Chapter Seventy-Four: A Promising First Place

By the end of the paper, Leo finally understood why the other candidates were surprised. Because it is different from the test papers of the previous exams, this set of papers only has 100 questions, and at the end of all the questions, it is an open question, and one question occupies 10 points, which has never happened since the birth of the joint entrance examination!

Leo knows that the biggest feature of the so-called open-ended questions is that the conditions and conclusions have a large uncertain surname, that is, in the questions, one or all aspects of the conditions, conclusions or processes of the test questions do not give a single standard, waiting to be explored, providing candidates with space for independent exploration and innovative learning.

A mathematical problem usually consists of four parts, namely known conditions, the basis for solving the problem, the method of solving the problem, and the conclusion. If the four parts are complete, it is called a closed question, and if the four parts are not complete, it is called an open question.

After reading the question carefully, what surprised him even more was that this time the question of the joint entrance examination only had a plane coordinate system, on which two curves were drawn, and there were very few conditions in the question stem, but there were many questions given, using two methods to find the equation of the straight line through the intersection of the two curves, whether the two curves could find three points and draw a regular triangle, if you could give the center of gravity coordinates, if not, please give the reason.

"The opening process is too high...... It's a bit reluctant to just launch this kind of problem, and it's a bit reluctant to reach this kind of process. And it will be quite difficult to score. Leo thought to himself, and at the same time had some thoughts on the subject.

looked at the time, five minutes had passed, although the score of the last open question accounted for a high proportion, but after all, it was still a small head, and Leo did not have the habit of answering from the back to the front, so he turned the test paper back to the front, adjusted the situation, and worked hard to write.

Because he wanted to win the first place, and at the same time, he felt that his current real computing ability was already good, so he did not give up using the professor like he did in the last preliminary exam. After all. This auxiliary computing function is much better than the human brain in terms of speed and accuracy.

"Well, if only I could fully integrate the professor's consciousness with mine. Leo muttered secretly, and soon entered the answer mode, throwing all the miscellaneous thoughts out of his mind, and the whole person seemed to have entered a world surrounded by numbers and symbols.

When people are focused, time always flies.

By the time Leo had finished calculating the results of the hundredth question and checking it from the beginning, an hour and a half had passed. I have to admit that the exam at the Magicure headquarters is difficult. It's a step up from Kaiyan City, and there are more elevation questions. For this, he can understand that the top children in the country are concentrated here, and if the exam questions are not difficult, it is impossible to distinguish who is more powerful.

Glancing at the last open question, Leo immediately had an idea, performed the calculations on the scratch paper several times, and quickly deduced the equation of the straight line.

"Well, this is the method of using analytic geometry. But since two methods are required, the following one seems to need to be applied to differential geometry, will it be too difficult?" Leo pondered. He swept his surroundings slightly.

Since he took some time to check again, many children had already caught up and finished answering the previous questions, and they were also working on the last open question.

Watch them write from time to time. Thinking hard at times, Leo was settled. Although I am general in differential geometry, it is enough to solve this problem. While other candidates may have no problem applying analytic geometry, not necessarily a few people will be able to use differential geometry, after all, in a previous life, it was something that could only be learned in college.

"It seems that this question is the real elevation question, but it is simply for me, as long as I am careful, there are no mistakes, and the first place is very promising. A smile appeared on his face, and he stopped thinking about anything else, and continued to answer seriously.

When the invigilator prompted that there were ten minutes left in the exam, Leo looked at his test paper with satisfaction and secretly calculated: "There is one calculation question and two basic general knowledge questions that cannot be accurately obtained, and the others should be absolutely fine." Although I don't know how this open question will be scored, I can at least get more than 7 points, so I can get almost 55 points, plus 36 points in the comprehensive test, a total of 91 points, which should be enough. ”

............

The exam ended smoothly, and a large number of candidates were bitter, obviously very dissatisfied with their performance, but there were also some people who were so elated that Leo secretly wondered, could they all differentiate geometry?

Guessing that he was likely to be watched, Leo also pretended to be lost and followed the flow out of the Magi's headquarters.

Most of the children who can come to take the exam are not ordinary people, so naturally someone will come to pick them up, and at this moment, the square outside the magic council is densely packed with horse-drawn carriages. Leo looked to find the man Alice had sent to pick him up, but before he could notice, Ryan's deep voice sounded behind him, "Here." ”

"Ryan...... Sir, why are you?" Leo asked, somewhat surprised. Alice really values herself, and she even lined up a top master at the level of the Holy Domain to pick it up.

"Hehe, I happen to be idle, so I'll pick you up, the carriage is over there, come with me. Ryan said with a smile.

Looking at Lane Pu's ordinary back, except for the taller figure, there are no other characteristics, and it seems that it is difficult to find it again if it is thrown into the crowd. Leo smashed his mouth and said to himself, "How can you restrain your breath so well?" If it weren't for the terrifying coercion of the other party, it would be really hard for him to believe that Ryan would be a Sanctuary powerhouse.

Once he had entered a modest carriage, Leo was surprised for the second time. What he didn't expect at all was that Alice was also inside, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, why are you here too?"

Alice's beautiful eyes bent into a crescent moon and said, "Of course I care about you, how did you do in the exam?"

Leo replied truthfully: "It's okay, I'm more satisfied with myself, 90 points shouldn't be a big problem, but I don't know if I can ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Alice frowned and said, "90 points?" Are you sure?"

The other party's appearance, Leo's heart trembled, and he thought that something was wrong, so he hurriedly said: "I can basically be sure, what's wrong with you?"

Alice pursed her lips for a while before she smiled and said, "It's nothing, I want to sue you, if you can really get 90 points, the first place is basically in hand." ”

"I'm not sure how she ...... herself," Leo wondered, "Why do you say that?"

Alice took a deep breath, looked into Leo's eyes, and explained with some excitement: "Because the people who reached 90 points in the previous editions have won the first place in the end. The first place in the previous session was 90.5 points, the second place was 88 points, the first place in the previous session was 91 points, and the second place was only 86 points. ”

"So that's the case, there were no open questions in the previous sessions, and the results should be higher, and the hope of the first place is really great. Leo thought secretly, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said unashamedly: "Oh, then it seems that I am quite powerful." ”

Alice glanced at him, restrained her smile, and replied unceremoniously: "It's not amazing, I won't know until the results come out in ten days." Don't rejoice too soon. ”

"It doesn't matter how many places I have, as long as I can get into Revington, it's clear that you shouldn't be happy too early. Leo sneered, remembering the potential threat he was subjected to, and asked, "What ...... about that?"

"I'm dealing with it, don't worry. Alice responded lightly and changed the subject: "I'm tired after the morning of the exam, what do you want to eat later?"

Leo thought for a moment, regretted that he didn't eat a few things at the art rally, and asked, "Foie gras, is caviar okay?"

Alice was dumbfounded, "What's so delicious about those things?"

"Mostly I haven't eaten it. Leo smiled, "By the way, if it's okay in the afternoon, can you ask Mr. Ryan to teach me combat skills?" ”

"Of course you can, if Ryan wants to. With that, Alice patted the carriage and asked Ryan, "Hey, would you like to?" (to be continued......
