Chapter 442 Breaking the Record Again (Thanks to Leader Yohohohohoho)

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

Among them, Xiao Sun was the most nervous.

In the first round, his performance was actually quite impressive. Among so many top high school students, he could also be ranked ninth.

If there was no Chen Yuan in No. 11 Middle School, he would be the strongest and an absolute card.

But the tricky thing is that there is a monster in his camp.

And he made a big splash in the first battle and won the first place, and it was an exaggerated 100 points to win the first place.

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

Such an exaggerated person must be very strong in No. 11 Middle School, right?

Yes, very strong, second only to me.

Then who are you?

I can only say that I hope my performance in the next round can maintain the current level.

If I can be in the top ten stably, I can get some points for No. 11 Middle School.

In this way, among the top ten, I and Chen Yuan are worthy of the name of the twin stars of No. 11 Middle School.

He is just a little nervous.

As for Wu Wenxin, it is completely under great pressure.

She had absolute confidence in Shi Yi, after all, he was her childhood sweetheart.

But her confidence in herself was very limited.

Although I have tens of thousands of books at home, they were all read by Shi Yi!

Besides, this round will be even more difficult!

It's a pity.

If it weren't for the anti-peep film, my squinting eyes would have been useful!

Everyone present felt a little suffocated.

Because the tone of the competition was too high, and there were 30 cases of no points, everyone was naturally afraid of the second round.

Only Shi Yi was different.

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

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

In this way, in the spotlight, the second round began.

The question suddenly appeared on the screen-the king of logic.

Seeing this question, everyone expected it.

If it is an intelligence competition, logic is definitely unavoidable.

The first round is the ultimate test of memory, pure rote memorization.

Then the second round must be more flexible.

Otherwise, if the memory is the only test, some contestants will be too popular.

But this will cause some liberal arts students on the field to suffer a little bit...

After all, when it comes to memory, liberal arts and science are on par. Some liberal arts students may even be more outrageous.

"Then Yang Jialan feels like she will be cut off..."

"Not necessarily. Although she studied liberal arts, she did not study liberal arts because she was not good at science. Before the class placement test, she seemed to have ranked in the top ten in science."

"So awesome? If you can rank in the top ten in science, why do you want to study liberal arts?"

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

For this part, many people began to worry about themselves as a liberal arts student.

But Yang Jialan was not panicked at all.

She chose liberal arts because her parents are lawyers.

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

One day, she can also become a great lawyer.

But this does not mean that logic is her shortcoming.

On the contrary, because she had learned some lawyer-related knowledge in advance and often exercised her logical thinking ability, such as simple IQ questions like "turtle soup", her logical thinking ability was not weaker than those top science players.

So, this round is still within my range.

Looking up, looking at the gold crown on Chen Yuan's head on the ranking list. And the bronze crowns on her and Shi Yi's heads, she secretly vowed to take back the first place that belonged to her.

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

"This round will have 10 logical thinking questions. Each question is worth 10 points, for a total of 100 points."

While waiting, the host introduced the rules to everyone: "But unlike the first round, the initial score is not accumulated according to the submission time. The total time is 30 minutes, and each question takes an average of three minutes. When the time is up, the game is over. However, if you finish all the questions within the time limit and get them all right, the first place can get 5 points. The second place gets 4 points, and the points decrease in order."

"That means the highest score is 105."

"And only if you submit all the questions correctly will you get extra points, so there is no chance to cheat."

"Then the difference between the top players is based on the extra points for the order of submission?"

Just as everyone was discussing this, the host once again showed that naughty smile: "Everyone has good ideas, but these extra points may not be something you need to consider."

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

"It's zero."

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

But some people were ignited.

Yang Jialan, Chen Yuan, and Shi Yi immediately set a new goal - the person who broke the record must be me!

"Has no one ever gotten a perfect score before?" The principal of Hengzhong asked curiously.

This link should also be new, and it has been carried out for several sessions and experimented in other schools.

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

"Is it because the setting is difficult?"

"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 in this competition, the test is not just about solving questions!

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 pills are 1g each, spoiled pills are 1.1g each. 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 gets bonus points.

So urgent.

Biting his lips lightly, 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.

He who rides on a horse is urging his life!

"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 indeed possible to do 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 equals 55g, and the extra gram weight 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 the feeling of 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!

"It's helpful to do a lot of competition questions." 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 this stage.

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

This time Bai Mingze did not come, and it depends on whether the strongest fighting force of Haidong Province can beat Jingnan and Jibei.

Shi Yi made a plan, that is, to do the simple questions, put aside the difficult ones first, and come back to write them at the end.

But when writing, he did not implement this plan.

Instead, he solved them one by one.

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

But the remaining time for each question is not much.

In this way, he also wrote the 7th question.

The 7th question,

8 balls, one of which is heavier than the others, there is a balance, how many times at least can you find the heavy ball (the answer must be with analysis).

After spending five seconds to read the question, Shi Yi didn't think about it and started to write the question directly.

Twice.

This should be the simplest of all the questions, which can be solved in seconds.

Compared with the first weighing question, this one is indeed super simple and easy to get points for everyone.

The thinking is also more concise.

3, 3, 2 will do.

So for this question, Shi Yi spent most of his time writing the answer.

In fact, this kind of weighing question requires skills.

Normal people think about the average score.

Weigh four to four.

Then weigh two to two.

The last one to one.

That is three times.

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

But it is impossible to weigh it in one time.

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

It's a pity that it is not a fill-in-the-blank or multiple choice, otherwise it would be faster.

However, it should be expected that many people will rely on experience to answer questions, so it is required to write the solution ideas in it.

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

Even Shi Yi does not think that the thirty minutes is enough.

He believes that a large part of the people here should not be stumped.

But they will definitely lose to time.

When he got to the sixth question, Zhang Jianjun frowned.

His expression seemed a little painful.

So, he held his waist and slowly straightened his body, which made him feel a little more comfortable...

The lumbar disc herniation became more serious.

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

For this mere competition with students, I made my body so stiff, I really tried my best.

It's almost used up thirty minutes, and I only wrote five questions.

In the last ten minutes, it seems that there are only two questions at most.

It's even possible that I can't finish the two questions, because each question requires more than a hundred words.

I can still use old memory as an excuse, but this round, I really can't strive to be the first.

However, he didn't waste any time thinking all the way.

Even if there are students who are much faster than him, at most they can be ahead of him by two questions.

Well, 90 points is the maximum.

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

Unless you are a superman.

Damn, I'm so annoyed.

Can you just write a solvable one? !

While concentrating on writing the questions, Chen Yuan wanted to curse.

The time given is too short!

Are you the one who wrote the questions and your mother doesn't want you?

Come here and try it yourself. Can you finish these questions in 30 minutes?

If you can do it, I'll eat this tablet!

But I,

I think I can do it.

After finishing the second to last question without stopping, Chen Yuan found that there were still two minutes left.

In other words, as long as he worked very hard on the last question and submitted it before the time limit, he could not only finish it, but also have a chance to get extra points.

In fact, full marks mean extra points.

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

But so far, no one has got 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 either.

Two minutes, too short!

Half of the time is spent on reading the questions and writing them, and then you have to think of the correct method within one minute.

Damn, is there any process score?

No choice, do it!

Even if he couldn't finish the last question, he could still tie the record.

But if he finished it, he would create history!

Just like that, before looking at 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 were still two minutes left, what was he doing...

Just as Chen Yuan was thinking this, the audience cheered fiercely.

It was like they were cheering for him in the first round.

And the target was not himself.

"Fuck! There are only two minutes left before the question is handed in?"

"I only wrote the fifth question!"

"Does that mean he has finished all ten questions?"

"Fuck, this kind of question that requires writing a detailed solution process and takes three minutes for each question, is it a human being?"

"It's Shi Yi again, Shi Yi who was the second fastest in the last round!"

"But the question seems to be still being revised. If all are correct, it will be 105 points."

"If you get one question wrong, there will be no extra points, it will be 90."

"I think there's so much time left, so it's okay to just check it out..."

Check it out.

Chen Yuan didn't even need to think about it, he knew what the final result would be.

Because he was Shi Yi.
