Chapter 341: Answering the Empty Question Bank
Chapter 341
In 2010, Li He, a player from Huaguo, set a personal total score record of 1052 points.
At the moment, the closest thing to this record is 903 points, which was set by a Chinese girl in the competition last year.
Needless to say, the little girl who was known as the "little devil" by everyone did not participate in this year's World Speed Calculation Competition for unknown reasons.
and didn't even show up with the other two little girls who played brilliantly last year.
Then, the coaches of various countries realized that they had the only chance to beat the Chinese team...... Here it comes!
After nine years of waiting, they finally waited for this day.
So the night before the game, they each informed their players that they must perform well on the field tomorrow, give full play to 200% of their strength, defeat the Huaguo team, and justify their country's quick calculation strength!
Therefore, when the contestants began to enter in turn, they saw that the faces of the players with different skin colors were shining with excitement and high morale.
With the promotion of the World Abacus Mental Arithmetic Competition year by year, more and more countries and regions are participating in this competition.
This year, a total of 37 countries and regions participated.
The number of participants from each country is 10, so this year's total of 370 players will participate in this international event.
With so many players, one classroom will definitely not be able to accommodate it.
Therefore, the organizer will assign all the contestants to 5 large classrooms in a timely manner.
Cheng Nuo is the No. 3 professor, and there are two players in the same classroom as him in the Huaguo team, and the other one happens to be Anoyi.
"Big brother, come on!" Annoy clenched her little fists and cheered up.
"Well, Nuoyi has to come on, too!" Cheng Nuo nodded with a smile.
"Uncle Cheng, come on!" this is another ten-year-old boy.
Cheng Nuo gave the boy a brain, "Call brother!"
............
At ten o'clock, the game began.
Cheng Nuo tore open the file bag on the table, took out the test paper, lowered his head, and quickly answered the questions.
Although Cheng Nuo is very confident in his strength, after all, he hasn't taken it seriously for almost a year and a half, so it's better to do his best and leave no room for it.
After all, if you are compared to some of the players of the nephews and nieces, it will not look good on the face.
The 100 basic questions, since they are all called "basic questions", they must be the most basic questions.
The first question is just the simplest mixture of addition and subtraction:
【5117+2387-1475+3144-1225+......=?】
10 four-digit addition and subtraction mixed operations, just a simple glance, Cheng Nuo wrote down the answer on the test paper.
2557!
When writing the answer to the first question, Cheng Nuo's eyes began to sweep the second question.
This is a common reuse strategy for the current Chinese national team players.
After all, writing the answer is a brainless mechanical action that basically does not consume any brain power, so why not use this time to calculate the answer to the next question.
In this way, although one or two questions will not save much time, if this order of magnitude is placed in hundreds, the time saved is considerable.
But...... After trying one or two questions, Cheng Nuo gave up this practice.
Because, too slow!
Yes, it's too slow, such a strategy can't give full play to his strong strength in quick calculations.
Therefore, Cheng Nuo's body leaned back slightly, and he landed on the ten questions in the upper part of the left half of the page, and in his mind, the ten paragraphs of calculation were started at the same time.
【22178+58712-87100+84712......=?】
【11447*8752108=?】
............
【58711232*54712=?】
In an instant, Cheng Nuo got ten results.
Ten lines at a glance, this is really ten lines at a glance.
Other contestants are "eating what is in the bowl and thinking about what is in the pot", which is called a two-pronged approach.
Cheng Nuoke is very good, eating from the bowl and the pot and holding the pot from other people's pots, spending the same time as others, but calculating ten times the problems of others.
Fortunately, the answer needs to be handwritten after all, which is the only restriction of the rules on Cheng Nuo, otherwise he would have to take off directly.
Boom, boom!
For a hundred questions, Cheng Nuo can solve it in about a minute. If you can write the answer by hand, it will take a lot of time.
Cheng Nuo's hand speed is not slow, but it is not particularly fast.
So he was faced with a very painful thing - the speed of his hands could not keep up with the speed of his brain.
What should I do?
There are more than 100 sets of numbers, and it took Cheng Nuo more than seven minutes just to write.
In the eighth and a half minutes of the competition, Cheng Nuo suddenly got up from his seat, walked onto the podium, and under the surprised gaze of the black judge, submitted the answers to the basic questions and took away the first additional question paper.
Each additional paper contains 50 difficult questions, each worth one point.
Three minutes later, before the black judge could calm down, Cheng Nuo's figure reappeared, submitted the first additional question, and took the second one.
The next time is that Cheng Nuo keeps walking to the front to get the questions according to the three-minute speed of each additional question.
Every time the black judge saw Cheng Nuo come up, he felt a sudden burst in his heart.
Is this speed, Nima, human?
Again, Riske, a black judge, saw Cheng Nuo walk up to the podium.
Riske's heart was already a little numb, and he continued to stare at the newspaper in his hand as if he hadn't seen anything.
Suddenly, however, he heard the boy speak to himself, in English.
Cheng Nuo pointed to the podium and asked, "Hello, the topic...... It seems like there is no more!"
............
In an office on the top floor of the building where the competition was held, the president of the World Abacus Federation was drinking tea and chatting with coaches from several major countries, waiting for the end of the exam.
"Hong, I heard that the three little girls in your team didn't participate in this year's competition last year, why? Leondi, the president of the Abacus Mental Arithmetic Federation, asked with a smile.
Hong Zhong smiled faintly, "President Leondi, our team did have some problems this year, but I'm sure we will defend the title again this year!"
"Hehe, I hope the facts are as Coach Hong expected. Another black-skinned team leader spoke, but the smile on his face was very unkind, "However, I don't know if Coach Hong thinks that our opponents are too weak, so he sent a twenty-year-old player to lower your team's score." ”
"However, Coach Hong seems to underestimate us too much, you know, last year's second-place team was only about 50 points away from your Huaguo team. And your 20-year-old team member, I'm afraid I can only finish the basic questions!"
Coach Hong's expression remained unchanged, "What's the matter, it is precisely because I dare not underestimate the enemy that I asked Cheng Nuo to go out of the mountain!"
"Cheng Nuo?" muttered the black coach, "is that the name of the overage player?"
Knock knock~~!
While we were talking, there was a sharp knock on the door.
"Please come in!" exclaimed President Leondy, breathlessly.
The black judge panted and pushed the door in, shouting, "President, President, it's not good." Our question bank is empty!"
"That's empty!" said President Leondy, slamming the table to his feet, his eyes wide as if he had stopped at something unbelievable.
You know, in order to cope with this competition, he specially prepared an additional question bank composed of 1,000 questions.
Now someone tells themselves that the question bank is empty?!
You must know that the winner of the highest record in history, that is, Li He from Huaguo, only answered 587 additional questions and got an additional score of 552 points.
"Who answered the question bank?" President Leondy asked in a hurried tone.
Ricks replied, "That player's name is ...... Cheng Nuo!"
