Chapter Ninety-Four: The Answer Is Incorrect
"How did you solve this problem? Can you tell everyone about it? Zuo Xiangcen Wenyi asked Miao Miao with a smile.
"It's easy! Let's assume that these chickens and rabbits are well trained, and then as soon as I whistle, they will all raise one leg, and ninety-four legs minus thirty-five, which means that there are still fifty-nine legs standing.
Whistle a little more, and lift one foot up, so that all the remaining legs are rabbits, and with the remaining fifty-nine legs, subtract one thirty-five, which means that there are still twenty-four legs in the cage standing.
These 24 legs are all rabbit legs, and each time the rabbit's legs have been lifted by two, so each rabbit still has two legs standing, and dividing twenty-four legs by two equals that there are twelve rabbits, and after subtracting twelve from thirty-five, all that remains is the number of chickens, and there are twenty-three. Miao Miao explained easily.
"Wow! Is this problem so easy to solve? ”
……
After listening to Miao Miao's explanation, many people nodded in understanding.
"There is such a simple solution to this problem, why can't I think of it." The third prince, Zhao Yan, thought with a disillusioned face.
"It's just the simplest solution, and there are many other algorithms, such as the second one." Miao Miao saw that so many people were showing surprised eyes, so she became excited, and said endlessly.
"There are other algorithms...... Zhao Yan, the third prince of Huchu Kingdom, had the idea of hitting the wall at this moment, and he was so angry that he was about to vomit three liters of blood.
"Suppose the thirty-five in the cage are just chickens, then the thirty-five chickens can only have seventy legs, with a total of ninety-four legs, minus seventy legs, which is equivalent to 24 legs, and the extra 24 legs are rabbits, because the 70 legs just now already contain two legs of each rabbit, so now the remaining twenty-four legs, divided by two, is equal to twelve rabbits, and then subtract twelve with the total number of thirty-five, which is equal to twenty-three chickens.
The third solution is the same, if the thirty-five in the cage are all rabbits, then there are one hundred and forty legs, and then the total number of ninety-four legs is subtracted, which is equal to forty-six legs, and the forty-six legs are divided by two legs per chicken, which is equal to twenty-three chickens, and the total number of thirty-five is subtracted by ....... ”
Miao Miao said two solutions in one breath, each of which dealt a heavy blow to the third prince, because the third prince Zhao Yan used the deduction method when he did this problem, which was the stupidest and most boring method.
"Now it's time for us to come up with the problem here in the Great Qin Kingdom, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has no opinion, right?" Zuo Xiangcen Wenyi said happily.
"Little girl, what can you do to stump the arithmetic problems of His Royal Highness the Third Prince?" Zuo Xiangcen Wenyi smiled and asked Miao Miao happily.
"It's not simple, in my opinion, His Royal Highness the Third Prince shouldn't be a very smart person, so let's come up with a simple arithmetic question to test him." Miao Miao said with a smile.
Cen Wenyi and the others heard that the black lines came out, can this little girl not be so damaged when she speaks? They are also the three princes of a country.
And the three princes and the envoys of the Huchu State were so angry that they vomited blood, but the competition was not over yet, if they answered the arithmetic questions from the Great Qin State, then this game about arithmetic would not be regarded as a loss, and their side still had a chance to turn defeat into victory.
"There is a rabbit in line, there are five people in front of it, and there are two people behind it than in front, how many people are in line?" Miao Miao said.
"Alas! This girl is really that, the question is so simple, I knew it was so, I really shouldn't have let her come up with this arithmetic problem. ”
The ministers of the Great Qin State couldn't help but regret it in their hearts, but at this time it was too late to regret it, and it was too late.
"It's still a kid after all!"
"I let Hu Chuguo pick up a big bargain for nothing"
"It's her who really succeeds, and she's also who loses."
There was a lot of talk in the crowd, and there was no hope at all, and anyone who had read the book could figure out this question.
The envoys of the Hu Chu Kingdom were also very surprised when they heard the question from the little girl opposite, this question was really too simple to be simple.
The third prince Zhao Yan was also ecstatic in his heart, but he couldn't figure it out in his heart, looking at the slap in the face of the female baby just now, he didn't expect that at such a critical time, he would actually fall to the side of their Huchu State.
"Five minus two and three, three people in the back, plus five people in front, plus those standing in line, a total of nine people in line."
Although the question is very simple, the answer should still be very clear, the third prince Zhao Yan thought to himself.
"Are you sure it's nine people in line? Do you want to change your answer? If you don't change your answer, that's your final answer. Miao Miao asked unhurriedly, and with a bright smile on her face.
The third prince Zhao Yan and the envoys looked at each other, this question is so simple and obvious, is it possible that there will be a second answer.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, the lower officials think that this little girl must be cheating us, if we really change to another answer, it must be a big mistake. Five plus three, plus the people in the line, it is true that there are nine people. It was the same envoy who brought up the text.
The third prince Zhao Yan regretted very much at this time, provoking this competition that should not have been, and now it seems that their chances of winning are really slim, but they will lose to each other at any time.
This loss to the other party was the price of 30 million taels of silver, and he could imagine how his father would look at her differently.
Even with the wealth of Hu Chu State, 30 million taels of silver is equivalent to one-third of Hu Chu's annual taxes.
"Nine people, the final answer of our Huchu Kingdom is nine people." The third prince, Zhao Yan, said affirmatively.
"Haha, that's really embarrassing, you answered this question incorrectly, it should be eight people." Miao Miao couldn't help but smile proudly and said.
"Why? The answer to this question should be nine people, why is it eight people? You have to give us a satisfactory answer. The third prince Zhao Yan said with some emotion.
The audience present and the monarchs and ministers of the Great Qin Kingdom also felt a little inexplicable and strange face to face.
On the contrary, it was some onlookers, they didn't have much culture, they only knew that it was the Great Qin State side that won, so they cheered enthusiastically.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, didn't you hear my question clearly? It's a rabbit in line, how can it be considered a person? So this answer can only be eight people. Miao Miao said with an unhurried smile.
