This time, major high schools in Yuanzhou City sent 500 students to participate in the Municipal Mathematical Olympiad preliminary competition. In the end, only the top ten will be selected to enter the provincial competition and compete with high school students from various prefectures and cities.

Fight for a spot in the national competition.

Because there are a large number of people, and the provincial competition is just seven days later, the organizing committee specially hired a marking team composed of nearly a hundred mathematics teachers and professors from various universities to assist in correcting the test papers, so that the final results can be released tonight, and the selected candidates will be selected.

Six candidates entered the provincial competition.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the entire marking room was quite solemn.

In order to ensure fairness and impartiality to every student, each test paper will be graded separately by two marking teachers. If there is any dispute, the leader of the marking team will make the final decision.

A few hours passed. Except for a half-hour break for meals, nearly a hundred marking teachers were in a tense and busy state. No one spoke, and the only sounds in the marking room were the boring sounds of moving pens and flipping through test papers.

"This paper is good. I did a total of nineteen questions, including an additional big question, and they were all correct. There was also a twentieth question. The beginning and solution ideas were also correct. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish it. I gave it five points.

, the total score on the test paper is 210 points!" Suddenly a teacher sighed.

"Huh? 210 points! It seems that a record-breaking paper has finally been born!" All the teachers looked up from the boring work of grading.

"Yes, judging from Juanxiu's beautiful handwriting, she must be a girl, which is amazing."

The name information column of the test paper is sealed so that the teacher marking the paper cannot see it.

"Still a girl? It's really unexpected."

"Speaking of it, there are not many candidates who are so good at mathematics among the candidates of Yuanzhou High School this time. Ning Qingyun from Yingyuan last year was the only girl who entered the top ten, couldn't it be her?"

"Have you forgotten Chi Jiamu? She also came to Yuanzhou to take the exam this year. She is also a girl."

"Whether it's Ning Qingyun or Chi Jiamu, it seems that the first place this time must be this girl."

All the teachers started talking.

The difficulty of this Mathematical Olympiad test is indeed high enough. Now that most of the papers have been corrected, almost 80% of the candidates have only answered five or less questions, and the accuracy rate is not very high. Occasionally, I see some who can get more than ten questions correct.

They are all rare and rare.

The last paper that attracted everyone's attention was a boy's paper. He answered 18 questions correctly and got 180 points.

In addition, there are a few papers with 160 points, 150 points, etc. that break 100 points. This is the first time I have seen a paper that broke 200 points like this.

Shi Cunyuan, as the leader of the question writing team, naturally also serves as the leader of the marking team. He looked at the time and the remaining unmarked papers and said: "Everyone, please work harder and correct the last dozens of papers as soon as possible."

over!"

"Okay." The teachers returned to their posts, and soon the marking room was busy again.

"Oh my god!" But soon, an exclamation broke the dull atmosphere in the marking room again, and all the teachers couldn't help but look up at the place where the sound came from.

The voice was made by a young male teacher in his thirties. He smiled sheepishly at everyone: "I'm sorry for disturbing you seniors. The main reason is that the paper in my hand is too scary."

A middle-aged female teacher asked curiously: "Teacher Wei, what paper is so scary?"

"This." Teacher Wei smiled bitterly and raised the test paper in his hand:

"This is the first time I have seen a paper where all the questions have been answered, and they are all correct. The most exaggerated thing is that for all the big questions, the examinee used two methods to do it... It even makes me wonder whether the answer is

There’s nothing we can do if it leaks.”

"Really? Is it so exaggerated?" All the teachers couldn't help but put down their work and gathered around curiously.

Sure enough, I saw that the answer areas for the main paper and the additional paper held by Teacher Wei were all filled with answers. Each big question was clearly written with "Solution 1", "Solution 2", "Proof Method 1", "Proof Method 2"...

"Really? So awesome?"

"Give it to me, let me take a look."

"Wait, give it to me first."

"I'll review this paper."

None of the teachers had been engaged in mathematics for a long time. They had all seen the standard answers to these questions, and subconsciously they were curious to see the student's second solution.

At that moment, countless hands stretched out, vying to take the paper in Teacher Wei's hand.

Teacher Wei was so frightened that he quickly protected the paper: "seniors, don't damage the paper."

"Give it all, what's the fuss about?"

Everyone turned around and saw Professor Lin Haibo, a senior member of the marking team, walking over.

This is an old professor in Yuanzhou mathematics circles, and his qualifications are older than that of the team leader Shi Cunyuan.

Lin Haibo raised his reading glasses with his fingers, then reached out to take the paper from Teacher Wei, and hummed while taking it back:

"For a mere paper, why are you fighting for it? Why are you fighting for it? Look at your virtues, where has your teacher's accomplishments gone? Huh! In order to avoid fighting, leave the review of this candidate's paper to me! Hehe...

"

Seeing that Lin Haibo couldn't help but smile as if his conspiracy had succeeded, the teachers immediately shouted: "Professor Lin, you are cheating, and we don't accept it."

They knew that Lin Haibo was the oldest, but also had the funniest temperament and loved joking, so they were not too restrained when talking to him.

Lin Haibo hugged the paper and widened his small eyes behind his reading glasses like a puppy guarding its food:

"I am a seventy-year-old man, do you have any respect for the old and love the young? You are trying to fight against me. If you break me, you will lose such an interesting senior..."

The old professor's words were funny, and all the teachers couldn't help laughing loudly. Naturally, no one argued with him anymore.

At this time, he saw team leader Shi Cunyuan standing up. Lin Haibo immediately shouted nervously: "Team leader Shi, you are the team leader. You can only resolve disputes and cannot directly participate in the initial review. Don't break the rules.

ah."

Shi Cunyuan glanced at the paper and slowly picked up the teacup: "I'm just going to add some tea, why are you nervous? Besides, I've already read this paper in the examination room."

"you have seen?"

Shi Cunyuan nodded and said: "To put it bluntly, this candidate finished the exam in less than an hour and a half, and was also the first in the entire examination room to hand in the paper."

Teacher Wei lost his voice and said: "Hey, are you so stupid?"

The middle-aged female teacher was dissatisfied and said: "Teacher Wei, can you please stop using bad language? You are a university lecturer, can you have some professionalism? This will teach bad students."

"I'm sorry, I was taught badly by my students... Then can I just say 'f*ck'? Otherwise it's hard to express my feelings at this time..."

"I remembered, there seems to be a rumor that Quan Wenyan, who ranked first in the provincial competition last year, had his mentality affected by a candidate who submitted his paper in advance, and he was carried to the medical room... Could it be this candidate?"

"What do you think?" Shi Cunyuan was noncommittal and went to the water dispenser to get water.
