Hey, hey, hey!

Brothers, three bowls of wine!

Brothers, two cups of tea!

............

Cheng Nuogao sat in everyone's seats, looking at his 99 "little brothers", and instantly felt a heroic spirit.

He felt like Song Jiang in the timely rain in the Water Margin, and the four big characters were written on the flag flying high outside: the strongest brain!

Then he picked up the wine bowl and shouted loudly: "Come, dry this bowl of aunt's blood, we will be brothers in the future!"

That scene, tsk......

............

After more than half an hour of recording, the announcement of the rankings has finally ended.

Cheng Nuo also had a general understanding of the situation of the 100 players.

University students are the main group, with a total of 65 people.

Among them, there are 12 from Tsinghua University and 15 from Peking University. The remaining 38 are also from top universities at home or abroad.

There are 24 high school students, including Cheng Nuo.

There are 5 middle school students.

There are 6 elementary school students.

What Cheng Nuo didn't expect was that the number of primary school students was even more than the number of middle school students.

Sure enough, we post-00s are all old!

Now it is the world of the post-10s.

............

Cheng Nuo, He Youjun, and Li Lingxiao sat at the top in a big man's posture.

The remaining ninety-seven people looked at the three people in the high place with an unconvinced expression.

Boom, Boom, let you Dash first.

When the top 30 are re-ranked, I don't believe you will be able to sit on top of it.

"Good. Now that you know your ranking, get ready and we'll move on to the first challenge!"

"In this round, 30 players will be eliminated. ”

"What exactly is your challenge? Look at the big screen!"

On the big screen in front of everyone, the items and their rules for the first round of challenges are displayed.

"Blind Sudoku!"

Sudoku is a game that everyone often plays to exercise their brain power. The rule is to make each row, each column, and the number in each square contain 1~9 according to the known numbers.

The strongest brain program group has upgraded the 9*9 Sudoku that we often play, and it has become the first level challenge for the contestants.

First of all, the upgrade lies in the size of Sudoku.

Usually the size of Sudoku we play is generally 9*9, but this time the program team directly upgraded its size to 16*16.

And then there's the second upgrade: blind filling!

After the player memorizes the initial number given in the square, the number in the square will disappear.

Moreover, during the contestant's answer, the entire 16*16 square is completely unnumbered. Even if you have entered the number before, it will not be displayed in the box.

In other words, if a player makes a mistake in remembering one place, it will cause ...... Lose all the games!

In the third upgrade, players need to fill in 256 squares, not only the numbers of 1~14, but also 14 colors.

Numbers and colors don't correspond one-to-one.

In other words, players need to complete two separate sets of Sudoku questions with blind filling!

It's more than twice as hard as just filling in the numbers.

The six-digit ability radar chart of the blind Sudoku item: 3.85 points for reasoning, 3.65 points for calculation, 1.24 points for observation, 3.98 points for memory, 1.57 points for creativity, and 1.42 points for spatial ability.

"Everyone, are you ready?" Mr. Jiang said to everyone in a serious voice, "I need to remind you that you only have one chance to challenge. Failure means leaving the stage. Even if there are less than 70 successful runners, only those who succeed will advance to the next round. ”

Mr. Jiang's meaning is obvious: failure in the challenge means elimination! There is no room for maneuver.

The knockout system is so cruel.

Everyone nodded in unison, and then the staff led them into a closed room.

In the room, a hundred tables are neatly arranged. There is a serial number of 1~100 on it.

On every table, there is an ipaid.

There is no humanity in the trenches!

One hundred people sat in their respective seats according to the initial ranking. Follow the prompts broadcast in the room to open iPay on your desktop.

Cheng Nuo was the first to sit against the wall, behind him was He Youjun, who was ranked second, and then Li Lingxiao, who was ranked third.

“...... After memorizing, press the 'Start' button at the bottom of the screen to enter the blind filling mode. When you're done, press the 'OK' button and you're done!"

After the specific operation is played, a number with a countdown of ten seconds appears on everyone's ipay screen.

In this level, everyone has the same question, so there is no question of luck or anything like that.

...... 3！2！1！

Everyone's screen flashed, and a 16*16 grid appeared.

Of the 256 squares, 24 squares are already filled with numbers, and 24 squares are filled with colors.

Seeing this situation, Cheng Nuo couldn't help frowning.

The strongest brain is this undermount...... It's really ruthless!

For 16*16 Sudoku, the number 24 has its own special meaning.

If the number of numbers given by the condition is less than 24, it means that there is more than one correct way to fill in this Sudoku. It will be more selective to do.

There are more than 24 conditional numbers given, and although the correct answer is unique, it will be easy to do due to the increase in conditional numbers.

But just give 24 hint numbers, this is the most difficult way to solve the problem in 16*16 specification Sudoku, there is no one!

Cheng Nuo smiled faintly and quickly memorized the known numbers and colors given on the screen.

Again, it's not too simple to convert colors into numbers.

Number: 8, Position coordinates: (12, 8)

Nume: 2, Position coordinates: (3,6)

............

Color: White, Position Coordinates: (12,3)

............

There are a total of 48 sets of data, and Cheng Nuo has memorized them all in less than five seconds.

When I pressed the "Start" button, the screen flashed suddenly, and sure enough, all the numbers and colors on the screen disappeared. All that remains is a 16x16 square drawn with black and white lines.

In an area on the right side of the screen, there are 1~14 numbers, as well as 14 colors such as red, orange and yellow.

Cheng Nuo clicks on one of the 256 squares, and then clicks on a number on the right, which means that Cheng Nuo fills in the number he clicked on the square.

In fact, there are many ways to fill in Sudoku, and Cheng Nuo chose the relative probability method that suits him best.

With the amount of computation in your own brain, the computational strength of this method is not a problem at all.

As for memory......

With Cheng Nuo's sensitivity to numbers, there is no need to worry about forgetting the numbers after filling them in.

Cheng Nuo didn't know what the strength of the other players was, so he soared his hand speed to fly.

One number and one color were filled in the box by Cheng Nuo one after another.

On the other side, He Youjun, who was sitting behind Cheng Nuo, had just finished memorizing the positions of the 48 numbers and colors in the square, moving his fingers, and was about to start filling in blindly, when he suddenly heard the sound of a chair moving in front of him.

He Youjun looked up with doubts in his eyes, and saw Cheng Nuo, who was sitting in front of him, standing up slowly and easily.

Seeing He Youjun looking up at him, Cheng Nuo showed a kind smile and made a gesture of cheering, "Come on!"

At this moment, a voice announcement was heard from the radio in the room.

"The first place in the blind filling Sudoku project was produced, Cheng Nuo, with a time of 1 minute and 58 seconds!"

"The first place in the blind filling Sudoku project was produced, Cheng Nuo, with a time of 1 minute and 58 seconds!"

......

The voice was played three times in a row. Everyone in the room could hear clearly.

He Youjun looked at Cheng Nuo, who was gesturing to himself: "......"
