After all the students participating in the competition entered and sat down, the referees also began to enter.
Without further ado, the third round began.
There are still five people taking part in the competition, and this time the focus is on mathematics and divergent thinking ability.
There is a model in the center, and then like playing Tetris, you have to count according to odd and even numbers, and finally eliminate them all to complete it.
This time, not everyone participates individually, but a group of people participate. Each person goes forward and eliminates once, and then the second person continues.
If you calculate wrong or use the wrong method, you will fail and have to start over.
So the referee gave everyone half an hour to discuss a method.
Nowadays there are no electronic products like computers and tablets, so removing blocks is also done manually.
That is, each group will have a template in front of them. They just need to tell the assistant referee which color they want to eliminate, and they will be the executor.
In order to prevent others from hearing each other's voices and affecting each other, each contestant wore a pair of noise-isolating headphones.
At this point each group can study the template in front of them and think of ways to attack it, and new templates will be provided in due course, but the principle will remain the same.
Song Chu was not unfamiliar with this thing. He had played it before when playing math puzzle games, but it was on a tablet and was more difficult than this.
She cleared it in one go, so this one is even easier.
"You three should study the method first." She said to Zhou Weidong and the other two.
"Okay!" The three of them had no idea now. They just felt that this question was quite difficult because there were several colors on the template and many different kinds of blocks. If they didn't calculate one right, they would have to start over.
Song Chu and Gu Yue also moved the blocks on the template together.
Song Chu looked at it very casually. After all, she had her own way of doing it. Gu Yue had never played it before, so he was looking for a suitable method.
Twenty minutes later, the other three had some idea and tried it one after another, but in the end none of them eliminated it completely, which also meant failure.
"This thing doesn't look as difficult as the previous level, but it's actually more difficult to operate." Shen Juan sighed.
Zhou Weidong and Chen Yongqiang agreed, "Yes, we have tried several methods and all failed."
"Time is running out." Zhou Weidong checked his watch, looked at Song Chu and Gu Yue nervously and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
These two people just watched them fiddling with things without saying anything.
"I have a way." Song Chu stretched out his hand and fiddled with it while talking to a few people. At this time, the camera moved forward to give a close-up on their side.
When she finished speaking, all the blocks on the template disappeared.
The three of them were all shocked. Song Chu was so amazing that he succeeded in one try.
Gu Yue smiled and said, "I also have a way."
Then, after the blocks were grouped, he also started operating while talking, and the result was also successful.
Zhou Weidong and the other two: "..." They didn't want to talk anymore. These two were perverts and monsters, not on the same level as them, the mortals.
"We can combine our methods. This will be simpler and the error rate will be almost zero." Song Chu said with a smile.
She and Gu Yue then started talking one by one, not simply talking about methods but also with some guidance.
They are a team, so the three of them still have to play their part, otherwise they will definitely not feel good.
Therefore, in the first twenty minutes, the three people were allowed to think on their own, and then they would give suggestions if they failed. In this way, everyone would be more familiar with it and it would also help the three people improve their abilities.
When the half hour was up, everyone walked to the center.
I have to say that the combination of Song Chu and Gu Yue's methods worked very well. They finished in a relatively short time this time, which stretched the time of the second group by ten minutes.
The last group was completed half an hour later.
The end of the third round also means the end of today's game. Song Chu and her team advanced to tomorrow's game with the first place in points.
There was warm applause again at the scene, and many people's faces turned red with excitement.
Song Chu and Gu Yue are really great in leading the team.
Everyone had thought of coming to watch the game simply to show support, and just pray in their hearts that they wouldn't come last.
But he crushed everyone and won the first place today and advanced to tomorrow's competition. He is really awesome.
Everyone here was very happy, but the teachers and students from other colleges were not so happy.
Especially the teams that originally thought they had a sure win in the top three, they all seemed to be hit hard.
Losing is acceptable to them, but losing by being crushed all the time makes them feel very uncomfortable.
They were all geniuses, so why was there such a big gap between them and Song Chu and Gu Yue? The teachers did not scold them, but comforted them and told them about the achievements of Song Chu and Gu Yue.
It’s not that you are bad, but those two are too strong and cannot be treated as normal geniuses.
On the other hand, after Song Chu and her colleagues came out, they received warm applause and various praises from the External Affairs Office and the Ministry of Education.
Song Chu and Gu Yue both had a smile on their faces, which was not affected by fame or disgrace, while the other three were blushing and their hearts were beating fast with excitement. They had never been affirmed like this before.
Seeing how calm Song Chu and Gu Yue were, the three of them admired them even more, and the others also looked up to them more highly.
As expected, the news that evening broadcast the results of today's game, and also gave several shots to Song Chu and her group.
At this time, thousands of households were watching TV, and many people were watching it on purpose.
Everyone was very happy to see this result.
All the people in Xiabao Village were sitting in the yard of the village committee. When they saw Song Chu and her team take first place in all three rounds and advance, they couldn't help but cheer excitedly.
"Chu Chu and Xiao Gu are so amazing. Those foreigners are no match for them at all."
"Yeah, these two are really competitive. It makes my blood boil."
"All of them are from Xiaba Village, especially Chuchu, who is the pride of our village."
"Yes, Chuchu is our pride, and we also want to let others know how powerful our Chuchu is." Everyone was ready to go to the nearby villages to promote her.
Everyone in the village, young and old, carries a sense of pride and arrogance.
Many people in the county and provincial capital also saw the result and were equally excited.
Song Chu is a talent from their Nan County/Nan Province. This is definitely a glory for the country, which makes them extremely proud.
In the future, if people from other provinces say that their area is remote and backward, they will not agree.
We are behind, but we can produce talents like Song Chu, and then fight against foreign students without losing? This is strength, if you have the ability, you can find two such people? As for the final result of the competition, it will take two days to know, but they don't care. They only know that Song Chu won the glory. Today, he crushed the opponent with three rounds. This is strength, this is genius, and they have to accept it.
We’ll talk about it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, today is their proud moment anyway.
