This year's Mathematics Olympiad Finals (Winter Camp) for middle school students was held in Chengdu No. 7 Middle School in Sichuan and Shu Province.

Like the Biology Olympiad, the exam is also divided into two days.

The only difference is that the finals of the Mathematics Olympiad are also called winter camps, but the Biology Olympiad will have a different name because it is a summer exam.

The CMO exam is conducted completely in imitation of IMO, and the difficulty of the questions is close to IMO.

The exam time is 8:00~12:30 every day, 3 questions a day, limited to four and a half hours to complete, each question is 21 points, and the total score of six questions in two days is 126 points.

The CMO also sets gold, silver and bronze medals, and the number of gold medals is a little more than that of CNBO, around 100.

According to the results of the winter camp, 60 people were selected to form a national training team, and then after the selection of the training team, 6 people were finally selected to enter the national team to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad.

The opening ceremony of the same process, the performance and speech of the same process.

If it weren't for the colder weather, Su Mu seemed to feel like he was back in the last Biological Olympiad.

Of course, the hotel and food I stayed in this time were much better than the last time.

And his roommate this time is Dai Binbin, because he chatted very well at Fan Ze's birthday party last time, and he is more familiar.

......

The leader of the mathematics national competition is called Sun Bo, about forty years old, wearing a small jacket, and his body looks very good.

Listening to several other people in the team, Sun Bo won the gold medal when he participated in the International Olympiad when he was young, and he was directly submitted to Qingbei.

Later, he studied for a doctorate, and also studied abroad for a period of time, and now serves as the leader of the Olympiad group in eastern Zhejiang Province, and personally led the team to fight this year.

"You don't have to be nervous, just calm down and do your best to take the test."

"At the beginning of today's exchange and study time, I would like to ask you a question, that is, why do you want to study Olympiad mathematics."

Sun Bo's strength is here.

So the participating students admired him very much.

Su Mu also went to Qiantang City to participate in a three-day training camp before, and he also sincerely recognized the strength of this coach.

There are many problems in Su Mu's thinking, and Sun Bo can give corrections to the point.

"Qin Yun, let's talk about it first."

Qin Yun is a relatively short boy who has liked mathematics since he was a child.

Because of some relationships, he is a direct student of Sun Bo, and he has known each other for a long time.

Therefore, Sun Bo wanted to enliven the atmosphere first.

Qin Yun nodded and stood up.

"You don't have to stand up, just sit and answer, everyone just chats casually."

Sun Bo said with a smile.

"I.... It's because I like math very much, and my usual math is too simple, and the Olympiad is more interesting. Probably because of his somewhat restrained personality, Qin Yun replied in a very small voice.

A few Olympiad students nodded in unison.

Usual mathematics is indeed too simple, and a 150-point test paper cannot measure the real level at all.

"And I think the Olympiad can improve logical thinking skills and problem-solving flexibility, anyway, I think it's quite interesting to learn."

Sun Bo nodded with satisfaction.

"Chen Ruoke, what about you? Why should you study Olympiad? ”

Chen Ruoke is the only girl among the 12 team members, and her results in the provincial semi-finals are also very good.

"I... I also like the Olympiad. ”

Chen Ruoke's confidence is a little lacking.

Sun Bo smiled, looked around, and asked, "Didn't you participate in the Olympiad for the sake of guaranteed places and self-bonus points?" If you have one, you can raise your hand. ”

No one responded for the time being.

Sun Bo laughed and joked in a self-deprecating manner: "Actually, when I first learned Olympiad mathematics, I also heard that the school had a guaranteed quota to learn it, but I didn't expect to learn it now." ”

"It's not a big deal, the Olympiad is originally a tool, some people like it, and some people just use it as a springboard." Hundred Flowers Literature

"I'm here to secure a spot." Dai Binbin was the first to raise his hand, he had always been honest.

For him, whether it is the college entrance examination or the Olympiad, it is a way to the result.

Immediately afterwards, several other classmates raised their hands, and Chen Ruoke gritted his teeth, with some hesitation in his eyes.

Sun Bo nodded with satisfaction again, and turned his head to look at Su Mu:

"What about you, Su Mu?"

"You're one of the smartest students I've ever met, and it's been rare for a student to take all five subjects at the same time over the years, and there's almost never been a student like you who has all done well."

"I know you're definitely not here because of the escort spot, you are already qualified for the Biology Olympiad."

Sun Botan asked with a smile.

During this period of contact, he was also observing all the students.

The rest of the candidates were fine.

But for Su Mu, he really couldn't see through.

With Su Mu's biological level, he could already be sent to two schools in Qingbei, but he was still seriously admitted to the mathematics provincial team.

If not really like.

Why waste this time.

So.

He wanted to hear Su Mu's answer.

The other students also looked at Su Mu, and they also maintained a deep curiosity about this "great god".

"Hmm...."

With so many people looking at him, Su Mu was a little hesitant, he couldn't say that he was for skill points.

"It's okay, you say it boldly, don't care about other people's eyes."

Sun Bo saw Su Mu's hesitation.

"I think everyone wants to hear what you're really thinking."

"Maybe it's because I'm a little bored, so I want to see if I can get the first place in all five major competitions." Su Mu gave a more reasonable answer.

After all, this is indeed his goal.

“。。。”

Sun Bo was stunned and smiled bitterly.

"Well, you're still pretty good at that.... Meets yours. ”

"Come on, strive to get a good result for our province this year!"

At first, he thought that Su Mu would also say something like the Olympiad, but he didn't expect that Su Mu's goal was to win the full prize in the five major competitions.

This goal has indeed been tried by many people, but so far, it has only been a gold or silver medal in some provincial competitions, and no one has achieved a full award.

Of the five major subjects, it is already difficult to learn one well, and it can be called a genius if you learn two well, but when this kind of words came out of Su Mu's mouth, Sun Bo felt that it was a little natural.

Dai Binbin's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at Su Mu, thinking about something in his mind.

The other students, some admired, and some shook their heads, feeling that Su Mu was still too arrogant.

"Back to the beginning." Sun Bo gathered his thoughts and said, "Why do you want to study Olympiad mathematics. ”

He stood up.

"Maybe each of you has your own reasons."

"A lot of people may not even study the Olympiad after this exam"

"But now, I want you to forget those reasons and devote yourself to this competition.

"Try to use one, for the sake of the Olympiad to learn the Olympiad, in order to be worthy of the encounter with mathematics, to return to the mathematics itself."

"Salute to the Olympiad."
