I wanted to be a bad actor in the anime, but I failed.

"Damn it! The topic of this competition is clearly to serve Xiuzhi College!"

"How can our students solve such a difficult and weird question?!"

After the competition.

Mathematics departments at all major universities also received the competition test papers and started working on them to know in advance how their students performed.

This made them angry.

The answers to many questions are mathematical symbols that students have not learned.

Most of the questions are beyond the scope of the syllabus.

What is particularly outrageous is that the last question is about Greek.

Damn the Greek math problems!

Not only the school was criticizing this competition exam, but after the incident fermented, the entire Internet was criticizing this exam for having huge problems.

But a few days later, the official positive response silenced them all.

Mathematics competition.

It tests students' mathematical abilities and selects mathematical geniuses.

Without exception, the contestants are all in their golden learning period, but this period will end soon, which means that the contestants' learning ability will decline a lot.

No matter how talented he is, his shining time is limited, just like the story of Zhongyong.

Therefore, this competition selects participants who have deeper mathematical attainments than their peers in this age group.

In other words, the geniuses who have specialized in mathematics since childhood are basically the main candidates selected for this competition.

If anyone is dissatisfied, then you must also obey.

As for how many potential geniuses will be buried by this approach.

There are so many people in the country, so there are naturally countless geniuses, and we won’t lack any of them.

This is a cruel, one-sided and dark response.

It makes sense, but it also doesn't make sense.

At least, the authorities responded.

It’s just that many people are angry but dare not speak out.

For ordinary people, the cost of studying only mathematics throughout their lives is too high and they cannot afford it.

Therefore, this competition was basically dominated by the descendants of mathematical families.

Ordinary families who try to get rich overnight can only despair.

There are also rumors that there is a shady deal in the exam, and that even if you copy the answers, you won’t be able to understand the questions.

Those who ranked at the top must have memorized the answers in advance.

However, after the test rankings were announced, the results were unexpected.

Others get 100 points because the full score is 100; you get 99 points because you can only get 99 points.

The above question will not appear in this competition!

Because the average score of this competition is abnormally low!!

A full score of 100 points! This is the upper limit!

But the highest score for the first place in the competition was only 50 points!

The average score is only 12 points!

The shockingly low average score once again caused doubts all over the Internet!

This kind of result can't prove anything and can't select any talents.

Moreover, the error tolerance rate is too low. What if some people get it right by guessing?

But the official answer is: There is no multiple choice filling in the blanks in this exam, all are essay questions, so there is no such thing as guessing the answer correctly. After an emergency official meeting, it was confirmed that this exam is more valuable than previous ones.

Times are moving forward, but people in the academic community are increasingly finding that the current development of knowledge seems to be approaching ancient times.

The development of mathematics in the world has not been clear so far. Perhaps studying the knowledge heritage left by human ancestors is the way out.

Therefore, it is surprising that these questions are relatively difficult because they do not conform to the type of test questions that current students are trained for a lot. Instead, they pick up difficult mathematical problems in history to test students.

……

The residence of the Shinomiya chaebol.

In a spacious Western aristocratic style boudoir.

Shinomiya Kaguya listened to Hayasaka Ai's report.

As an electronics idiot, it was impossible for her to look up online information about the competition on her own.

This math problem was quite difficult and she felt like cursing, but fortunately she had received a good education since childhood and was able to remain a lady.

But when she heard Hayasaka Ai's report of the abusive comments on the Internet, she felt very happy.

First, someone scolded her.

Second, it seems that no one did very well in the exam.

There are 6 questions in total in the competition.

The first five questions are worth 5 points each, and the last Greek math question is worth 10 points.

Having received a retro education, Kaguya Shinomiya thought she could answer the first five questions perfectly.

But that last Greek math problem left those who didn’t understand it confused, and those who understood it even more confused.

Kaguya Shinomiya, who is proficient in many languages, can naturally understand the question, but after understanding it, she is still stupid.

Is this a math problem?

No matter how you look at it, there seem to be multiple answers.

This kind of problem is simply a nightmare for an education that follows a step-by-step approach!

This is equivalent to asking someone to prove from scratch that a mathematical conclusion is correct.

As a result, Sigong, who had been full of confidence during his speech just now, became desperate and gave random answers by guessing.

Sure enough, after the results came out, she sighed.

Questions 1 to 4 are all worth full marks.

Question 5: 9 points

Question 6: 0 points

She is the only legend who ranks second with 49 points!

"Humph, no matter how difficult this level of competition is, I will definitely win first place. As long as our school's championship streak is not broken, nothing else matters."

Shinomiya Kaguya said arrogantly.

"But, Miss." Hayasaka Ai looked embarrassed, "You are the second place..."

"……Eh?"

"First place: 50 points, 1 point higher than you."

“…Huh?” Shinomiya Kaguya was petrified on the spot.

"impossible?"

"Is it absolutely impossible?"

"How could anyone be one point higher than me?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head in disbelief, as if she had fallen into a trance.

She believed that in this world, no one of her age could be better than her in the fields she had dabbled in!

"Who is the first place?" asked Kaguya Shinomiya.

“Officials have not released the name.”

"There is definitely something fishy going on!! I don't accept it! I don't accept it!"

Shinomiya Kaguya held her head and screamed, completely changing her previous confident and arrogant appearance, and began to doubt the world.

"There is no one in this world under the age of 18 who is stronger than me! This is an accident!! This is a coincidence!!"

"Damn it, he must be blessed by the goddess of luck! He must have guessed the first five questions correctly!"

In Kaguya Shinomiya's view, the full score of this competition was only 50 points, and no one would be able to answer the last question correctly.

Not even Newton, Einstein, Euclid, Pythagoras, Gauss, or even God can solve it!

So she had a preconceived notion that the first place winner got 50 points because he got full marks in the first five questions.

“Hayasaka! Check for me! Check for me who the number one is!”

Kaguya Shinomiya, overcome with strong jealousy, became murderous.

In addition, she was kidnapped not long ago, and the criminal has not been caught yet, which makes her very angry.

She had a heroic ambition that if she killed the number one, she would become the number one herself.

This made Hayasaka Ai suddenly understand why the official ranking was anonymous.

"Miss, please calm down."

"Check it for me! Check it for me! Check it for me!!"

Bing Huiye, who is cold and arrogant outside, likes to act unreasonably when she gets home.

Hayasaka Ai couldn't do anything to her.

"I think it's better not to worry about these things. There are still many competitions to come, such as Kyudo, Aikido, Karate, etc."

"No! No! This is very important! This is the first time someone has scored one point higher than me!!"

Shinomiya Kaguya was acting coquettishly, but suddenly she sat up straight, returned to her cold queen appearance and spoke slowly.

"Huh, this first place has successfully caught my attention."

I think it's better for you not to pay attention to it. Your life is more important! Miss!

Hayasaka Ai looked at the message sent by the second owner on the phone and thought silently.
