Compared with the previous competition where you and I were chasing each other, after the time entered one hour, everyone's submission speed slowed down significantly. Now the fastest one is the host who has passed five questions.
The Electrical Engineering Department was closely followed, and it also passed five questions, but due to two time penalties for incorrect submissions, it ranked second in terms of points.
As for provincial payment...
In the stands.
Professor Ye Rudai looked at the provincial department's "Group a team at will" and frowned slightly.
Although the provincial government only passed four questions and is currently ranked fifth, their penalty time is...zero!
That is to say, although they do it slowly, they pass it every time with one submission without any mistakes - because each mistake will be punished for 20 minutes, and this time will be reflected in the ranking.
Such an accurate code?
Professor Ye couldn't help but look at Wang Wenxiong beside him: "Teacher Wang, your code is very accurate."
"Well, slow work will lead to careful work." At this time, Wang Wenxiong had a smile in his eyes.
He knew that Ye Ming's strategy this time was to calm down and seek stability.
If there was a real competition in speed, he had seen Ye Ming clear it in five minutes!
Professor Ye smiled, and then she looked stern!
I saw the screen was jumping, so I skipped payment and directly accepted question E.
And because they made no mistakes, they immediately jumped from fifth to first!
There was a low exclamation from the stands.
Wang Wenxiong breathed out softly and slowly let go of his hand.
He knows, it’s stable!
…
Time passed slowly, and then, while the provincial administration firmly ranked first, it still maintained the speed of submitting one question in 15 minutes, moving steadily and resolutely towards the eighth question, question H.
This question is the most difficult one in this competition, and no one has been able to get first blood so far.
During the competition, Su Zi raised her head and took a deep look at the provincial team that was four columns away from her own.
As if there was a connection, she also saw Qi and Mo looking at her at the same time.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Qi and Mo flexed their arms at her, signaling to cheer up.
"Damn, there's something to saving money." The teammate sitting next to Su Zi looked away from the big screen and lowered his voice: "You passed seven questions with zero penalty time. What kind of monster is this?"
"Maybe the compiler has become sophisticated." Su Zi also said softly and opened question H at the same time.
She was responsible for integrating the three people's ideas and knew that this question was the most difficult.
And she is also paying attention to the provincial submission status.
Therefore, she concluded that each question would only take about 15 minutes.
Fifteen minutes...just the time to finish typing the code in a leisurely manner.
Seeing that Qi and Mo were sitting in exactly the same position as herself, even if she warned herself in her heart... there would still be something strange.
Time passed minute by minute.
Just when Su Zi came back from her thoughts and looked at the countdown, the host's voice suddenly sounded.
"Any team formed by the provincial government passed Question H for the first time."
After the words fell, almost all the players in the audience raised their heads.
On the big screen, there are eight questions on the Provincial AC, two questions ahead of the second place!
…
…
In the stands, Professor Ye glanced at his watch.
She smiled and shook her head: "Awesome, really awesome."
"Well, slow work will lead to careful work." Wang Wenxiong's face was already smiling.
"Is this slow work and meticulous work?" Professor Ye pointed to his wrist: "Each question is kept at a constant pace of 15 minutes, which means that your contestants are consciously controlling the rhythm, which means that no matter whether it is a difficult problem or a question with points, it is right
They are all treated equally.”
"They...may have taken advantage of the time allocation law..." Teacher Wang coughed, and really didn't know how to be humble: "Luck, it's all luck."
"Haha." Professor Ye pursed his lips and smiled: "Indeed, luck is also strength."
As he was talking, Teacher Wang's bag buzzed.
He smiled and opened his computer bag.
Among the pile of mobile phones, Ye Ming's mobile phone was vibrating stubbornly.
Teacher Wang glanced at the name on the caller ID, hesitated for a moment and then pressed the answer button.
——He is responsible for everyone’s mobile phones, and is naturally responsible for answering important calls. After all, everyone has Do Not Disturb enabled and can only receive calls from the address book.
On the phone, there was a somewhat anxious female voice: "Hello, Ye Ming."
"Hello, Ye Ming is playing. I am his teacher. If anything happens..." Teacher Wang glanced at the time, lowered his voice slightly and said, "The game will end in three hours. It's a good time to call here."
, or I’ll ask him to come back to you after the game.”
"Ah? Is it the ACM competition today?"
"Yes."
The person on the other side of the phone took a deep breath: "Okay, please ask the teacher to come back to me. My name is Mo Gu - by the way, how was the competition?"
"Well... we are ahead for now." Teacher Wang smiled and said, "For more details, let him tell you."
Teacher Wang put his cell phone back into his computer bag.
He looked at the countdown and thought that he might have said too much...
According to the current speed, there is still at most half an hour before Ye Ming and the others lock in the championship.
…
Half an hour later.
As Ye Ming clicked Submit, on the big screen, the status box of each question asked to form a team was filled with green AC.
There was thunderous applause in the stands.
Amidst the applause, Ye Ming stood up, rubbed his wrists, and turned to look at Qi Yumo.
Qi Yumo's eyes were shining brightly and she opened her arms towards him.
"Here, let me reward you with one!"
Ye Ming tilted his head with a smile and stretched out his arms.
After hugging Qi and Mo, Shen Ruhai also had a bright face and opened his arms to him.
"Come on, I'll reward you with one too!"
Ye Ming: "...Is it me who rewards you?"
…
Although the championship was locked in advance, because the game was not over yet, Ye Ming and the others walked out of the competition venue under the leadership of the referee.
Outside the venue, Teacher Wang, who was so excited that he could not contain himself, had been waiting for them for a long time.
"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!" Teacher Wang laughed, and he couldn't help but pull everyone into a hug: "You are so awesome! You have set two records!"
Qi Yumo blinked: "What record?"
"The fastest to seal the victory record!"
“All-pass record without penalty time!”
Teacher Wang looked at Ye Ming, his face full of joy: "Let's go, it won't end in two hours, let's eat first!"
Qi Yumo smiled playfully: "Teacher Wang, where is your cell phone? I'll tell you the good news."
Speaking of mobile phones, Teacher Wang immediately opened his computer bag: "By the way, Ye Ming, someone named Mo Gu just called you. He sounded a little anxious. Please call her back."
Mo Valley?
Ye Ming was slightly startled. After looking at Qi and Mo, he tentatively asked, "Are you asking about our competition?"
"I've asked, you'll know after you call me."
Qi and Mo took two quick steps and followed closely behind him.
"Is there something wrong with my sister? Otherwise, how could I ask you about the game without asking me..."
"I don't know." Ye Ming looked at the dialing interface and frowned slightly.
The phone rang for a long time, and it wasn't until Ye Ming wanted to hang up and dial again that the phone was picked up.
"Ye Ming."
On the phone, Mo Gu's voice was a little tired.
Ye Ming glanced at Qi and Mo and changed his hands on the phone. The latter immediately put his ear to the back of the phone.
"Sister Mo, what's wrong?"
"My article was rejected by the desk."
Ye Ming raised his eyebrows: "What then?"
"Then, my boss asked me to remove the preprint from arxiv, do a few more experiments, and re-submit it to Cell or The Lancet."
