" Huaxia Base is a little strong this year."
"What do you mean?"
The teacher in charge of invigilating Li An was panting heavily. He was drinking water in the office and talking about the strange things he had seen.
" Do you know, I was the invigilator for that Indian kid back then? I remember that he handed in his paper in the preliminaries. It was 40 minutes, and he got full marks later. At that time, the professors at MIT were almost driven mad, but it was indeed heaven-defying. But today, I saw something. I think either the answer was leaked, or this kid is too strong.”
The answer was leaked?"
A few invigilators who were listening to the commotion expressed their views one after another.
"Impossible. Even we find that kind of answer annoying. Even if it's leaked, it's meaningless. Although the results are the same in mathematical language, if it's exactly the same as the formal answer, we'll definitely be able to find it. The formal answer is the simplest and most direct.”
The invigilator in charge of Li An said helplessly,""However, the child I saw today finished the paper in 25 minutes. Moreover, the answers were as simple and direct as you said. The most infuriating thing is that his answers were even more direct than the answers given by MIT.”
"No, China can't be that strong. Even if China's mathematics is very good, there's no reason for it to be so good.”
The teacher said," You guys should take a look at the paper. This child is obviously not aiming for full marks for the last question. He's aiming for extra marks. He wants to know what the highest score we can give is.”
Overscore?
It was common for students to exceed their marks in math exams, but they had never passed the Olympics. It was already good enough that they could finish the questions in three hours. Moreover, this year seemed to be a little strange.
There had never been a perfect score in the Olympics for two consecutive years. There was only one explanation for a perfect score. The person who set the questions did not treat the competition correctly.
High school math experts from all over the world participated in the preliminary competition. Each country had five people participating in the competition.
The marking of the exam papers was also very serious. Of course, it was fortunate that there were only five questions. There were also many teachers, so everyone was able to finish marking them quickly.
The teacher in charge of invigilating Li An was very unlucky. This was the first time someone had fainted in the examination hall. This was the first time someone had handed in a paper within 25 minutes. Moreover, he had kindly reminded the child to wake up. This was an exam.
She shouldn't have reminded him and let him fall asleep.
"It's out, it's out."
A series of voices rang out. When the people from various countries who were sitting and resting in the canteen heard the news, they stood up one after another. Those who did well looked for their names from the front to the back, while those who did badly looked for their names from the back to the front.
"Li An, aren't you going to take a look?"
"That's right. We've been asking you how you did. Why didn't you tell us?”
"Yeah, tell us about it."
"I think something is going to happen," Li An said.”
Something happened?
Everyone looked at Li An in confusion. Nie Siwu thought for a moment and said,""Do you need to call the embassy? If this group of people is shameless, I don't recommend using the back door.”
"No need," Li An said."He's already here.”
"May I know who Li An is?"
A Caucasian man shouted in Chinese. Li An stood up and said,""It's me. What's the matter?"
The teacher looked at Li An and said seriously,""Come with me. We need to review your paper. We need you to answer it in person.”
Answer in person?
At this moment, everyone realized that the first and last place on the rankings were the same person's names. They were both Li An.
The name of the first person had reached a terrifying 120 points. If it was a 120-point paper, no one would be shocked. However, the main point was that this was a 100-point paper.
Also, the second place only got 60 points, and you're twice as good as everyone else. Are you sure that's good?
This was still the preliminary round.
Nie Siwu followed Li An into an office. As soon as he entered the office, Li An began to feel the pressure of his future. Bald, they were all bald.
They were all bald.
A Chinese man stood at the side and smiled at Li An.""I'm the translator. You just need to answer your last question. There are five algorithms, and there are only four proper answers. Why did you give five answers?”
Li An said," The last question is a traditional calculation question, but because it involves a sequence of numbers and abstract mathematics, I think it's better to use Galois theory. After all, this man is the founder of abstract mathematics. However, because it involves solid geometry, I think many people are familiar with the Greek Ethereal. I plan to use the ancient Greek arithmetic method to solve it.”
Fortunately, up until now, the translation was still possible. It did not involve anything of a professional nature.
At this moment, a white man quickly said a series of words in English. The interpreter explained," This old man wants to know why you must use Greek mathematics to solve the problem. Also, regarding the middle step of the problem, the algorithm of the mean value, everyone will habitually think of Lagrange. Why didn't you think of it and choose not to use it?”
Li An said,"" Although the Lagrange's mean value theorem is useful, this problem is about how to solve the geometry problem with numbers. Why do I think of Lagrange when I see the mean value? It's obviously a trap. It doesn't mean that the mean value theorem is only useful to Lagrange. If you want, I can turn it into projection geometry. Assuming that there is a shadow, I can start from the assumption and calculate it in reverse. If this problem is complicated, there can actually be other algorithms. Math, it's the same. It's normal."
Damn it, damn it. This unlucky child must be cheating.
The few people present looked at the translator stubbornly. The translator was very helpless. He wanted to flip through the dictionary now. There was no other way. There were too many professional things in it.
I can't translate it.
Was he a fake translator?
" Why are you using English to explain math?" Li An said slowly." Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?" You guys can't understand it because of your level. Why? Did you make a mistake?”
He spoke very slowly in English. This time, the translator did not need to translate.
However, the examiners present felt that their faces were red, as if they had been slapped in the face.
