Chapter 1012: Dumbfounded Again
At this time, the fox from the Di family looked at his wife on the stage, whose IQ was off the charts, but whose EQ was obviously a little off, or too shy. Di Yunxi's fox-like lips curled up even more.
Sure enough, after Ling Siqi grabbed the first question, she stopped trying for the next ones. Everyone could see that every time a question came out, she would quickly start scribbling on it, but she was always beaten to it by others.
Although she got the first question and was the first to be on the list, others got the questions one after another and gradually surpassed her.
There were 4 people who got 3 questions right, and until the quota of 16 people was filled, Ling Siqi only answered one question correctly.
The organizing committee's goal was to find only the best. So just as the 16 spots were filled and the remaining contestants were determined to keep trying, the third round came to an abrupt end.
The whole audience was in an uproar.
Because up to this point, the organizing committee had only issued 32 questions.
The mentors from various countries were dumbfounded.
We agreed to select the top 50. Based on this probability, everyone guessed that it would take at least 100 questions to compete for the top 50.
So some strong players haven't even started to perform yet, but the third game has already ended.
So how do we select the top 50?
There were only 32 questions in total. Four people tied for first place, each answering three questions correctly. Eight people tied for second place, each answering two questions correctly. The remaining four people tied for third place, each answering only one question. Because Ling Siqi was the first to answer the question, she ranked 13th.
The remaining contestants on the field didn't answer a single question.
However, the organizing committee stated that the second round was a self-test consisting of 10 questions. Participants would be screened based on their accuracy rate. If 60 people got all 7 questions correct, for example, only the top 50 would advance to the fourth round. Excluding the 16 people already guaranteed to qualify, the 34 with the highest accuracy rates and fastest time to complete the questions would be selected from these 60 participants and automatically advance to the fourth round.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Although there weren't many questions before, they were all very difficult. To ensure accuracy, many people didn't submit their completed papers, instead checking them over and over again. Many even got into the habit of not turning them in until the very last minute.
But that doesn’t mean these people aren’t excellent.
Many instructors in the audience were upset because many of their students were like that: very talented, yet very cautious.
The organizing committee knew everyone's thoughts, so the host told everyone that the contestants were all talented chemists from various countries, but Lianzhou only wanted to select the best. They needed not only stability and accuracy, but also ruthlessness.
Therefore, even if some players are very good, but not ruthless enough in their bones, they are not the ones they want to choose.
Of the four contestants from Country Z, only Ling Siqi made it into the top 16 in this round, and Dan Yue made it into the top 50. The rest were all eliminated.
One person from Country Z entered the top 50, and another person entered the top 16, which is already a very good result for the professors of Country Z.
The fourth round began, just as everyone had guessed. Contestants ranked 17th to 50th challenged the top 16 at random. Successful challenges resulted in the players swapping places, while unsuccessful challenges resulted in elimination.
It is also a quick-answer method.
This time, the contestants ranked 17-50 all understood the toxicity of the organizing committee and knew that the organizing committee would not give them too many opportunities, so everyone was trying their best to get to 16th place.
