“This isn’t fair!!!”
Sima Yu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, how can you teach General Ye on the spot?"
Baili Tang sneered, "You can teach him, right? Just don't help him, don't go to the ring, and don't use hidden weapons..."
Wanyan Agu also said angrily: "Anyway, it's unfair! I strongly suggest that this match be a draw!"
Fortunately, Wanyan Agu spoke quickly, otherwise they would have lost!
Because Ye Hongxue really used a trick to use the opponent's force against him and almost pushed Wanyan Ada off the ring!
Wanyan Ada was also very frightened. He absolutely could not lose this game. If it was a draw, he would definitely win the next one because Sima Yu had already told him the questions and the answers!
"Let's call this a draw!" Wanyan Ada said to Ye Hongxue expressionlessly.
"Okay." Ye Hongxue chuckled, but her heart was about to jump out of her chest - she almost lost!
Also, how could such a tyrant know such profound martial arts?
Could it be that the master he mentioned also taught him?
She seemed to have just heard her master's voice - use the opponent's force to counter the opponent's force! It was these words that reminded her! Master had sneaked into the palace?
Ye Hongxue knew that she had to avoid Wanyan Ada's sharp edge, but the arena was too small, and flying around would eventually exhaust her energy...
"Since it's a tie, and it's still early, why don't we ask Yue to come up with a problem?" Sima Yu said. She was also afraid of the long night and the many dreams. What if Baili Tang's spies who were lurking around them leaked the problem? Wouldn't that backfire?
Wanyan Ada cooperated with her: "Speak."
Both parties agreed, and Baili Tang had no choice but to object.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that your country has always had a deep understanding of arithmetic. Today, I, Sima Yu, will cater to your interests and give you an arithmetic problem. How about it?" Sima Yu said with a bright smile.
The genes of the Yue royal family are very strong. The two princesses who came here are both top beauties, but they are covered with thorns!
This is not called catering to someone's needs, this is called trying to cover up one's own guilt!
"How disgusting!" Chao Man'er sneered, "I hate hypocritical women like this the most!"
"If she asks them an arithmetic problem, I'm afraid they have already figured out the answer!" Baili Qinru said.
Sima Chuchu walked over: "Let me tell you the topic, my dear sister, do you have any objection?" Sima Yu was born a month later than her!
Sima Yu was about to refuse, but Wanyan Agu said, "Who said it's different? Hurry up!"
Sima Chuchu cleared her voice and shouted, "I've heard it all! Add one, two, and three, all the way to one hundred and forty-eight, and then subtract the sum of the odd numbers from one to two hundred. What's the result?"
The more Sima Yu listened, the more he felt something was wrong. This bitch had changed the numbers. Originally, it was one plus one hundred, then subtracted, and the sum of the odd numbers between one and one hundred...
As soon as Sima Chuchu finished reading the answer, Baili Tang announced the result: "One thousand and twenty-six!"
"No, no! The question is wrong!" Sima Yu suspected that this bitch must have colluded with Baili Tang, otherwise how could Baili Tang know the answer so quickly? Although she didn't know if the answer was correct, she asked, "It's one plus two plus three, all the way to eight hundred and forty-eight, then subtract the sum of the odd numbers in the range of eight hundred. What's the result?"
This time, you can't calculate it so quickly, right? She has already changed the number, a number that even she herself doesn't know. Anyway, no one in Beidan Country can calculate it. Their people should be able to calculate it quickly.
Baili Tang: "Are you sure this time? I've always been tolerant of women, so I'll allow you to cheat just once!"
Sima Yu said firmly: "Confirmed!"
Baili Tang immediately gave the answer: "!"
Sima Yu was testing an arithmetic progression, which was no problem at all for Baili Tang! The sum of an arithmetic progression is (first term + last term) multiplied by the number of terms divided by 2!
This summation law was solved by a foreigner named Gauss (1786) - he also has a very famous story -
He quickly solved a task assigned by his elementary school teacher: the sum of the natural numbers from 1 to 100. He used a method: summing 50 pairs of sequences that add up to 101 (1+100, 2+99, 3+98, etc.), and obtained the answer: 5050. Gauss was only 9 years old that year.
Sima Yu has shot himself in the foot this time!
It's simply giving points to Baili Tang!
Smart people like Zhang Dongzheng and Ye Hongxue, as well as Ye Hongxue's master, are still trying to figure out the pattern and haven't figured it out yet, but the tyrant has figured it out? Is this the correct answer?
So even Sima Yu didn't know whether Baili Tang's answer was the correct one. She asked, "Your Majesty, are you sure you won't change this answer?"
Baili Tang nodded.
"Grand Tutor?" Sima Yu asked one of their elders!
The old man nodded vigorously, looking at Baili Tang in disbelief! He knew how to calculate, had found the pattern, and figured it out. But what he didn't expect was that Baili Tang solved it faster than him? Shouldn't Zhang Dongzheng be the one to solve the problem? He was just one step late!
"So, I won this round? Right!"
Sima Yu could only nod: "Yes!!"
The applause has already begun! No one can resist!
The Grand Tutor of Yue couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, could you tell me how you calculated this answer? Is there a pattern?" "You haven't figured out that pattern, have you? It took him a long time to figure it out!"
Baili Tang patted his shoulder and smiled meaningfully: "It's a tacit understanding! It's a tacit understanding!"
This scene was seen by the people of Beidan with great displeasure - could it be that the old man from Yue Kingdom had told Baili Tang in advance?
