Chapter 401 Third Update

"Whole class please?"

"Does it include drinks, fruit plates, and snacks?"

"Monday to Friday, or weekends? Weekends are better because they have more time, but the price is a little higher. Is that okay with you?"

"Um... can we bring family members? Hehe."

“…”

Zou Hao was almost angry to tears.

Judging from the tone of these people, it seems like he is bound to lose!

no!

The tree lives on its skin: "On weekends, food and drinks are all included, and family members are not allowed!"

"Yeah! So handsome, little brother."

Zou Hao was patted on the shoulder and looked confused.

In a blink of an eye, a sophomore gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Well done! Our class is in need of a rich and generous guy like you."

Zou Hao: “…” I clearly said some harsh words, but why do I still feel so humble?

knock!

"Look, Jiang Fuyue has started writing—"

Someone shouted, and all eyes turned to the podium.

Yes, Jiang Fuyue started.

On the other side, Tan Jiaxu hadn't even taken off the cap of his pen, and he didn't even look at the questions. His dark eyes were staring straight at the whiteboard, as if he was in a daze, or in deep thought.

"Haozi, can you give me a commendation? It's already started over there!"

"Shut up! What's wrong with you? Are you trying to boost someone's morale? You know I usually take three to five minutes to write before I start to write when I encounter a difficult problem?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen him solve difficult problems in a long time. I almost forgot."

Zou Hao nodded and glanced at Jiang Fuyue. Suddenly, he felt uneasy: "Holy shit! How can she write so fast?!"

In just a few minutes, densely packed numbers and formulas have covered half of the whiteboard.

"Damn..." Others also noticed it.

"Didn't you say this question was difficult?" Then why did she write so fast?

"It's very difficult... It hasn't been proven globally yet..."

"It's over, it's over."

"I noticed she didn't even seem to use scratch paper."

"Is this true?"

"If you don't believe me, just look at it. Once you write the formula and plug in the numbers, you'll get the answer right away."

“Really…”

The sophomore in the front row suddenly turned around and looked at them with a grin: "Now you know how many eyes the Horse King has, right?"

“…”

Senior: "Sister Yue never uses scratch paper when doing her homework. A quick glance at it is more accurate than a calculator."

"……"Grass!

At this moment, Tan Jiaxu, who had been in a daze, also started writing.

He moved very quickly, as if he already had the steps in his mind and was just writing them down.

"Haozi! It's started! It's started!"

Zou Hao thought to himself, "Nice!" He immediately responded with a provocative look, "Our commendation isn't bad either. Let's see who has the last laugh."

Far from being annoyed, the senior student actually shook his head with regret. This little brat still needs a beating from society...

Zou Hao: “?” If you want to quarrel, just quarrel. Why are you shaking your head?

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Fuyue put the cap back on the pen and said casually, "I'm fine."

The whole audience was stunned.

Tan Jiaxu paused his hand, which was writing furiously, and then continued in silence.

Ling Xuan stepped forward, and even though he was prepared, he was still surprised.

Too fast.

In her eyes, there seems to be no difference in difficulty between questions. The only difference may be the length of time it takes to solve them.

There seems to never be any confusion or bewilderment on her face, and she is always resolute and brave.

Mount Everest can be measured, but no one knows where the ceiling of Jiang Fuyue's thinking is.

At that moment, Ling Xuan seemed to see the gap between the two of them——

It's not a chasm, but a natural barrier.

Thinking about her relationship with her father...

Ling Xuan's eyes dimmed.

With three minutes left, Tan Jiaxu stopped and said, "That's enough."

Next, it’s time to judge right from wrong.

Since this question is a proof question, there is no need to solve it. As long as the process steps are logically consistent and the conclusion can be proved in the end, it can be considered a solution.

Ling Xuan: "Now everyone is a referee. As long as you find any logical loophole in the two people's steps, the proof process can be directly judged as incorrect. Twenty minutes, the timer begins."

Everyone was stunned, stunned——

"Huh? Let's find it?"

"Can I say I didn't even understand the question..."

"You are not alone."

"This is a new problem. I can't find a standard answer on any major math website. This is the only way I can do it. Is there any other better method?"

"Luckily this is a proof question. If it were a solution, who the hell would know the correct answer?"

The wailing sounds continued, but there were also many people who remained calm, such as Ling Xuan.

He had started thinking about this question after seeing it in a magazine two days ago. He already had a general idea in his mind, so it was effortless for him to follow the two people's steps.

For example, Chen Cheng.

This scene is not unfamiliar to the older generation of Olympiad class members.

Because a similar thing happened when Jiang Fuyue first entered this class, but the person who challenged her at that time was Ling Xuan.

Chen Cheng was the only one who stood up in the "Jiang Ling battle" and pointed out Ling Xuan's logical fallacy.

Now, history repeats itself. Ling Xuan becomes the question setter and referee, and the challenger is replaced by a newly promoted junior. Only Jiang Fuyue remains the unwavering opponent.

Thinking of this, Chen Cheng couldn't help laughing.

He is no longer the boy whose cheeks would turn red when he stood up and spoke.

As soon as the topic was announced, he took out a piece of scratch paper and started working on it.

Although I haven’t reached the final step, I’m not far off.

He spent eight minutes reading Jiang Fuyue's proof steps. His thinking was clear and his logic was rigorous. The whole process was quite smooth and the method was simple.

Then he read Tan Jiaxu's, but this time it took him a full eighteen minutes, and there were still a few steps in the middle that he didn't fully understand.

However, the final conclusion is correct.

Based on this alone, he knew who was better between the two.

Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Ling Xuan: "Time's up. If you have any ideas, please stand up and speak."

Everyone looked at each other, but no one stood up.

Ling Xuan changed the question: "Do you all understand?"

“…” He remained silent, feeling guilty and short of breath.

The reality is that most people don’t even understand the few words in the title.

"I am not worthy."

"Maybe the math Olympiad I'm learning is not the same as what Sister Yue and the others are learning?"

"I understand Jiang Fuyue's process, but Tan Jiaxu's... I'm a little confused."

“…”

Seeing that everyone only dared to whisper below but did not dare to stand up and speak, Ling Xuan finally had to turn his gaze to Chen Cheng.

This guy is a master of logic. Maybe he is not the best in calculation and solution in the class, but his logical rigor is definitely the highest.

"Okay, then I'll tell you something." Chen Cheng slowly stood up under everyone's gaze.

"Overall, I can understand Jiang's steps at a glance, and they flow smoothly. Although Tan's approach in the first part is different, it's essentially similar to Jiang's method. Both are proof by contradiction, so there's not much difference..."

"So both of them are right?" someone replied impatiently.

"That was Sister Yue's win, more than ten minutes earlier than Tan Jiaxu!"

"Yeah, competing with Sister Yue in hand speed is really stubborn."

“…”

Chen Cheng ignored the surrounding noises and continued, "But the disagreement arose in the proof of the lemma. To prove Lemma 1, Jiang nested Lemma 2 and discussed the proof in two different cases. Tan, on the other hand, used the inequality theorem to try to prove Lemma 1 completely. Although the conclusion was finally reached and was correct, a does not apply to arbitrary positive real numbers. As for why this happened, I'm sorry, I haven't figured it out yet."

Ling Xuan nodded. His thoughts were similar to Chen Cheng's.

Jiang Fuyue is right, there is no doubt about that, because the logical chain is so perfect, one link after another.

But to say that it is wrong to praise him... is not entirely true.

Because they really didn't find out which step the problem occurred.

Then we can only...

"Why don't you try exchanging?" Ling Xuan suggested to the two.

Jiang Fuyue shrugged: "I don't care."

Tan Jiaxu's mouth tightened slightly: "Okay."

The two exchanged positions.

Five minutes later, without waiting for Jiang Fuyue to point out his mistake, Tan Jiaxu said, "I lost."

The whole place was silent for a moment, and then——

"Sister Yue is awesome!"

"What is the undefeated myth? This is it."

"I win, I win the bet!"

"Junior brother, you are such a great help in building my dream. I would like to thank you in advance!"

"When are you going? Remember to inform the group about the time. I'm the group manager and can help you @ everyone."

"Also, I want the biggest fruit plate with cherries."

“…”

Zou Hao: “?”

"Why, are you feeling bad? I'm willing to accept the loss."

Zou Hao raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "I don't feel bad, not at all."

Wallet: It hurts! Weight loss warning!

At this time, Ling Xuan looked at Jiang Fuyue and suggested, "How about you share your ideas with everyone?"
