Chapter 43 Ranking Day, 151 points
A test paper is marked 4 times in total to ensure absolute fairness.
"Bang!" A thick stack of test papers was thrown heavily on the table, and Li Xueming, the leader of the Beishan City Mathematics Research Group, looked a little ugly.
"I know the exam questions are more difficult this time, but it won't be so difficult, right? There are only 3 full-score answer sheets in Beishan City! Compared with last year, we have [-] fewer exam papers!"
"The team leader didn't know that last year's questions were too simple to reflect the authority of the exam, so we increased the difficulty this year." said a judge, who was one of the first test questions for this year's competition.
"It's okay to increase the difficulty, but you can't make the test questions too difficult. If you look at the test questions, some of them have already involved the content of the university." Li Xueming said with a displeased face.
The whole city only got three full marks, which made him, the team leader, feel ashamed.
"Leader Li, isn't the purpose of our participation in the number federation is to select talents." The middle-aged judge continued: "Since it is to select talents, there is no problem in being a little ahead."
"By the way, the team leader still has a test paper in my hand that has not been counted. This one is quite special." He said, he picked up the test paper and handed it to Li Xueming: "Please ask the team leader to review it."
"I want to see what's special."
"Beishan No. [-] Middle School, Qin Luo." Li Xueming nodded slightly. He is the leader of the mathematics research team. As the team leader, he usually does not participate in marking papers. His job is mainly to investigate mathematics teaching activities in various schools and make decisions on major issues.
"150, ± (1), what does this mean?" Li Xueming frowned, with a cold look in his eyes, and said sharply: "Mathematics is a rigorous science. 150 is 150,149, and 149 is [-]. I don't want to get a perfect score. The test papers, throw away the rigor of mathematics!"
"It's such a team leader. Qin Luo's papers are clean and tidy. The whole answering process is done in one go. There is no mistake in the steps of solving the questions. What's more rare is that he completely uses the knowledge from high school."
"So I think 150 points is the score he deserves, and that point I personally prefer to add points for encouragement."
The middle-aged judge said with a smile: "This is also the result of a joint discussion among our marking teachers."
"However, there is also a problem. His answer is too rigorous. It is so rigorous that it is hard to believe that this is an answer written by a high school student, so there is that ±1 point."
Marking is a very boring job, with various answers and different proof processes. When encountering more complicated questions, students’ test papers must be altered, and the marking teacher even spends time helping students find the answers.
But Qin Luo didn't have these things at all. He proved the process rigorously, the answer was correct, and he didn't even alter it at all. He was like a rigorous and hopeless machine, without a single mistake.
In this way, he had a feeling that Qin Luo was cheating.
±1 point, the right to decide is in the hands of Li Xueming.
"Da da da~" Li Xueming didn't speak, his brows were wrinkled, and his right index finger tapped the table rhythmically.
The entire marking room fell into dead silence.
"151!"
After a long while, Li Xueming finally made a decision.
"Huh~" The middle-aged judges let out a long sigh of relief.
Compared with the latter, he is more inclined to the former, Qin Luo has the strength to hold an additional point!The first 151 points in the history of Shulian!
The next day!
Commonly known as the day of the announcement!
On this day, according to the rules of the Shulian, the results of the first test will be announced.
