Chapter 392: An Increasingly Strange Exam
The thousands of candidates in the examination room were separated by the formation, and they could not hear any voices from the outside world, nor could they clearly see the answers on other people's examination papers, but they could clearly feel each other's inner confusion and frustration.
The first question of the essay exam is about medicine and medicine.
Very few people can clearly see this, but at least most candidates know that they have planted it in the first question.
It's like you've obviously prepared enough and reviewed a lot of knowledge related to your own academic qualifications, but the last thing you have to take is the part you didn't review.
It's frustrating.
As Mu Xi and Tang Ji thought before, the literary examination of the joint entrance examination depends more on luck.
There are very few literati students who can choose the way of medicine in the first three positions, which also means that most of the people in the field today are unlucky.
In comparison, Su Wen was lucky, because his eighth rank was the medicine position.
But if only the medicine position is not enough, after all, the test question has been clearly stipulated at the end, and the answer needs to be written down under the treatment method of gold acupuncture, where is the position of the needle.
If you are a student who simply has a medical position, it is easy to answer acupuncture points closely related to the lungs, such as "Zhongfu", "Yunmen", "Tianfu", etc.
Even if you don't understand the way of medicine, if you have memorized something similar to the acupuncture point map of the human body before the test, you may answer it according to the prompts given by the question part.
But if they really use this as the answer and write it on the exam paper, they have just fallen into the trap set by the questioner!
Yes, it is indeed clearly written in the title that the demon Cangjie is suffering from lung disease. And judging from the prescriptions prescribed by Liao medicine, the three herbs are also good medicines for lung diseases.
If under normal circumstances. After taking this prescription, Cangjie should be cured. But his condition has worsened, why?
One of the main reasons is the four words at the beginning of the title: summer flower season!
Among the three flavors of medicinal materials, the last one is light herb, which depends on the season.
If taken in the summer, light borillus is not only not a good medicine, but a poisonous weed! At that time, it is equivalent to a runny root, which can cause stomach pain, diarrhea and other adverse symptoms. Let people be careful!
Speaking of which, in fact, the question part of this question also plays some word games, because in the end, the result given by the question is "unbearable day pain", but it is not clearly stated that Cangjie's symptoms are still the same as before, coughing up blood due to lung disease.
In fact, after taking Baiji and Mountain Root. Cangjie's lung disease should have been effectively suppressed, but the light grass that was out of season made it produce new patients.
That's why Su Wen said that the key to this question. It's not about medicine, it's about medicine!
In the end, the real symptom of Cangjie is no longer lung disease, but stomach cramps!
And for this patient. If you prick the acupuncture point with a gold needle, the area where the needle should really be applied. In fact, it is the "middle navel acupoint"!
Yes, that's the correct answer to this first question.
Su Wen smiled faintly. The pen dropped these three words on the exam paper, and then gently turned the next page.
The second question is similar to the first question in terms of type, it is also a short-answer question, and it is a comprehensive question, but this time the content of the school is much more secluded.
Because in the eyes of everyone, this question is a mathematical problem.
From a certain point of view, mathematics is not part of Wendao, perhaps it is the same as chess, it is about computing, and it is also in the scope of teaching in various colleges, but there are very few students who can really focus on mathematics to review.
With such a question, even An Qiye, who has a reputation for being unforgettable, can only stare dryly.
Because this question has nothing to do with memorization, but with calculations.
But after Su Wen read the question, he fell into thought, because if the answer to this question can be calculated through guò, it is obviously a very huge project, and it may be possible to use logic and ingenuity to answer it from another perspective.
In order to prove his guess, Su Wen carefully sorted out the main points of this question in his mind:
"Well, a hundred death row inmates from the Black Prison of the Holy Inquisition have been given a chance to survive because of the mercy of the Holy Heaven, and all of them are lined up according to their height, and they are put on their heads with a crown of gold or silver, and everyone does not know the color of their crown, but those who are behind can see the tiara of everyone in front of them.
After wearing the tiara, starting with the tallest person, each person in turn declares the color of their tiara, and if they answer correctly, they are pardoned for capital crimes, and if they answer incorrectly, they are executed on the spot.
In the case that the death row inmates have half a pillar of incense to discuss countermeasures, if the best countermeasures are adopted, how many people will be executed at most, and how many people will be executed at least?
By the way, there is also a restriction, after the start, each death row inmate is not allowed to give any hints to others except for the color of gold and silver. Well, let me think about ......"
If this is a mathematics question, then in the question section, there is a very crucial piece of information missing, that is, how many crowns are in gold and silver.
The only number mentioned is the total number of death row inmates, one hundred.
Other than that, a qiē is unknown.
Not to mention that Su Wen's mathematics in his previous life was not very good, even if he was a mathematical genius who won the first prize in the Olympiad in his previous life, he was probably a little blind in the face of this problem.
So as Su Wen expected, this is actually a logical problem in the guise of mathematics!
However, why is there such an irrelevant question in the 10-nation joint examination?
For the time being, Su Wen still couldn't figure it out, so he could only solve this problem first, and as for the rest, it was not something he could care about now.
"The key to this question should be that the 100 people are arranged according to their height, and the people in the back can see the color of the crown of everyone in front of them, and the execution starts from the back to the front......
After a moment, Su Wen thought of the first plan.
"If the 100 men are divided into 34 groups, starting in groups of three from back to front, and the last person is in a separate group, after the beginning, the tallest person will report the color according to the similarities and differences in the color of the first two crowns, if the first two crowns are the same color, they will report gold, if they are inconsistent, they will report silver. ”
In this way, the second person in the group of three can accurately report the color of his crown according to the color of the crown of the person in front of him, and the shortest third person can also combine the answers of the previous two to get the color of his crown. ”
"In this way, at least two-thirds of the 100 death row inmates will survive, and the rest will only depend on luck......
But after thinking of this answer, Su Wen didn't put pen to paper immediately, because in his opinion, at least sixty-six people survived, which seemed to be a bit less.
"What else is possible......
Su Wen frowned, his heart was a little heavy, you know, this is only the second question of the literary exam, he has spent so much time, if the next questions are so perverted, then I am afraid that it will not be able to finish answering after dark!
Taking a deep breath of cold air, Su Wen calmed down again, and a question suddenly came to mind in his heart.
"The first question in front of me is a question about medical skills on the surface, although there is a trap about medicine in it, but the answer to the final solution is indeed on the medical way. ”
"In this way, at first glance, this problem is related to mathematics, perhaps, it really needs to use some knowledge of mathematics?"
Thinking like this, Su Wen's eyes gradually lit up.
After a few moments, he finally found the key to solving the problem.
"I see. ”
Su Wen sighed lightly, then took the pen and wrote the final answer on the paper: At most one person!
In other words, according to Su Wen's assumption, there will be only one person at most who will be executed in the end, and if you are lucky, all the prisoners will be pardoned for capital crimes!
In fact, the strategy adopted by the prisoners is very simple, and it can be summed up in three words: odd and even!
"You can't go wrong this time, the tallest person chooses according to the color of the crown of the ninety-nine people in front of him, if the number of golden crowns is odd, then he will report gold, if the number of golden crowns is even, then he will report silver. ”
"In this way, the next person will be able to judge the color of their own crown based on the answer of the previous person, plus the odd and even numbers of each crown they can see!"
"But in this way, the remaining ninety-nine people will definitely be pardoned, and as for the tallest one, it can only rely on luck, and the chance of answering correctly or incorrectly is half of the time. ”
Thinking of this, Su Wen couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Isn't this too unfair to the person standing at the end?"
"Could it be that this question is actually trying to tell us that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility?
Su Wen couldn't get an answer to this, and when the ink on the paper dried slightly, Su Wen reached out and turned the next page.
You have to speed up the answers!
You must know that the state examination also has a time limit, and the total time for candidates to answer questions is only one and a half hours.
Su Wen spent a lot of time on the first two questions, and there were many students who gave up these two questions directly, and they were about to finish four or five questions, which undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Su Wen.
didn't have time to sigh and complain, so Su Wen hurriedly looked at the third question.
In comparison, this question seems to be much more decent, and the content of the school tested by the question has finally returned to the mainstream literature.
At least in the subject part, it's a poem.
But this poem is not simple, and even in Su Wen's opinion, it is quite shocking, not because he has read this poem before, and not because this poem is from the hand of Wang Yangming, a scholar of Patriotic University, but because this poem is a wise word for the world!
"The mountain is near the moon and the moon is far away, and the moon is small, so this mountain is larger than the moon. If a man's eyes are as big as the sky, let him see the mountains and the moon wider. This poem is from the "Moon Sheltering Mountain House" by the scholar of Yangming University, King Wei, please briefly analyze the meaning of the poem. (To be continued......)
