Chapter 139
The news of a man-woman battle spread quickly, and almost everyone gathered around.
Ye Tianqi said, "For fairness, let's find someone to be the referee."
Ye Jingyue nodded, "No problem."
"I'll do it."
The Ninth Prince stood up.
The Ninth Prince had a smile on his face, and his eyes fell on Ye Jingyue and Ye Tianqi.
"How about I be the referee?"
Ye Jingyue spread her hands, "I have no objection."
Ye Tianqi also said he had no objection.
After everyone took their seats, both sides drew lots to decide who would ask the first question.
Ye Jingyue and Ye Tianqi were representatives.
Ye Tianqi drew the red lot.
He asked the first question.
"The Tenth Analects of Confucius."
Lin Shishi: "Zi Gong asked, "Is there a word that can be practiced for a lifetime?" Confucius said, "It is forgiveness! Do not impose on others what you do not want others to do to you. "
The Ninth Prince smiled: "Team Ye Jingyue, one point." Ye
Tianqi's question was obviously a joke. Anyone with some literary knowledge knows the Analects
of Confucius. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he deliberately gave Ye Jingyue the first question.
Ye Jingyue smiled.
[I won't give in if you give in, it's my turn next.]
Ye Jingyue looked at Ye Tianqi and said with a smile: "Chickens and rabbits are locked in the same cage. Counting from the top, there are 35 heads, and counting from the bottom, there are 94 legs. The question is, how many chickens and rabbits are there?"
When Ye Jingyue asked the question, everyone was stunned.
Ye Tianqi's face also looked a little ugly.
Most of the ancient people studied literature and poetry, and did not learn much arithmetic.
Ye Jingyue's question is not difficult, but it is not simple either.
But the question has been asked, so they can only bury their heads and answer it.
Ye Yunyao and Lin Shishi also started to calculate on the side.
Ye Jingyue said that she did not give in to Ye Tianqi, but she had already given in.
The 35 heads represent the total number of chickens and rabbits, which is 35.
Rabbits have four legs.
Chickens have two legs.
Ancient people’s thinking was relatively slow, and they could only count one by one.
Fortunately, there was an abacus, and they could fiddle with it.
Ye Tianqi was already sweating profusely while calculating.
Ye Yunyao and Lin Shishi also had a hard time calculating.
Ye Jingyue smiled and said to them, "This question is actually very simple. I will teach you."
"Suppose the number of chickens is stars and the number of rabbits is moons, then the stars plus the moons equal 35."
"Chickens have two legs, so 2 stars plus 4 moons equal 94."
"Substitute it into the calculation, and you get stars equal 23 and moons equal 12. Do you understand?"
Ye Yunyao and Lin Shishi listened to Ye Jingyue's hypothesis, and then put it into the calculation, and instantly calculated the correct answer.
There was no need to count one by one.
They all looked at Ye Jingyue in surprise.
"Yue'er, your algorithm is too easy. How did you do it? It's amazing!"
The Ninth Prince was sitting in the middle. He was listening to Ye Jingyue's calculations and solved it instantly.
Her method was indeed fast and simple.
Ye Tianqi and the other three put it in one by one, and finally calculated the correct answer.
"There are 23 chickens and 12 rabbits."
The Ninth Prince said: "One point for Ye Tianqi's team. "
Ye Jingyue smiled and said to Ye Tianqi: "The number I gave you is quite small. What if my total is 350,000? When do you plan to stop counting?"
Ye Tianqi: ...
If it is 350,000, there is no need to compete today.
He can count for a whole day.
Although he knew that the victory was not fair, he still won.
"Anyway, we have calculated it. "
Ye Jingyue smiled.
"I'm just reminding you. This is only the first question, and it's already so strenuous. What will you do with the next question?"
Ye Jingyue's words made Ye Tianqi a little flustered.
Ye Jingyue was right. This is only the first question, and it's already so strenuous. What
about the next question?
So now he can't play around anymore. He has to face Ye Jingyue. The next question will be difficult.
He discussed with Qin Sen and Zhang Jianyu for a while, and Ye Tianqi said confidently.
"For the second question, I'll give you a couplet to answer. "
Ye Tianqi took a pen and wrote directly.
After he finished writing, he hung it on the wall.
"Okay, you are right, right?"
"I am a Russian, riding a strange horse, holding a long bow, and I am one of the eight kings of the zither, se and pipa. The king is above all else, and a single sword is enough to make a battle!" As
soon as this couplet came out, the crowd gasped.
This couplet was written by the first and last queen twenty years ago. No one has been able to match it so far, and it is still hanging in Tianxiang Tower!
As long as you can match this couplet, you can eat for free in Tianxiang Tower for the rest of your life.
Ye Yunyao and Lin Shishi held Ye Jingyue's hand and no longer had any feelings for Ye Tianqi.
"Yue'er, it's so difficult to match this couplet. "
Ye Yunyao and Lin Shishi both claim to be talented women. If we really compare talents, they are not inferior to many people in this academy.
Naturally, they have heard of this couplet.
They have also matched it.
Unfortunately, there is really no solution.
Ye Jingyue smiled, then picked up the pen and wrote quickly.
Ye Yunyao and Lin Shishi both looked at what she wrote, and they were worried at first and then shocked!
"It's done!"
Ye Jingyue's couplet was hung up.
"You are a human, Qiu Qiuyi, pretending to be a human, four little ghosts, ghosts and monsters, if they invade the border, they will be caught by joining hands!"
Someone read out Ye Jingyue's couplet.
Instantly, there was silence.
Then, thunderous applause broke out.
"Good, good!"
"You really got it right, so neat!"
"Miss Yue is so talented!"
The Ninth Prince's eyes fell on Ye Jingyue with burning eyes, as if he didn't expect Ye Jingyue to really get it right.
And it was so neat and perfect.
The couplet that had been unsolved for 20 years, she really got it right.
Awesome!
Gu Jingchen stood in the crowd, looking at Ye Jingyue's comfortable little face. Her temperament was sloppy and casual, and it was impossible to tell that she was a person with substance.
She always gave people a great sense of difference and surprise.
Ye Yunyao couldn't help but applaud: "Yue'er, you are so awesome."
Lin Shishi also gave her a thumbs up.
Ye Jingyue smiled and shrugged.
"Just so-so, third in the world!"
The Ninth Prince couldn't help laughing.
She said the same thing last time.
I thought it was a humble remark.
Now it seems that this sentence is really humble.
Just based on this couplet, she is more than third in the world.
Interesting, she is really a very interesting woman.
The Ninth Prince said: "This round, Ye Jingyue's team wins!" Ye
Tianqi's face turned liver color.
This time, all his face was gone.
Originally, he wanted to bring out a perfect answer, just to make Ye Jingyue unable to answer it.
In fact, bringing out this answer made him look mean. It
is too much to ask someone to answer an unsolvable question.
But competitions are unreasonable.
If you have the ability, answer it!
As a result, Ye Jingyue really answered it!
And it was so perfect.
This shows that he is mean and mean!!!
