Chapter 20-Ultimate Mysteries-The Irregular Basins
Cheng Chuwen looked at the two of them in shock.
He had blurted out the result just now, but after saying it, he realized that something was wrong.
The Prime Minister of the Great Tang, and a famous one at that, couldn't even do a simple math question. This was too abnormal.
However, Cheng Chuwen didn't know that not only Fang Xuanling, but many people in the Great Tang were also at this level of mathematics, and it would continue until the Great Song.
During the Great Song Dynasty, after the abacus was invented, the level of mathematics in history was greatly improved.
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling reacted. Seeing that Cheng Chuwen was still in a daze, they thought that he was also shocked by the result they quickly came up with.
Li Shi Min sighed,""Brat, no one in the world is omnipotent. Your medical skills are so brilliant, and you even created such a powerful thing.
This is already very rare. It's fine even if you're a little inferior in mathematics. You don't have to feel too inferior.”
At this time, Cheng Chuwen finally reacted. Seeing that Li Shimin actually despised his mathematics level, he immediately said,"My calculation is correct. If it doesn't work, you can try.”
Seeing that Cheng Chuwen was so concerned about his face, Li Shimin said in a deep voice,"If you didn't miscalculate, why are you in a daze? Didn't you think that you made a mistake and made up a result? That's why you were in a daze?”
"I was stunned because your math skills are so bad." Cheng Chuwen pursed his lips.”
"You…"
Li Shimin was so angry that he couldn't speak. He turned to Fang Xuanling and said,"You calculate the result now and let this little bastard understand that he is not omnipotent.”
Fang Xuanling glanced at Cheng Chuwen and squatted down silently. He grabbed a random branch and started counting in front of Li Shiming.
Very soon, Fang Xuanling came to a conclusion.
However, when Fang Xuanling saw this result, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He said in a wooden voice,"Your Majesty, the average yield per mu is 1190 jin.”
"Did you hear that? You…"
Li Shiming suddenly lowered his head to look at Fang Xuanling's answer. He gasped and said in disbelief,"Are you really right?"
"What else?"
"For me, this kind of question, I could forget it when I was eight years old."”
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling's faces turned red. Cheng Chuwen had been able to calculate at the age of eight, but they were both in their teens, and one was the Emperor while the other was the Prime Minister. They had to take their time to calculate the result.
It was simply too embarrassing.
Seeing the two of them, Cheng Chuwen suddenly had an idea. He thought of a world-famous math problem and smiled."This kind of arithmetic is too low-level. Do you want me to give you a harder one and give you an hour to do it?”
This was blatantly looking down on them.
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling were furious. Li Shiming said in a deep voice,"Brat, don't be too arrogant. What if we can calculate it?”
"You can do whatever you want."
Cheng Chuwen didn't care at all. A person who had to solve elementary math problems on the ground couldn't solve this problem in an hour.
Cheng Chuwen squatted down and picked up the small branch that Fang Xuanling had calculated earlier. He wiped off the numbers that Fang Xuanling had calculated earlier and began to write:
A wooden basin had two bamboo tubes for water and one bamboo tube for water. It took one hour for the bamboo tube A to fill up the basin, 25 minutes for the bamboo tube B to fill up the basin, and 35 minutes for the bamboo tube B to fill up the basin. How long would it take for the basin to be filled up if three bamboo tubes were used at the same time?
Li Shiming had been staring at Cheng Chuwen. After reading the questions, Li Shiming felt that there was something wrong with this person. He was going to let water in and let water out. What was he trying to do?
However, Cheng Chuwen ignored him and stood up with a smile."If you can answer this question within an hour, I'll do whatever you want.”
Seeing Cheng Chuwen's smug look, Li Shimin was very unhappy.
With a cold snort, he crouched down and began to calculate.
Soon, they realized that with their current level of mathematics, it was impossible for them to solve this question in half an hour. They stood up and glared at Cheng Chuwen."Rascal, are you deliberately making things difficult for us?
It was impossible to answer such a difficult question within an hour.”
"Are you sure you can't figure it out?" Cheng Chuwen laughed."I was able to figure it out when I was twelve?"”
"You…"
Pointing at Cheng Chuwen, Li Shimin thought for a while and then squatted down to continue with Fang Xuanling on this problem that was despised by all the children in the future.
However, this time, Li Shimin stood up and pointed at Cheng Chuwen's nose,"Rascal, answer me now. Otherwise, I will punish you for deceiving the emperor today.”
