The young man is really not stupid. She does not have the ability to turn decay into magic yet. It is because the young man has some basic knowledge and is eager to learn. She just did some work to organize and connect the knowledge and conduct a thorough analysis.
The young man has a clear desire to go and has a bright future. Wu Tong is completely relieved and is fully preparing for the IMO, which is entering the single-digit countdown.
Maintaining focus, but not panicking, was the guiding principle throughout the final days of training. They were fully prepared, ready to demonstrate their invincibility and the spirit of victory.
At 6:30, before the training ended, Wu Tong received her acceptance letter from Pan Wenhua, Dean of the School of Mathematics at Peking University. "Let's just go and do what we need to do, and leave a souvenir!"
To prevent those guys with ulterior motives, especially those next door, from shamelessly poaching their children again and again.
Looking at the admission letter with unique Peking University characteristics in her hand, Wu Tong felt that she might be the first candidate to receive an admission letter this year.
On July 3rd, after two days of final preparations, Wu Tong and his six companions, led by two professors from Peking University, boarded an international flight to Nur-Sultan, the capital of Kazakhstan. Stana, that would be its future name.
The IMO national team officially sets off!
Although the flight was only about three hours long, including the waiting time and the time to leave the airport, it only took half a day.
But during these three hours, the plane cut through the sky, crossed thousands of kilometers, headed for a distant foreign country, and landed in Nur-Sultan, where the exotic atmosphere hit us in the face.
In the distant past, this place was also said to belong to China.
But think about it, everything here is very different from the mainland, making the Chinese visitors feel unfamiliar. Strange buildings, strange faces, strange language...
For Wu Tong and other young Chinese, who had lived a peaceful life for a long time, the impression of countries with the word "stan" was that they were either war-torn or dusty and backward. The Nur-Sultan International Airport, where they landed, had slightly more basic facilities than those in China, which added a touch of anxiety to the newly arrived Chinese visitors.
Fortunately, however, as they headed from the airport outside the suburbs to the city center, the road became increasingly prosperous, with tall buildings and heavy traffic, a typical appearance of a modern city, and everyone felt a little relieved.
This is not discrimination or anything else, but they have a mission. It would be a pity if the environment is too different, leading to acclimatization and various maladjustments that affect their performance.
The group stayed in a hotel provided by the government. For their first meal after landing, they were somewhat not used to the local food. Most of the people in the Chinese delegation looked a little listless, but fortunately, the distance was relatively close, so the time difference was relatively easy to adjust to.
After all, it is a neighboring country. It is closer to here from Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang Province, than to Beijing.
As for diet, Professor Li said, "You're allowed to be picky about what you eat these days. Choose what you like. The meat and dairy products here are all good. You must ensure that you consume meat, eggs, milk, and vegetables in moderation to ensure health and nutrition. Don't try anything unconventional. Be patient for these few days. After the competition is over, we will make up for it when we return home. Let's overcome difficulties and demonstrate our military's spirit of fearlessness of hardship and fatigue..."
As the team leader, he couldn't help but give some precautions. "The temperature difference between morning and evening here is quite large, so you need to be more careful when adding or removing clothes. These few days are especially critical..."
This was Wu Tong's first time traveling abroad, so it was a bit unusual. The cooking here was pretty good, and Wu Tong wasn't too picky about food, so after careful selection, he didn't make many disappointments.
"Fortunately, this IMO is in Khaza, not in India!" Chu Xiaosheng from Hai City was still in shock. He ordered a traditional Khaza smoked horse sausage and almost vomited it out.
This thing is a favorite for those who like it, but a dark dish for those who can't. Zhang Beibei, a cute girl from East China Normal University, and Su Zhikang, from Sichuan and Chongqing, were quite happy with it, finding it unique and flavorful. The others, however, were content to try it briefly. Chu Xiaosheng enthusiastically fed the food, ensuring no food was wasted.
The two and a half days of adaptation were spent in such a pleasant atmosphere.
Out of caution, they did not leave the hotel. They stayed inside, playing games, eating, discussing knowledge points, learning while relaxing and relaxing while learning. The six of them were all friends who had trained in the same trench for forty days. With the arrangements of the resourceful Guo Jiachen and Chu Xiaosheng, the atmosphere was very pleasant.
On July 6, the 51st International Mathematical Olympiad officially opened, with a total of 517 students from 98 countries and regions around the world participating in the competition.
However, this year, aside from the Chinese team, the well-informed team leaders and students from other countries and regions all looked glum. They looked especially at the Chinese team, and in their eyes, the exceptionally young Wu Tong was filled with the sorrow of a God who no longer cared for these lost lambs.
China is already very strong, but this year it’s gone too far!
As a superpower, wouldn't it be a shame to release such a trump card to harm them?
Would it be interesting to let a person who solved Zhou's conjecture, published papers in SCI core journals, and appeared in the Annals of Mathematics, and can be called an international scholar, come and beat these high school students?
How could they possibly compete? Luckily, there's only one overkill like this! If all Chinese teams were equipped like this, there'd be no point competing. They could just go home and forfeit the competition!
But no matter how heartbroken they were, there was nothing they could do. It's not that no one protested to the organizing committee, but the organizing committee checked all the files and found that Wu was indeed a high school student, not a college student pretending to be a high school student to participate in the competition. In fact, her age was considered young among all the participating students!
Orientals always look young in the eyes of Westerners. When they see Master Wu Tong, many of them can't help but restrain their angry curses and glares. They feel a little guilty of bullying a child!
After the opening ceremony, Li Yisheng talked to his team members about some of the information he had heard.
"I heard that the difficulty of this year's IMO has increased!" Li Yisheng glanced at Wu Tong with amusement. "No doubt, it's because of you! The IMO loves to ask number theory questions, and you solved the Zhou conjecture, a difficult number theory problem, so..."
Li Yishen spread his hands. Fortunately, they had anticipated this and made preparations in advance, so they would not be caught off guard this year. Wu Tong was the trump card!
Wu Tong spread her hands. This was something she could not have expected.
IMO, two exams over two days, three questions each, 4.5 hours each. Each question is worth 7 points, for a total of 42 points.
On the 7th and 8th, the competition officially began.
At nine o'clock, all the candidates participating in the competition were in place and the test papers were distributed. The official terms of IMO are English, French, German and Russian. The team leaders were isolated in advance and translated the test papers into their own languages.
