Chapter 440: Answer
Who is this person who dares to come forward at this time? ”
The onlookers looked at Zhou Xuan, who was dressed in tattered clothes, and immediately discussed.
You must know that several celebrities have broken their halberds one after another, and even Zhao Xiaogongzi, who has always been domineering, is deflated, which shows that this question is either really difficult, or someone deliberately uses fake answers to make fun of everyone, and looking at the situation just now, the person who asked the question can't even provoke Zhao Cheng.
No matter what kind of situation, circumference is equivalent to being roasted on the fire, if you can't answer it, it is tantamount to self-inflicted humiliation, if you answer it, you will be hated by those previous celebrities, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Seeing this, the few students who were familiar with the bachelor surnamed Chen gloated and said, "Brother Chen, your former classmate is really stunned." ”
The bachelor surnamed Chen laughed and said: "This is fun, everyone just watch the show." ”
In fact, it's not just him, since Zhao Cheng fled in disgrace, most of the onlookers have no hope that someone can answer this question, and the rest is the mentality of watching a good show.
The old master who was in charge of answering the question couldn't bear to be laughed at by everyone, and asked cautiously: "Zhou Xuan, this question is extremely difficult, you have to think clearly, don't be strong." ”
Zhou Xuan bowed deeply to the old master and said: "Master rest assured, I have always been obsessed with arithmetic, even if I can't answer it, it's good to see what the question is." ”
The old master could not persuade him, so he sighed and put a new topic in front of him.
Zhou Xuan looked down and saw that the manuscript paper wrote: "There is a lonely tomb in the West Sea, and the epitaph says: The old man walks between heaven and earth all his life, one-sixth of the time is a child, and one-twelfth of the time has a beard and a clear will."
The old man had no children for a seventh of the time after the church, until the eldest son was born five years later, but it is a pity that this son is blessed, and the life span is only half of the old man, after the death of the eldest son, the old man was grief-stricken, and died four years later.
Ask the old man how long is his life, how old is he to visit the church, how old is to have a child, and how old is to lose a child? ”
The moment he saw the problem, Zhou Xuan immediately knew why many celebrities were stumped by this question.
This question does not seem to have a complete number in the whole text, and those who are literary beginners will never look at this question from an arithmetic point of view, but with logical reasoning.
But in this case, it is necessary to have very strict logic and a lot of fine calculations.
If it's just that, this question may not be difficult, but the person who wrote the question first put forward a gambling contract, and then this question out of the school, anyone who wants to answer the question must first be tempted by fame and fortune, and then by the attention of the public, the mood is difficult to be peaceful, and it is very easy to make logical errors or calculation errors.
This is the general trend created by the careful layout of the questioner!
Thinking like this, Zhou Xuan was slightly surprised in his heart.
But he didn't know that this problem was actually from the epitaph of the ancient Greek mathematician Diao Fandu in another world, and it would be extremely difficult to solve without the concept of an equation.
Fortunately, in the past few years of calculating a large number of pi, Zhou Xuan has gradually figured out the preliminary method of the equation, which will see the deep meaning of this problem at a glance.
Zhou Xuan sat in a chair, picked up a pen, and carefully began to write on the manuscript paper.
When everyone saw this scene, they were immediately shocked, you must know that many celebrities and scholars did not even survive to the stage of lifting the pen and quickly lost the battle, but they did not expect this poor sour to be able to calculate so calmly.
In fact, this is also the result of the abnormal development of this world, Zhu Zhen's birth directly brought this world into the feudal era, but he was born in the Ming Dynasty, which emphasized literature and light reason, and when this world was written at will according to his will, it was doomed to lame development from the beginning, and arithmetic was pitiful.
"Brother Chen, looking at his appearance, he seems to have an idea?"
A bachelor asked the bachelor surnamed Chen in disbelief.
The bachelor surnamed Chen felt a void in his heart, but he still sneered on his face: "It's just pretending, don't worry." ”
Whether Zhou Xuan was pretending or not, it inevitably aroused a burst of curiosity from everyone, and they craned their necks to look at him.
As soon as he arrived in the field of arithmetic, Zhou Xuan immediately entered the realm of looking at me, not paying any attention to the crowd around him, only writing and drawing on the manuscript paper with a pen.
"Suppose the life span of the person is one, then the life span is one-sixth, the bearded one-twelfth is one-twelve, the absence of a child after the worship is one-seventh, and the firstborn birth is five.
The firstborn son lived only half of his life, one half, and the son lived four years after his death.
Then one life expectancy is equal to one-sixth plus one-twelfth, plus one-seventh, plus five, plus one-half, plus four. ”
Writing this, Zhou Xuan took out another piece of manuscript paper, and quickly calculated on it, only half a pillar of incense, he smiled slightly, picked up the pen and continued to write on the previous manuscript paper: "His life expectancy is equal to eighty-four.
Therefore, he lived for eighty-four years, visited the church at the age of twenty-one, had a son at the age of thirty-eight, and died at the age of eighty! ”
"It's done!"
After checking the calculation results and feeling that there were no mistakes, Zhou Xuan laughed, lifted the manuscript paper and dried the ink, and handed it to the old master with both hands, which took less than a pillar of incense.
When everyone saw that he answered so quickly, there was an uproar, and even the old master was stunned for a long time before reaching out to take the manuscript paper, and said in a deep voice: "You wait a while, I'll ask the person who wrote the question to verify!" ”
Zhou Xuan nodded slightly, without the slightest hint of nervousness, just like Zhao Cheng, quite confident in his answer.
"Brother Chen, this ......"
Seeing Zhou Xuan's appearance, the previous bachelor immediately looked at the bachelor surnamed Chen.
The bachelor's face changed slightly, but there was still luck in his heart, and he said coldly: "Don't talk, you are all optimistic, have you forgotten about the matter of Zhao Xiaogongzi?" ”
Everyone in the audience held their breath at this time, staring at the curtain of the back hall, and no one could believe that even a question that could not be answered by a famous person would be answered by a poor man with no name.
However, if there is a question, there must be a solution, and everyone hopes that someone can answer the question of the mysterious questioner, otherwise the students and celebrities in Beijing will be disgraced.
Everyone was tormented by such ambivalence and waited for the final result.
It's obviously just a few breaths, but it makes people feel extremely long, and finally, the old master came out of the back hall!
He held a silver ticket, trotted all the way, and as soon as he came out, he said with a look of surprise: "Congratulations Zhou Xuan, you answered correctly, you really answered correctly!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers were stunned for a while, and then immediately burst into cheers.
"How so, how so?"
The bachelor surnamed Chen grew up, looked at Zhou Xuan in disbelief, and kept muttering to himself.
Zhou Xuan was also a little dazed at this time, until the old master stuffed the silver ticket of one thousand taels into his hand, and then he reacted, and his heart suddenly burst into surprise.
At this moment, his attention immediately flew back to the pi of his heart, and with this silver ticket, he could devote himself to the study of arithmetic, and at least for a few years he would not have to ask about the world again.
He wanted to rush home immediately with the silver ticket, but just when he wanted to leave, he was stopped by the old master.
"Zhou Gong is slow!"
Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment, isn't the person who made the question want to regret it? Subconsciously clenched his pockets.
A group of onlookers also thought similarly to him, frowning and looking at the old master.
The old master smiled: "It's not what you think, the questioner said that you answered the simplest question, so you are qualified to answer the next question, this time the bet is about 10,000 taels!" ”
"Hiss......"
There was a sudden gasp from everyone.
How good is it to give 10,000 taels for the correct answer? You must know that most people can't earn so much money in their lifetime, and many students are even annoyed that they didn't have good students to study arithmetic at the beginning and missed this opportunity to make a fortune.
And the bachelor surnamed Chen, who introduced Zhou Xuan to answer the question, was even more iron-blue, staring at Zhou Xuan with gloomy eyes, if he really got 10,000 taels, he would immediately turn over, and his only sense of superiority would disappear.
However, just when everyone sighed about Zhou Xuan's good luck, Zhou Xuan himself was extremely impatient, in addition to being concerned about pi, he was also quite disgusted with the method of constantly pestering the questioner.
The previous question is definitely not simple, otherwise it would not have stumped so many celebrities, but the person who wrote the question not only tried his best to belittle the question, but also used a lot of money to show off, always reflecting his high status, what is the difference between this and those who give themselves white eyes?
Over the years, in order to study arithmetic, Zhou Xuan has been looked down upon many times, and the anger in his heart has finally reached its peak under the coaxing of a group of onlookers.
No one expected that Zhou Xuan would say something earth-shattering in front of everyone.
"As the saying goes, it's not rude, since the person who asked the question has already recognized the qualifications below, why don't you answer the next question? I also want to see if she is qualified enough to continue answering the questions again! ”
No one thought that a submissive poor acid would suddenly explode, and when he said this incomparable sentence of the mad king, they were immediately dumbfounded, and even the old master was stunned.
