Chapter 144 Gold Medal (0.1%)

Thursday, June 2015, 1.

Sponsored by the American Physical Society and the American Astronomical Society, the final results of the physics academic competition for undergraduates from all over the world have been announced.

Chen Zhou only went to the official website to check the published information after Yang Yiyi reminded him.

"We are pleased to announce the results of the 1931th University Physics Competition...In this year's competition, we received a total of 917 submissions for review. Among them, 1014 teams chose 'Problem A - Surrounding Double Stars', [-] teams selected 'Problem B - Fountain'."

"In addition, there are 13 teams that did not send their thesis documents until after the competition. After reviewing, we decided to list them as 'competitors with achievements'. As for the 60 teams that did not send relevant documents after registration. This team will miss out on any awards."

"For Question A, the gold medalist team is: Team 413, Chen Zhou, Yang Yiyi and Fang Jieming."

"Institution: Yenching University."

"Instructor: Manandun."

"For question B..."

The gold medalist team for problem B is a participating team from Jacobs University Bremen.

As in Problem A, there is only one team of gold medalists for both problems.

After that, there is information about winning the silver medal.

Chen Zhou searched for a while, and found "LILI" in the list of silver medals, it should be Li Li.

I skipped other people's information, and turned directly to the end of the official website information, where there is a summary of the overall award information.

“在2014年大学物理竞赛提交的1931篇论文中，有2个队（0.1%）被评为金牌获得者，76个队（3.9%）被评为银牌获得者，189个队（9.8%）被评为铜牌获得者，542个队（28%）被评为优秀选手……”

After Chen Zhou finished reading it, he felt that this shit is a bit tragic...

Didn’t the previous rules say 2% of gold medals and 15%-20% of silver medals?Is it a fool?

The sum of gold, silver and copper is less than 15%, right?
Chen Zhou shook his head slightly. Sure enough, the official words were unbelievable.

It is estimated that he said so to attract the participating teams.

However, this also shows from the side how difficult it is to win gold from so many teams in the world.

Just when Chen Zhou was about to close the page, he heard Li Li's voice: "Chen Zhou, your team won the gold medal. It's amazing!"

Hearing Li Li's words, Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli exclaimed at the same time: "What? Brother Chen (Zhou) won the gold medal?"

Li Li pointed to his computer: "Look, the gold medalist team of Question A."

Unlike the silver and bronze medalists, the photos of the gold medalist team are posted on the official website.

So, when Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli turned their heads, they saw Chen Zhou in the photo.

The two said in unison: "Fuck, awesome!"

Immediately, Zhao Qiqi turned her head and said to Chen Zhou: "Brother Chen, do you see what I said? Under the same conditions, the probability of your winning the gold is the same. If not, you will win the gold..."

Before Zhao Qiqi finished speaking, she stopped, turned to Li Li and asked, "What about you, didn't you win the gold?"

Li Li replied: "No, I am a silver medalist. There is only one team for the gold medalists of the two topics..."

Zhao Qiqi was slightly taken aback, then frowned and said, "No, isn't this competition saying that the gold medal winning rate is around 2%? If there is only one team, how can the gold medal winning rate be 2%?"

Like Chen Zhou, Zhao Qiqi discovered this official blind spot.

Zhu Mingli then said: "It is estimated that the official has lowered the winning rate in order to increase the gold content of the competition."

Zhao Qiqi nodded: "It should be like this, otherwise, based on my equivalent conversion, Li Li, you are definitely a gold medal!"

I thought Li Li would also sigh, and blame the officials for not following the rules in order to increase the gold content.

Unexpectedly, Li Li slid the mouse and clicked a page.

On the page, it is the English introduction of the UPC competition.

Li Li pulled the page to the end, and it was a message "We sincerely hope that college students can have great enthusiasm for physics!"

Behind the message is a date "November 1, 2010".

Li Li pointed to this date and said: "The UPC competition has only started a few years ago. This rule was formulated by the first competition and released on November 2010, 11. The results of the first competition are not much different from this rule. , less than 1 teams participated. Two gold medals for each of the two questions, which is almost 100%. Including the second session, there are almost 2 teams.”

"The rapid expansion of the participating teams only started in the past two sessions. And..."

As he said that, Li Li refreshed another page, which was the results of the 13 competition.

There are two gold medalist teams in question A.

After Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli saw it, they looked at each other without speaking.

Li Li said again: "It's not that the competition party didn't follow the rules, it's just that our participating teams haven't reached the strength to win the gold medal."

After a pause, Li Li continued: "Actually, when I saw the photos of planets in the inner orbits taken by Chen Zhou, I knew that this was the result. Chen Zhou and his team deserved the gold medal!"

After finishing speaking, Li Li looked at Chen Zhou. He was convinced that Chen Zhou won the gold medal in this competition.

In particular, he can see how much work Chen Zhou has done in their team.

After all, they are all in the same computer room.

Now this result, he thinks it is the best compliment to Chen Zhou.

Zhao Qiqi also said: "Brother Chen is really awesome, the first time he participated in the competition, he won the gold medal!"

Zhu Mingli: "Indeed, it deserves its name!"

Chen Zhou smiled slightly: "Our team is doing okay..."

Li Li smiled softly, but did not speak.

Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli looked at each other again.

After the results of the UPC competition are announced, the winning teams will receive corresponding certificates.

The certificate will be mailed to the address used by the participating teams when registering.

Typical delivery time is 1 to 3 weeks.

Chen Zhou didn't care too much about the certificate. Anyway, the result has already been released, and whether he has a certificate is not very important.

Now he just wants to ask Dean Yang about this question that he has been waiting for for more than 20 days.

However, he didn't have Dean Yang's phone number, and he didn't know where Dean Yang's office was.

Just as she was about to call Yang Yiyi to inquire, Yang Yiyi called again.

"Hello, Yiyi?"

"Hey, Chen Zhou, Professor Manandun called me just now and told me that Dean Yang is looking for someone from our team."

"President Yang looking for us?"

"Well, come out now, I'll call the senior again, we will meet in front of the dormitory building."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhou looked at the phone and thought to himself, there is no need to ask for someone, he will find it by himself...

　In the future, the time will be updated every day, and it will be changed to evening, and the two chapters will be published together.

　　There are still 13 more chapters to be added, this month will be finished, I promise!
