Chapter seven hundred and sixty-two soon must be right?
Chapter 762: Will it be done soon?
Chai Yan and the others turned to look at the stage. They saw the gift man holding the question paper and saying: "As you all know, the bench has four legs and the bronze tripod has three legs. So, may I ask, there are thirty-three benches and one hundred bronze tripods.
With its legs facing the sky, how many benches and bronze cauldrons are there?"
As soon as the question came out, Chai Yan was happy. Isn't this the same type of question as the chicken and the rabbit in the same cage, and it is simpler than the chicken and the rabbit in the same cage!
"There are thirty-three benches and bronze cauldrons, with one hundred legs facing the sky..."
At this time, the host had already begun to recite the question for the second time.
Yuan Yuan had no clue about this kind of question. He was thinking of listening to the question again carefully to find out some clues, but found that Chai Yan had already taken a pen and paper and started writing.
"Can you count?" Yuan asked in surprise.
Chai Yan did not raise his head, and nodded while writing: "Yes, how can I not know such a simple question!"
Just like solving the question about the chicken and the rabbit in the same cage, this question about the bench and the bronze tripod only requires a linear equation of two variables to be calculated.
"Is it easy?" Yuanyuan was speechless. Why did she think this question was so difficult?
When the gift man had just finished reading the title for the third time, Chai Yan put down his pen and grinned: "Done!"
"Ah?" Guan Maochun and Cheng Jiu were surprised.
"So fast?" Yuan Yuan was also shocked.
Then, the three of them poked their heads together to see what was written on the paper.
But what he saw was still the same as before, all strange and strange symbols that only Chai Yan understood.
"Sir, what are these you drew?" Guan Maochun frowned.
Yuan also asked: "Yes, what do these symbols represent? Please explain it quickly..."
Chai Yan copied the answer on a new piece of paper, folded it and handed it to Guan Maochun, saying: "Hand it in first, and then let me explain it to you slowly."
Without saying a word, Guan Maochun ran to the stage in three steps and handed the answer sheet to the guest.
The gift man was about to signal the young man to ring the first gong when he suddenly saw Chai Yanyizhuo's people running toward him. He thought the other party wanted to ask something, but unexpectedly he ran over to hand over the answer. This was really surprising.
The presenter was frightened.
Not only the host and the young man who played the gong were shocked, but everyone in the hall was also shocked, and there was a lot of discussion immediately.
"This...this, is it enough for your family?"
The host looked surprised, and the young man beside him also forgot about the gong.
Guan Maochun said proudly: "Yes, we adults will know it after listening to it for the first time! Take it quickly, my hands are sore..."
The host hurriedly took the answer sheet, and Guan Maochun immediately turned around and returned to his seat. He wanted to quickly listen to Chai Yan's explanation of the meaning of these symbols.
Seeing Chai Yan at the table handing in the answer sheets so quickly, An Huai at the next table immediately couldn't sit still: "What's going on? Why is it so fast?"
Bai Yucheng couldn't figure it out either. He was stunned for a moment and suddenly had an idea: "Master, could it be that they have seen this question before?"
An Huai was startled and turned to look at Bai Yucheng: "It can't be such a coincidence..."
"Sir, maybe it's just such a coincidence? Otherwise, why would they be so fast?"
The main reason why Bai Yucheng thinks this way is that he doesn't know that there is such an advanced calculation method as equations in the world.
An Huai was silent for a moment, then suddenly slapped his hand on his thigh and said angrily: "Damn it, you can have such shitty luck!"
Bai Yucheng and the other two stewards were also very unconvinced.
"Sir, we can't lose heart. We still have time now, so can we just figure it out?" Bai Yucheng reminded.
An Huai's face perked up, and he nodded heavily and said, "Yes, Mr. Bai is right. Let's do the math quickly. As long as we get the answer right, it's hard to say who will win!"
So, the four people at An Huai's table began to calculate intensively.
While most people were making serious calculations, Hano and Sang Mu in the back row were leisurely drinking tea...
"Hanuo, it seems that your An Huai and my Sha'er Zidan met their opponents today!" Sang Mu said and glanced at Hanuo with his eyes twisted.
Hanuo took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and asked: "It must be quick, right?"
After hearing this, Sang Mu couldn't help but have a smile on his face. Then he looked at An Huai's place, then at Sha'er Zidan's table, and said, "Hey, Hanuo, what do you think about this question?"
.... Can your An Huai and my Sha Er Zidan answer the question correctly?"
Sha'er Zidan is Sang Mu's direct grandson, which is why when he was introduced, he received the second most applause after An Huai.
Hanuo replied without hesitation: "I don't know about your Sha'er Zidan, but my An Huai will definitely answer it correctly!"
Sang Mu didn't look angry at all, but became happy.
Hanuo also smiled and said nothing.
Then, Sang Mu said: "Hanuo, what do you think we make a bet?"
"Bet?" Hano's smile disappeared immediately.
Sang Mu put his elbow on the table, moved his upper body closer to Hanuo, and whispered: "Bet on which of the two juniors can answer correctly!"
Hanuo looked at Sang Mu's face and asked, "What can you say if you win or lose?"
Sang Mu immediately said: "The loser will give a jar of old wine to the winner, what do you think?"
"It turns out you are thinking about my jars of old wine..."
Hanuo said with a little disdain: "You have the nerve to call your wine Laojiu? I don't want to bet..."
Sang Mu hurriedly said: "I have three altars and you have one altar. Is that okay?"
"Then I'll suffer too!" Hanuo was still not happy.
Sang Mu frowned and said impatiently: "Stop pretending, I'll just ask you if you want to bet!"
Hanuo glanced at Sang Mu, and after a brief hesitation, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will reluctantly make a bet with you once!"
Sang Mu immediately slapped the table and said, "Okay, then it's settled!"
"Wait..." Hanuo suddenly raised his hand to stop Sang Mu.
"What for? Are you regretting it now?" Sang Mu said blankly.
Hanuo shook his head and asked: "Then if both of them are right, or both of them are wrong...who wins?"
"Then...then we won't lose or lose, we won't owe each other anything!" Sang Mu said.
Hanuo immediately became unhappy and curled his lips and said: "Why should I bet with you if you don't lose or win?"
"Then what do you think?" Sang Mu looked at Hanuo, waiting for him to give him a solution.
Hanuo thought for a while and then said: "If they all get the answer wrong, let's see who is closer to the correct answer. The one who is closer wins!"
"Yes, it's doable!" Sang Mu nodded, and then asked: "What if they all got the answers right, or if they all got the wrong answers the same way?"
Hanuo smiled slyly and said: "If that's the case... you just need to give me a jar of wine..."
"Why?" Sang Mu shouted unhappily.
"Hmph..." Hanuo snorted coldly and said, "Why? Just because you, an old man, come to my place to eat and drink when you have nothing to do!"
