"Yes, yes, the two of them are really evenly matched!" Uncle Ge echoed casually. Turning around, he looked at Hu Peiwei's answer to the fourth question, and then said: "But the art of war is cloudy, 'all those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory'." Anything that wins by surprise belongs to the sword going sideways, but it can't be repeated. Although the solution to the water source of the river is ingenious, it is far less stable than Xiaohu's steady and upright method. ”

"All roads lead to Rome, and if you can do it, you don't know how high or bad you are, anyway, each question is up to 7 points. ”

"Like the previous Olympiads, there will be 6 to 8 points according to the difficulty of the questions. Now it is the same treatment, and each question is worth 7 points. I don't know which one is more reasonable?"

Overall, I still feel that this method is more reasonable now, after all, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and they are not good at them. You think it's easy, but I think it's hard. I think this geometry question is a scoring question, and you think it's the finale. If it's not all 7 points, it's obviously unfair. ”

"The honey of A, the arsenic of B. But let's also admit that since it is a different question from different people, there will definitely be a difference in difficulty. If we don't distinguish between scores, how can we show the selectivity and competitiveness of the competition?"

Two marking teachers, one is a top student of Jingshi University, and the other is a veteran driver with many years of Olympiad tutoring experience.

Teacher Shen pinched the pen: "Xiao Jiang is very good, he answered all 6 questions correctly, and there are almost no deduction points——"

Uncle Ge wrote down 42 points casually: "Xiao Hu is really powerful, worthy of being the first place in the Huguang Division, the test papers are clean and tidy, the thinking is clear, and the steps are meticulous, not to mention the first prize in the national finals, it is to win the gold medal in the International Olympiad, I don't think it's a big problem!"

"The two little guys should be evenly divided!" Teacher Shen also wrote "42" on Jiang Shuiyuan's test paper, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had known each other for many years.

They chatted and changed the test papers, and they didn't avoid Zhang Jin at all. Hearing that Jiang Shuiyuan and Hu Peiwei not only finished but also scored a full score, his tears fell down: "I, I-"

"What am I, what am I? If you can't finish it, go back and do it, what tears do you shed?" Uncle Ge is always so hardcore, and comforting people is no exception.

Teacher Shen handed the paper to Zhang Jin and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't cry, don't cry, it's just an inconsequential test, it's not a big deal." It's also my fault that it's a bit difficult to get the test paper out. You can answer three questions, it's already very remarkable, at least in the National Olympiad finals to win a second prize, no problem, no matter how good you play, the first prize can be expected. Think about the vast majority of contestants, who can't even make it to the national finals, what do you have to be sad about?"

Uncle Ge said: "That's it! If you shed tears when you encounter a problem that you can't do, then there will be a large-scale flood disaster every day in the country? Wipe your tears and show me the topic you have completed." ”

Zhang Jin took a sobbing hand over the answer sheet he had completed to Uncle Ge.

Uncle Ge glanced at ten lines, quickly swept a few pages, and said with rare approval: "The three questions I made are no problem, and there is one that has made a start, and the idea is also very correct." With enough time, completing the four questions should be a breeze. As Mr. Shen said just now, today's questions are more difficult, and if you can make 4 questions, you can win a second prize in the national finals. What is there to cry about?"

"He, he, they—"

Uncle Ge touched Zhang Jin's head: "They are them, and you are you." Just as not every student can enter Jingshi University, not everyone who engages in scientific research can become a god of Euler and Riemann, and not every player who participates in the Olympiad can win a gold medal. Okay, you can rest and go out to find a river source and play with them!"

"I-I-"

"If you haven't finished the question, I'll do it again when I go back next time, so I'll rest now. Combining work and rest, do you know?" opened his mouth, and Uncle Ge knew what he was going to say. He waved his hand impatiently, "Hurry up, hurry up! Don't be able to compare with others in your studies and collapse your own body, it will be a shame!"

Well, the so-called praise and gentleness before were all illusions, and the poisonous tongue was Uncle Ge's natural skills and true face.

Zhang Jin still didn't want to leave, and sat there staring at the test paper with teary eyes, as if he wanted to find out the Da Vinci code from those questions. Uncle Ge sighed: "Then you pack up the test papers and answer sheets, and we will send the water source to the river first, he must have something to do at night." You can continue to do it when you come back, don't delay Teacher Shen's time here!"

"Hmm!" Zhang Jin nodded heavily, and his movements immediately became sharp.

Jiang Shuiyuan and Hu Peiwei were chatting energetically, when they suddenly saw Uncle Ge and Zhang Jin walking out, and asked in surprise: "Huh? Zhang Jin has also done it, and the action is fast enough!"

Uncle Ge glared at him: "You talk a lot!"

Zhang Jin's tears that he finally held back were flooded again in an instant: "I, I, I didn't finish it, I, I just made three or three questions, time, time-"

Jiang Shuiyuan was even more surprised: "Didn't you say six questions and nine hours?

"Intermission, can't you?" Uncle Ge was very annoyed by Jiang Shuiyuan's suspected deliberate appearance of the scar, "I haven't said anything about you! I used to drag it like 2580000 every day, I felt that the sky was the boss, the earth was the second, and I was the third, I didn't pay attention to anything, and I didn't do my job all day long, so I knew that I was running around and playing around." Why did you coax it when it was critical?"

There is no way, the gap of twenty-three minutes is clearly there, and the water source of this river has to be recognized. He smiled awkwardly: "What, there is still something going on in the workshop, if it's okay here, I'll go back first." ”

Uncle Ge said coldly: "We'll send you." ”

"No, no, it's right next to it, it's close. ”

"Let's send it away! I lost someone just now, and now I can't lose it a second time!"

It seems that Uncle Ge has a fire in his heart and a breath in his stomach, and he will explode if he pulls a few more times! I can't afford to provoke it, I can't afford to provoke it, so it's safer for me to chat with Xiao Jinzi.

Jiang Shuiyuan put his arm around Zhang Jin's shoulders and asked softly, "What questions did you make?"

"Question 1, 2, Question 4, and, 5. ”

The second question is relatively simple, and the fifth question is already the top three in the whole test paper, and as for the fourth question, Jiang Shuiyuan felt that he had found the reason why Zhang Jin only answered three questions: "Xiao Jinzi, you are too honest! The competition is not usually homework, you must first pick the simple ones that you can do, and let go of the difficult ones, after all, the time is limited." That's how you can get a high score!"

"I, I, I just pick, pick the simplest, I, I will do it first, do it first!"

The fourth question is simple? What kind of novel brain circuit is this? Jiang Shuiyuan is speechless.

The three teachers and students walked silently for a long time. When he was about to arrive at the school gate, Uncle Ge suddenly said: "Actually, your performance today is very good, I am very satisfied—— this is not to comfort you, but to tell the truth." First of all, most of today's test papers were issued by Mr. Shen, and I only came out with 1. That girl is his student, and she must know his idea of the question, and it is reasonable to answer the question so quickly. Jiang Shuiyuan was able to hand in the papers less than half an hour late, and Zhang Jin was able to complete three and a half questions within six hours, which can be regarded as outstanding. When it comes to the national finals, the topic is from the organizing committee, everyone is standing on the same starting line, you will definitely not be worse than that little girl!"

Jiang Shuiyuan and Zhang Jin glanced at each other.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Uncle Ge went on to explain: "And the difficulty of today's test paper is very great, not to mention the national finals, even compared with the most difficult in the past ten International Olympiads, it is not inferior." In addition, the little girl has been studying Olympiad mathematics since the first year of junior high school, and this year she is in her third year of high school. And what about you? I started my first year of high school, and I was my second year of high school this year. In other words, it took you a year and a half to catch up with the efforts of others in five and a half years. ”

Speaking of this, he stopped: "You should be proud that you can do this!"

Jiang Shuiyuan suddenly had a strange feeling: it turned out that Uncle Ge also had such a reasonable time!

"So, don't be disappointed, don't be discouraged, keep working hard and try to be a shame in the final of the Olympiad in a few days. Uncle Ge said.
