Hearing He Fan's answer, although everyone was not very satisfied with this answer. However, he could not find any other reasonable explanation, so he accepted it. Moreover, there was still the third round of the competition. They wanted to know if something even more bizarre would happen next.
Meanwhile, the Japanese player Akira Tsuchiya was feeling uneasy. He was sure that he was starting to get nervous. Even when he faced Chen Ranran in the past, he did not panic. He and Chen Ranran could be said to be old rivals. In the past, they had fought many times in the international arena, and the outcome was considered to be 50 - 50.
Therefore, he could not afford to lose the third round. If he lost, it would be a " disaster " for the entire Japanese mental arithmetic world, because he was the flag of Japan.
The third round of questions was generated by a computer, and the question was divided by the number of digits. This was what Tsuchiya Akira was good at.
The recording studio was so quiet that one could hear the falling leaves.
He Fan was on guard. After all, Tsuchiya Honming was known as the Great Emperor of Mental Arithmetic, so there was no doubt about his strength. As the saying goes,"There are only wrong names, but never wrong nicknames."”
This was a 20-digit by 8-digit question, which was even more difficult than the second round.
The big screen quickly displayed the scene, and the two players were already staring at it. The moment the question appeared, they started writing.
"Beep." The sound of the first answer rang out. In such a tense environment, it was like a great bell, appearing heroic and heroic.
Mr. Jiang Changjian immediately shouted,"China's contestant, He Fan, will answer the questions first.”
In the guest seats, Tao Zi's scalp went numb. She reached out and scratched her head. She really couldn't accept it because He Fan's answer time was even shorter this time.
The host, Teacher Jiang, said with tears in her eyes," At this moment, I don't know how to express my feelings. The human brain, when you think that this is the limit, a new record will be born in the next moment. Oh, I'm sorry. We haven't checked He Fan's answer yet, so it's too early to say anything. However, I believe that everyone here wants to witness the birth of a miracle on the stage of The Strongest Brain. 1.05 seconds. Let's wait and see.”
"Verification, verification." The live audience cheered He Fan on, but who was still paying attention to Tsuchiya Hongming? On the competition stage, the only thing that was remembered was the champion. Therefore, no matter what level of competition it was, although the players said that friendship was first and competition was second, they were still very confident. However, in the official competition, everyone would fight for the first place.
Even without Teacher Jiang leading the way, the audience had already started waving flags and shouting.
On the stage, Teacher Jiang asked He Fan,"Are you confident in your answer?" Because it's too fast."
He Fan had always been very calm. He was not happy because of others, nor was he sad because of himself. He was calm and composed, like a gentleman who had walked out of a painting.
"From the moment I pressed the answer button, the competition had already ended.”
Such an answer could be interpreted as confidence or arrogance, but the live audience simply fell for it.
"Alright, I understand He Fan's meaning. Now, let's start verifying.”
"This is an 11-digit answer. Let's check from the highest digit.”
"What is the first number? Science Assistant, please tell me. 3, correct."
Thunderous applause rang out.
Then, he continued to verify. One by one, numbers came out of Teacher Jiang's mouth. Correct, correct, correct.
When the final number was verified, the atmosphere at the scene had already reached a white-hot level.
Teacher Jiang was trying his best to shout," There's only one number left. The scientific assistant, don't keep me in suspense. Just reveal it."”
"The last number is 7, correct. Congratulations to He Fan, he will have a chance to compete for the final Brain King qualification. Let us give him our blessings, our blessings to this 15-year-old genius.”
The audience was in an uproar, the guests were excited, and the other contestants were no longer calm. This was because on their way to compete for the Brain King, an abnormally powerful opponent had appeared.
At the end of the competition, Teacher Jiang was interviewing the two contestants.
"Mr. Tsuchiya Akira, although you didn't win, I believe you have a lot to say to your friends who care and support you."
"Yes, I'm very grateful to them. I'm grateful for their love for me all this time. At the same time, I want to tell He Fan that you're really powerful. I still don't understand how you did it so quickly. There's an old saying in China that goes, there's always someone better than you. That's why I've never dared to underestimate the contestants from China. Coming to China to compete gave me a lot of benefits. I will come back to China.”
"Alright, thank you, Akira Tsuchiya. Please rest backstage.”
In the judging panel, the three international judges were whispering to each other. In the end, they might have already discussed it, so they asked Mike. Garzaniga spoke on their behalf.
"Host, we have a request before we give the marks. We hope to watch He Fan's answer again and request that the speed be slowed down by five times. I believe that we will discover something interesting in slow motion.”
The audience was puzzled? What did this foreign old man mean? Did he suspect that the Chinese contestants were cheating? But that was impossible. The questions were chosen by the international judges, and the contestants would not know anything before that.
"May I know why?" Ms. Jiang asked.”
Mike "Jiang, trust me. The truth will be revealed soon," said Garzaniga mysteriously.”
"Alright, to be fair, our program team will slow down He Fan's answer process. Director, is this okay?"
"Sure, we will replay it 360 degrees without any blind spots.”
Everyone was focused on the big screen. The screen was very slow. In the screen, He Fan was staring at the question screen, the pen in his hand touching the answer board. The moment the question appeared, his pen moved. But later, the audience found something unbelievable.
He Fan was still writing the answer, but his left hand was already reaching for the answering machine. The screen clearly played the process of him answering first. When the last number was written, his left hand rang the bell at the same time. In other words, he was doing two things at the same time, pushing the person's reaction to the limit. In such a tense and important game, how much confidence did it take to do that?
"Awesome, I, Shuai Fan, am indeed different.”
"Yeah, look at the previous contestants, including the Japanese little witch, Stone Frog Rin, Tsuchiya Komi, and Goddess Ranran. They were all experts, experts, highly experts, but they all finished writing the answers before they started to press the answering machine.”
"Actually, the previous mental arithmetic masters could also write and press at the same time, but they didn't expect to be able to do it like Shuai Fan. This is a problem of strategy and awareness.”
Teacher Jiang was very happy and threw the topic to the judges.
"Dao Dao Wei, I understand why you asked for He Fan's match to be played in slow motion. "But how did you find out? You have to know that I was the closest to him. Before the replay, I didn't notice it at all.”
The nagging guard stood up, his voice trembling."Just now, the four of us judges were talking. Why was He Fan so fast? The third question was obviously more difficult than the first two questions, but he took even less time. We thought, He Fan must have snatched the gap, so where was the gap? We analyzed the entire process and realized that it could only be done during the process of writing the answer. The facts proved that my deduction was correct. However, we don't encourage other players to do the same unless they are 100% correct.”
Hearing Dao Wei's words, the other players fell into deep thought. As for whether they should learn from He Fan, only they knew. After all, the contestants who could participate in the competition were not ordinary people. They all had pride in their hearts.
Next was the grading segment for the four judges.
Daowei first showed his score of "10 points", which was the highest score.
The three international judges seemed to agree for a moment before finally showing their scores at the same time.
10 points, 10 points, 10 points.
Teacher Jiang was a little surprised." Dear judges, I have to remind you that this is only the second round of the competition, but you all scored full marks. This is a little unfair to the contestants behind.”
“NO，NO，NO。We're giving out our scores based on the principle of fairness and publicity. If the contestants behind are really amazing enough, I'll give them full marks too. If they end up with the same score, we can let them try out the competition. As for the competition, that's up to your program team to consider.”
"Alright, you can decide how many points you want to give. Now, we will take a 15-minute break.”
Under the lead of the staff, He Fan returned backstage.
This time, it was lively. Be it the contestants, staff, guests, judges, producers, directors, or even the leaders of the station, they all surrounded He Fan.
At this moment, He Fan was like a fragrant bun. He had become famous on the stage of 'The Strongest Brain'. The station's leaders all hoped to establish a good relationship with him. This was a guarantee for the viewership ratings. He believed that after the show was broadcast, He Fan's popularity would definitely rise in a straight line. As the producer of the strongest brain, Su Wei TV Station would definitely earn a lot of money in the end.
