Chapter Twenty-Nine: Speak Ahead of the Game

When the audience heard that there could be such a reward, they immediately burst into warm applause, and the event staff picked up the prompt card in their hands after the applause was over: "Let me talk about the rules of this competition, because of the large number of people who signed up this time, so we will be divided into two groups of AB to face off, and the winning group can get a beautiful gift no matter when it is eliminated." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 The first round provides a set of three-digit addition and subtraction test questions on the spot, the top eight in each group with the shortest time can advance to the next round, and the group with the shortest overall time gets one point; the second round is a time-limited answer, and a set of four-digit addition and subtraction questions are provided on the spot, and the top five players who complete more questions in each group within three minutes can advance to participate in the next round, and the group with the most overall answers gets one point; the third round is the three-digit multiplication free answer, which is asked on the spot, and each player will be awarded one point for success, and one point will be deducted for failure, and the answer will be ranked according to the score at the end of the question。 The group with the highest sum of points is the winner's group. Do you get it?"

In fact, having said so much, everyone learns mental arithmetic, and the teacher usually talks about this, so naturally there is no problem. It's the parents below who are in the pit, "Why didn't she understand the rules she just said, what did she say?"

"You don't care about it, the sooner you can, the better. ”

Some parents shouted directly: "Little girl, can you read it again?" ”

The activity staff replied with a smile: "Uncle, you have time to spare, readers don't have the time to read the repeated things again, we can't make up the number of words." Then he interacted with the contestants: "Now in Group A on my left, Group B on my right, now let me interview the players on both sides, this player, what is your name?"

"Chen Cheng"

"You look like you're confident, do you think you can win?"

"Required"

"Okay, our players in Group A are very confident, so let's interview the players in Group B, this student who is so conspicuous in the crowd seems to be in high school, I don't know which school you are from?"

Tong Yang was stunned, why did he come to interview himself, is it because I stand out from the crowd?

"I'm from No. 1 Middle School"

"It's actually a middle school, then you must be very good at mental arithmetic, do you have the confidence to win the other side?"

"I haven't learned mental arithmetic, but I believe I can win"

"This player is very confident, it seems that both sides are very strong, so let's hurry up and start the game. The first round of questions is now in everyone's hands, don't open the cover now, please listen to the password and start answering. Three, two, at the beginning!"

Hearing that all the people began to move, and some people began to write the answers as soon as they opened the cover, Tong Yang was not in a hurry, and slowly opened the test questions step by step, and his eyes were full of arithmetic questions. In fact, you can calculate it according to your own level, but the speed and accuracy are far worse than those of these mental arithmetic guys. Let's leave all this to the calculator, Tong Yang, who started the calculator, feels that the whole person has become a whole with it. When you see the test questions, you will have the answer in your mind immediately, as long as you keep writing down the answers.

The people below can't see the progress of the competition above, and only when the event staff comes back to inspect can they see how the players are performing. There are those who stand in place and just calculate a few questions, and there are those who work hard to write and keep calculating, and most of them are still the same as Tong Yang, writing answers directly at a fast speed.

Soon, a few people completed the test questions, and the activity staff also pinched the table in time, including Tong Yang, which is not to say that he is unhappy, but that this thing wants to behave a little more normally, basically he wrote the last question after others answered. After a while, there were eight people on both sides to complete, and the event staff stepped forward to announce: "In addition to the requirement of the shortest time in the first round, there is also a requirement for accuracy, and the time taken to answer a question incorrectly is increased by four seconds, and if the answer exceeds 40%, it will be eliminated directly, and now we will begin to count the correct rate of the contestants." ”

Everyone is waiting for the results, and the efficiency of these staff members is also very fast, except for one of the top eight who completed the two groups in advance because of a mistake and was replaced by another person, the others are normal and smoothly enter the next round. The competition between the two groups also ended with Group A beating Group B by a narrow margin of time. However, there is one thing that needs to be said, everyone's accuracy rate is quite high, and there are not a few people who answer all correctly, so Tong Yang just made the people below interested, but not too much attention.

The first round of the competition has ignited the atmosphere of the scene a little, and there are more onlookers in the second round, seeing Tong Yang advance to the next round, Tong Jianjun is also relieved, it is not too embarrassing, he was not eliminated in the first round, I don't know if Tong Yang knew that his father thought so, he would have abandoned the game directly.

The second round is a limited time to answer questions, the organizer provides enough test questions, the answer time is two minutes, the last Tong Yang was in Group B because of a little difference in points did not win, this time Tong Yang decided to make a little effort, to pull back the failed game, as soon as the password of the activity staff 321 was counted, Tong Yang began to answer quickly, almost without thinking, just write directly with the numbers of the calculator in the brain. Although the other players also answered faster, they still couldn't keep up with Tong Yang's speed. The cheers from the audience continued, the tips of the contestants above were flying, and the time of two minutes was fleeting, Tong Yang looked at the people around him, some of them were still on the first page, and after thinking about it, it was better not to be too ruthless, it was a bit of a bully. Tong Yang's excellent performance has long attracted the attention of the activity staff, according to the amount of his answers and time, there is almost no time to count, and it is not so fast to write directly.

When it was time to announce the results, the event staff in charge of hosting said excitedly: " There are many very good people in this competition, their mental arithmetic speed has been incredibly fast, I can't believe it, especially this student from Anyang No. 1 Middle School, very powerful, according to the amount of his answers, almost all of them are answered in seconds, I even have to think that when he wrote the answer to this question, the answer to the next question has been calculated, but I don't know how correct this is. Now that our staff is checking it, let's wait and see how it goes. ”

This time the calculation work is a little slow, after all, everyone's answer is different, fortunately, the results have been out soon, Tong Yang's group B defeated group A by a large margin, after all, Tong Yang himself answered the equivalent of two people's questions, and it was expected to win. It stands to reason that this kind of competition that only competes for brain power is not particularly attractive, but this kind of mental arithmetic competition with answers in seconds is still quite shocking, and the enthusiasm of the parents below is getting higher and higher.

There are only five people in each group who can advance to the next round, but there is no doubt that these people are masters of mental arithmetic, except for Tong Yang, of course. But Tong Yang's performance still made his parents very happy, and they cheered him on one by one. It's the crucial third round, and this first child is determined to win, so he is ready to stop leaving behind, and go all out to answer.

"Okay, the players who have advanced have also come out, and our AB two groups have also become a draw, and then we have to look at this last game, this one not only has to decide which group can win, but also will determine the final ranking according to the points, the last game is to rush to answer, remember to grab a point for a mistake, and deduct a point for a mistake, and then our staff will take the question card. Because everyone's mental arithmetic is very powerful, I can rush to answer when I finish reading the question, and I can answer it by default when I shout the answer directly, and when I answer, I can just say the number directly at the end, are you ready?"

The contestants all responded in unison, "Ready!"
