After Stevens and his team finally counted the scores of all the contestants, they sighed again.
"This time, the Chinese team really exceeded our expectations."
"Perhaps, we need to change our view of Chinese mathematics. China is not without mathematical talent."
"Yes, it's really hard to imagine that a genius like Su actually came from China."
Lambert said this with a hint of regret in his tone. Born in China, where mathematics wasn't a strong culture, Su had achieved such astonishing results. What if she had been discovered as a child and received a good upbringing and education? They simply couldn't imagine it.
What made him even more regretful was that such a top genius was not born in their country.
However, Su is still young and her future has unlimited possibilities.
"Let's go find Sue."
"good."
"Forget it, let's send someone to invite her over." Mr. Stevens said after thinking about it.
It's getting late now, and with so many of them, it wouldn't be a good idea to go to the dormitory and look for someone in a big way.
When Su Qingyun received the message, it was already past seven o'clock. She felt helpless. It seemed that it was not time for her to rest yet.
She could only walk towards the conference room where Stevens and the others were.
When she arrived, everyone was waiting for her, and when they saw her coming, smiles immediately appeared on everyone's faces.
"Su, please sit down," Mr. Stevens called her.
Su Qingyun sat down obediently.
"We called you over because we wanted to hear more about your thoughts and ideas on the Riemann hypothesis. After all, we're very tight on time this afternoon, and there's a lot we haven't explained clearly."
Su Qingyun nodded, "I know."
"Actually, I only have some ideas about the Riemann hypothesis. These ideas have not been confirmed, so I don't know whether they are correct or not. I just talk about it casually."
Lambert smiled. "Su, you're too modest. Although we can't say your thinking was correct in the ten minutes you presented today, we can be certain that it has some significance for confirming the Riemann hypothesis, which is already very valuable."
Stevens opened his notebook, which contained some notes he had taken today. "Is that convenient? Let's continue our discussion based on your thoughts today."
"Sure." Su Qingyun nodded.
"That's great!" everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Soon, discussions began to fill the conference room and continued until late at night.

The next day was the final day of the competition, when the results were announced and awards were presented.
In the morning, in the cafeteria, Yu Qi looked at everyone and said, "It's the last day. Regardless of whether the results are good or bad, we have done our best. Everyone, relax and go home after the awards ceremony!"
"good."
Chen Ru looked at his plate with a look of joy, "Finally, I'm going to get rid of this terrible meal. I want to go home and eat home-cooked food."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
After laughing, everyone's faces showed expressions of longing. Although they had not been out for a few days, being in a foreign country, the homesickness seemed particularly strong, and they wished they could grow wings and fly back to their hometown.
After dinner, everyone went to the closing ceremony and award ceremony.
After all the contestants from different countries took their seats, Mr. Stevens walked onto the stage. In his hand were everyone's scores.
This mathematics competition has two types of awards: group awards and individual awards. As the name suggests, the individual award is won by the player with the highest score among all the participating teams, and is divided into first, second and third prizes. The group awards are divided by country, and are divided into first, second and third place according to the total score.
This is the final moment. All the more than 200 people in the audience are holding their breath with a nervous look on their faces. No one does not want to return home with a good result.
Stevens flipped open the card in his hand and said, "For this competition, we will first announce the individual awards. There are 123 winners of first, second, and third prizes."
"First, we'll announce the third-place winners. The third-place individual winners of this mathematics competition are Aniki Nikasa from Country S, Ogawa Soharata from Country R, and Peddie Frank from Country D."
"Let's welcome them to the stage to receive their awards!"
Applause broke out, and three contestants from different nationalities came on stage to receive their awards. Being able to rank fourth, fifth, and sixth among more than 200 contestants was already very impressive.
Christian was very excited, "Frank, good job!"
Frank smiled and stood up to go on stage.
After the third prize was awarded, the second prize was soon announced. Stevens did not delay and directly announced the winner of the second prize.
"The second-place winners of the individual awards in this mathematics competition are Trelton Frank from Country A and Hood Christian from Country D."
"Let's welcome them to the stage to receive their awards!"
"Christian, that's awesome!" Frank also praised him generously.
Christian frowned.
"What's wrong?" Frank asked him.
"I'm not the first place." Christian said through gritting his teeth.
He thought that he would definitely be able to take first place and win the first prize in the individual award.
"That's alright, it's pretty good." Frank comforted him.
Christian still looked worried.
The two second-place winners came on stage to receive their awards, but Christian didn't look very happy.
He was still wondering in his mind who had taken away his first place?
There was a heated discussion below.
"Oh my god, both the third and second prizes include members of Country D's team. That 19-year-old Christian is truly amazing!"
“Frank is amazing too!”
"Team A also won second prize. Now it depends on which country's team will win first prize."
Amidst the discussion, Mr. Stevens had already begun introducing the first prize winner.
"The winner of first prize may surprise many people, even our judges. In this written exam, I heard many contestants say that the last question was very difficult and no one could possibly answer it."
"To be honest, at first, we didn't hold out hope that anyone would be able to solve the last problem because it was incredibly difficult. Our organizing committee even invited four number theory experts, but they couldn't solve it within six hours."
"But what I want to say is that nothing is impossible in this world. Among the more than 200 contestants, only one contestant successfully solved the last problem. She is the only one to receive a perfect score in the written exam of this mathematics competition, and she is also the winner of our first prize."
"Su Qingyun, a contestant from the Chinese team!"
As Stevens read out Su Qingyun's name, the whole audience fell silent.
