"What? Do you want to finish the test early and try to prove the twin prime conjecture in the back of the exam room?"

Team leader Luo Jinlei wanted to reach out and touch Wang Yufei's forehead to see if this mathematical genius who Han Wenle repeatedly told to take good care of was really crazy.

Lead students to participate in the International Mathematics Olympiad and solve a math problem by the way.

Don't say it, Luo Jinlei has seen this kind of thing.

In dreams.

How cool it is in the dream, the whole world can be his.

It's a pity that many of them are dreaming now.

"Yes, so I need about fifteen pieces of cardboard of one meter by three meters, and a slightly thicker water-based pen. ”

Wang Yufei nodded and put forward his request.

There was silence for a long time.

"Are you serious?"

"I'm serious. ”

"Give me proof. ”

Then for the next three hours, Wang Yufei and Lu Yuxin stayed in Luo Jinlei's room.

......

Three hours later.

Luo Jinlei, who looked dazed, asked again: "Are you sure that you can answer the questions at least half of the time early every day and leave the examination room?"

After asking this question, it seemed that it was a bit inappropriate for me to ask this question, and that it might discourage the idea that the child wanted to make history, so I changed it to a more euphemistic way.

"It's not that I suspect you of anything. But you know, I can apply for it, but you have to know that there are people who want to see jokes on any occasion, and there are a lot of them! There are even more people here who want to see our jokes!"

"Yes, if you do it, you can say that it is a gift for this competition, and you can even say that it makes history, but if you can't do it, it's not just that you lose face, or our team loses face. ”

"Everybody would have thought it was a joke and even had a lot of coverage. When the time comes, it will not only be our face, but also the face of the whole of Huaxia! Have you thought about how much pressure there is in the middle?"

Luo Jinlei emphasized.

"No problem, Mr. Luo, I think it's challenging to be under pressure. If there's no pressure, it's no fun. ”

"Okay, you go back and rest first!" Luo Jinlei said Muran.

......

Sitting in the room, Luo Jinlei held the phone and engaged in a battle between heaven and man.

This kind of thing, as a team leader, should first report to China.

But he felt that Wang Yufei could persuade him in this room, but he didn't have the opportunity to go back to China to persuade others.

So here's the problem.

Should he put his future on the line and fight with this kid stud?

If he wins, he can brag for the rest of his life, but if he loses, he ......

"Phew, it's a big deal to lose and go back to your hometown to move bricks!"

Luo Jinlei's gaze gradually became resolute, and then he stood up majestically and walked out of the room.

......

"On behalf of the Chinese delegation, I would like to discuss something with Chairman Phillips. ”

"Do you have an appointment? Mr. Luo. ”

"No, but it's very important! I'm sure Chairman Phillips will be interested. ”

"Okay, please wait. I need to ask first. ”

"You're lucky, Mr. Rowe, Chairman Phillips has exactly fifteen minutes. Please follow me. ”

......

"Mr. Phillips, every major event in China is very important, and this is the 60th IMO competition, so one of our students from the Chinese team wants to challenge a world record that no one has ever touched before, to present this International Mathematics Olympiad. ”

"Oh, that's a very creative idea, so Luo, what are your students going to do? Do you need our cooperation?"

"Of course, that's why I came to you for support. In fact, what we need the organizing committee to do is very simple, that is, to prepare fifteen cardboards of about 3 square meters outside the passage of the indoor venue, and put them on shelves. ”

"Okay, Luo, don't sell it. Tell me, what the hell are you trying to do?"

"Yes, our children want to spend two days of exams to solve a problem that has plagued the mathematics world for a long time after completing the Olympiad problems. Luo Jinlei said stubbornly.

"Oh, you mean the afternoon break?"

No, it means that he will complete this Olympiad problem in the shortest possible time, and then use the gap between other competitors to solve the problem to complete this world problem. In other words, when the exam is over, he will also stop solving the questions outside the exam room. ”

There was another long silence.

The atmosphere froze in silence.

Then William Phillips, the respected Finnish mathematician, smiled like a chrysanthemum blooming on his old folded face.

"Luo, tell me, you're kidding. You must be kidding. You must know that the International Olympiad was conceived by the world's brightest mathematician for two months behind closed doors, right?"

"Of course, Chairman Phillips, I know. ”

"Then you must also know that the difficulty of the math problems in the IMO competition fluctuates every time, but it must not be too big, right?"

"Of course!"

"Okay, then tell me, who gave you the courage and confidence to think that someone can challenge the impossible? to challenge something that no one had even dared to think of before. ”

"Probably one of the children I brought with me this time. ”

Luo Jinlei replied, and then Wang Yufei's face appeared in his mind, and he didn't know how to be confident.

There was silence again.

"You know, Luo, this joke isn't funny!"

"Chairman, I'm not kidding!"

"But if it fails, it's going to be a joke!"

"Even if it really becomes a joke, it is a joke of the Chinese team, and it will not damage the face of IMO. ”

"So, are you really serious?"

"Very serious, I've never been so serious as I am today!"

"This is the unanimous opinion of all of you in the Huaxia delegation?"

"Yes!"

After a long silence.

"I'm struck by your serious joking, of course, maybe I'm just trying to see which math kid can give you this kind of confidence that borders on hubris, or maybe maybe I'm more interested in miracles. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it, get the curtain ready. But please accept a kind suggestion from me. We don't want to reveal this whimsical idea until your child can walk out of the exam room early, okay?"

"Thank you very much, Mr. Phillips!"

"Well, I hope you Huaxia people can really create a miracle, although so far I still think you are joking. ”

"I'm looking forward to it too. ”

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

......

Luo Jinlei, who walked out of the chairman's temporary office, breathed a sigh of relief.

It was probably the best he could get.

If Wang Yufei can't do it, what he can probably do is to eat the fifteen panels little by little in front of the chairman of the IMO organizing committee!

No, why did he eat alone!

You have to pull the initiator to eat it together!
