Chapter 151: Chickens and Rabbits in the Same Cage

In the entire hall, only Xiao Chenxuan will answer the question raised by Dong Ming, then, the final winner is naturally the Chu State Mission, no, in the entire banquet hall, except for the Chu State Mission, the other six countries have lost the opportunity to get the prize of the Western Zhou Ligui.

Since the Chu State Mission won, no matter what kind of hearts the Tianshun Empire and the Five Nations Mission have, everyone has to pretend to congratulate the Chu State Mission, of course, the main thing is to pretend to congratulate Xiao Chenxuan.

Got everyone's compliments, Xiao Chenxuan made a look like Lao Tzu was the best in the world, very sassy, back and forth like everyone kept arching in return, as if Lao Tzu was already powerful, and it was natural to win, only Dong Ming was alone, standing in place with a sad face and being lost, he was the first arithmetic master in the world, but today he was defeated by a young man of one or twenty years old twice in a row, and it was not very ironic, Dong Ming suddenly doubted whether he had been sitting in the well and watching the sky, and looked down on the world's capable people, After hesitating again and again, Dong Ming, who had been defeated for a long time, turned around and bowed to Emperor Tianshun and Yang Yong and said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although the Chu State Mission has won two consecutive questions, except for the Chu State Mission, the other six countries have lost the opportunity to win the prize of the Western Zhou Ligui, but the next question, if the Chu State Mission cannot answer it, the result will be the same, the prize will be withdrawn, after all! The premise of winning the prize of the Western Zhou Ligui is that you must answer all three questions correctly, otherwise...... Hehe! ”

Hearing Dong Ming's words, except for Xu Qingchen, who was also possible for the Chu State delegation to get Xiao Chenxuan's gift of the Western Zhou Ligui, the rest of the people in the banquet hall hoped that Xiao Chenxuan would not be able to answer the last question, so wouldn't there be no country in the Western Zhou Dynasty to get it!

Of course, in the entire banquet hall, the one who didn't want Xiao Chenxuan to answer the right question was Dong Ming, after all, he, the world's No. 1 arithmetic, lost three times in a row in a day, mainly because he lost to a young man in his twenties and twenties, the premise is that this young man was still a fool who had nothing to do a year ago, so it was still difficult to make Dong Ming accept this, thinking of this, Dong Ming respectfully gave a salute.

"King Ji, can you tell the old man if you will have such good luck in the future."

Hearing this, Xiao Chenxuan said with a smile: "Hey, this king said, you are a bad old man, you are really bad, and everyone has come up with an unsolvable problem!" Can you have a good conscience? In the face of everyone, you are really so calm, you can do it, next this king wants to see, you have any more difficult topics, I hope you don't let this king down again! ”

Hearing Xiao Chenxuan's words, Dong Ming didn't believe it, Xiao Chenxuan could answer again, and then Dong Ming said with a sneer.

"Okay, if you say anything superfluous, the old man won't say more! The last question, you can listen to the old man. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Chenxuan waved his hand, so what, I still don't believe it, a dignified science and engineering man in the 21st century will still be afraid, Xiao Chenxuan wants to tell Dong Ming, Lao Tzu is the crystallization of the wisdom of thousands of years of talented people, and I am afraid of you, an old horseman.

"Oh, is it? No matter what problems you have, this king will take it, and this king will not believe it, and you old horseman can stump this king. ”

Hearing Xiao Chenxuan's words, Dong Ming didn't answer Xiao Chenxuan's stubble at all, and said directly: "Today, there are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage, with thirty-eight heads on it and ninety-nine feet on it. ”

After Dong Ming finished speaking, he was full of smiles, and he didn't believe that Xiao Chenxuan could answer, because Dong Ming knew that a member of the royal family like Xiao Chenxuan was in the palace, in addition to studying the Four Books and Five Classics, that is, the emperor's mental art and the like, how could he have time to study arithmetic!

Chickens and rabbits in the same cage This is Dong Ming's third question, the topic can be described as very short, but the meaning is very clear, that is, "There are several chickens and rabbits in the same cage, counting from above, there are thirty-eight heads, counting from below, there are ninety-nine feet, ask how many chickens and rabbits are in the cage?"

Pheasant, isn't it a chicken! Hearing Dong Ming's words, Xiao Chenxuan of the science and engineering man really didn't react at first that Dong Ming's question turned out to be a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage, so at first Xiao Chenxuan didn't know what Dong Ming meant by the question, but this did not prevent Xiao Chenxuan from understanding the topic.

This is the problem of 'chickens and rabbits in the same cage'! Such a small question, for Xiao Chenxuan, naturally there is no difficulty. Xiao Chenxuan was only surprised by this question, in fact, he had also solved it in the modern society hundreds of thousands of years later! It's just that the topic at that time has been completely translated into modern Chinese, so when he first saw this question now, he didn't react for a while, he just felt a sense of déjà vu, but once he fully understood the meaning of the topic, he immediately woke up!

Because of this so-called "chickens and rabbits in the same cage" problem, it is too famous in history, but the specific solution method is not recorded in the book, and it must have been lost in the process of circulation.

Of course, chickens and rabbits in the same cage? Such a small question, for Xiao Xuanchen from the 21st century, there is naturally no difficulty, he has studied this problem in his first year, and he has done it countless times in large and small workbooks!

It's just that the chickens and rabbits in the same cage that he learned in his previous life were completely translated into the vernacular, so Xiao Chenxuan didn't react at the first time when he heard the ancient text.

The problem of "chickens and rabbits in the same cage" has been a very famous topic since ancient times, and in fact, the chickens and rabbits in the same cage came from the book "Sun Tzu's Algorithm", and this "Sun Tzu's Algorithm" was originally a compulsory course for talented people of various dynasties to study such a discipline as "arithmetic", but the level of arithmetic in this era is too low, and only arithmetic like Dong Ming can make some simple ones, so don't talk about those learners.

Because in "Sun Tzu's Algorithm", there are the most specific solutions, but some simple solutions seem to be lost in the process of circulation, and the existing solutions are slightly complicated, so the answer needs a lot of time.!

Of course, Dong Ming is also gambling, Xiao Chenxuan, who was born in the royal family, has not studied the strange book "Sun Tzu's Algorithm", so Xiao Chenxuan can't answer at all, thinking of this, Dong Ming looked at Xiao Chenxuan who was stunned in place and said with a smile.

"King Ji, what's wrong? If you're so smart, you shouldn't be unable to answer! Haha......"

Of course, Dong Ming naturally didn't know what Xiao Chenxuan was thinking, after all, Xiao Chenxuan wouldn't tell Dong Ming that Lao Tzu had crossed over, and for problems such as "chickens and rabbits in the same cage", primary school students in the 21st century would be right, right?

"Hehe, it's really yours, Master Dong!" When Xiao Chenxuan heard this, he suddenly cried and laughed a little! He was indeed a little dumbfounded just now, but he was not stumped, but when he was sighing at what level of Dong Ming was, is it really this level of the first arithmetic in Shenzhou? Isn't it too good to pay back your luck?

After all, the problem of "chickens and rabbits in the same cage" is not at all difficult for Xiao Chenxuan! Because this problem boils down to mathematical thinking, it is simply a simple one-dimensional quadratic equation.

And such a binary equation, even if the future generations of elementary school students are still in the sixth grade of elementary school...... "many people have already learned in advance, and like those junior high school students who have already learned the binary equation from the textbook, it is even more difficult to find it even more difficult."

Therefore, this problem of "chickens and rabbits" in the same cage, which is ultimately extremely complicated in this era, is simply a simple junior high school topic in later society, so Xiao Chenxuan naturally does not feel any pressure. But Dong Ming naturally wouldn't know this.

Seeing Xiao Chenxuan stunned in place, the banquet hall began to discuss.

"This King Ji, stunned for so long, won't he not calculate? Can't it be calculated?

"Huh? Look, look! That's the time to write! ”

"Oh, really! It seems that he still knows this question, 'Ya Rabbit is in the same cage, so it is really possible for the King of Chu to answer all three questions correctly! ”

"Oh? Is that really the case? But he put down his pen again,"

"Oh, this king, look, it's just 'dying and struggling'!" Not only was everyone in the banquet hall talking, but even the princes of several countries also participated.

"Haha, it's possible, it's possible!"

In the banquet hall, there are also some people who have watched "Sun Tzu's Algorithm", so in addition to Xiao Chenxuan, there are really people who know this "chicken and rabbit in the same cage" problem, but the calculation they know is too complicated to answer at all.

In the midst of their discussions, Xiao Chenxuan, who seemed to have been in a state of stunned, seemed to have lifted the brush and hesitated for a while, and then put down the pen on the paper and didn't know what to write, but then put it down again, but it caused a "surprise" from everyone present.

"Hey, I'm afraid Your Highness won't be able to answer!" Even Huang Qiushui, who was beside Xiao Chenxuan, began to wonder if Xiao Chenxuan would be really stupid and difficult to do.

And Xu Qingchen originally wanted to get the prize from Xiao Chenxuan, but seeing Xiao Chenxuan's performance, she was also completely desperate!

Because Xu Qingchen mistakenly thought it was at this time, Xiao Chenxuan was stunned in place for a long time, it must not have been solved, otherwise, he would not have lifted the brush and wrote so many words just now, and then put it down immediately.

Isn't the meaning already obvious? That is, he really wanted to solve this problem, but he was very helpless, and his ability was beyond his reach, so in the end, he could only give up, this was Xu Qingchen's idea.

At this moment, Dong Ming stood up again and said with excitement on his face: "Okay! King Ji, it's been half a stick of incense, if you really can't think of it, why don't you give up! Let's not delay everyone's time, you say, no! ”
