Chapter 298 Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and Showing Their Magical Powers
According to the competition process arrangement, the online live broadcast will officially start in 9 minutes, that is, at 10 o'clock.
During the competition, each team wears team uniforms and shares a standard computer.
Start a sprint for a total of 11 questions provided in this finals.
Yes, it's not 13 questions, but 11 questions.
Each question solves a practical problem.
Five minutes after the competition started, Su Xiaomu started assigning questions and taking action.
Before coming to Beijing, the despair and fear that Shang Siyu and Chen Jiming experienced turned into the strength they showed to the world on the spot.
In the 13th minute of the competition, the powerful team from Russia next door, Shengguang Machinery University, successfully submitted question F.
Became the first university to successfully solve the problem in this year's ACM-ICPC finals...
Shang Siyu and Chen Jiming each took two questions, one differentiation question, one basic question and Naqian.
As the team leader, Su Xiaomu took over the remaining questions a, b, c, g, i, j, and k.
Su Xiaomu, who has stepped into the threshold of algorithms and explored in depth, is actually not as excited about winning the award as before.
Even when I heard that there were relatively generous bonuses, I wasn’t too excited.
As usual, the prize money for the champion of the finals will be US$12,000, plus some additional rewards from sponsors, which is indeed quite generous. 1
Su Xiaomu typed on the keyboard slowly, not being as showy as in the regional competition.
After the first balloon rose, Su Xiaomu calmly submitted question A. The score list showed green and passed.
The time is 13 minutes and 5 seconds.
The Chinese Workers Sao Ke team won two balloons, a heart-shaped balloon and an ac balloon.
Su Xiaomu, who ignored question A after submitting it, whispered in her heart, "This way, I won't be in the limelight..."
To be honest, Question A is not particularly complicated. What is required is to use appropriate means of transportation to catch the plane in the shortest possible time.
It can also be regarded as a way to solve practical problems.
Through algorithmic architecture, it is reflected in code.
Su Xiaomu naturally chose to use c.
Now he is thirty years old in Hedong and thirty years old in Hexi when he participated in the acm regional competition for the first time last year.
All mainstream programming languages can be used at your fingertips without any effort at all.
When Su Xiaomu then opened question B, the audience burst into warm applause.
Because at this time, almost all the shots at the scene were focused on Su Xiaomu.
"Wow, are you in such a relaxed state?"
"This little brother is so handsome, why didn't I notice him before?"
"South China University of Technology...saucy~ahem..."
"There's something about this team name, no, there's something about this little brother, isn't it so awesome!"
"..."
Ning Fenghua in the stands: "..."
"You are so slow and leisurely, what are you holding back?"
The commentator of the live broadcast was the most excited, "Five seconds! There is only a difference of five seconds, and the second team won the A question! It is the Saoke team from South China University of Technology in Yangcheng, China!"
"The one who is answering the question is Su Xiaomu, the captain of the Sao Ke team!"
"This is classmate Su Xiaomu's first ACM. She showed great success in the regional competition... blah blah blah."
Blow up Su Xiaomu.
Some college students watching the live broadcast were a little stunned.
This commentator is a little too much! Even if you are a girl, you can’t do this!
They all blew Su Xiaomu to the sky!
A small group of female viewers were all talking loudly and showing off their heroic qualities, and they couldn't get enough of it.
After Balabala talked a lot, two new teams suddenly appeared on the scoreboard.
At the 16th minute, not to be outdone, the teams from Seoul University in Korea and the University of New South Wales in Australia passed questions b and k respectively.
This time it was the male commentator's turn to get excited.
"It's really a race against time!"
"This finals is very interesting. It seems that college students from different universities around the world have shown their talents!"
"The competition has only started in the 16th minute, and 4 questions have already been passed!"
“It’s so valuable!”
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
This finals was much better than expected, and the atmosphere was very intense from the beginning.
Everyone is racing against time!
"I'm a little tempted. I'm going to sign up for this year's ACM."
"Go together and go together."
"Team up, team up!"
“Call the players this year like crazy!”
The live broadcast was not very lively, and the number of viewers was not very large.
From the beginning, the fierce competition atmosphere, as well as the competitive pressure of racing against time and high requirements for accuracy, began to test the psychological quality of the players.
Some contestants who wanted to get good results became more involved in the competition.
A small group of people who felt that they might not be suitable for the ACM path as soon as the questions started in the finals silently cast their sights in the direction of the rising balloon.
"Boss is awesome, boss 666!"
"I originally thought that this year would be another year where the country had a bad start and then counterattacked all the way. Unexpectedly, it started quite smoothly."
"As expected, they are a team of bad guys."
"I felt the strength of the Saoke team last time when I was in Shangda University..."
"..."
There are all kinds of discussions.
Not to mention, from the very beginning, the game was a bit like eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing its magical powers.
Su Xiaomu hid his hand and gave up three one-blood balloons, then decisively caught up with the progress.
When the game reached the twenty-fifth minute, Su Xiaomu submitted question B.
When the game reached the 45th minute, Su Xiaomu submitted question c.
On the scoreboard at this time, the Huagong Saoke team scored 13+25+45 for a total of 83 minutes and passed 3 questions in the lead.
This speed is too fast!
It was so fierce from the beginning that teams all over the world were caught off guard.
And the most important thing is that the three questions of the Saoke team are all 1a.
There was no second try at all.
Even the atmosphere in the auditorium became more enthusiastic.
The five-hour competition has only lasted 45 minutes. Strictly speaking, it has just begun.
This is the time for the contestants to concentrate, read the competition questions carefully, and focus on thinking and communicating about the process of solving the problem.
The Saoke team is so unique.
Two one-blood balloons and three AC balloons were lifted into the air, swaying.
One hour and nine minutes into the game, Su Xiaomu finished typing the last code and gave up his position.
Question G was not submitted.
"I'll take a break, and whoever of you is sure about 1a will come first."
Chen Jiming decisively took over.
"I'll do it, I'll do it. I've already solved problem F."
Su Xiaomu nodded, thought for a while, and said a rare additional sentence, "Try to pass it in one go and be careful."
Chen Jiming nodded numbly.
In the past half month or so, Chen Jiming has been almost completely trained, and of course he will not lose track.
After getting started, it only took twelve minutes before I submitted question F and passed it.
At this time, the contestants were sometimes concentrating on thinking and sometimes communicating with each other. The sound of typing keyboards continued to be heard in the gymnasium, and colorful balloons representing victory continued to rise on the stage of the participating teams...
1: I'll tell you blindly, and you'll believe it blindly.
