Chapter 318: Mathematical Problems

"Congratulations on starting the 'Zodiac Signs' challenge and start challenging the question bank for you randomly. Dididi, select the math question bank. Just answer the twelve math questions correctly and you'll be able to leave the maze!"

"Question 1, the two right-angled sides of a right-angled triangle are 3 and 4 long, respectively, so what is the length of the beveled sides?"

Illya, the green dragon maiden, fell into deep thought.

The right-angled side lengths are 3 and 4 respectively, so what is the hypotenuse length?

After a few moments, Illya clenched her right hand, and I knew what to do!

Her right index finger changed into a sharp blade, drawing a straight line with three scales on the solid stone floor of the labyrinth.

I measured a right angle with my gaze, drew a four-scale straight line, and then connected the other ends of the two line segments.

The truth was hidden in front of the great sixth-order transformation mage Illya, and she easily judged the length of this hypotenuse, and the answer was 5!

Illya stood up straight, folded her arms in front of her flat chest, snorted coldly, tilted her head slightly to the left, and then stretched out five stretched slender fingers and shook them gently, and said arrogantly: "I'm sorry to disappoint you! The answer is 5!"

At this moment, Sivi and Natalia were bathing in the steaming luxury bathroom of Violet Castle, and the scene of the ectopic maze was emerging in front of them.

Seeing this scene, Xiwei burst out laughing.

"Congratulations, you got it right!The second question, 1+2+3+......+99+100, how much is it?"

Illya is excited in her heart, don't underestimate my IQ, I'm also a high-level magician, my soul has jumped several times, and I'm a genius beautiful girl with super high intelligence!

1+2=3,3+3=6,6+4=10...... , 4950 + 100 = 5050, the answer is 5050!

It took a minute to mentally calculate the answer, and Illya smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, I've already figured it out, and the answer is 5050!"

The corners of Sivi's mouth grinned again.

"Huh, isn't that how it counts?" Natalia apparently noticed Syvi's expression and asked curiously, "I think she's pretty fast?"

Sivi touched Natalia's head comfortingly: "If you are interested, you can learn the textbook of Violet Academy - "Basic Mathematics". ”

Natalia's eyes widened: "What do you mean by that? I feel as if I have been insulted! No, "Basic Mathematics" is it, right? I have to study hard from today onwards!"

The challenge in the maze has progressed to the third question: "A merchant has a 40-pound weight that shatters into 4 pieces due to a fall to the ground. Later, the weight of each piece of fragment was measured in whole pounds, and these four pieces could be used to weigh any whole pound weight from 1 to 40 pounds. Q: How much do each of the four weight fragments weigh?"

Illya looked confused, what is this problem?

Isn't it just a broken weight? Isn't it possible to use it again after repairing the weight with "repair"? Even if you are a businessman who doesn't know how to do magic, you just throw it away, and you don't have to use it?

But it was clear that Illya's voice was not answered, so she could only helplessly use her fingers as a pen, the floor as paper, and began the calculation.

After a whole spell of the calculation, Illya finally came up with the answer: "The four pieces weigh 1, 3, 9, and 27!"

This time, Illya was finally less spirited, and she found that the math problems seemed to be getting harder and harder.

Illya's hunch soon became a reality, and the fourth question appeared: "In a certain city called Königsberg, there are seven bridges connecting the two islands in the river and the islands with the riverbank." Is it possible to start from any of these four landmasses, cross each bridge exactly once, and then return to the starting point?"

A map of the seven bridges is also attached below.

Illya tried to draw on it, but she couldn't do it by all means.

Two more magical hours had passed.

Illya finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted loudly, "Can't!"

This time, it took a moment for a mechanical voice to reply, "Congratulations on getting it right, but you have to attach the proof process!"

Illya is completely mad, she won't prove it at all!

Illya finally reluctantly tried to see what else was going on.

There are many questions that Illya can't read, and she can't start with the questions that she can read.

For example, this one: "Prove that when the integer n is greater than 2, there is no positive integer solution for the equation x^n+y^n=z^n for x,y,z." ”

For example, this one: "Can you use the math to prove that you only need four colors per map to ensure that every neighbor is a different color?"

Eventually, Illya let out the wail of a negative dog, and she had completely lost the idea of getting out of the maze by solving the puzzle, and sat quietly on the ground, waiting for the maze to end.

What happened to Illya is not known to outsiders, but Natalia is very happy to see this scene and at the same time has a little chill down her spine: "You magicians have to study these things every day?"

"Most mages don't need to!" Sivi pondered for a moment, "but if you want to become a great arcane master at the top, these are just the basics!"

"It's a good thing I didn't choose to become a magician, otherwise I'm afraid there would be no hope in my life!" Natalia was clearly in awe of the magician profession.

In fact, the intelligence of the mage has been greatly improved in the process of rising in rank and soul level.

For example, numeracy, memory, and thinking skills are all very important abilities for researchers.

Therefore, the mage naturally has the basis to become a researcher, and it is on this basis that the Arcanist develops his profession.

All the ineffable and unspeakable manifestations that belong to the realm of idealism are gradually analyzed into knowable theories and knowledge, which can be improved through learning, rather than simply relying on innate mental power, magic affinity and other conditions to determine the upper limit of future achievements.

Arcanist is a profession that creates infinite possibilities.

The first day of the Apprentice Spell Contest was undoubtedly a wonderful show for the new students, they found that even if they were still in the magic apprentice stage, they were already able to cast so many powerful and practical spells, and all kinds of strong zero ring spells were constantly developed by the instructors and students, although most of them were not very practical, but these strong zero ring spells condensed the light of wisdom of the teachers and students of Violet Academy!

And there are many excellent spells like "Gravitational Wind" that show a different style in Esmeralda's hands!

All the apprentices are very interested in the next day's Apprentice Spell Confrontation Competition, which is a competition between the top 32 and the top 16, and the seeded players who have byes in the first round will be entered!

However, the call for the title of the talented girl Esmeralda is still high, and she has won a large number of die-hard supporters with her excellent performance in the opening match! )
