There is no best-of-three games that I imagined. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Although Zhang Tong is a little arrogant, until now, he doesn't know Luo Yan's catties. In order to ensure that the boat does not capsize in the gutter, it is very wise not to say the words of two wins in three games.

Therefore, the rules of this competition have become mutual questions. No matter which side you are, if you can't answer three questions, but the side that has a clear solution and answer to the question, you will lose. It's simple and straightforward, but it's very violent. If both of them are evenly matched, this will be a protracted battle.

However, the crowd of onlookers was very happy to see such a competition.

It's so boring to win two out of three games, and you can finish the competition in less than half an hour when you meet an expert. There is nothing important to do at this time of year anyway, if you don't come to see the excitement, do you want to go home and have monkeys with your wife?

After this rule came out of Luo Yan and Zhang Tong's mouths, there was a burst of cheers at the gate of the state school. Such excited shouts made Luo Yan think that it was which Oiran had arrived. Or maybe they just said that whoever loses should take off their clothes. In a stunned mind, Luo Yan beckoned the students to place the tables on both sides of the door.

Raising his hand, he motioned for Zhang Tong to sit in front of the desk, and then asked, "Do you come first, or do I go first?" ”

originally thought that Zhang Tong would choose the order of the question, but who knew that this person would say something when he opened his mouth, which made the onlookers even more excited.

"Wait, we just talked about the rules of the competition, and we haven't talked about the bets yet. Before the question, should I make this matter clear? ”

Suddenly the sky was boiling. The crowd seemed to have exploded and began to cheer.

"Dr. Luo, tell me quickly, what if you lose?"

"yes, how can we forget about bets."

"Just wait for this, Dr. Luo will tell me quickly, what should I do if I lose?"

The persecution made Luo Yan depressed. I can be regarded as conscientious in Jinzhou, how do you look at it, but it looks like I have done something angry and resentful. But think about it, I've been smooth sailing, but I haven't done much to please people after all. Therefore, it is understandable to be run on like this. However, although I am relieved a lot, there are still some entanglements.

"If I lose, I'll never get involved in counting again. At the same time, he declared to the four seas, you Zhang Tong is everywhere, and I, Luo Yan, will be in charge. ”

It's a big bet. Although some people who don't understand the mystery are still confused, more people are a little anxious at the moment: "Dr. Luo, we're just joking, there's no need to block it so big." ”

Of course, there were some people in the crowd who didn't understand, and quietly asked, "This is a big bet?" ”

"Dude, you don't know if you don't read. The first thing is inconsequential, of course, but the second thing is insignificant. Although Dr. Luo is down now, how can he be? He was a guest in the Taiji Palace, and he was also a handsome man in the Literature Museum. Now if you lose, you will be in that hand, for a person who only knows how to count, it is a great boast. ”

"Yes, think about it, Luo Yan is in the limelight now, if someone convinces him, it will be like stepping on his shoulder."

Ignoring the discussion in the crowd, Zhang Tong's face was a little ugly at the moment.

Luo Yan's meaning, he naturally knows. Originally, I also wanted to compete with Luo Yan and get some benefits. Unexpectedly, Luo Yan not only gave him such a benefit, but also gave him a very big one, so big that he felt a little unbearable.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, and if you resign, it will be a sign of weakness.

After a thousand turns in his heart, Zhang Tong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since you dare to do this, I will also sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman." If I lose, I'll be your teacher from now on. ”

This one is even more direct and brutal, and even the words of the apprentice came out.

As soon as Zhang's voice fell, the crowd that was still chattering suddenly quieted down.

Many people looked at Zhang Tong with wide eyes and disbelief. I heard it right, I actually said that I wanted to worship Luo Yan as a teacher. This is not a joke, apprenticeship, apprenticeship, this is to worship Luo Yan as a teacher. The important thing is said three times, young people nowadays are too good at playing. Looking at the looks of the two, this Luo Yan and Zhang Tong are about the same age, and they dare to say anything about apprenticeship.

Even Luo Yan himself was a little shocked.

This pass is too open-minded, isn't it? Can this kind of thing be used as a child's play for gambling?

"Brother Zhang, do you want to think about this matter. You and I are about the same age, and this apprenticeship is really a bit unacceptable. Even if I agreed, would your family agree to do so? Luo Yan thought about it again and again, but asked Zhang Tong cautiously. Although he was a little blind to the arrogance of the young man in front of him, and the other party was still running for himself. But Luo Yan was 100% sure that he could win, so he said Fang Cai's bet, but this pass was all based on his will.

In fact, Zhang Tong regretted it before he said it. But in front of the public, it was too late to change their words. What's more, the bet given by the other party is also large enough, if you don't make the corresponding bet, it will be a little too much.

When Luo Yan asked, Zhang Tong thought about it, but shook his head and said, "No need for this, if you can win, I can worship you as a teacher." No hassle at all. ”

It's not that Zhang Tongtuo is big, thinking that he can't lose. On the contrary, he began to feel a little uneasy at this moment. But the reason why he can be so open-minded is that the ancestral training of the Zhang family is very special.

Although the science of mathematics is very useful in the world, the dynasties that have experienced it are all classified into the category of hundred craftsmen, and their status is only slightly higher than that of other craftsmen.

The ancestors of the Zhang family have experienced all kinds of things, so that he knows that this study of mathematics cannot be done behind closed doors. Therefore, although it is a family, it also encourages excellent children to learn from the current arithmetic. Fresh blood and an open mind, this is the fundamental reason why their Zhang family has gone through these hundreds of years and finally became a family.

And Zhang Tong also thought about it. If Luo Yan can win himself, with his self-taught ability, it is worth learning from himself. Although it is indeed a bit embarrassing to worship his peers, on the other hand, Luo Yan's identity is destined to bring him a lot of benefits. If you don't go against the ancestral teachings, it's good for yourself, and it doesn't matter if you lose some face.

Of course, Luo Yan didn't know what Zhang Tong was thinking, but when he heard Zhang Tong say this at this moment, he was a little impressed by this young man. Not only is it hot, but it can also afford to lose.

Since Zhang Tong had already said so, Luo Yan no longer objected, nodded, and said, "Since that's the case, then you can come up with the question first." ”

Anyway, the test is on both sides, Zhang Tong also knew that this was not cheap, and he didn't say much, so he tested Luo Yan: "Today, there is a round wood with a diameter of two feet and five inches, and I want to be a square plate, so that the thickness is seven inches, ask the geometry of the width?" ”

Luo Yan was amused when he heard it, this kid was obviously testing himself, isn't this kind of topic exactly the problem in the new book of mathematics and calculations released a few years ago, "The Book of Ancient Calculations". Thinking about it, Luo Yan opened his mouth and said the answer: "Two feet and four inches." The technique says: Let the diameter of two feet and five inches multiply, multiply and subtract by seven inches, and divide the rest of the prescription, that is, wide. ”

After Zhang Tong finished speaking, it was only less than half a moment after Luo Yan finished answering, and the speed of answering such questions has surprised many people. Accustomed to the kind of competition where thinking about it is several teas, seeing Luo Yan and Zhang Tong so fast at this moment, the onlookers were actually a little incredulous.

"Are they really talking about arithmetic? How do you feel that you are talking about children's calculations, don't you have to think about it? ”

Although he couldn't get a glimpse of the whole picture, seeing the speed of Luo Yan's answers, Zhang Tong couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, you answered this question correctly." Now it's your turn. ”

Knowing that the other party was testing his own level, this topic would not be difficult, so Luo Yan was embarrassed to pull out the problem as soon as he came up, so he replied: "One hundred steamed buns and one hundred monks, and the three monks are even more indisputable." There are three small monks, and how many small monks are there? ”

Among the onlookers, they also laughed when they heard Luo Yan put the title so poetically. Many people shouted before Zhang Tong began to think: "I said Dr. Luo, this is a test arithmetic, not a poem, you better pack up and get back to the topic." That made many people laugh out loud again. However, seeing that Zhang Tong was frowning at this time, he deliberately suppressed his laughter.

Looking up, Zhang Tong was a little indignant and asked, "Your Excellency, is this looking down on people?" Such a simple question, what do you want me to say? ”

But it's this question, although the form is a little newer, but the inner form is actually the problem of the hundred chickens of his ancestors. And what's even more odious is that Luo Yan also simplified this question, and with one less condition, this question is very simple.

If the problem of the hundred chickens is a system of ternary indefinite equations, then the problem of the hundred monks dividing the bun is nothing more than a binary equation. Needless to say, there is a difference. There is already a very detailed solution to the binary equation in the "Ancient Arithmetic", and it is not easier to apply the method at this moment.

"It's just a matter of courtesy. You just tempted me, and if I had a problem in the first round, wouldn't it be too lewd? ”

There is no way, Luo Yan said it in a high-sounding manner, and Zhang Tong could only helplessly say the answer, and at the same time also said the algorithm for the onlookers to judge. Naturally, Zhang Tong would not go wrong with such a simple question, so he soon ushered in Luo Yan's nod of approval.

After the answer was confirmed, Zhang Tong took a breath and said, "Since you and I have each given up for a round, let's start the formal school examination." My topic is the Hundred Chickens Problem of the Ancestors, which requires not only an answer, but also a solution that everyone can understand. ”

As soon as the words fell, some knowledgeable people in the crowd exclaimed: "What's the matter, after all these years, the Zhang family finally has a way to solve the problem of 100 chickens?" ”

It turned out that Zhang Qiujian himself raised the question and gave the answer, but this was all done through many years of non-stop calculations. The real solution has not yet emerged. At this moment, since Zhang Tong asked, according to the rules of the competition, it is obvious that he has a reasonable solution in his heart.

For a while, the crowd fell into a new round of noise. (To be continued.) )
