Chapter 123: You Must Be Cheating!
(ps: Ahem, I wrote three limerick poems for this math gentleman's meeting, and I feel good about myself...... )
......
After announcing the correct answer to the previous question, "One Thousand and Forty-Nine", Xin Lao recited the second question again:
Thousands of nine steamed buns, thousands of nine and five soldiers,
Two veterans, boasting of their art,
Three recruits, divided equally between two,
Old and new soldiers, how many are there?
When Su Yi heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she thought, "Hey, this is exploiting recruits!"
After hearing the question, the contestants in Jiang's heart buried their heads in calculations, and for a while, the digital smoke and the three-zhang ink shadow rose and complemented each other. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Yi also hurriedly entered the training ground, and said: "This question is also from a certain historical allusion, which means that there are only 1,900 steamed buns in the battalion, which is not enough to divide 1,950 soldiers equally, so the general came up with a way, that is, exploitation...... No, it is to set up a reward system, those with strong skills can get two steamed buns, and others can only eat two steamed buns for three people; although all of them were taken advantage of by veterans, this move not only solved the dispute over steamed buns, but also effectively stimulated the self-motivation of the recruits...... Uh, what do I want to do with so much digression?"
"This question is relatively simple, but if you use a stupid method to guess the number of veterans or recruits one by one, and then substitute it for calculation, I'm afraid it is not much simpler than Han Xin's soldiers, at this time, you need to use the column equation method: assume that the number of veterans is the unknown number 'A'......"
It only took more than twenty breaths for Su Yi to figure out the answer.
Exiting the training ground, the real time has only passed for about three breaths, and at this moment others are meditating and calculating the answers, even a few old gentlemen in the second realm of mathematics are no exception.
Su Yi smiled slightly, and immediately picked up the pen to write the answer.
Seeing this, the eyelids of the spectators on the shore jumped.
The corners of Zhou Caichen and Ding Ren's mouths twitched violently, and the uneasiness in their hearts surged majestically, like a lead cloud pressing down on the realm.
"It's only been three breaths, and Su Shiqiao has started to write the answer?"
"This question is a little easier than Han Xin's soldiers, but it shouldn't be so fast......"
"Could it be that Su Shichou happened to guess it?"
Everyone was suspicious.
But no one dares to assert that Su Yi scribbled and the answer must be wrong, and many people seem to have a hot pain on their faces after the lesson of the previous question.
"No, it's impossible! You Su Yi had already guessed the answer in her mouth by luck before, but this time, it is absolutely impossible, God will never favor you twice in a row!"
Zhou Caichen roared wildly in his heart, from beginning to end, he firmly believed that Su Yi was just a fluke.
Ding Ren gritted his teeth and cracked his eyes, as most of the rest of the audience, including him, felt.
Only Liu Xinzhao and the low-key middle-aged moon scar have other opinions.
They felt that although Su Yi had not reached the realm in mathematics, he might be a real innate god of arithmetic, and he might have really calculated the answer with his own strength!
In the nervous eyes of everyone, Su Yi quickly wrote the answer:
There were 450 veterans and 1,500 recruits.
When she put down the pen, suddenly, Su Yi felt several wills in the sky boiling, as if the entire space was trembling and trembling.
In an instant, Su Yi felt that her eyes were dark, and her mind came to a dark void.
In the endless deep darkness, several stars shone brightly, as if a few eyes were watching Su Yi.
Su Yi suddenly felt a great pressure in her heart, and she was curious, and thought: "It's these familiar breaths again, when I answered the first question before, they had already paid attention to me, and now that I answered the second question correctly, could they not sit still? They actually summoned me here...... Where is this?"
At this time, a majestic voice poured out from the leftmost star, reaching Su Yi's heart.
"What was the explanation for this question earlier?" the voice asked.
"Uh......"
Su Yi thought about it, he used the method of column equations when solving the steamed bun problem, so that he could quickly solve the answer; and the method of column equations was called "Tianyuan Technique" in ancient times, which first appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty in Li Zhi's "Measuring the Circle of the Sea Mirror", the idea originated from the three schools of Taoism, Ming, and Mo, and when Westerners proposed the method of column equations, it was three or four hundred years late.
Before this era, the "Zhou Ji Sutra", Liu Hui's "Island Sutra" and Zu Chongzhi's "Fixation" and other mathematical classics have not been able to concretely put forward the method of column equations, and although the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" has a written narrative method to establish this method, it lacks a clear concept and steps, so this method appeared for the first time in the Bingfeng Continent.
And Su Yi guessed in his heart that these wills should be a few mathematicians in the Martial Temple, and he should be very interested in being able to calculate the first two problems so quickly; if Su Yi casually said "lucky" to deal with it, I am afraid it would be difficult to prevaricate.
It seems to be a closed world here, and Su Yi feels that even if she says the method of the equation, it doesn't matter.
With the idea settled in her heart, Su Yi slowly and methodically analyzed the solution of the steamed bun problem, but replaced the unknown number "A" back to "Tianyuan One", and officially named the method of the column equation "Tianyuan Shu".
"Establish Tianyuan one as so-and-so", which means "set the unknown number A as so-and-so".
As a result, the Tian Yuan Technique was hundreds of years ahead of schedule and appeared on the Bingfeng Continent.
Su Yi said, the constellation in front of him trembled slightly, and countless faint silver lights shuttled back and forth among these stars, as if several sages were communicating something.
A moment later, a voice came from one of the stars: "Good!"
Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that her solution had been recognized.
But at this moment, another sage said, "You are young, how can you come up with the Tianyuan solution?"
Su Yi had already prepared her words.
"Don't hide it from the sages, I was exposed to this kind of problem in a number book when I was a child, and I thought that since I had to guess the final number before I could solve this kind of mathematical problem in turn, why not list an unknown final number at the beginning, and then substitute it into the equation for mutual exchange? With this idea, and several years of pondering, I finally perfected the Tianyuan technique this year, so that it can be presented to the sages, if there is a mistake, please blame. Su Yi bowed respectfully.
The voice outside the strings is saying: This Tianyuan technique is not a sudden inspiration, but the result of several years of pondering, which is very convincing.
"You have been smart since childhood, and you can be described as a great talent, and I hope that you will not waste your previous achievements, but seize the day, strive to create a precedent in mathematics and science, and climb to the position of 'Li Zong'!"
This sage's tone was extremely lofty, and he seemed to be happy to see a talented junior in mathematics like Su Yi.
But the corners of Su Yi's mouth twitched: he was just pre-canonized as Wenzong last night, what is this Lizong?
Does this mean that Su Yi is recognized as an all-rounder in the Bingfeng Continent?
In desperation, the scene in Su Yi's eyes turned again and returned to the heart of the river.
Time passed extremely slowly in that world, and when Su Yi came back to his senses, reality had almost only passed in the blink of an eye.
A few lines of sight in the sky were half gone, but there were still a few people who remained here, staring at Su Yi.
Then, Su Yi saw the answer sheet in front of her rise rapidly, accompanied by the exclamations of the audience behind her, it turned into a streamer again and entered the leaderboard.
Everyone looked up, and Su Yi's score on the ranking quickly rose, rising from fifty to one hundred.
After more than ten breaths, Fu Lao worked out the answer, and got 30 points, and was promoted from fourth to second, Wan Lao followed closely behind, with 20 points, tied for second with the former, and the old gentleman who was ranked second before submitted the answer much later and was squeezed into fourth place.
The old gentleman looked at the list, then at Su Yi's back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his fists were clenched.
In the second round of answers, Su Yi was the first again!
The audience was in a commotion and uproar.
"This, this time is also Su Shi's luck?"
"It shouldn't be possible, it's two ...... in a row."
"Could it be that Su Shiqi is really born with a god?"
"But I haven't heard of him before this. ”
"Su Xiaoyou's talent and potential seem to be inexhaustible, which is really terrifying. ”
"Terrible, I think it's a great luck for the Terrans!"
The audience talked a lot, and Zhou Caichen and his party all had bitter faces.
Ding Ren only felt that his breath was blocked in his chest, and his mood was extremely depressed, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Impossible! This can't be! Su Yi must be cheating! He must have known the answer in advance!" Ding Ren shouted and questioned, like a dog jumping off a wall.
Everyone sneered, and before they could refute, they heard a crisp sound, and Zhou Caichen directly fell on Ding Ren's face with a big-eared scraper.
I saw that Zhou Caichen's green muscles were exposed, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was difficult to see.
"I came up with the title, you blind idiot!" This sentence was almost squeezed out of Zhou Caichen's teeth.
Ding Ren was terrified, and he wanted to give himself two more slaps.
When the surrounding audience heard this, they burst into laughter, and even the middle-aged man with the moon scar couldn't help laughing.
Ding Ren's questioning seemed to slap everyone in the face of the organizer: saying that Su Yi and Zhou Caichen colluded and knew the answer in advance, does it mean that Zhou Caichen would like to give Zhujunyuan to Su Yi?
But looking at the previous mention of Zhujun Yuan to the ranks of the lottery heads, Zhou Caichen's painful expression was obviously unwilling to give it up.
"Zhou, Zhou Gongzi, I'm sorry, I don't know ......" Ding Ren said at a loss.
"Forget it, let's not take it as an example. Zhou Caichen flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.
The atmosphere between the Lord and the faction was extremely awkward.
These people dug countless pits for Su Yi in a row, and waited for the latter to jump into it, but after these two games, Su Yi faced the pit under his feet, stepped over in one step, and pushed them into the pit instead!
If the bet is lost, it is a trivial matter to lose the glory, but Zhou Caichen does not want to bear Zhou Xueshu's accusations and complaints.
But this is only secondary, the key is that Zhou Caichen was also detained in Zhujun Garden! )
