she is sweeter than sugar

Gu Ci's final answer to the first question is correct.

And the steps... The invigilators haven't seen it yet, but when the invigilators did it just now, the steps were not so simple.

His eyes couldn't help but freeze on the steps of Gu Ci's topic.

From the beginning to the end, Gu Ci's steps were different from his.

The two of them are using two completely different methods to solve this problem.

But the same goal by different routes, the final answer is correct.

The invigilator's eyes fell on Gu Ci's answering thought, the more he looked, the deeper the surprise in his eyes.

Gu Ci's thinking is much simpler than his.

However, it is not an easy task to think of this breakthrough point.

Gu Ci thought of it.

The invigilator couldn't help but glanced at the time again.

He was not mistaken, until now, only more than 40 minutes have passed.

In other words, Gu Ci finished a question in 10 minutes on average.

It's still such an ingenious way of thinking.

In all fairness, it would take a lot of time for the invigilators to think of using this method.

At least... this time is definitely not within an hour.

It's even possible that if he doesn't pay attention to Gu Ci's thinking, he still can't think of it in the end.

The invigilators couldn't help looking down again.

Doing the questions by yourself and looking at other people's answer sheets are two completely different situations.

The former needs to think hard for a long time alone to get the idea, while the latter only needs to follow the ideas that others have used to know whether the question is right or wrong.

Of course, if you don't have a good foundation, you may be led astray by wrong ideas.

The invigilators knew that they had no way to solve all these Mathematical Olympiad questions in such a short period of time, but the invigilators also thought that they did not belong to the latter group that would be biased.

The invigilators still have this basic judgment ability.

After 10 minutes, the invigilator finally followed Gu Ci's train of thought and read the solution ideas for the remaining 3 questions.

He couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

Even with Gu Ci's thinking, the invigilators still felt a bit of difficulty after reading these three questions.

It has to be said that the difficulty of the Youth Olympic Games this time is beyond the imagination of the invigilators.

Ashamed to say, for the next two questions, even though he already had Gu Ci's answers and ideas, he still felt a bit of difficulty in understanding them.

Isn't it too embarrassing for this group of students who are only in high school to do such a topic?

Or did he mean that the quality of high school students was already so high before he knew it?

But looking at the candidates who were still contemplating for a long time below but couldn't write a single word, the invigilators felt that the level of this group of students was not much different from before.

People like Gu Ci should be in the minority, right?

It might even be the only one.

However, what the invigilators and most people didn't know was that the reason why the difficulty of the Youth Olympic test papers had been raised to such a high level this time had nothing to do with Gu Ci.

For many years, the Mathematics Association has not encountered a seedling with a perfect score in the Youth Olympic Games.

This time, Gu Ci's perfect score really shocked everyone, especially, Principal Ji even praised Gu Ci so much.

As a result, the proposition group of the entire Mathematical Association changed the original Chinese-simplified difficulty test paper to a high-difficulty test paper overnight, and even... raised the difficulty of the last question by a degree.

They are very eager to see where this student's ability is.

It's just that it has suffered a lot of students.

They were undoubtedly desperate when they found that the title was so perverted.

But there is no other way, and I can only bite the bullet and write down.

Among them, Gu Zhiran was undoubtedly the hardest hit.

Looking at the question types on the test paper that she had never encountered before, her mind went blank.

These days, she has no time to study the Olympiad questions at all, so she can only pick the "key points" to learn.

For Gu Zhiran, who was in charge of the printing this time, everything had already been commissioned.

But why... the questions on the test paper handed out now are completely different from the ones she got before?

The test papers for the Youth Olympic Games are divided into paper A and paper B. In order to be sure, Gu Zhiran specially read all the steps and answers of the two papers.

But what is going on now?

Not to mention the questions, even the question types are not the same!

After staring at the 4 questions, Gu Zhiran still couldn't see that it had anything to do with the A-book and B-book she did earlier...

Gu Zhiran's mind was buzzing, she could clearly recognize all the words on the test paper, but Gu Zhiran didn't recognize them together.

She tried her best to calm down and concentrate on solving the problem by herself.

But what happened today was so unexpected that Gu Zhiran never thought about this possibility at all!

The more you try to calm yourself down, the more you can't calm down.

When the bell rang for the end of the exam, Gu Zhiran was in a daze.

In her ears, other people's voices continued to enter her mind.

"This year's topic is too difficult, why do I feel that this year's topic is not at the same level as the previous ones?"

"Ah? I don't think so." His companion said cheerfully.

"My God, am I so stupid?"

"What and what? I mean, I won't do it no matter if it's the previous year's topic or this year's."

"..."

"Hey, have you heard? This time, there was a test that was handed in within 10 minutes!"

"Three or four 10 minutes to hand in the paper, who spreads such unreliable rumors?"

If you talk about taking part in the preliminary test, you may be forced to come here by the teacher, and you are not willing, but those who are really unwilling to participate in the competition have already been eliminated in the first round, and they will never come here at all. come here.

So, how is it possible for someone to hand in the paper in 10 minutes every three or four?

"It's true. My friend was in the same exam room as her. According to what he said, it was simply too scary."

"Could it be a nonsense?"

"Oh, I have another piece of news for you. It seems that she was the one who got full marks in the first round of the Youth Olympic Games last time."

Listening to this, the man almost exploded directly.

"What, is she?"

Although there were a lot of examination rooms in the preliminary examination of the Youth Olympic Games, full marks were extremely rare.

Therefore, as soon as his companion mentioned it, he immediately remembered who it was.

Gu Zhiran, who heard it from the side, immediately thought of Gu Ci.

There is probably no one else but him.

Her fists were clenched quietly, and the depths of her eyes were extremely dark...
