Chapter 845 Well-Deserved First Place
Because the final was open, many reporters came and filmed the process.
The reporters gave Gu Ning the most shots, because they all knew about Gu Ning's affairs. This genius made them so serious! The finals consisted of ten questions. The first question was an oral calculation question with a time limit of thirty seconds.
4485977+2333201-566177-1287212=?
Gu Ning took a look and his mind raced. In just five seconds, he came up with the answer, then wrote it down on a piece of paper, becoming the first person to hand in his answer.
Everyone knew that Gu Ning was not fast, but surprisingly, it took only six or seven seconds from the time the question was asked to the time Gu Ning handed in the answer.
Thirty seconds were up. In addition to Gu Ning, two others managed to answer the question before the time was up, but whether they were correct or not was another matter.
But Gu Ning was the first one, so the first thing to do is to announce Gu Ning’s answer, 4965789, which is accurate.
The first one is correct, so there is no need to look at the second and third ones, regardless of whether their answers are right or wrong.
The second question is an essay question with a time limit of ten minutes, which is the general time for answering questions.
But for Gu Ning, he understood it at a glance, and then started writing. In just one minute, he answered the questions, as if he was copying them word for word.
Everyone gasped in shock at Gu Ning again.
This girl is simply amazing.
Students who can enter the top ten are already considered geniuses, but Gu Ning! He is a genius among geniuses! In addition to these students, these experts have seen more students with good mathematical talents. No matter who they are, they are simply vulnerable in front of Gu Ning.
The same thing happened with the third and fourth questions. Everyone began to go from being shocked to being numb. They felt that there was no need to question or guess the answer, as it had to be Gu Ning.
Until the tenth question, Gu Ning answered them all, and at an extremely fast speed.
Sure enough, it was really Gu Ning.
Now everyone was no longer surprised, but they were still shocked by her speed and could not digest it for the time being.
Gu Ning's excellence made all the experts and professors feel ashamed. Although they could answer the questions in half of the allotted time, they were unable to answer them in less than a quarter of the time that Gu Ning took.
Some experts felt resentful towards Gu Ning because they were not as good as a student. They felt that her ability was a slap in their faces and made them feel ashamed.
This is the thinking of narrow-minded people.
But more people were conquered, appreciated and admired by Gu Ning. One expert was so excited to meet a good talent that he asked questions on the spot, and Gu Ning answered many of them.
As soon as the competition was over, the results came out and awards were presented on the spot, with three places given.
Because Gu Ning answered the questions correctly this time, the second and third place winners were selected from the students who answered the questions second and third with the most correct answers.
The second place was a boy from another city, and the third place was Zhang Zicen.
Song Siyao was furious when she saw that two people she hated both won awards, and she wouldn't get a ranking, so her luxury car would be gone.
The first place winner will receive a trophy, a certificate of honor, and a prize of 50,000 yuan.
Second place winner will receive a certificate of honor and a prize of RMB 30,000.
The third place winner will receive a certificate of honor and a prize of 20,000 yuan.
Although the money is not much, it is just an encouragement.
After the award was presented, the reporters immediately gathered around and interviewed Gu Ning and others.
In front of many cameras, the second-place boy and Zhang Zicen were a little nervous, but Gu Ning was calm and composed, neither humble nor overbearing, neither arrogant nor impatient, making everyone feel like they were listening to a leader.
The reporter asked: Mr. Gu, many people are curious about why you can answer the questions in such a short time. Those who come to participate in the mathematics competition are all outstanding, and those who enter the top ten are extremely talented, but there is still a big gap between them and you.
Gu Ning replied: Because I have a very good memory, everything I have seen is deeply engraved in my mind, and I have seen a lot, so I remember a lot.
Everyone had no choice but to believe this answer. They couldn't say that she had received the answer in advance! The leader of the Education Bureau was present. If such a question was raised, wouldn't it be a slap in his face? Moreover, the experts had already answered the questions on the spot, and Gu Ning answered them very quickly. They couldn't question the person who asked the questions just because Gu Ning answered them! What's the difference between this and blaming someone else? Not to mention that they didn't dare to offend these people, the reporters who could come here to visit were all clear-headed and well-educated, so they wouldn't say anything they shouldn't say.
Gu Ning's outstandingness naturally attracted many experts who wanted to take her in as their apprentice. Although Gu Ning was very capable, she was still a high school student after all, and the knowledge she was exposed to was only high school mathematics, so she still had a lot to learn.
And they are experts who specialize in mathematics, and they are involved in all knowledge about mathematics.
After the interview, two experts came to Gu Ning and expressed their desire to take her as their apprentice, but Gu Ning refused both times. The two experts tried to persuade her, but Gu Ning remained firm in her attitude, and they had no other choice.
The National Mathematics Competition for High School Students has come to an end, and the participating students from various cities have returned with their team leaders, all of whom have booked flights in the afternoon.
Gu Ning naturally would not go back, because her current home is Hai City, and she will go back to take the college entrance examination.
Su Anya and Zhang Zicen said goodbye to Gu Ning reluctantly.
After the meeting, Gu Ning went straight back to the Tang family.
Although this award is not a big deal for Gu Ning, Tang Haifeng and others, as elders, would definitely be very happy to know about it.
Although they already knew that Gu Ning won first place in both the preliminary and semi-final rounds, and they also concluded that Gu Ning would be the first place winner of the National High School Mathematics Competition, they had even prepared a celebration banquet, and the family had already arranged everything and were waiting for him to come back for dinner in the evening.
Yes, although they had already concluded that Gu Ning was the winner of this math competition, they were still very excited when they saw the trophy and certificate of honor with their own eyes, and they were extremely proud of Gu Ning.
Tang Haifeng even called his old friends to show off! If he had only won first place, it wouldn't have been too surprising, but the problem was that he won first place with full marks, which was unprecedented, so Tang Haifeng's old friends were all surprised and envious.
Sure enough, all the children belong to other people.
Soon, the scene of the National High School Mathematics Competition Finals was reported on TV and uploaded to the Internet, which immediately set off a craze. Many people praised, admired and worshipped the genius Gu Ning.
