Chapter 298 Fermat's Conjecture



Although everyone had 10 minutes, in reality most people finished speaking before 10 minutes had passed, so the time passed quite quickly. Su Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. At this rate, she shouldn't have to wait too long.

Alexandra has completed the free explanation session. She was lucky enough to draw a question that was not very difficult. Although she was unable to solve it within 10 minutes, she already had a complete idea. Judging from the judges' expressions, her score should be okay.

"That's so scary!" Alexandra patted her chest, the tension still lingering on her face. "I think this is much scarier than the written test."

At least in the written test, you have to do your own questions without worrying about other external factors. But this time, you not only have to face the judges, but also the eyes of the other contestants below, all staring at you. When Alexandra was on the stage, she almost forgot what she was going to say.

In addition to those who are lucky, there are naturally others who are unlucky. For example, Su Qingyun saw with his own eyes that a contestant from Country H turned two shades paler the moment he saw the test questions.

She was curious for a moment. What on earth did this person draw that made him look so ugly?

Soon, Su Qingyun found out what this person had drawn.

Fermat's conjecture.

When this mathematical term appeared, the whole audience gasped and everyone had a shocked expression on their face.

What is Fermat's conjecture? Everyone here studies mathematics, so everyone here should know what it is.

This is a mathematical conjecture proposed by Pierre de Fermat, a French mathematician in the 17th century. It has a history of more than three hundred years, but so far no one has been able to confirm this mathematical conjecture.

Fermat's conjecture states that when the integer n is greater than 2, the equation x^n+ y^n= z^n related to x, y, and z has no positive integer solution.

This conjecture is only a short line of words, but it has stumped countless people, so much so that no one has been able to successfully verify this conjecture for so many years.

In the early 20th century, there was even a German named Wolfskehl who set up a prize, declaring that if anyone could completely confirm this conjecture within 100 years after his death, the money would belong to that person.

Many people have tried to confirm this conjecture for the lucrative prize, but so far no one has succeeded.

Su Qingyun's expression was a little strange, because in her previous life, Fermat's conjecture had been confirmed and had become Fermat's Last Theorem.

She calculated the time and found that it would take more than 20 years for Fermat's conjecture to be proven.

Su Qingyun looked at the team member standing on the stage with a pale face. He couldn't explain anything at all, so he could only bite the bullet and say a few words. The judging panel didn't say anything, didn't ask him if he had any questions, and simply waved him off.

The man looked extremely unhappy, he knew that he had messed up his free speech.

This is how the competition is. Everyone draws different questions. Some may be simpler, and some may be more complicated. But who says luck is not part of strength?

What's more, those who can solve those complex problems or have their own ideas about these world-famous conjectures have stronger mathematical foundation than others.

This is not a question of fairness or not. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. The truly strong will not care about these subtle differences in luck.

Li Siyuan's number was in the middle, and as it was his turn, he became visibly nervous, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Don't be nervous, you can do it." Su Qingyun comforted him softly.

In her opinion, Li Siyuan may not be the one with the highest mathematical talent in their entire talent group, but he has an advantage that no one else can match, and that is concentration.

As long as Li Siyuan is immersed in mathematics, his concentration is unmatched by anyone. His mind and eyes are only focused on the problem in front of him and he will not be disturbed by anyone.

This kind of trait is most suitable for people who engage in mathematical research, or in other words, this kind of trait is suitable for any research. To do research, you need to concentrate on it and not be distracted.

What's more, Li Siyuan is also very talented in mathematics. With his talent, concentration and hard work, he will definitely succeed, it's just a matter of sooner or later.

"I know." Li Siyuan tried to calm down.

Soon, it was his turn to draw a question. Li Siyuan stood up and Su Qingyun gave him an encouraging look.

Li Siyuan calmed himself down, walked forward and drew a question. The moment he saw the question, he breathed a sigh of relief.

?Fortunately, although the above question is not a simple one, it is a mathematical problem raised by a mathematician from Country A. Coincidentally, he has studied this mathematical problem before.

In 10 minutes, Li Siyuan had organized his words. By the time the previous person finished speaking, he had calmed down and his nervousness suddenly disappeared.

He walked onto the stage calmly and in a steady voice, expounded his ideas and thoughts in an orderly manner with clear logic and reasoning.

As the translator relayed each sentence, several members of the review panel smiled in appreciation.

10 minutes is neither too much nor too little, and Li Siyuan controlled the time very well. When he stopped, the judging panel began to ask him questions, and Li Siyuan also answered the questions very well.

The members of the review team looked at each other and nodded, understanding what was in each other's eyes.

They sighed a little, thinking that this contestant from the Chinese team was no ordinary person, as he came well prepared.

"Very good." Stevens also praised.

Li Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief. With these words, he believed that his results would not be too bad. He walked off the stage and exchanged glances with Su Qingyun.

Su Qingyun smiled and said, "Not bad."

Alexandra was also a little surprised when she saw his expression. "I just heard your speech. You are very impressive."

Although her speech had ended, she stayed here and did not leave. Perhaps she could benefit a lot from listening to other people's speeches.

"What did she say?" Li Siyuan was a little confused. He didn't understand what Alexandra said.

"She said you were amazing."

"Thank you." Li Siyuan thanked him sincerely.

Alexandra asked Su Qingyun, "Are all the members of your Chinese team so powerful this time?"

"It's okay." Su Qingyun said casually.

"I asked you yesterday how you did on the test, and you said it was okay, but you only got the last question right."

Alexandra said in a gloomy tone, "I understand now. You Chinese are okay. It means very okay, very good."

Su Qingyun was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
