Chapter 338
341 chapter

In 2010, Li He from Huaguo set a personal total score record of 1052 points.

At present, the closest to this record is 903 points, which was created by a little girl from Huaguo in last year's competition.

Needless to say, the little girl known as the "little devil" by everyone did not participate in this year's World Speed ​​Calculation Contest for unknown reasons.

Even the other two little girls who performed well last year did not appear.

Then, the coaches from various countries realized that their only chance to defeat the Hua Guo team... came!
After nine years of waiting, they finally waited for this day.

So on the night before the game, they each informed their team members that they must perform well on the field tomorrow, show 200% of their strength, defeat the Hua Guo team, and justify their country's quick calculation strength!

Therefore, when the contestants entered the arena one by one, they could see the excited and high-spirited expressions on the faces of the contestants with different skin colors.

With the promotion of the World Abacus and Mental Arithmetic Competition year by year, more and more countries and regions are participating in this competition.

This year, a total of 37 countries and regions participated.

The number of participants from each country is the stipulated ten, so if calculated, a total of 370 players participated in this international competition this year.

With so many contestants, one classroom would definitely not be able to accommodate them.

Therefore, the organizer allocated all the contestants to 5 large classrooms in a random manner.

Cheng Nuo was with Professor No. 3. In addition, there were two other players from the Hua Guo team in the same classroom as him, and the other one happened to be An Nuoyi.

"Big brother, come on!" An Nuoyi clenched his fists and cheered.

"Well, Nuoyi wants to work hard too!" Cheng Nuo smiled and nodded.

"Uncle Cheng, come on!" This was another ten-year-old boy.

Cheng Nuo gave the boy a forehead, "Brother!"

…………

At ten o'clock, the game begins.

Cheng Nuo tore open the file bag on the table, took out the test paper, lowered his head, and answered the questions quickly.

Although Cheng Nuo was very confident in his own strength, after all, he hadn't done serious mental calculations for almost a year and a half, so he should try his best and leave no room for it.

After all, if he was compared by some nephews and nieces, it wouldn't look good, wouldn't it?

100 basic questions, since they are all called "basic questions", they must be the most basic questions.

The first question is just the simplest mixed operation of addition and subtraction:

【5117+2387-1475+3144-1225+……=？】

With a simple glance at the 10 four-digit addition and subtraction operations, Cheng Nuo wrote down the answer on the test paper.

2557!

While writing the answer to the first question, Cheng Nuo's eyes began to scan the second question.

This is a strategy commonly used by the Huaguo national team players at present.

After all, writing the answer is a brainless mechanical action that basically does not consume any brain power. In this case, why not use this time to calculate the answer to the next question.

In this way, although one or two questions will not save much time, but if this order of magnitude is placed in units of hundreds, the time saved will be considerable.

But... After trying a couple of questions, Cheng Nuo gave up on this approach.

Because, too slow!
Yes, it's just too slow. Such a strategy can't fully utilize his powerful strength of quick calculation.

Therefore, Cheng Nuo leaned back slightly, and landed the realization on the ten questions on the upper half of the left half page. In his mind, the ten paragraphs of calculations started at the same time.

【22178+58712-87100+84712...=? 】

【11447*8752108=? 】

…………

【58711232*54712=? 】

In an instant, Cheng Nuo got ten results.

One eye and ten lines. This is really one eye and ten lines.

The quick calculations of other players are "eating what is in the bowl and thinking about what is in the pot", which is called a two-pronged approach.

Cheng Nuoke was amazing. He ate what was in the bowl and the pot and took what was in other people's pots. He spent the same time as others, but calculated ten times as many problems as others.

Fortunately, the answer needs to be written by hand after all. This is the only restriction imposed on Cheng Nuo by the rules, otherwise he will take off directly.

Swish, swish, swish!
With one hundred questions, Cheng Nuo could solve them in about a minute.But it would take Cheng Nuo a lot of time to write the answer by hand.

Cheng Nuo's hand speed wasn't slow, but it wasn't particularly fast either.

So he was faced with a very painful thing - the speed of his hands could not keep up with the speed of his brain.

what to do?Write hard!

It took Cheng Nuo more than seven minutes to write more than 100 sets of numbers.

Eight and a half minutes into the competition, Cheng Nuo suddenly stood up from his seat, walked onto the podium, and under the surprised eyes of the black judge, submitted the answers to the basic questions and took away the first additional question paper.

Each additional question paper contains 50 difficult questions, each worth one point.

Three minutes later, before the black judge recovered, Cheng Nuo's figure appeared again, submitted the first additional question, and took away the second.

For the rest of the time, Cheng Nuo kept walking to the front to take the questions at the speed of 3 minutes for each additional question.

Every time the black judge saw Cheng Nuo coming up, he felt his heart pounding.

This speed, Nima, is it human?
Once again, Risk, a black judge, saw Cheng Nuo stepping onto the podium.

Riske was already a little numb in his heart, so he pretended not to see anything and continued to stare at the newspaper in his hand.

But, suddenly, he heard the boy talking to himself, in English.

Cheng Nuo pointed to the podium and asked, "Hello, the topic... seems to be gone!"

…………

In an office on the top floor of the building where the competition is located, the president of the World Federation of Abacus and Mental Arithmetic is drinking tea and chatting with coaches from several major countries, and waiting for the end of the exam.

"Hong, I heard that the three little girls in your team did not participate in this year's competition last year. Why? You must know that their performance last year was very impressive." Leondi, the president of the Abacus and Mental Arithmetic Association, asked with a smile.

Hong Zhong smiled lightly, "President Leondi, our team did have some problems this year, but I'm sure we will defend our title again this year!"

"Hehe, I hope the facts are as Coach Hong expected." Another team leader with a black complexion said, but the smile on his face was very unkind, "However, I don't know if Coach Hong thinks that our opponents are too weak, so he sent Letting a 20-year-old player lower your team's score."

"However, Coach Hong seems to underestimate us. You know, last year's No.2 team was only about 20 points away from your Huaguo team. And your [-]-year-old player may only be able to complete the basics. Question!"

Coach Hong's expression didn't change, "No way, it's because I dare not underestimate the enemy that I asked Cheng Nuo to come out!"

"Cheng Nuo?" the black coach muttered, "Is this the name of the overage player?"

dong dong dong~~!

During the conversation, there was a hasty knock on the door outside.

"Come in!" President Leondi shouted angrily.

The black judge was so angry that Riske pushed the door open and walked in, shouting, "President, President, it's not good. Our question bank is empty!"

"The answer is empty!" President Leondi slammed the table and stood up, his eyes widened, as if something unbelievable had stopped.

You know, in order to prepare for this competition, he specially prepared an additional question bank consisting of 1000 questions.

Now someone tells themselves that the question bank is empty? !
You know, the highest record holder in history, that is, Li He from Huaguo, just answered 587 additional questions and got 552 additional points.

"Who has answered the question bank empty?" President Leondi asked hurriedly.

Ricks answered, "That contestant's name is... Cheng Nuo!"
