Chapter 669: The Pythagorean Theorem
Tuya and Wang Chun chased each other on horseback, and their archery skills were almost equal.
After shooting the ninth arrow, both sides hit the bull's-eye.
If the last shot is not biased, then the match will be a draw.
But as a man and a celebrity in Hangzhou, if he draws with a woman, he will inevitably laugh and be generous.
Wang Chun's tenth arrow preemptively struck, and the "Xiu" arrow actually shot through the bull's-eye!
Tuya had no choice but to shoot the arrow at the outer ring of the bull's-eye.
Wang Chun raised his bow and shouted: "I won!" ”
"Why did you win? You don't have an arrow on your bull's-eye, it's clear that Tuya has won! Liu Xinnan refuted.
"Snort...... Tens of thousands of eyes in the audience saw that my arrow hit the bull's-eye, but it was a little stronger and pierced the bull's-eye! ”
"This is clearly a despicable trick you played, deliberately shooting through the bull's-eye so that Tuya can't be centered! You still call yourself a gentleman, you are a despicable villain! ”
"Oh? If you can't afford to lose, you can't afford to lose, so why make excuses? If she is strong enough, she can shoot through the bull's-eye, but she doesn't have the ability! ”
"Shame on you!"
The two academies were arguing over this sudden episode.
The pressure inadvertently came to Liu Boyong's head.
"You don't have to quarrel anymore, Mr. Wang and Mrs. Tuya have superb archery skills, everyone can see that the bullseye was shot through, the biggest fault lies with me, I failed to prepare a stronger arrow target, so this ...... In my opinion, this first match is considered a draw, right? ”
Liu Boyong is also a smart person, and he also knows how to push the responsibility on himself. After all, he is the Yin of Lin'an Mansion, and both sides will buy him face.
"That's it, for the sake of you women, I'll be more generous, I won't worry about you too much, let's count it as a draw!" Wang Chun was ashamed of his words, and said ruthlessly: "But the next comparison is not accidental!" ”
Bah!
Everyone moved to Linjiang Pavilion.
The seats in the cabinet have already been prepared, Lingyin Academy is on the left, Xiaoxiang Academy is on the right, the former is headed by Cao Guojin, and the latter is headed by Shen Wenjun.
"Let me first talk about the rules of the second arithmetic competition, both sides come up with their own questions, if they can stump each other, they will win, if they can't, they will keep playing questions, each round of solving problems is half a stick of incense, and the two sides present can work together......"
After Liu Boyong stated the rules, he looked left and right and asked: "Then on both sides, who will come up with the question first?" ”
Anyway, they have to solve each other's questions, and whoever comes out first is the same, Shen Wenjun made a gesture of invitation to Cao Guojin, and motioned for him to come first.
Cao Guojin clapped his hands, and the two students walked into the lobby carrying a basket of peaches, and he said:
"As you can see, there is a basket of spring peaches here, there are two left in three three numbers, there are three left in five five numbers, and there are two left in seven seven numbers, may I ask, what is the number of spring peaches in this basket?"
"Sister, give me this opportunity!" Liu Xiang'er raised her hand first.
Shen Wenjun asked her in a low voice, "Are you sure?" Don't make jokes then. ”
"Don't worry, my brother-in-law taught me what to divide, and even an eight-year-old child can do this problem." Liu Xiang'er clutched her chest, confidently left her seat, and walked towards the lobby.
How difficult can this kind of remaining problem be, to put it bluntly, to find a common multiple, and you can't even use equations?
Liu Xiang'er held the lime, came to the board, and said while writing:
"Three or three is more than two, and seventy-seven is also two left, which means that the number of spring peaches in this basket is at least divisible by three and seven, according to the ninety-nine multiplication table, three seven is equal to twenty-one. If there is a difference of twenty-one by two, add two to this number, so that there are twenty-three spring peaches in the basket;
Looking at the second number in turn, five five is left with three, one five gets five, two five is ten, three hundred and fifty-five, four five twenty, and when the fifth is counted, there are exactly three left, so it is enough to prove that there are twenty-three spring peaches in this basket. ”
After speaking, he threw the plaster in his hand and looked at the Confucian students of Lingyin Academy: "How?" Am I right? ”
Zhongru's face was gloomy, and it seemed that he was right.
In order to show fairness, Liu Boyong poured out the spring peaches in the basket, counted them one by one in front of everyone, and counted them out to be twenty-three.
"This first question is just an appetizer, and it's nothing to answer, so please ask you to do it." Cao Guojin asked.
Shen Wenjun clapped his hands.
Two young men, each holding a porcelain urn, walked into the lobby.
"Since Fangcai Lingyin Academy has given us a number problem, then our Xiaoxiang Academy will also give you a number," Shen Wenjun pointed to the porcelain Weng and said: "There are a total of one hundred and seventy-six pearls in one green and one white urn here, if I take out fifteen of them from the green urn and put them in the white urn, then there are eight more in the green urn than the white urn at this moment, may I ask, how many pearls are there in each of these two porcelain urns?" ”
This is a complex problem of harmony and difference, and it is difficult to solve it in a short period of time if the thinking is not flexible enough.
"Lord Liu, what are you still doing in a daze? The incense can be lit. Song Che said softly.
Liu Boyong personally lit the half-burnt incense, and the disintegration timer began. The twenty Confucian scholars of Lingyin Academy lowered their heads and exchanged their pens, and they all showed nervous expressions.
Gradually, the incense has burned more than halfway.
Seeing that the student hadn't figured out the answer yet, Zeng Hou was impatient, and he beckoned to Liu Boyong: "Close the window quickly, the wind is blowing in!" ”
Does it work to close the windows? The brain is not good, don't say half a stick of incense, you can't count it for half a day.
At the last moment when the incense burned out.
"I've got it!" Some Confucian students excitedly shouted: "There are one hundred and seven pearls in the green urn, and sixty-nine in the white urn!" ”
The time has ended, even if it is wrong, there is no chance to correct it, Liu Boyong wants to order his subordinates to count the pearls, Shen Wenjun said bluntly:
"You don't have to count, he calculated correctly, the green urn is one hundred and seven, and the white urn is sixty-nine."
Hearing this, the Confucians of Lingyin Academy were relieved.
"Dean Cao, don't you let your students come and explain the ideas to us?" Shen Wenjun asked intentionally.
Cao Guojin glanced at the Confucian scholar who was the first to solve the problem, and the Confucian scholar walked to the question board and answered it endlessly.
Mo said that it was someone else, even Song Che was confused, no wonder they had to convert for so long, they didn't master the problem-solving skills at all, and they could come up with the correct answer, obviously there was an element of Meng in it.
"Okay, okay, with your level of teaching, can you teach students well? I'm afraid you can't even understand yourself as a teacher, right? Liu Xinnan removed the Confucian duck from the shelves.
Knowing that he couldn't explain clearly, the Confucian priest returned to his seat with a red face.
"Academician Cao, continue to solve the question." Shen Wenjun calmly gestured.
Cao Guojin stood up suddenly, walked to the fence of the attic, pointed to the top of the Linjiang Pavilion and said: "The next question is to measure the height of the Linjiang Pavilion, but it is required that during the measurement period, no ruler is allowed, nor can it be measured with equal bamboo poles and other objects. ”
"Aren't you a troublemaker? If you don't use a ruler to measure it, can you use your eyes to measure it? Who can measure this accurately? ”
"Yes, it's a good calculation, how can it be involved in measuring the height of the building, this is clearly a foul!"
Xiaoxiang Academy, many people are not convinced.
Cao Guojin said coldly: "My Lingyin Academy has a good reputation, how can I come up with an unsolvable problem to make things difficult for you?" If you really can't find the answer, you can just throw in the towel, and I'll announce the answer later. ”
"Husband, what do you think of this question?" Shen Wenjun asked Song Che for help with his eyes.
This competition is a contest between a boys' school and a girls' school, and even if Song Che has a way, it is not easy to interfere directly. He only said, "Think about it, I taught you last night." ”
Qin Ruo said: "Last night, the love lingered until midnight, who remembers what you taught?" ”
Song Che pursed his lips and thought about it, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he pinched Qin Ruo and Shen Wenjun's buttocks with his hands respectively, "This, do you understand?" ”
Shen Wenjun and Qin Ruo are both smart people, they glanced at each other with red faces, and spit out four words in unison:
"The Pythagorean theorem!"
