Chapter 268 Second Round

"In the international Olympic competition, there is actually a hidden scoring rule."

Old Wang said.

"Hidden scoring rules? Is it related to overscore?"

Su Li reacted instantly.

"Ah."

Lao Wang nodded and explained, "In the history of the competition, there have been people who have scored higher than 42 points. However, there is no unified judgment on whether to exceed the score, and it will be decided together with the examination team."

"Of course, the premise of exceeding the score is that you must first get the full score."

This is natural.

Su Li understood what Lao Wang said, if you didn't even get full marks, then don't even think about over-scores.

in the afternoon.

The report card is out.

The person in charge simply posted it on the school journal so that everyone can see their grades.

Immediately afterwards, a noteworthy achievement was noticed by all the teachers and students.

Su Li, 42 points, Huaguo.

It is not easy to cause a sensation with a few simple words.

All the teachers and students were dumbfounded.

This is the only perfect score in the audience.

The second place is just the mixed-race girl named Ellie with 40 points.

Immediately after was another examinee from Huaguo, a girl named Xiao Yue, with 39 points.

This girl impresses everyone.

Because even foreigners with western aesthetics have to admit that this girl named Xiao Yue has a very amazing appearance.

"This is impossible!"

After John saw the report card, his expression froze.

He is not surprised by his achievements.

38 points.

Fourth place.

Geniuses like them basically have an accurate guess about their own scores after they leave the examination room.

and so.

38 points, within my expectations.

What surprised him was the person who ranked first.

Su Li.

42 points!
The only full score in the audience.

Such an achievement is nothing short of astonishing.

Even the proud John has to be amazed by this full of heartfelt love.

because.

He is the examinee who made this paper himself, and he is very clear about the difficulty of it.

It is extremely difficult to get full marks.

But Su Li actually did it.

"It seems that I still underestimate him."

John sighed softly, ashamed of himself for belittling him the night before.

"Wow! You are amazing."

Ai Li stood beside Su Li, she had a pair of star eyes, matched with blue pupils, people couldn't help looking into her eyes.

At this moment, Ellie is like a little girl, her tone of voice is not fake.

This is a very simple girl.

There was no disagreement due to national borders, just seeing Su Li's perfect score was amazing.

Such a person is very suitable for academic research.

Su Li looked at the other party, and couldn't help but have such a judgment in his heart.

The corners of the mouths of the people around couldn't help twitching when they saw this scene.

Can't help but look at Ellie more.

I wonder if I thought you did poorly in the exam.

but.

The way they looked at Su Li was indeed very complicated.

Because they have already recognized him, this person is the first examinee to hand in the paper.

At the same time not even an hour.

The one in the same examination room as Su Li even laughed at himself, a very bitter smile.

When they saw that Su Li had handed in the exam ahead of time, they thought that the latter would not do it, so they gave up the exam.

Unexpectedly, the clowns were themselves.

Others really finished writing and handed in a full score answer sheet.

"I thought he was messed up before, but it turned out that I was the one who screwed up."

"Hey, I saw that he handed in the paper early, so I had the idea of ​​handing in the paper. If I had known that I would sit until the end of the exam."

"I can only say, brothers, we are fooled."

"No wonder he turned in the papers ahead of time with a calm expression on his face. Dare is confident."

"..."

Some people whispered and glanced at Su Li from time to time, mostly with envy in their eyes.

"According to this situation, the results of this year's Huaguo individual competition are stable, and a gold medal has already been obtained."

"Indeed, Hua Guo, the candidate named Su Li, is top-notch in personal strength, and it seems that no one can beat him."

"However, the strength of the other four Huaguo players seems not enough."

"That's right, Huaguo is first and third, but the total score is not in the forefront. It is obvious that the other four are holding back."

"Not necessarily, if their team is eliminated in the next round, then Su Li will not be eligible to participate in the individual competition."

"..."

"I knock, this kid really got a perfect score!"

Li Hua received such news when he was still in class, and almost cried out.

At first he thought Su Li was bragging, but he didn't expect it to be real.

The only full score in the audience.

This is simply awesome!

"It seems that I underestimated this junior."

Li Hua whispered in his heart.

……

in the lounge.

Lao Wang came back with the report card.

"The ranking statistics are out, we have passed the play-in round, and the next step is the knockout round."

It was a good thing to pass the play-in competition, but everyone's faces were not so good because of it.

Especially Luo Yi, Fang Wei, Gan Ping, and An Jing, they lowered their heads and remained silent.

There are three rounds in the International Olympic competition.

Play-in, knockout and final final.

The results of the individual competition are calculated from the last round.

The atmosphere in the lounge was dull.

Everyone knows their respective strengths, Luo Yi and the others know very well that there is still a certain gap between the talents of their own and the members of other teams.

In the first round, even with Su Li's pre-training, they only got mediocre results, let alone the next round.

"Be more active."

Su Li said, "It's definitely no problem for us to advance to the final round with our strength. We'll see when the time comes. Now we're ready to get ready for the knockout round."

His words had a certain comforting effect, but Su Li also knew that he really couldn't help much in the next exam.

The people in the questioning team already knew that he had the ability to bet on the questions, so they would inevitably make temporary changes to this, and his previous training of the team members would lose a lot of meaning.

What's more, it depends on Luo Yi's own comprehension ability.

The atmosphere in the lounge eased a lot with Su Li's words.

Everyone started to discuss, and Su Li was among them, helping them to solve some confusions.

Now he is also doing his best to help as much as he can.

……

the other side.

An office at Harvard.

This office is very closed and highly concealed. It is a place specially prepared for this competition.

It is related to the question group, and it is prepared for temporarily changing the competition topic.

now.

There are seven or eight professors sitting in this office, including Kerry.

They all participated in the topic design of this International Olympic Competition and are members of the topic group.

However, one of them was over half a century old, wearing thick glasses, and had a strong scholarly temperament.

His identity was a little different from the others present, he was not a member of the question group, but his identity earned the respect of the professors present.

Scala.

The mathematician of Prussia has a high status in the mathematics world, is a master-level figure, and has written a masterpiece of mathematics.

"This student's thinking is really powerful."

In front of Scala was a laptop and a test paper.

"I have to say that this little guy really knows the Olympiad thoroughly. Whether he solves the problem by himself or from the perspective of the problem, he is very smart and has a very high future achievement."

Hearing this, the rest of the people were shocked.

Such an evaluation from Scala's mouth is already very high.

Being able to get a high evaluation from a mathematics guru at such an age is enough to show the high talent of the person Scala said.

And this person was Su Li.

The two items on the table were also related to Su Li.

The purpose of Scala sitting here is also related to Su Li.

Because of Su Li's notes, the questioning team planned to temporarily change the question type for the next round.

This is not a simple matter, we can only ask Scala to help.

"I understand."

Scala closed the laptop.

"Next, please cooperate with me, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."

He had a smile in his eyes and a confident smile.

"No, it's a surprise for the candidates."

"Ok."

……

night.

Su Li came out of Xiao Yue's room, and the latter approached him to discuss academic issues for the first time.

Su Li didn't hide it. In the team competition, he and Xiao Yue are the main players. As long as their scores go up, they can also raise the team's total score.

This is good for their rankings.

after that.

John and Ellie also passed by his door and greeted him.

Su Li also responded with a smile.

"In the next round, I will strive to surpass you."

Before leaving, this is what John said to Su Li.

"I hope we can make it all the way to the end."

Ai Li smiled, it seems that she knew that several of Su Li's teammates were not strong enough, so she gave her sincere blessings.

the next day.

Because half of the participating teams were eliminated in the play-in competition, the examination room had to be re-divided.

This time.

Su Li and John are in the same examination room.

The invigilator turned into a professor wearing thick glasses, who looked fifty years old, with a kind smile on his face.

but.

For some reason, the way this man looked at him gave Su Li a sense of obedience.

Without thinking too much, Su Li sat down in a window seat as before.

Hand out the test papers.

Su Li took a look.

The difficulty has been improved to a certain extent, and the question type has also been changed. It is a relatively new question.

As expected, Su Li had already guessed that this would happen.

but.

For him, no matter how difficult the problem is, as long as it is still in the category of Mathematical Olympiad, there is no difficulty at all.

"It seems that other people should be found to help change the question."

While reading the question, Su Li guessed in his heart.

Based on his understanding of Mathematical Olympiad, there can only be one reason for wanting to change the question type in just one day.

The question group invited foreign aid.

Moreover, this foreign aid is not simple, and must be an expert in the circle.

Could it be the person standing on the stage?

Su Li couldn't help but looked up at the invigilator, who was still staring at him.

"However, if it's just for the question type you changed, it will only disappoint you."

Su Li lowered his head and continued to read the question.

"It looks like it's going to hurt others."

On the contrary, this is a good thing for Huaguo.

When the difficulty is increased, everyone's scores will be lowered, and the average score will also drop.

And Su Li's score can close the gap between the team's total score and other countries.

"The last round, steady."

A thought flashed by, and Su Li began to write.

……

Just as Su Li expected.

After seeing this paper, all the candidates were instantly stunned.

The topic above is very weird, giving them a feeling that they seem to have seen it before, and it seems that they have never seen it before.

Often speaking, when encountering such questions in the exam, it will be very uncomfortable.

I can't open my mind and can start, but once I write half of it, I don't know how to continue writing.

This is the question type designed by Scala.

And this moment.

This person was looking at all the candidates with a smile on the stage, and he was very satisfied with everyone's reactions.

"It seems that this little guy really has some strength."

In the classroom, Scala glanced across the room, and finally locked on Su Li alone.

The latter is answering the question seriously, and unlike the reactions of the people around him, it seems that his thinking is not hindered, and he looks confident.

Scala's eyes couldn't help showing a little more praise, and Su Li's reaction didn't surprise him.

Although in a sense, this test paper was indeed changed because of Su Li alone.

But before he came out, he already had a certain understanding of Su Li's problem-solving ability.

and so.

If the first few questions had stumped Su Li, then he wouldn't have appeared here.

time flies.

Half an hour passed.

Su Li has already answered the first four questions.

He didn't notice that just behind him, Scala was standing aside, looking at his paper.

The surprise in his eyes became more and more intense.

Read on for a question.

Although I didn't see it very clearly, the result of every question written by Su Li was correct.

And this, only half an hour has passed.

This efficiency is not surprising.

There was already a love for talent in his eyes.

For a mathematical genius like this, no mathematician can't afford Bole's heart.

"The next two questions are the highlight."

A thought flashed in Scala's mind, and then he quietly walked away to inspect the situation of other candidates.

The core of this paper that he handled was the last two big questions.

These two questions are the questions he specially tailored for Su Li. They are more difficult than the first four questions. Moreover, the way of answering the questions will be more weird, and it is easy to lead the candidates into the trap he specially designed in the questions.

at this time.

Kerry walked in.

He has a good relationship with Scala, and he came here on this trip to see what's going on with him.

"What is the situation of the students in other examination rooms?"

Seeing Kerry coming, Scala took the initiative to inquire.

Kerry shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It seems that many people are going to be in trouble, sitting there in a daze, confused."

"You acted too hard this time, and many people's self-confidence will be hit."

heard.

Scala said with a smile: "If they can't face this setback, then they don't need to continue to study in this field."

"That's right."

Kerry nodded and agreed with Scala's words, "Real mathematics is only played by a few people. Not many people will really study it all the time. When they go to university, most people just use the knowledge of mathematics as an auxiliary. In this branch of mathematics, few people do real academic theoretical research in this area.”

"now it's right."

Scala said, "In this round, I don't care much about other people's results. None of you can get full marks in the test papers, and I won't have too much hope for them in this test paper."

"So you mean this kid can still get a perfect score this round?" Kerry asked.

Scala shook her head and said with a smile, "If I hadn't specially designed the last two questions, this kid would have a great chance to get another perfect score."

"However, with the last two questions, it is impossible for him to get full marks, otherwise it would be my failure."

Scala's tone was full of confidence, and he was very confident in the topic he posed.

however.

The two had just finished chatting when they saw Su Li raise his hand.

Immediately afterwards, his voice was heard.

"Teacher, I want to hand in the papers."

The time is fixed at 43 minutes.

Scala and Kerry were stunned when they heard the words.

"Have you finished?"

Scala asked subconsciously.

After seeing Su Li nod, he froze again, his face a little embarrassed.

Just now, he boasted a lot in front of Kerry, saying that it was impossible for Su Li to get a perfect score.

Now he's a little panicked.

Su Li handed in the paper at this time, definitely not because he was unsure.

Most likely already answered.

really.

After taking Su Li's paper, Scala turned directly to the last two questions.

His eyes swept over, gradually covered by surprise.

Su Li wrote the answers to these two questions perfectly, without a single flaw.

Even, in some steps, it was better than he thought.

look up.

Just when I wanted to talk to Su Li on the spot, I found that the other party had disappeared.

Obviously, after handing in the papers, the person left the examination room directly.

Another first submission!
Even earlier than yesterday.

The other candidates were taken aback. Naturally, they will not be the same as they guessed yesterday.

From their point of view, Su Li's early handing in of the test paper could only be an explanation.

So Su Li had already answered these six questions in such a short period of time.

Ugh.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. They are all candidates, and the gap between people is too big.

……

at the same time.

outside the examination room.

Li Hua and Lao Wang waited in the old place.

"Teacher, do you think Su Li will hand in the paper in advance?"

Li Hua kept looking over his head, his expression was a little anxious.

"With his temperament, he will definitely come out after answering."

Pharaoh didn't have much in mind.

He didn't tell Li Hua about the arbitration incident that happened in the conference room yesterday, so the latter didn't know that the second round of papers would only be more difficult than the first round.

Moreover, the topic design must be different from the topics they have practiced in class.

therefore.

Under such conditions, Lao Wang didn't know what was going on in the examination room.

"Someone came out."

At this moment, there was a commotion among the teachers waiting outside.

Looking away, a familiar figure came out from inside.

"It's him again, the one who handed in the paper earlier was also him."

"I didn't expect that the second round was also the first time he handed in the paper, and it was even earlier."

"He won't get another perfect score this time, it's too exaggerated."

"Unfortunately, such students are not in our country."

"..."

Although Lao Wang couldn't understand what these foreigners were talking about, he could guess a thing or two from their reactions, and his face was bright.

Because the person who came out was Su Li.

Lao Wang had a certain understanding of Su Li's character, and he knew that the latter would not come out until he had finished his answer.

"Su Li won't get another full score, right?"

After seeing Su Li's figure, Li Hua said subconsciously.

"What do you think?"

Lao Wang patted his student on the shoulder and smiled.
