"Mr. Stevens, please take a look." Lambert quickly handed him the test paper.
Soon, Mr. Stevens also showed the same excited expression.
"Let me see too."
The test paper was circulated among all the examiners. Half an hour later, they finally believed that the most difficult question in so many mathematics competitions had really been solved!
Lambert's eyes lit up, "This is a mathematical genius! This is the mathematical genius we are looking for!" They found the person they were looking for!
"And she answered all the previous questions correctly. I couldn't find any mistakes in the entire test paper. She got full marks, the only one who got full marks," Mr. Wade added.
Full marks? Everyone gasped.
"Which country is this contestant from? Is he from Country D or Country A, or maybe our Country E? Hurry, find the original copy of this test paper!" Stevens tried hard to suppress his excitement and said impatiently.
Since the contestants come from different countries and speak different languages, after the exam, each test paper is translated into English by a professional translator before being handed over to the marking group for correction. Therefore, what the marking group sees is not the original test paper, but the translated English version.
They now want to find the original test paper and confirm the identity of the owner of the test paper.
"Neither." Mr. Wade wiped his face and said the second fact that shocked him: "The owner of this test paper is Chinese."
"What did you say?"
"How is it possible? How could he be Chinese?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Wade, this joke is not funny. Stop it."
Given the Chinese people's level of mathematics, how is it possible to solve this most difficult problem?
"I'm not kidding," Wade said. "I've already looked at it. This test was indeed completed by a Chinese contestant."
In an instant, the whole office fell silent and everyone was stunned.
After a long pause, Stevens finally said, "A member of the Chinese team? What's his name?"
Mr. Wade handed him the original test paper.
"Su Qingyun?" Stevens looked at the beautiful name on the test paper and pronounced it awkwardly, frowning in thought. "This name seems familiar."
"Isn't this the name of the only girl in the Chinese team?" Stevens suddenly exclaimed. He remembered that it was because Su Qingyun was the youngest among all the participating players, so he had a deep impression of Su Qingyun.
So, the situation now is that among all the contestants, the youngest girl is the only one who can solve this problem? And she even got full marks.
God, isn't this incredible!
After Mr. Stevens said this, the others also reacted. Everyone was dumbfounded. They wanted to refuse to believe this horrible thing, but the facts were in front of them and they could not deny it.
So many math teams from math-rich countries actually lost to the Chinese team, which they had never taken seriously. This was a huge blow. They didn't know whether the other teams would be able to accept it when the results were announced later.
"Wait, I remember!" One of the examiners suddenly spoke, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
Everyone looked over and remembered something.
"This Chinese team member named Su Qingyun, I remember her because I was the invigilator in her exam room!" The examiner said with a look of shock on his face. "I was deeply impressed by her."
Lambert asked hurriedly: "Why?"
"Because..." The examiner's face was full of confusion and hesitancy, because he couldn't believe what he said. "Because during today's exam, she only took less than an hour to finish the entire paper, and then..."
"And then what?" Stevens demanded.
"Then... she fell asleep on the table." The examiner recalled Su Qingyun's behavior in the exam room, his face filled with shock. "Of the three and a half hours, she only spent an hour answering questions and basically slept the rest of the time. At the time, many other contestants were affected by her and felt a little unstable."
"Mr. Kunnier, do you know what you are talking about?" Lambert looked dazed.
What does it mean to spend only an hour answering questions during a three-and-a-half-hour exam and the rest sleeping? Everyone suddenly thought there was something wrong with their ears. How else could they hear such a thing?
Is the person Mr. Kunnier is talking about really a normal person?
"It's true, Mr. Lambert." Quenier smiled bitterly. "To be honest, I can't believe it myself."
At that time, he thought that the girl had just done the questions casually and then went to sleep. Now it seems that the questions were obviously too simple for her and did not require so much time to spend.
The whole audience fell silent again. There were so many shocking things happening one after another that their brains were starting to go numb.
"It's so terrible!" I don't know who expressed the sigh in their hearts.
Yeah, it's terrible!
Completing the entire test in just an hour and even getting a perfect score was a truly terrifying feat! Considering how many people on the organizing committee, including a four-digit number theory expert, couldn't solve the last question alone in six hours, the whole thing was just too horrifying.
This girl's mathematical talent can no longer be described as genius, it is simply terrifying, like a monster.
She is only seventeen years old, and her future is simply unpredictable.
No wonder China would send such a young girl to participate in the competition. They used to think that China had no talent, but now they think that this girl is the trump card and killer of the Chinese in this competition.
"It's not just Su Qingyun. I looked at the test papers of several other Chinese team members. They all did well. Except for the last question, they all got full marks on the previous ones."
"No wonder Team China dared to make that bet with Team D." Stevens shook his head and sighed, "They really are confident in making that bet this time."
Lambert nodded. "This time, the Chinese team came prepared."
"Next, it's time to watch the free speech session tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to Su Qingyun's performance."
Stevens nodded. "Me too."
The others also had expectant looks on their faces. After all, since Su Qingyun had gotten full marks in the written test, her performance in the free discussion section couldn't be too bad. They were looking forward to her performance.
This was the first time that they were so looking forward to the performance of a Chinese team member, because they realized that the light of mathematics had also shone in the East, and someone was standing in the light.
They should also put aside their previous contempt for Chinese mathematics and take a good look at what the Chinese can achieve.
