Chapter 674: Done, Sister Yue's Plan (Part 1 and 2)
The training camp is held at Q University.
Familiar campus, familiar scenery, Jiang Fuyue is back after the IPhO summer camp.
A total of 34 people participated in the training camp.
Among them, 30 were in the top 30 of the CMO Winter Camp, and 4 were in the top two of the China Women's Mathematical Olympiad and the China Western Mathematical Olympiad respectively.
The training period is seven days. After seven days, six people will be selected from the 34 people to represent China in this IMO and compete with mathematical geniuses from other countries.
Ling Xuan: "I heard that Hamasaki Naohara is on the R country team this year."
Jiang Fuyue's reaction was indifferent: "I know. He challenged me before he left."
"Is this person unyielding?"
"Just because he's impressed by music, chess, calligraphy, and painting doesn't mean he's also impressed by math competitions. So far, it seems he's a bit better than his brother, Hamasaki Chiba."
"Which bit?"
"At least he can afford to lose."
Before leaving, he openly challenged Jiang Fuyue, and Hamasaki Chiba...
Since he couldn't handle it himself, he went back to his country and moved his brother out, becoming a coward.
"Ahem!" The teacher stood on the podium and coughed heavily. "Ling Xuan, Jiang Fuyue, have you finished your homework yet you're already chatting secretly?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the two of them, waiting for the show.
The teacher is a good teacher and he doesn't want to embarrass his students in front of them, but who can blame these two people for having no self-awareness at all?
How can you compete in IMO with this attitude?
How to show the greatness of China and the demeanor of a great country?
There is no other way but to call them out in public and teach them a lesson so that they won’t do it again.
Of course, it is also a warning and deterrent to other team members.
Unfortunately, the plan is good, but the reality is terrible——
Jiang Fuyue: "Yes, it's done."
Ling Xuan nodded: "I'm done too."
teacher:"?"
Everyone: "!" This is insane! Wasn't the paper due in an hour yesterday? How come today's difficulty was increased, and it only took 45 minutes to finish?
The teacher was stunned for half a minute before reacting: "Done?"
They both nodded at the same time.
"Let me see..." He walked down dizzyly and stopped beside the seats for two people.
Jiang Fuyue took the initiative to hand over the test paper.
Then there is Ling Xuan.
The teacher first looked at the answer, then roughly scanned the steps, and the shock in his eyes became more and more intense.
I got all three questions right!
The two of them also used different methods, so it is impossible to say that they plagiarized each other.
Xiang Pengyi was shocked.
I met a genius right away, and I was not mentally prepared at all.
During the seven-day training camp, seven teachers were in class to answer questions, so it was normal that Xiang Pengyi did not know the strength of Jiang Fuyue and Ling Xuan.
After all, the expressions of the two teachers before him were not much different from his current one.
Other team members: “…” That’s so sour!
Jiang Fuyue: "Teacher, can we leave get out of class now?"
"Of course."
Jiang Fuyue picked up her schoolbag and walked out of the classroom, followed closely by Ling Xuan.
Xiang Pengyi: “…” Did he pack his schoolbags in advance?
Ten minutes after Jiang Fuyue and Ling Xuan left, three more people handed in their papers, and then students left one after another...
No one really uses up all the exam time.
"Tsk, it seems that this class of students is extraordinary!" Xiang Pengyi wrapped the test paper, tucked it under his arm, turned around and went back to the office.
Half an hour later, Xiang Pengyi said, "The results are out."
Several other teachers immediately sat over and began to analyze and discuss——
"There are eight people who scored full marks: Jiang Fuyue, Ling Xuan, Guo Zidong, Chen Cheng, Tan Jiaxu, Wei Kongjue, Wu Pingting, and Shi Ranran. This order is based on when they submitted their papers."
"How long did Jiang Fuyue and Shi Ranran take respectively?"
Xiang Pengyi: "Jiang Fuyue and Ling Xuan handed in their papers at the same time, and both took 45 minutes. Shi Ranran took 2 hours and 26 minutes."
"Hiss... Such a big gap?"
"Actually, Shi Ranran's speed is normal compared to previous competitors. According to the IMO competition system, three questions should be completed in 4.5 hours. She was able to submit the paper two hours early and get full marks, which is quite outstanding."
"So, it's not that Shi Ranran is too slow, but that the people in front of her are too fast."
"This Jiang Fuyue..." Yuan Bentao frowned, his expression somewhat intriguing.
"What's wrong, Lao Yuan? What do you want to say?"
“Very strange.”
"What?" This was the first time everyone heard Yuan Bentao evaluate a student in this way.
"What do you mean? Why is there no beginning or end?"
Yuan Bentao and Li Zhao beside him looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly at him.
This riddle made the others even more confused.
Yuan Bentao sighed: "Let Old Li speak."
Li Zhao: "The questions are arranged in increasing difficulty, getting harder each day. Everyone knows this, and we informed the students before the training began. On the first day, there were two exams, three questions each in the morning and afternoon. Jiang Fuyue was the first to hand in her paper, and she kept it within an hour and twenty minutes."
He Longchang: "What's so strange about this?"
Li Zhao: "Don't be impatient, just listen to me first."
"...Okay, go ahead. I want to hear what's so strange about this Jiang... uh... classmate Jiang." It wasn't He Longchang's turn to teach yet, so he couldn't even pronounce Jiang Fuyue's name completely.
I felt a little bit dissatisfied.
Li Zhao ignored him. As the teacher answering questions in class on the first day, he was the first to contact Jiang Fuyue.
Yuan Bentao was the second one, which led to the eye contact just now.
"Old Li, please continue."
Li Zhao: "The next day, in Old Yuan's class, Jiang Fuyue was once again the first to hand in two exams, but this time with Ling Xuan, it took her an hour. In Old Xiang's class today, these two only took 45 minutes to hand in their papers and leave. And just like the previous two times, they both got full marks."
Yuan Bentao: "Haven't you found any problems yet?"
"Hiss... This student is wrong! Logically, as the difficulty of the questions increases, the time to answer should also increase. However, Jiang Fuyue, while ensuring a 100% accuracy rate, not only didn't it extend the time, but it actually shortened it?!"
Li Zhao: "That's right! That's why Lao Yuan said she was weird."
He Longchang was skeptical: "Are you sure the timing is accurate? There's nothing wrong with the watch? Otherwise, how could the difficulty increase but the time decrease? This doesn't make sense!"
Xiang Pengyi looked at the paper submission time and score record in his hand, thoughtfully.
All the data for the three days for the 34 students are here.
Jiang Fuyue can be said to be leading the way and standing out.
"Under normal circumstances, it is indeed unlikely, unless..."
Yuan Bentao: "Unless what?"
Xiang Pengyi: "She's conserving her strength! Look at this chart. On the first day, she spent an hour and a half getting to know everyone, leaving her twenty minutes behind Wu Pingting, who submitted her paper next."
"The next day, she shortened the time to one hour and continued testing the waters. This time, the second person to hand in the paper was no longer Wu Pingting, but Guo Zidong, with a 30-minute difference between the two."
"Then today, she and Ling Xuan left Guo Zidong, who handed in his paper second, behind by an hour."
"So, can we understand this as Guo Zidong actually conserving his strength on the first day, just like Jiang Fuyue? It was only when the difficulty increased on the second day and Jiang Fuyue was the first to hand in her paper that Guo Zidong felt threatened and began to unleash his true strength."
"With this, Jiang Fuyue's probing is over, and we've successfully uncovered Guo Zidong, the man who was secretly hiding his strength."
"So today, she and Ling Xuan can unscrupulously widen the time gap, because she has already used the four tests in the past two days to prove that there is no one stronger than her in the training team, including Guo Zidong who showed a threat in the early stages!"
After Xiang Pengyi finished speaking, the entire office fell into an eerie silence.
For two full minutes, no one spoke.
You look at me, I look at you, both of our eyes filled with confusion.
Yuan Bentao: "...She set up this trap to test the strength of all the team members, then catch Guo Zidong, and then what? What exactly does she want to do?"
Li Zhao chuckled and shook his head. "This whole training camp is like a war. They even have to play around with troop formations and strategizing to feel good. What are these kids thinking these days? Have they learned so much?"
"Wait a minute," Xiang Pengyi suddenly said, "Old Li, what did you just say?"
"ah?"
"The second half of the sentence about fighting."
Li Zhao: "Do you still want to play around with troop formations and strategic calculations?"
"Yes! That's right!" Xiang Pengyi punched his thigh, "Jiang Fuyue is arranging the troops!"
He Longchang: "Huh? How come I don't understand a single word?"
Yuan Bentao and Li Zhao looked at each other. Well, they didn’t understand either.
Xiang Pengyi pointed to the other two names on the list and said, "Chen Cheng, Tan Jiaxu, do you see these two people?"
"I saw it. How come Jiang Fuyue's actions have something to do with them?"
"Of course they are related! Jiang Fuyue, Ling Xuan, Chen Cheng, and Tan Jiaxu, these four people all graduated from the same high school in Linhuai."
The student's place of origin and school are recorded at the back of the form. You can see it by turning over. It is not difficult to check.
He Longchang: "So?"
Xiang Pengyi's opening words were like thunder.
Two updates together, 3,000 words.
I'll leave a suspense at the end, and you can also guess why Sister Yue arranged it this way~
It's already been clearly indicated.
