"What? You want to finish the test questions in advance and then try to prove the twin prime conjecture in the back of the exam room?"

Team leader Luo Jinlei wanted to reach out and touch Wang Yufei's forehead to see if this math genius, whom Han Wenle had repeatedly told him to take good care of, was really crazy.

Lead students to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad and solve a mathematical problem.

Don't tell me, Luo Jinlei has seen this kind of thing before.

dreaming.

How wonderful it was to dream, the whole world could be his.

What a pity, many are dreaming now.

"Yes, so I need about fifteen pieces of cardboard measuring one meter by three meters, and a slightly thicker water-based pen."

Wang Yufei nodded and made his request.

There was silence for a long time.

"Are you serious?"

"I'm serious."

"Prove it to me."

Then for the next three hours, Wang Yufei and Lu Yuxin stayed in Luo Jinlei's room.

…

Three hours later.

Luo Jinlei, who looked confused, asked again: "Are you sure you can answer the questions and leave the examination room at least half the time in advance every day?"

After raising this question, I seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to ask this question, and that it might undermine the child's idea of ​​making history, so I changed it to a more euphemistic way of saying it.

"It's not that I doubt you. But you have to know that I can apply for this, but you have to know that there are people who want to see our jokes on any occasion, and there are a lot of them! There are more people here who want to see our jokes!

"

"Yes, if you really do it, it can be said to be a tribute to this competition, and it can even be said to have created history. But if you can't do it, it will not only be as simple as you losing face, or our team losing face.

.”

"Everyone will think this is a joke, and it will even be widely reported. It will not only embarrass us, but also the face of the entire China! Have you ever thought about how much pressure there is in this?"

Luo Jinlei emphasized.

"It's no problem, Teacher Luo. I think it's challenging when there's pressure. If there's no pressure, it's boring."

"Okay, you go back and rest first!" Luo Jinlei said numbly.

…

Sitting in the room, Luo Jinlei held the phone and engaged in a battle between heaven and man.

As a team leader, you should report this kind of thing to the country first.

But he felt that Wang Yufei could convince him in this room, but he had no chance to go back to China to convince others.

Then here comes the problem.

Should he risk his future and play with this kid?

If he wins, he can brag about his awesomeness for the rest of his life, but if he loses...

"Bah, if you lose, you'll have to go back to your hometown and move bricks!"

Luo Jinlei's eyes gradually became firm, and then he stood up and walked out of the room with dignity.

…

"On behalf of the Chinese delegation, I would like to discuss something with Chairman Phillips."

"Do you have an appointment? Mr. Luo."

"No, but this matter is very important! I believe Chairman Phillips will be interested."

"Okay, please wait a moment. I need to ask first."

"You are so lucky, Mr. Luo, Chairman Phillips has exactly fifteen minutes. Please follow me."

…

"Mr. Phillips, every major competition in our China is very important! And this happens to be the 60th competition imo, so a student from our Chinese team wants to challenge a sport that has never been touched by anyone.

world record as a tribute to this International Mathematical Olympiad."

"Oh? This idea is very creative. So Luo, what are your students going to do? Do you need our cooperation?"

"Of course, this is why I came to you for support. In fact, what we need the organizing committee to do is very simple, which is to prepare fifteen cardboard boxes of about 3 square meters outside the passage of the indoor venue and put them on shelves."

"Okay, Luo, stop being so pretentious. Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

"It's like this. Our children want to use the two-day exam to solve a difficult problem that has troubled the mathematics world for a long time after completing the Mathematical Olympiad questions." Luo Jinlei said bravely.

"Oh? You mean to use the afternoon rest time?"

"No, it means that he will use the shortest possible time to complete the problems of this Olympiad, and then use the time left by other contestants to solve the problems to complete this world problem. In other words, when the exam is over, he will also stop outside the examination room

Solve the problem.”

There was another very long silence.

The atmosphere gradually became stagnant in silence.

Then the wrinkled face of William Phillips, a respected Finnish mathematician, blossomed into a smile like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Luo, tell me, you are joking. You must be joking. You must know that the International Olympiad questions are six questions conceived by the smartest mathematicians in the world for two months behind closed doors, right?"

"Of course, Chairman Phillips, I know."

"Then you must also know that the difficulty of the math questions in each IMO competition may fluctuate, but it will not be too big, right?"

"certainly!"

"Okay, then tell me, who gave you the courage and confidence to think that someone can challenge the impossible? Challenge something that no one before you could even imagine."

"Maybe it's a child I brought this time."

Luo Jinlei replied, and then Wang Yufei's confident face appeared in his mind.

There was another moment of silence.

"You know, Luo, this joke isn't funny!"

"Chairman, I'm really not joking!"

"But it would be a joke if it failed!"

"Even if it really becomes a joke, it's still a joke for the Chinese team and it won't damage IMO's face."

"So, are you really serious?"

"Very serious, I have never been so serious as today!"

"Is this the unanimous opinion of all of you in the Chinese delegation?"

"yes!"

After pondering for a long time.

"I was touched by your serious and joking mood. Of course, maybe I just want to see which math kid can give you such arrogant confidence, or maybe I am more interested in miracles."

"Okay, I will make arrangements and prepare the curtain. But please accept my kind suggestion. Before the child you are talking about can leave the examination room early, let's not reveal this whimsical idea, okay?"

"Thank you very much, Mr. Phillips!"

"Well, I hope you Chinese people can really create a miracle, although so far I still think you are joking."

"I'm looking forward to it too."

"goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

…

Luo Jinlei let out a sigh of relief as he walked out of the chairman's temporary office.

This is probably the best result he can achieve.

If Wang Yufei can't do it, what he can probably do is eat fifteen panels bit by bit in front of the chairman of the IMO organizing committee!

No, why should he eat alone?

You have to take the instigator to eat together!
Chapter completed!
