Yang Jialan didn't panic at all.

She chose liberal arts because her parents were both lawyers.

If she chooses to be a lawyer, with the support of her parents, her life will be smooth.

One day, I can become a great lawyer.

But this does not mean that logic is her shortcoming.

On the contrary, because she has dabbled in some lawyer-related knowledge in advance and often exercises her logical thinking ability, such as solving simple intelligence questions such as "turtle soup", her logical thinking ability is no weaker than those of top science contestants.

Therefore, this round, it is still within my shooting range.

He raised his head and looked at the golden crown on Chen Yuan's ranking list. And, with the bronze crown on her head and Shitou's head, she secretly vowed to regain her first place.

Although no one stipulates that the first place must be hers, she strives for the strongest personality and does not allow herself to lose!

"This round, there will be 10 logical thinking questions. Each question is worth 10 points, totaling 100 points."

While waiting, the host introduced the rules to everyone: "But unlike the first round, the initial points are not accumulated according to the time submitted. The total time is 30 minutes, with an average of three minutes for each question. When the time is over, the competition is over. However, if all the questions are written within the time and all are correct, the first place will get 5 extra points. The second place will get 4 points, and the points will decrease in sequence."

"This means that the highest score is 105."

"And there are extra points for all submissions, so there is no chance of stealing the chicken."

"So the difference between the top players is determined by the extra points based on the order of submission?"

While everyone was discussing this, the host once again showed that evil smile: "Everyone thinks well, but these extra points may not be something everyone needs to consider."

"Because the number of people who have received extra points since this session started..."

"It's zero."

The host's words made the students on stage and off the stage feel sarcastic.

But some people were ignited.

Yang Jialan, Chen Yuan, and Shi Yi all of a sudden set a new goal - I must be the one to break the record!

"Has no one ever gotten full marks before?" the principal of Hengzhong asked curiously.

This link should also be new, and it has been conducted for several sessions, and experiments have been conducted in other schools.

"Yes, the two strongest people only scored 90 points." The base leader said.

"Is that because it's difficult to set up?"

"The difficulty is actually good, but the time is too short. The average question only takes three minutes. If there is any delay, it will be difficult to achieve a perfect score." The base leader said confidently.

"Have you ever been to a school like ours before?"

Principal Chang Jun's words caused the base leaders to remain silent for a short time.

A school like ours...

I almost forgot, there are three of the strongest schools in the country here.

But this competition is not just a test!

Just wait and see.

Although I have never been to such top schools, many famous schools have failed at this stage...

After the rules were explained, the countdown began.

After counting down to tens, the game begins.

An electronic test paper popped up on everyone's screen.

On the right side of the screen is the draft page.

It turns out that this is what it means to have a stylus next to it.

But why not use the entire iPad? It feels so rough...

After briefly complaining in his mind, Chen Yuan began to read the questions.

The first course,

There are ten bottles of medicine, each with 10 pills, and one of them is spoiled. Normal medicine is 1g per pill, spoiled medicine is 1.1g per pill. How to use a scale to find the spoiled pill.

After reading the question, ten seconds have passed.

Moreover, this is not a choice or fill-in-the-blank question.

This is a short answer question that requires typing.

It takes more than half a minute to type.

Then, there is only two minutes left for your own thinking.

But after thinking about it for two minutes, it was definitely a bit slow.

Because this kind of question has to be done 10 times in a row.

At least four or five seconds of breathing time should be reserved for each step to ensure completion.

No wonder no one was able to get bonus points.

It's so urgent.

Biting his lips, Chen Yuan began to think.

Among the ten bottles of medicine, nine bottles were normal, and among the remaining one bottle of spoiled medicine, every medicine was overweight.

In Chen Yuan's mind, ten bottles of white medicine appeared, all with blue capsules inside, but there was only one bottle with a red capsule inside.

And the overall weight of that bottle is 1g more than the other medicine bottles.

OK Got it.

Use squinting.

But if you write it this way, you won’t get any points.

First, according to normal mathematical thinking, set that bottle of medicine as the Xth bottle.

Why are there ten pills in each bottle?

This number exactly corresponds to ten bottles...

Oh, that's how it is.

0.1g is key.

If you take one pill from each bottle of ten bottles and weigh them all together, then the gram weight should be 10.1g, because at least one pill is 1.1g.

But if there are 2 spoiled pills, it means it is more than 0.2g, if there are 3 pills, it is 0.3g more, and if there are 10 pills, it is 1g more.

In this case, it will suddenly become enlightened.

After spending about a minute and a half thinking, Chen Yuan finished writing the lengthy answer, and then suddenly realized that three minutes had passed.

The time used for one question just reached the set time, and there was no balance.

Those who ride horses are urging their lives!

"Ah, it's so difficult."

It took almost five minutes to do the first question, but Zhou Fu couldn't think of a solution: "If you ask me to find the medicine and there is no limit to the number of weighings, then I can do it."

"...Yes."

Tang Siwen on the side, after thinking for three minutes and making many formulas with pen and paper, finally figured it out.

It turns out that this is a logical examination.

If this is the case, then it is true that it can be done in both liberal arts and science.

But mathematical thinking is also very important here.

"How did you do it?" Zhou Fu asked curiously.

"Wait a minute, I'll write it down for you to read."

Tang Siwen just typed the answer on his mobile phone——

Write numbers from 1 to 10 on the ten bottles of medicine. Take 1 pill from the first bottle, 2 pills from the second bottle, and so on until you take 10 pills from the 10th bottle. Put them all together and weigh them. The original weight should be Yes (1+10)x5 is equal to 55g, and the extra gram is 0.Xg. The spoiled medicine is x bottle.

Even though he was typing very fast, it took six minutes after Tang Siwen finished thinking and writing.

In other words, based on her ability, this kind of question can only score 50 points at most.

And this is also based on the premise that the following questions can be completed at this speed.

It’s difficult.

"Baby, can you explain it to me..." Zhou Fu didn't understand.

Tang Siwen's cheeks turned slightly red after being called "Baby", but because he still wanted to compare himself with those top students, he apologized and whispered: "Baby, wait a moment, I will tell you later."

The sound of "baby" also made Zhou Fu feel a little comfortable...

Is this what it feels like to be in love?

I have never experienced the bitterness of love, but I have experienced the sweetness of Tang Siwen.

"Oh, I get it."

When spring was overflowing, Zhou Fu suddenly understood Tang Siwen's problem-solving ideas, and then immediately showed an expression of admiration: "Oh my god, are you not a genius?"

What a little fool!

"Doing a lot of competition questions is still very helpful." In this regard, Tang Siwen said modestly, "But my competition results are only third in provincial..."

After she said this, Zhou Fuzai realized that there were quite a few big guys sitting on the stage.

The most terrifying one among them must be Shi Yi, who was defeated by Chen Yuan by a narrow margin of two points in the previous round.

This time Bai Mingze doesn't come, it depends on whether Haidong Province's strongest combat force can win Jingnan and Jibei.

Shi Yi made a plan, which was to write simple questions, put them down first when encountering difficult ones, and then come back to them at the end.

But at the time of writing, he had not followed through on this plan.

Rather, it is solved in a smooth and downward manner.

That is to say, so far, there is no problem that can trap him.

But the remaining time for each question is not very much.

In this way, he also wrote question 7.

Question seven,

There are 8 balls, one of which is heavier than the others. There is a scale. How many times can you find the heavier ball by weighing it on a scale (the answer requires analysis).

After spending five seconds reading the questions, Shi Yi started writing the questions without thinking.

twice.

This is probably the easiest of all the questions, and can be solved in seconds.

Compared with the previous weighing question, this one is indeed super simple and can be done by everyone.

The thinking is also more concise.

3, 3, 2 will do.

Therefore, Shi Yi spent most of his time writing the answer to this question.

In fact, this kind of weighing questions are all tricky.

Normal people think about average scores.

Weighing four to four.

Weigh it two to two.

One on one at the end.

That is three times.

According to normal thinking, it is three times, so the answer to the question must deviate from the normal.

But it is impossible to weigh it out at once.

Therefore, the answer "two" can be written directly based on experience.

It's a pity that it's not fill-in-the-blank and selection, otherwise it would be faster.

However, it should be expected that many people will rely on experience to answer the questions, so they asked for the problem-solving ideas to be written in it.

In other words, the time fixed for thinking is actually very limited.

Even Shi Yi didn't think these thirty minutes were enough.

He believes that a large number of people here should not be troubled.

But it will definitely be lost to time.

When he reached the sixth question, Zhang Jianjun frowned.

His expression showed some pain.

So, he held his waist and straightened his body slowly, so that he felt a little more comfortable...

The lumbar disc herniation has become more serious.

If he was given a desk, it wouldn't be so painful.

I really tried my best to make my body so stiff just for this mere competition with students.

It has taken almost thirty minutes, and I have only written five questions.

In the last ten minutes, it seemed that there were only two questions at most.

It is even possible that you will not be able to finish both questions, because each question requires more than a hundred words to be typed.

My memory can still be used as an excuse for being old, but this time, I really can't seem to be able to take the lead and dare to be the first.

But he thought about it all the way without wasting any time.

Even if there are students in this group of students who are much faster than me, they can only be two questions ahead at most.

Well, 90 points is the top.

It is impossible to get 100 points for this kind of question.

Unless it's Superman.

Those who are riding horses are so irritable.

Can you write a solvable one directly? !

While he was immersed in writing the question, Chen Yuan already wanted to curse.

The time given is too little!

The person who asked the question, are you a mother?

Come over and try it yourself and see if you can finish these questions in thirty minutes.

If you can write it, I will eat this tablet!

but I,

It seems like I can write it out.

After writing the penultimate question non-stop, Chen Yuan realized that there were still two minutes left.

In other words, as long as the last question is very long and submitted before the time limit, you will not only be able to finish it, but you will even have a chance to get extra points.

In fact, a perfect score means extra points.

Because as long as you submit it before the end, you will be the first to complete it and get full marks.

But so far, there are no extra points, which means that no one has finished it so far!

In fact, according to the current progress, Chen Yuan can't finish it.

Two minutes is too short!

Reading and writing the questions will consume half of the time, and then you have to come up with the correct method within one minute.

Is there any process points for riding a horse?

No way, do it!

Even if I can't finish the last question, I can still tie the record.

But if you finish writing it, you will create history directly!

Just like that, before reading the question, Chen Yuan raised his head and prepared to take a final deep breath.

At this moment, he saw Shi Yi in front of him and stopped.

And, raised his head.

There are still two full minutes, he is...

Just as Chen Yuan was thinking this, the audience on the field burst into fierce cheers.

It's like cheering for yourself in the first round.

And the object is not yourself.

"Damn it! The question is due in two minutes?"

"I only wrote the fifth chapter when I was riding a horse!"

"In other words, has he completed ten questions?"

"Hey, this kind of person needs to write down the detailed process of solving the problem and take three minutes to answer the question. Are you human?"

"It's Shi Yi again, the second fastest Shi Yi!"

"But the questions seem to be still being revised. If they are all correct, the score will be 105."

"If you get one question wrong, you won't even get extra points, it will be 90."

"I think there's so much time left, it's okay to check a little bit..."

Check out the hammer.

Chen Yuan knew what the final result would be without even thinking about it.

Because he is Shi Yi.
