244 Tell me if you dare to be faster! (4/6)
Lu Yuxin felt very happy and satisfied...
The point of happiness and satisfaction lies in having a partner by your side who can understand her meaning anytime and anywhere and cooperate perfectly.
This feeling is very nice.
To put it simply, I understand you.
And when a woman feels happy and satisfied, everything will be pleasing to the eye.
Even if some people say she is cowardly.
Not to mention that in Lu Yuxin’s opinion, it’s normal for women to be cowardly?
How can a cute girl like her be associated with being strong and brave?
So Lu Yuxin just smiled sweetly and said nothing.
It's just that this time Zhao Yuming was unhappy.
"What does it mean to be cowardly?"
"You don't dare to challenge!"
"Stop being boring, okay? Who gave you the confidence? How about we count the IMO championships in the past thirty years and see who has won the most?"
"Leave aside whether past results can represent the future, so what if China wins more? Fields Medal and Wolf Medal, the world's most important mathematics awards, have any Chinese people ever won them?"
Zhao Yuming spoke up, and the two parties embarked on a debate.
Of course, the other party's tone did not sound very angry, but it was the seriousness in his tone that made Zhao Yuming a little unable to bear it.
"Wait a minute, who said no Chinese have won it? Have you heard of Professor Qiu Shaotong? The Fields Medal and Wolf Medal he won at the same time were confiscated by you? And Professor Tao Zhenxuan, don't you know?"
"I'm sorry, the Professor Qiu you mentioned is an American like me, so he should be considered an American. Moreover, when Professor Qiu won the Fields Medal, he was doing research at Berkeley and not in China."
"Professor Tao is Austrian. He was born in Australia and has been studying in the West. He also joined the University of California, Los Angeles. So what does their award have to do with China? Do you have any other examples?"
Rational debate is always allowed.
From a scientific sense, debate is the demonstration of logical thinking ability through language.
As long as what you say makes sense, it deserves applause.
Therefore, the debate between the two sides attracted the attention of many players from other countries.
After all, both the American team and the Chinese team are extremely powerful in the IMO arena. Sparks between the two sides are something that people like to see.
It happened that at this time, Zhao Yuming was so crowded that he didn't know what to say.
It's not good to be unreasonable and arrogant in public. Saying "Chinese are Chinese" probably won't arouse a lot of ridicule, but also makes you look very ungraceful.
After all, my competitor today is obviously of Chinese descent, and he obviously does not identify himself as Chinese.
"Okay, let's go back to the previous question."
Wang Yufei put the last piece of steak on the plate into his mouth and swallowed it, then said helplessly.
There is no way, we can't watch Zhao Yuming being beaten speechless, losing his normal mind, and then unexpectedly losing the next game and fulfilling the opponent's wish.
After all, the International Mathematical Olympiad has an overall ranking.
The championship of the team competition requires every team member to perform normally.
"Um?"
"You just sat down and said you were going to win the championship?"
"yes!"
"Oh, let's make a bet then?"
"What are you betting on?" Jason's eyes lit up.
I just like this kind of competition, it’s interesting!
"Just bet on who can solve the problem faster. In the competition between the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, it will take more time than the total time to solve the problem. For example, if two of us here hand in the paper early, it means that our total time to solve the problem will definitely be shorter than yours. We will
Win! Do you dare to bet?"
Wang Yufei said seriously.
"Submission in advance? Who can do it faster?"
Jason wanted to laugh: "Doesn't that mean that the questions were just handed out, we collectively couldn't solve a question, so we handed in the paper directly, and in the end we won?"
"Yes! In theory, that is indeed the fastest!" Wang Yufei nodded affirmatively.
"I...is this interesting?" Jason felt that the other person was not a normal person.
"Whether it's interesting or not, let's just ask if you dare to bet? Let's compare speed first, and let's decide if the results are bad or not. You are so confident, you shouldn't back down, right?" Wang Yufei said again.
"This is a good bet! It sounds exciting."
"I think so too! American friends, don't be timid at critical times!"
"I'm really good at playing! It's a pity that the final ranking does not count the time score, otherwise I think I can be very fast!"
"It's exciting just thinking about it. This is definitely the most awesome bet in the history of the Olympiad! Absolutely, absolutely I must take up the challenge!"
Yes, the eyes of the other team members who were watching nearby lit up after hearing Wang Yufei’s suggestion!
If the Chinese team and the American team really get into a battle of spirits and see who can hand in the paper faster, their chance will come!
"So according to your opinion, even if one of our team members hands in the paper two minutes earlier than you, does it count as our victory?" In the noisy atmosphere, Jason still keenly grasped the key points.
"Of course! But if one of us hands in the paper four minutes early, you lose! It's that simple! In the two-day competition, the total time for six people to solve the problem, minus the time saved by those who submitted the paper early, which side has the shorter time?
Which side wins!" Wang Yufei confirmed again.
None of the children on the Chinese team said a word.
They just watched in silence what choice Jason made.
Thinking of the exam experience of being suppressed by Wang Yufei and Lu Yuxin in Sichuan City, they felt inexplicably happy.
I'm afraid that if the other party really agrees, and if Wang Yufei and Lu Yuxin perform normally, this group of people will have an emotional breakdown on the first day.
So is this the legendary psychological warfare?
"What bet?" Jason thought for a while and asked.
"Just bet and call me dad! The loser calls the winner dad."
Lu Yuxin suddenly took up the topic: "But there is a requirement, you must shout in the other party's native language. For example, if we lose, we will collectively call you dad in English, but if you lose, you will collectively call us in Chinese."
Dad, what do you think? Students from other delegations will testify together."
"Are you so confident?" Jason looked at Wang Yufei in surprise and asked.
"Well, what should I say? How about I show you my quick calculation ability live?" Wang Yufei looked at Jason seriously and said.
"Um?"
Wang Yufei looked at Lu Yuxin, and the girl immediately asked a very difficult arithmetic question: "What is 6732+768x11589?"
"89070!"
In less than 0.1 seconds, Wang Yufei calmly reported a series of numbers, and then successfully made Jason's nose crooked.
It also caused a burst of laughter from the crowd of onlookers.
"You're obviously wrong!" Jason asked.
"Don't worry about it, right? First tell me whether my calculation is fast or not?" Wang Yufei said still calmly.
"I……"
"Okay, we can bet! But we have to add one thing! We compare both speed and score. But the more important thing is the total score! On the basis of speed, if both of us have the same score, the faster one wins. If the faster one
If the total score of one party is lower, the one with the higher score will still win! If it is slower than the other party and has a lower score, let alone that! Do you dare to bet?"
"Okay, it's a bet! Remember to bear witness! It's time to leave now!" Wang Yufei replied cheerfully.
"Um?!"
It's really a pity that no one carefully calculated the result of the arithmetic problem reported by Lu Yuxin.
Chapter completed!
