Chapter 560: Didn't answer any questions correctly
These questions were selected by Teacher Zhuang himself. They are very typical and representative, and not easy at all.
So Teacher Zhuang was prepared that some students would have difficulty answering the questions.
The performance of other students was indeed as she expected, but only Shen Ci exceeded her expectations.
She looked at Shen Ci's problem-solving ideas and steps on the calculation paper, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Every step was exactly the same as the standard answer, which was simply incredible.
If it weren't for the fact that she had picked out these questions herself, she would even suspect that someone had deliberately leaked the questions to Shen Ci.
After being shocked, Teacher Zhuang's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration.
The candidate Li Jianguo strongly recommended turned out to be the right one.
However, before Teacher Zhuang could calm down, she discovered that although Shen Ci's solution and answer on the calculation paper were completely correct, she wrote a different version on the test paper.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but frowned and looked at Shen Ci in confusion.
But she didn't say anything more, for fear of disturbing the attention of other students.
Seeing Teacher Zhuang standing motionless behind Shen Ci, the others became curious, especially Wang Yikun. As the person with the most experience in competitions, shouldn't he be the one who receives the most attention and attention?
What is this Shen Ci doing? Can't he answer any questions?
Time passed minute by minute, until Teacher Zhuang said that the time was up and everyone sat up straight. Teacher Zhuang stood behind Shen Ci without moving an inch.
She was the first to take away Chen Ci's paper, and then she looked at Chen Ci deeply.
Chen Ci also knew that the teacher had been watching her answer the questions, but she was not affected. These Olympiad questions were indeed difficult, but they were easy for her.
In her previous life, when she was engaged in space research, the things she had to calculate were much more difficult than these questions.
"It's so difficult!" Wang Li complained softly, and then took the initiative to talk to Shen Ci: "Shen Ci, how many questions did you finish? I answered five questions, I don't know if I answered them correctly. I didn't even have time to do the last one. You think it's difficult too, right? I see the teacher is always looking at you. You must be more nervous than the rest of us."
Chen Ci was already sleepy, and Wang Li was really noisy. She couldn't bear it anymore and turned around to make a silencing gesture to him: "The teacher is checking the test paper, be quiet."
The beautiful woman's warnings were all sweet, and Wang Li nodded hurriedly.
Sun Yue turned around and whispered to Wang Yikun, "Have you finished answering all the questions? Did you find it difficult?"
Wang Yikun calmly replied, "I've finished answering them all. The difficulty level is about average. The questions the teacher picked are very typical, but the Olympiad questions in recent years have had a lot of novelty, and they're a bit harder than today's questions."
"Ah? It's going to be even harder?" Sun Yue's face fell when he heard that. "I think we're all having a hard time. Don't let everyone get eliminated after finishing this set of questions, and you'll be the only one left."
Wang Yikun said, "That's not the case. The Olympiad is different from ordinary exams. Since you lack experience, you need to start by getting used to the question types. It's normal for you to find it difficult at first. As the teacher slowly guides you, you will improve as you practice more and solve more questions. Don't worry."
At this time, Teacher Zhuang finished looking at the papers of the five people and checked them one by one, then looked up.
She first looked at everyone and smiled. Everyone felt relieved when they saw her expression. At least the teacher did not look disappointed.
"This was my first time testing everyone's abilities, so I was actually quite prepared. The person with the best scores among these papers was Wang Yikun," Teacher Zhuang said, pulling out Wang Yikun's paper. "He got three of them completely correct. Although the answers to the remaining three were incorrect, he still scored some points for his formula derivation and physical thinking. This is the step-by-step grading system in the Olympiad, so everyone's problem-solving thinking must be clear. It's better to make it more complex than to simplify it, because getting one more correct step might earn you an extra point. That's the principle."
"Then Wang Yikun is the popular choice. My classmates and I have recommended you to be the captain. You also got the highest score in this test. It would be disrespectful to refuse this time, right?" Teacher Zhuang looked at Wang Yikun.
Wang Yikun stood up and nodded: "Okay, teacher, I will be a good captain."
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Ci again, thinking that this would finally convince him, right?
As a result, Shen Ci was even more exaggerated than before. He folded his hands and rested his chin on them. From his perspective from behind, he seemed to have fallen asleep.
Teacher Zhuang continued, "The second place goes to Hu Xiaoxia. She got both of the big questions correct. She probably didn't have time to solve the last big question due to time constraints. She also scored some points for formula derivation and physical thinking in the remaining questions."
Hu Xiaoxia was very happy to hear that she got second place. She stood up and said, "Thank you, teacher."
Teacher Zhuang smiled encouragingly and continued, "Wang Li and Sun Yue's performance wasn't quite as good. They also didn't answer the last big question, and they didn't get very high scores on the remaining questions. They might not be used to the type of questions in the Olympiad yet. They should practice more when they have time."
Wang Li and Sun Yue scratched their heads in embarrassment.
In the end, only Shen Ci's paper was left for the teacher to explain.
"I will now briefly talk to you about the relevant knowledge about the Physics Olympiad..." Teacher Zhuang stood up and was about to move on to the next step.
Wang Yikun was slightly stunned. He had been waiting for the teacher to tell him about Chen Ci's grades. Why didn't he tell her?
So almost subconsciously, he raised his hand: "Teacher, how are Shen Ci's grades? You haven't told me yet?"
The others were naturally curious as well, and immediately looked at Shen Ci.
Chen Ci was not asleep. No matter what, she had to respect the teacher's presence. She was just a little sleepy, so it would be more comfortable to lie down. When she heard her own name, she subconsciously sat up straight.
Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhuang looked at Chen Ci with a meaningful expression, but still said truthfully based on the paper Chen Ci handed in: "Student Chen Ci didn't answer a single question correctly."
"ah?"
Everyone spoke at once, all with shocked expressions on their faces.
Wang Yikun's expression remained calm because the answer was exactly what he thought. Otherwise, why would the teacher stand behind her and watch her all the time? It must be because she was different from others.
After getting this answer, Wang Yikun sat down contentedly.
Teacher Zhuang didn't say much and continued with the following content.
Until the end, Teacher Zhuang said: "Everyone pay attention to the news in the group, and then the captain will organize more team members to practice more questions to improve their adaptability. That's it for today, everyone go back first, Chen Ci, you stay for a while."
Shen Ci nodded, not surprised at all.
Wang Yikun glanced at Chen Ci with a slightly gloomy look, then walked away with his schoolbag on his back.
The others followed suit, and Shen Ci finally stood up and walked to Teacher Zhuang: "Teacher Zhuang."
Teacher Zhuang looked at her with a gentle smile on his face. "Why? Don't you want to be the captain?"
