Chapter 67: Mental Arithmetic Test
On July 5th, Zhou Ming rested at home for a day, and on July 6th, Zhou Ming took the high-speed train to NJ again, or at Tianhe Gymnasium, to participate in the mental arithmetic ability test of "The Strongest Brain". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhou Ming called Wang Yunqing, the chief director of "The Strongest Brain", yesterday and asked him if he could challenge the mental arithmetic project, and he was also good at mental arithmetic.
Wang Yunqing was overjoyed, because the "Strongest Brain" column group has recently been frantically looking for mental arithmetic masters across the country, but they just can't find a mental arithmetic master who has the strength on the table.
Especially two years ago, Chen Lanlan, the "Queen of Mental Arithmetic" of Country Z, drew with Hiroming Ishiya, the "Emperor of Mental Arithmetic" of the Foot Basin Country, and announced his retirement.
Now that he heard that Zhou Ming took the initiative to think about it, Wang Yunqing planned to give him a chance to appear on stage again, but this "Rubik's Cube Emperor" suddenly studied "mental arithmetic" across fields, and whether his strength was good or not, he put a question mark in his heart.
Test room.
"3216 + 5024 + 5324 + 5245 + 1255, this is the addition of five four-digit numbers, players please answer. ”
3.5 seconds later, Zhou Ming showed the answer board in his hand: 20064, and said to the female science assistant in front of him: "The addition is too simple, change to a more difficult multiplication." ”
"The answer is correct, here's a multiplication of nine times five digits, 165465456× 46456, please start answering!"
In less than 5 seconds, Zhou Ming showed the answer board in his hand again: 7686863223936, and said: "It's not difficult enough, it's even more difficult to change!"
"The answer is correct, the next step is a seven-digit multiplication of eleven-digit large digits, the difficulty coefficient is very high, please look at the big screen question board. ”
Ke Li pointed his hand to an electronic screen on the wall of the test room, and asked Zhou Ming to look at the question board in the center of the screen:
6314859×87420397516
After the question board showed this question, Zhou Ming first used one second to print these two sets of numbers into his brain, and then ran his brain for two seconds, and then began to write, bury his head in the answer board and answer quickly, and write down a string of numbers:
552047484037490244
When Zhou Ming pressed the timer and compared the answers, the scientific assistant couldn't help but shout: "It's completely correct, less than seven seconds, it's too fast, it's too fast!"
Wang Yunqing, the director on the side, also widened his eyes, looked at him like a monster for a while, and then asked: "Zhou Ming, how long have you been practicing mental arithmetic, your mental arithmetic strength is completely at the top level in China, and you are fully qualified to be on "The Strongest Brain", and PK with the 'Mental Arithmetic Emperor' Ishiya Hongming in the Foot Basin Country!"
Zhou Ming smiled: "I practiced this project with the Rubik's Cube, and I have been practicing for more than a month......
"In a month, I've practiced to this extent......"
Wang Yunqing's eyes widened, and he looked at him in disbelief, this monster, what did you fly from that planet to Earth, what is the purpose of your coming to Earth?
After complaining in his heart, Wang Yunqing reminded him again in a timely manner: "Zhou Ming, your level of large-digit multiplication is very good, but Hiroaki Ishiya is best at large-digit division, do you also have strong strength in division mental arithmetic?"
On the surface, the difficulty of multiplication mental arithmetic and division mental arithmetic should be comparable, but one is forward operation (multiplication) and the other is inverse operation (division), but because of the different thinking patterns of different human brains, some people are good at forward operation, others are good at reverse operation, and people who are good at forward operation account for the majority, and those who are good at reverse operation are only very few.
For example, people have a habit of using their hands, and right-handers are definitely much more right-handed than left-handed.
Zhou Ming smiled and said: "No problem, I think that division is simpler than multiplication, and it will write many fewer digits and make answers faster...... If you don't believe it, just ask the question and test it. ”
"Here is a division of eleven digits divided by six digits, please be prepared to answer. ”
26243504882÷567329
46258
Brushing brush, Zhou Ming quickly wrote out the answer and pressed the timer.
"Correct answer, it took 2.8 seconds!"
"The following question is more difficult, it is a sixteen-digit division divided by nine digits, please watch the question board to show the answer to the question!"
2191669850969445÷589240137
3719485
After the question appeared, Zhou Ming wrote the correct answer in an extreme time.
"It took 5.7 seconds, exactly right!"
After answering two questions correctly in a row, Wang Yunqing at this time was not calm at all, and said loudly to Kezhu: "Quick! Take the division problem that Hiroaki Shiwu hit the Brain King last year, and let Zhou Ming do it too, and see how long it will take him to figure out the answer!"
"Director Wang, do you mean, that eighteen-digit division divided by eleven digits, and Hiroaki Ishiya calculated a super-large digit division in more than 7 seconds?"
Kosuke's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, last year's Brain King Challenge was unforgettable, although Hiroaki Ishiya didn't win the Brain King Trophy in the end, but through this division problem, the strong strength he showed still impressed everyone.
"Yes, yes, take this question and let Zhou Ming try it too, and see if he can break the record of Hiroaki Ishiya!"
Wang Yunqing saw hope, saw the program "The Strongest Brain", and in the mental arithmetic project, he was suppressed by the "Mental Arithmetic Emperor" of the Foot Basin Country for three consecutive years, and now there is finally hope for the possibility of turning over.
Zhou Ming, the ordinary young man in front of him, brought him shock and surprise, far more than any contestant who had been on the show "The Strongest Brain".
This young man is extremely confident and arrogant! But he is never afraid of challenges, and in the process of challenges, he can always use his strength to the limit of human beings to prove that the big words he released are not false! He can also afford to let go, disdain to deal with the weak, and say that his brain is the strongest brain, and to defeat all opponents, Wang Yunqing actually doesn't believe it very much, only thinks that he is young and vigorous, but now, he really began to believe it a little.
"Eighteen divided by eleven, more than 7 seconds, I think about it, I have also watched this episode, it seems to be 7 seconds 48 ......"
Zhou Ming was also deeply impressed by the Brain King Challenge in the last episode of the third season of "The Strongest Brain", and in this episode of the show, it seems that the last winner of the Brain King trophy is a 15-year-old boy named Chen Zhiqiang, nicknamed "Supernova Boy".
The technician quickly found the question and entered it into the back-end system of the question board.
Kesuke, who has a sweet voice, also gently prompted: "Zhou Ming, please watch the question board carefully, this question is very difficult, I hope you will show your maximum strength, solve this question in the fastest time, and write the correct answer." After saying that, Kosuke quietly threw him a wink.
“OK!”
Zhou Ming made a gesture, concentrated, and stared at the countdown on the question board, 3,2,1, the question is displayed!
425688500537940536÷74169305821
Brush Brush Brush!
Boom!
Press the timer, 5.35 seconds.
Zhou Ming had no reservations, and almost immediately after scanning the question, he wrote his answer on the answer board:
5739416
Wang Yunqing, who was standing on the side, immediately snatched his answer board and asked the staff to announce the correct answer: 5739416.
"Exactly, exactly!"
Seeing all the time of the timer last week, Wang Yunqing was stunned, the beautiful woman next to him was also stunned, and the other staff in the test room were also staying, and then they all looked at the man with adoring eyes, and everyone's faces were extremely excited.
"Bang, bang~"
"Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang ~"
It was not just who applauded first, but then there was a round of applause in the test room, which was difficult to calm down for a long time.
"Xiao Zhou, you are really the savior of our "The Strongest Brain", those who question and insult "The Strongest Brain" every day, now you can finally shut your mouth! Go! Don't say anything, Xiao Zhou, I want to invite you to a big meal!"
Wang Yunqing, the red-faced director, hugged Zhou Ming's arm and said, then glanced at the eight or nine staff members in the test room for a week, waved his hand, and said boldly and generously: "Let's go, you guys go together, the director is in a good mood today, please have a big meal together!"
"Long live Director Wang!"
There was cheers in the testing room!
……
At noon, a meal of more than 10,000 yuan was consumed in a seafood hotel in the city, Wang Yunqing answered a phone call halfway, and after eating, Wang Yunqing, who was slightly drunk, pulled Zhou Ming aside and said:
"Xiao Zhou, the column team has just adjusted the recording arrangement, on July 10th, the eighth issue of "The Strongest Brain", arrange for you to appear again! Facing the two apprentices sent by Hiroaki Ishiya, don't underestimate his two apprentices, after you go back, practice more mental arithmetic, and face the battle in the best condition! Also, your body can't have the same accident as last time, it's best to rush to NJ in advance, and the program team will arrange food and accommodation for you...... Also, keep the phone open at all times to ensure that you can be reached at any time!"
"No problem, Director Wang. Zhou Ming nodded.
may still feel unsafe, Wang Yunqing whispered in his ear again:
"Xiao Zhou, if the recording of the eighth issue of "The Strongest Brain", if nothing else, you also successfully defeated the two apprentices of Hiroaki Ishiya, the column team decided to give you a bonus of 300,000! In addition, in the future, your appearance fee for each episode of the program will be increased to 50,000, that is, as long as you participate in the recording of the program, you can get 50,000 even if you don't participate in the challenge...... Xiao Zhou, I will tell you secretly, Brother Shui's Wang Yiheng's appearance fee is also this number, and our column group is up and down, but I am very optimistic about you. ”
"Oh~ and this kind of thing?"
Zhou Ming's eyes lit up, and he immediately patted his chest and promised: "Director Wang, please rest assured, even if the sky is falling, I also promise to come to the show and try to come to NJ a day or two in advance...... Now, you should be relieved, right?"
Wang Yunqing raised his head and laughed: "Don't worry, absolutely rest assured!"
