Chapter 151 Chicken and Rabbit in the same cage
In the entire banquet hall, only Xiao Chenxuan could answer the question raised by Dong Ming. Then, the final winner was naturally the Chu State envoy. No, except for the Chu State envoy, all the other six countries in the entire banquet hall lost their
Got the chance to get the prize of Western Zhou Dynasty.
Since the Chu State Mission has won, no matter what the intentions of the Tianshun Empire and the Five Kingdoms Mission are, everyone has to pretend to congratulate the Chu State Mission. Of course, the main purpose is to pretend to congratulate Xiao Chenxuan.
After receiving compliments from everyone, Xiao Chenxuan acted like he was the best in the world. He was very arrogant, and everyone kept bowing in return, as if I was already powerful and it was natural to win. Dong Ming was the only one.
, standing there with a sad face, feeling very disappointed. He was the best arithmetic master in China, but today he was defeated by a young man in his 10s and 20s twice in a row. It was not very ironic. Dong Ming suddenly wondered whether he had been sitting in a well and watching the sky.
, Underestimating the world's capable men, Dong Ming, who was continually frustrated, hesitated again and again, turned around, bowed to Emperor Tianshun and Yang Yong, and said.
"Everyone, although the Chu State's envoy won two questions in a row, except for the Chu State's envoy, the other six countries have lost the chance to win the prize of Li Gui of the Western Zhou Dynasty. However, in the next question, if the Chu State's envoy
I can't answer it, and the result is the same. The prize is withdrawn, after all! The prerequisite for winning the prize of Western Zhou Dynasty is that you must answer all three questions correctly, otherwise... haha!"
After hearing Dong Ming's words, except for the Chu State envoy and Xu Qingchen who might have received the Western Zhou Dynasty Gui as a gift from Xiao Chenxuan, everyone else in the banquet hall hoped that Xiao Chenxuan could not answer the last question. In this case, the Western Zhou Dynasty Li Gui would not be
Didn’t any country get it?
Of course, in the entire banquet hall, the person who least expected Xiao Chenxuan to answer the question correctly was Dong Ming. After all, he, the best arithmetic expert in the world, lost three times in a row in a row, mainly because he lost to a guy in his 10s and 20s.
Young man, the premise is that this young man was a dandy with nothing to do a year ago, so it is still difficult for Dong Ming to accept this matter. Thinking of this, Dong Ming bowed respectfully.
"King Ji, can you tell me if you will have such good luck in the future?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chenxuan said with a smile: "Hey, I said, you bad old man, you are really bad, everyone asked an unsolvable question! Can your conscience be at ease? In front of everyone, you are really still like this
Calmly, that's okay. I'd like to see if you have any more difficult questions next. I hope you won't disappoint me again!"
Hearing Xiao Chenxuan's words, Dong Ming didn't believe that Xiao Chenxuan could answer it again, and then Dong Ming said with a sinister smile on his face.
"Okay, I won't say any more unnecessary words! Please listen to me for the last question."
Hearing this, Xiao Chenxuan waved his hand, so what? I still don't believe it. A man of science and engineering in the 21st century would still be afraid. Xiao Chenxuan wants to tell Dong Ming that I have combined the wisdom of thousands of years of capable people and strangers.
Crystal, I'm still afraid of you, an old man.
"Oh, really? No matter what problem you have, I will accept it. I still don't believe that an old man like you can trouble me."
Hearing Xiao Chenxuan's words, Dong Ming did not pick up Xiao Chenxuan's objections at all, and said directly: "Today there are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage. There are thirty-eight heads on the top and ninety-nine legs on the bottom. How many pheasants and rabbits are there?"
After Dong Ming finished speaking, his face was full of smiles. He really didn't believe that Xiao Chenxuan could answer it, because Dong Ming knew that a member of the royal family like Xiao Chenxuan was in the palace. In addition to studying the Four Books and Five Classics, which was the emperor's mind and the like, how could he have time to study it?
What a trivial matter like arithmetic!
Chickens and rabbits in the same cage. This is the third question Dong Ming asked. The question is very short, but the meaning is very clear, that is, "There are several chickens and rabbits in the same cage. Counting from the top, there are three
There are eighteen heads and ninety-nine legs, counting from the bottom. How many chickens and rabbits are there in the cage?
Pheasant, isn't it just a chicken? After hearing Dong Ming's words, Xiao Chenxuan, a man from science and engineering, really didn't react at first. Dong Ming's question turned out to be a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage, so Xiao Chenxuan didn't know what Dong Ming's question meant at first.
However, this did not hinder Xiao Chenxuan from understanding this topic.
This is the question of 'chicken and rabbit in the same cage'! Such a small question, for Xiao Chenxuan, is naturally not difficult at all. What surprised Xiao Chenxuan was only this question. In fact, after hundreds or thousands of years, he
The modern society of modern society has also been solved before! However, the question at that time had been completely translated into modern language. Therefore, when he first saw this question now, he did not react for a while.
He just felt a sense of déjà vu, but once he fully understood the meaning of the question, he immediately woke up!
Because this so-called "chicken and rabbit in the same cage" problem is really famous in history, but the specific solution method is not recorded in the book, and it must have been lost in the process of circulation.
Of course, a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage? Such a small question is naturally not difficult for Xiao Xuanchen, who comes from the 21st century. He had studied this question when he was in the first grade of junior high school, and,
I have done it countless times in various exercise books, large and small!
However, the chicken and rabbit in the same cage that he learned in his previous life was completely translated into vernacular, so Xiao Chenxuan did not react immediately when he heard the ancient text.
The problem of "chicken and rabbit in the same cage" has been a well-known topic since ancient times. In fact, "chicken and rabbit in the same cage" comes from the book "Sun Tzu's Algorithm", and this "Sun Tzu's Algorithm" was originally written by talented scholars of various dynasties.
It is a compulsory course for celebrities to study "arithmetic", but the level of arithmetic in this era is really too low. Only people like Dong Ming can do some simple arithmetic, so let's not talk about those students.
Because "Sun Tzu's Algorithm" contains the most specific solutions, but some simple solutions seem to have been lost in the process of dissemination, and the existing solutions are slightly more complicated, so the answerer needs a lot of time.!
Of course, Dong Ming was also betting that if Xiao Chenxuan, who was born in the royal family, had not studied the wonderful book "Sun Tzu's Algorithm", Xiao Chenxuan would not be able to answer the question at all. Thinking of this, Dong Ming looked at Xiao Chenxuan who was stunned and smiled.
said.
"King Ji, what's wrong? You're so smart, you shouldn't be unable to answer the question, right? Haha..."
Of course, Dong Ming naturally doesn't know what Xiao Chenxuan is thinking. After all, Xiao Chenxuan will not tell Dong Ming that I have traveled through time. As for issues such as "chicken and rabbit in the same cage", primary school students in the 21st century will be confused.
Bar?
"Haha, I really belong to you, Master Dong!" Hearing this, Xiao Chenxuan was a little dumbfounded! He was indeed a little dumbfounded just now.
, but he was not stumped, but he was lamenting about Dong Ming's level. Is it true that the number one arithmetic person in China is of this level? Isn't it too good to return his luck?
After all, the "chicken and rabbit in the same cage" problem is not difficult at all for Xiao Chenxuan! Because if this problem is boiled down to mathematical thinking, it is simply a simple quadratic equation of one variable.
And such a linear equation of two variables, even for elementary school students in the sixth grade in future generations..." Many people have already learned it in advance, and those who have already learned the equation of two variables from textbooks
For junior high school students who are familiar with linear equations, they will not find it difficult at all.
Therefore, this ultimately appears to be an extremely complicated "chicken and rabbit" problem in this era. If placed in the society of later generations, it would simply be an extremely simple junior high school question. Therefore, Xiao Chenxuan is naturally not
You will feel any pressure. But Dong Ming will naturally not know this.
Seeing Xiao Chenxuan stunned on the spot, discussions began in the banquet hall.
"This King Ji has been stunned for so long. Could it be that he doesn't know how to calculate? Could it be that he can't calculate?
"Huh? Look, look! It's time to start writing!"
"Yeah, it's true! It seems that he still knows the question of 'A rabbit in a cage,' so it is really possible for King Ji of Chu to answer all three questions correctly!"
"Oh? Is that really so? But he put down his pen again,"
"Haha, look at this king, it's just a 'death struggle'!" Not only everyone in the banquet hall was talking, but even the princes of several countries also participated.
"Haha, it's possible, it's possible!"
In the banquet hall, there were also some people who had read "Sun Tzu's Algorithm". Therefore, besides Xiao Chenxuan, some people really knew about this "chicken and rabbit in the same cage" problem, but the calculation they knew was too complicated and they couldn't answer it at all.
And in the midst of their discussion, Xiao Chenxuan, who seemed to have been in a daze, seemed to have picked up the brush, hesitated for a moment, and then put the pen down on the paper without knowing what he wrote, but then...
I let it go again, but the result was an "exclamation" from everyone present.
"Hey, I'm afraid Your Highness won't be able to answer!" Even Huang Qiushui, who was beside Xiao Chenxuan, began to doubt whether Xiao Chenxuan was really stupid and difficult to do.
Xu Qingchen originally wanted to get the prize donated by Xiao Chenxuan, but seeing Xiao Chenxuan's performance, she was completely desperate!
Because Xu Qingchen mistook it at this time, Xiao Chenxuan was stunned for a long time, and he must not be able to figure it out. Otherwise, he would not have just picked up the brush and wrote a few words, and then put it down immediately.
Already.
Isn't the meaning of this already very obvious? That is, he really wanted to solve this problem, but he was helpless and was beyond his ability, so he had to give up in the end. This is Xu
Qing Chen’s thoughts.
At this moment, Dong Ming stood up again and said excitedly: "Okay! King Ji, it's been half the time to burn incense. If you really can't figure it out, why don't you give up! Let's do the same
Chapter completed!
