Chapter 443: Glory Gold Medal
The Cambridge trio in the audience turned their eyes to Lin Siqiao. The other contestants might not be clear about her strength, but they had been training together before, so Lin Siqiao's strength was unquestionable.
In the words of Teacher Frank, talent is something that is innate. The scary thing is that she has this talent but works harder than others.
So when they heard Mr. Rona mention Cambridge University, they already guessed in their hearts that the gold medal must go to Lin Siqiao.
", congratulations."
The three of them calmly extended their hands, "We are convinced that we lost to a player like you."
Lin Siqiao smiled. She was satisfied with her performance today, but no one could tell who would win the gold medal until the last moment. It was always better to be humble at this time.
However, before Lin Siqiao could speak, Mr. Rona had already announced the list of Cambridge's winners.
"Please invite Harry, Adam, and David from Cambridge to come up to the stage to receive the award."
Upon hearing this, the Cambridge trio widened their eyes and covered their heads in disbelief.
This... How is this possible? They won the gold medal, so what?
With her strength, even if she couldn't win the gold medal, she would at least get the silver medal. How could it be possible that she didn't get any medal at all?
This is simply outrageous!
In fact, Lin Siqiao was somewhat surprised when he heard the news.
She didn't think she would definitely win a gold medal, but considering her performance today, it was a bit strange that she didn't get a medal at all.
At this time, Lin Siqiao noticed the points on the big screen.
As the medals were awarded, the points and answering time of the winning teams were announced in real time.
Lin Siqiao took a quick look and found that the highest score for the bronze medal was 7 points and the silver medal was 8 points.
And this is where the problem lies. Other contestants don’t know her points, but Lin Siqiao herself knows it.
Because except for the last big question, she managed to answer all the remaining 10 questions.
During the period, she did not lock the time due to wrong answers, so whether in terms of net points or time, her results were enough to win the gold medal.
"Xiao Lin, don't be discouraged. One setback doesn't mean anything."
"Really, you did a great job today!"
Director Chen was a little worried when he saw that Lin Siqiao remained silent, so he comforted her with a few words.
Lin Siqiao nodded. She always felt that today's matter was not over yet, and there might be some twists and turns later.
"Director Chen, I'm fine, don't worry..."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Rona's excited voice came out through the microphone.
"The most important award of this competition is about to be presented - the Gold Medal of Honor!"
“Let’s welcome our fellow students from Cambridge University.”
"Please invite the students to come up to the stage to receive the award."
Director Chen was stunned for a moment, then he clapped his hands vigorously.
"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa"
The audience applauded together and looked at each other in surprise.
Aren’t there only 12 medals in total? How come there is suddenly another gold medal of honor? What is going on?
It wasn't until they saw Lin Siqiao that they suddenly realized, isn't this the girl who participated in the competition alone?
There are more than 300 contestants participating in the competition today, and originally no one could tell who was who. However, Lin Siqiao is one of the few girls among the contestants, so it is hard for them not to notice her.
At that time, everyone was sighing and saying that the girl was very pitiful.
The other groups divided the work and cooperated with each other, unlike her who answered the questions silently by herself from beginning to end without even anyone to discuss with.
As Lin Siqiao walked onto the podium, her competition results were announced in real time on the big screen.
When Mr. Rona introduced that she was from Cambridge University and had only been exposed to computers for half a year, the audience was collectively shocked.
This guy is not a poor little thing at all, he is clearly a big devil!
No wonder the organizing committee awarded her the Gold Medal of Honor.
But what everyone doesn’t know is that the organizing committee actually went through a heated discussion before making this decision.
This story has to start from a few hours ago.
The competition had just ended at that time. After counting all the data, the judges were surprised to find that the two teams ranked fourth in points not only had the same points, but their answering time was also exactly the same.
According to the rules of the competition, when the points and duration are the same, the first step is to review, and then it will be handed over to the arbitration group for arbitration.
While the judges were reviewing the scores, Mr. Rona accidentally took a look at Lin Siqiao's problem-solving code records.
You won’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it.
Unlike other contestants, Lin Siqiao did not use too much nested mode for stacking when designing programs.
The code she wrote was concise and clear, and at first glance, there was almost no redundant code.
This framework structure not only reduces the computer's computing workload, but also makes the subsequent maintenance process more efficient and convenient.
After reading all her code records, Mr. Rona was speechless except shaking his head.
When he had almost calmed down, he called all the other members of the organizing committee over.
Seeing his dazed look, everyone asked, "Hey, man, what's wrong with you?"
"You'll know once you take a look." Mr. Rona handed Lin Siqiao's problem-solving code notebook to everyone.
Just as he expected, the other members of the organizing committee were stunned after watching it.
"Mr. Rona, is this the girl you are talking about who competed alone?"
"Yes." Mr. Rona nodded. "As far as I know, this person has only been exposed to computers for less than half a year."
"Half a year?"
"Yes, only half a year."
"How is this possible?"
Despite receiving a positive answer, the members of the organizing committee still couldn't believe what they heard.
The fact that she could learn to this level in half a year only means that her level is completely not on the same level as others. She is attacking from a lower dimension!
At this time, the judges' review results came out.
The points and duration of the two teams are indeed the same, so it seems that the case can only be resolved by the arbitration group.
Seeing this, Mr. Rona spoke up, "Everyone, I have an idea and I hope you agree with it."
No one nodded, but asked him to speak first.
After listening to Mr. Rona's ideas, all members of the organizing committee expressed their opposition without exception.
They can understand each other's eagerness to appreciate talent, but this is an international competition after all, and it is too trifling to change the established rules at will.
But Mr. Rona doesn't think so. In his opinion, whether the rules can be broken depends on whether the person has the ability to do so.
In a case like this, let alone breaking the rules, what's wrong with even re-making them?
Besides, for the contestants, having an extra medal of honor may motivate them even better.
This is a win-win situation.
The two sides argued about this issue in the conference room for a long time, but neither could convince the other.
In the end, it was the judges on the side who came up with an idea.
"Why don't we ask the sponsor for his opinion? Having an extra medal isn't a big problem, the key is who will pay for the prize money?"
When the people from the organizing committee heard this, they fell silent.
Is there any need to ask this? Everyone knows that the title sponsor of this competition is the company, and the person in charge, Manager Rosen, is the younger brother of the person in front of him.
It was only at this moment that they realized that although Mr. Rona loved talented people, he wanted to use this opportunity to build momentum for his own company.
Come on, they have money and can do whatever they want, so they should stop offending others here.
Having said that, the student truly deserves this award, and there is no room for debate about that.
