Start With a Fake University

After the competition committee gave [Question A] to all participating college teams, the players from the 34 college participating teams immediately stood up.

　　 "This question is not difficult."

　　 After listening to Chen Jun’s analysis, Xu Bin took a look at the question himself, and then quickly started writing a program to answer the question.

　　 Everything seems to be going well.

　　 Xu Bin’s fingers danced on the computer keyboard at an extremely fast speed. With his eyes almost open, he could write program codes based on the things in his mind without looking at anything.

　　 In Xu Bin's view, answering this question is like having a fixed formula, but some confusion may appear on the way to the completion of the formula.

　　 But Xu Bin is very accurate in judging these confusing phenomena, and there are Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen around him who are doing a comprehensive analysis of this [Question A].

　　 Therefore, Xu Bin's answering ideas must be completely unquestionable.

Moreover.

　　 This [Question A] is the simplest one among all the questions in this ACM competition. If it can't be solved or it is wrong, it is really funny.

　　 About ten minutes passed.

　　 Xu Bin is still in the final stage of answering questions.

　　 At this time in the competition, the competition committee has not announced that a college has successfully answered the questions, and everyone is busy answering the questions.

　　嘀!

　　 Suddenly, there was a sound in the arena.

　　 Then, in the broadcast of the stadium, the competition committee announced the first college to answer [Question A].

　　 "Congratulations to St. Petersburg State University for successfully answering [Question A]. It took a few seconds to become the first answering team for [Question A]. Congratulations!"

　　 Following the announcement of the competition committee, a balloon marked "FIRST-PROBLEM-SOLVED" suddenly rose up at the place where the St. Petersburg State University team was located.

　　 [Question A] was solved in a matter of seconds, which can be said to have given enough pressure to the participating teams from other colleges and universities.

　　 However, Xu Bin didn't panic at all.

　　 He knew very well that if he panicked a little bit, he would waste his time to solve this [Question A].

[Question A] The time given by the competition committee is to solve as quickly as possible within 30 minutes. After all, the entire game will take 5 hours and at least seven questions. This means that each question has its own time. limit.

　　 If this program problem cannot be solved within the prescribed 30 minutes, then the results of the first problem will not be obtained, and basically it will be declared that it has missed the championship.

　　 That is to say.

　　 If you want to win the championship of the ACM competition, you not only need to answer every question correctly, but also use as little time as possible as efficiently as possible.

　　 In the end, the team that answers all the questions and takes the least time will win the championship.

　　 After St. Petersburg State University was the first to solve [Question A] in seconds, the participating teams of some universities, like Xu Bin, were very calm.

　　 There are also some participating teams from colleges and universities panicking.

　　 "Ou buy Karma, is it so fast?"

"This......"

　　 "St. Petersburg State University is really amazing. It is indeed a champion university that has won many ACMs!"

　　 "Gosh, second, this is too scary."

　　 These college teams who have already started to panic are already a little desperate.

　　Because it is really difficult for them to compete with St. Petersburg State University.

　　 He was in the lead on the first question. If you want to catch up with each of the following questions, it is not so easy.

　　 About two minutes later, the competition committee announced the second university that submitted the answer and was judged to be AC, which means passed.

　　 "The second university that passed [Topic A] is: California Institute of Technology, in seconds."

　　 The strength of California Institute of Technology from the Eagle Sauce Country is naturally beyond doubt, becoming the second college team to solve [Question A].

　　 "Director Xu, how long do we need?"

　　 Chen Jun looked at Director Xu Bin Xu who was serious about writing code to solve the problem, and he was curious.

　　 "It's coming soon. When I participate in the competition for the first time, there may be some hand skills, and the speed is temporarily unable to keep up. Just get familiar with it."

　　 Xu Bin replied.

The reason why he didn’t solve [Question A] quickly was not because [Question A] was difficult, but because Xu Bin was on the stage of this ACM competition for the first time, and he was more or less unfamiliar and mentality. And the environment will cause Xu Bin's problem-solving speed to be slower.

　　 But as long as you get used to it quickly, after you enter the state, this kind of question will be solved.

　　嘀!

　　 "Haicheng Jiaotong University passed [Question A], in seconds!"

　　嘀!

　　 "Moscow State University passed [Topic A], in seconds!"

　　 hiss!

　　 This can not help but let the audience take a breath. It is unexpected that Xia Guo’s Haicheng Jiaotong University and Mao Xiongguo’s Moscow State University are only two seconds apart.

　　 These two universities are also well-known universities that have won championships in the ACM competition.

　　 Xu Bin basically does not pay attention to external information, and he is immersed in the process of answering [Question A].

　　 Gradually, Xu Bin found the feeling of indulging in silky smoothness.

　　 "Submit!"

　　 From the time Xu Bin clicked on submit, it means that the time for Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences to answer [Question A] is suspended. If the jury of the competition committee passes the judgement, the submission time is the time used by Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences to answer the question.

　　 If the answer is wrong, it will be returned by the judges. There is a chance to continue answering the question again. This time will continue to be connected to the previous answering time.

　　 Soon, Xu Bin’s computer received feedback from the jury of the competition committee-AC!

　　 means to pass!

　　 "Kirishi University of Arts and Sciences passed [Question A], in seconds!"

　　 As the broadcast in the center of the stadium sounded, Ding Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the result.

　　 Because Xu Bin participated in ACM for the first time, tension and other factors may cause the answering speed to be slower.

　　 But it was not as slow as expected. Compared with the ace-level college teams such as Haicheng Jiaotong University and Moscow State University, it was about 20 seconds slower.

　　 Compared to the St. Petersburg State University that first solved [Question A], it was less than five minutes away.

　　 These are all opportunities to come back later, so Ding Yue will not be so pessimistic.

　　 For his good brother Xu Bin, Ding Yue must be optimistic and confident. Otherwise, the more nervous, the more likely to be disappointed.

　　 "Principal Ding, what is our level of time performance in seconds?"

Wen Ruohan, the secretary on the side, didn’t know much about the rules and results of the competition. Seeing that he had passed the first [Question A] of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, and the time-consuming results came out, he was curious to say to President Ding. .

　　 "Mid-upper level." Ding Yue glanced at Wen Ruohan and replied with a smile.

　　 "In other words, with the following topic, there is a chance to catch up with the time, right?" After Huang Youjie heard this, he was still full of expectations for the final result.

　　 was completely thrown away at least without getting on the first question, and thus missed the championship.

"Uh, yes, generally speaking, if it takes more than 20 minutes, it will be a little difficult to catch up later. If it takes more than 25 minutes, then there is basically nothing to play. After all, the time for a topic is basically about 30 minutes. The difficult ones may take up to an hour."

　　 Ding leaped and nodded, briefly explaining to Lao Huang and Wen Ruohan.

　　 "The University of Cape Town answers [Question A]——WA!"

　　 Suddenly, there was a notification from the jury of the competition committee from the center of the stadium, and unexpectedly the first university that answered [Question A] incorrectly appeared.

　　 "The University of Cape Town? The one in Africa?" When Ding Yuechu heard the name of this university, he felt a little familiar.

　　At this time, Huang Youjie nodded and said, "The university in South Africa seems to be quite capable. It is still a member of the World University League."

　　 "Why did you get the wrong answer even for the first [Question A]?" Wen Ruohan muttered curiously.

　　 For the large number of live audiences and those who watched the game through other online channels, the first question of the ACM competition, that is [Question A], is obviously the most difficult, so it is not impossible to solve such a problem, right?

　　 Most of the participating college teams solved this problem in about 20 minutes.

　　Only the University of Cape Town, from South Africa, actually answered this question incorrectly, and it took more than 30 minutes in the end.

　　 This also means that the University of Cape Town in South Africa has almost become the first university to be eliminated.

　　Because they didn't get any results on the first question, even if they wanted to get it back later, it was more difficult.

　　 However, even though the team from the University of Cape Town answered [Question A] incorrectly, they can continue to participate in the competition to solve each of the following questions.

　　 ACM's competition system does not have rules such as elimination, that is, timing, and correct and wrong answers, or other special circumstances. Every college has the right to participate in the answers to all questions throughout the competition.

　　 Of course, in fact, there is another option for colleges and universities that have not solved [Question A] at this time, and that is to leave directly.

　　 However, the University of Cape Town will obviously not choose this way. Instead of leaving the field, it is better to continue to answer every subsequent question, although at this moment, it is basically out of the championship.

　　 It would be a bit embarrassing to leave the scene directly.

　　 "Computer major at the University of Cape Town does not seem to be an ace major, right?" Huang Youjie muttered.

　　 "But even so, the [topic A] other 33 colleges and universities have answered the questions correctly. Only the University of Cape Town has answered the wrong question, which is outrageous. I think the University of Cape Town may be funny."

　　 Ding Yue couldn't help but jokingly said.

　　 directly planted on [Title A], isn’t that ridiculous enough?

　　 Half an hour has passed since the start of the competition, and the time given by the committee for the first question is over.

　　 Next, it means that [Question B] is about to appear.

　　 will be more difficult.

　　 "From now on, the competition committee will provide [Question B] for participating teams in universities, and all participating teams can complete the answer within 30 minutes at most!"

　　 With the announcement of the competition committee, [Question B] officially debuted.

　　 Obviously [Question B] is not difficult at all for the top and prestigious college teams. They naturally have to challenge the last two or three questions.

Ding Yue observed through observation that whether it was a few participating universities in Mao Xiong Country, a few universities in Yingjiang Country, and a few universities in Europe, they basically showed their state when facing [Topic B]. There is no pressure.

Of course.

　　 For Xia Guo’s participating teams, Haicheng Jiaotong University is also no pressure. [Question B] is indeed relatively simple for them.

　　 What's going on at Northwestern University of Science and Technology Ding Yue didn't know, because Ding Yue saw the three members of their Northwest University of Science and Technology participating team, their expressions had always been frozen and looked a little nervous.

In the end, Ding Yue set his sights on the competition area of ​​Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences. He looked at Xu Bin, Chen Jun, and Ouyang Chen in a relaxed and relaxed manner. They were not nervous at all, and they had already begun to skillfully solve this problem [Question B ] Again.

　　 Chen Jun analyzes [topic B], and Ouyang Chen assists Chen Jun, and then Xu Bin compiles the problem-solving program based on the [topic] analyzed by Chen Jun.

　　 The whole process was very fluid, and Xu Bin also gradually entered the state because of the first question.

　　 Therefore.

　　 Now Xu Bin has almost mastered the number of ways to solve problems by typing code programs. If he is proficient, it is time to spend time with other universities.

　　 "The University of Cape Town submits [Question B] Problem-solving procedures, WA!"

　　 Suddenly, about eight or nine minutes later, there was a notification sound from the competition committee.

　　 The University of Cape Town actually submitted the problem-solving program for [Question B] in less than ten minutes, and the result was still WA! That is an error!

　　 "Hahahaha!"

　　 "What is the University of Cape Town doing?"

　　 "Wrong answer again?"

　　 "I see, the University of Cape Town is here to join in the fun this time!"

　　 "Oumaika, what happened to the participating team of the University of Cape Town?"

　　 "It is a pity that the University of Cape Town should have missed the championship of this year's ACM competition."

　　 Regardless of the netizens who are following the ACM competition at home and abroad, UU reading www.uukanshu.com feels a bit "funny" about the University of Cape Town's performance in [Topic A] and [Topic B].

　　 "Brother Yue, I'm sure, this University of Cape Town is here to make fun, hahahaha!" Huang Youjie couldn't help laughing.

　　 Ding jumped to be a little more careful, and looked at the three players from the University of Cape Town team.

　　 The three contestants were very frustrated and annoyed when they learned that the problem-solving program was wrong.

　　 It can be seen that they didn't seem to be here for fun.

　　 but it's true...

　　 The strength is not good!

"Lao Huang, maybe people are really limited because of their limited ability. As far as I know, the computer major of the University of Cape Town is really not very good. They can get the qualification for this ACM competition. I think it should be Cape Town. The reputation of the University of London is relatively large in Africa, there is really no better recommendation."

　　 Ding Yue's rational old Huang said.

"Brother Yue, what you said seems to make sense. From [Question A] to [Question B], you can see that their strength is very average. I still hope that Abin and the others can solve this [Question B] quickly. Right."

　　嘀!

　　 "Congratulations..."

　　 Just when Huang Youjie’s voice fell, [Question B] was the first college team to solve it.
