The final results of this physics academic competition sponsored by the American Physics Society and the American Astronomical Society are announced.

Chen Zhou only logged onto the official website to check the published information after Yang Yiyi reminded him.

"We are pleased to announce the results of the 5th University Physics Competition... In this year's competition, we received a total of 1,931 participating teams. Among them, 917 teams chose 'Problem a - Orbiting Double Star',

1014 teams chose 'Problem b-Fountain'."

"In addition, there are 13 teams who sent paper documents after the competition. After review, we decided to list them as 'achieving competitors'. As for the 60 related documents that have not been sent after registration.

The team will not receive any awards.”

"For question a, the gold medal winner team is: Team 413, Chen Zhou, Yang Yiyi and Fang Jieming."

“Institution:Yenjing University.”

“Instructor: Mananton.”

“For question b…”

Question B’s gold medalist team is a participating team at Jacobs University in Bremen.

Like question a, both questions have only one team.

After that, there are the relevant award information for the silver medal.

Chen Zhou searched for a while and found "lili" in the list of silver medals, which should be Li Li.

Then I skipped the information from others and flipped directly to the end of the official website information, and there was a summary of the overall award information.

“Of course of 1931 papers submitted in the 2014 University Physics Competition, 2 teams (0.1%) were named gold medal winners, 76 teams (3.9%) were named silver medal winners, and 189 teams (9.8%)

He was named a bronze medal winner, and 542 teams (28%) were named an outstanding player…”

After reading it, Chen Zhou felt that this was a bit tragic...

Didn’t the previous rule say that 2% gold medals, 15%-20% silver medals? Are you fooling people?

The gold, silver and copper combined are less than 15%, right?

Chen Zhou shook his head slightly, and it turns out that the official words could not be believed.

I guess it was just to attract participating teams.

However, this also indirectly shows how difficult it is to successfully win gold by winning so many teams in the world.

When Chen Zhou was about to close the page, he heard Li Li's voice: "Chen Zhou, your team's results have been awarded gold, great!"

Hearing Li Li's words, Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli both exclaimed at the same time: "What? Brother Chen (Zhou) won the gold medal?"

Li Li pointed to his computer: "You see, the gold medalist team of question a."

Unlike the outstanding silver medals and bronze medal players, the photos of the gold medal winner team are hung on the official website.

So, when Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli turned their heads, they saw Chen Zhou in the photo.

The two of them said in unison: "Damn it, awesome!"

Then, Zhao Qiqi turned to Chen Zhou and said, "Brother Chen, do you see what I said? Under the same conditions, the probability of your gold grabbing remains unchanged. If you don't, you will win the gold..."

Before Zhao Qiqi finished speaking, she stopped and turned to ask Li Li: "What about you, have you not taken the gold?"

Li Li replied: "No, I'm a silver medal. Both gold medal winners have only one team..."

Zhao Qiqi was slightly stunned, then frowned and said, "No, doesn't this competition mean that the winning rate of gold medals is about 2%? If there is only one team, how can the winning rate of gold medals be 2%?"

Like Chen Zhou, Zhao Qiqi discovered this official blind spot.

Zhu Mingli continued: "It is probably because the official has reduced the winning rate in order to increase the value of the competition."

Zhao Qiqi nodded: "It should be so, otherwise, according to my equivalent, you will definitely be a gold medal, Li Li, too!"

I thought Li Li would sigh and condemn the officials for not following the rules in order to increase their value.

However, Li Li slides the mouse and clicks a page.

On the page, it is the English introduction of the upc competition.

Li Li pulled the page to the end, and there was a message saying, "We sincerely hope that college students can have great enthusiasm for physics!"

The message is followed by a date "november    1,2010".

Li Li pointed to this date and said, "The UPC competition has only started for a few years. This rule was formulated by the first event and was released on November 1, 2010. The results of the first event are not much different from this rule."

There are less than 100 teams participating. Each of the two questions has one gold medal, which is about 2%. Including the second session, there are about 100 teams."

"The rapid expansion of the participating teams has only started in the past two sessions. And..."

As he said that, Li Li refreshed another page, which was the result of the 2013 event.

There are two gold medal winners in question a.

After seeing this, Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli looked at each other without saying a word.

Li Lize said again: "It's not that the competition party did not follow the rules, but that we participating teams are not able to achieve the strength to win the gold medal."

After a pause, Li Li continued: "Actually, when I saw the planetary photos of the internal orbit taken by Chen Zhou, I knew that this was almost the result. Chen Zhou and his team deserved this gold medal!"

After saying that, Li Li looked at Chen Zhou. He was convinced that Chen Zhou won the gold medal in this competition.

Especially, he could see how much work Chen Zhou did in their team.

After all, they are all in the same computer room.

He thinks this result is the best praise for Chen Zhou.

Zhao Qiqi also said: "Brother Chen is really awesome. The first time he participated in the competition was the gold medal!"

Zhu Mingli: "Indeed, I deserve it!"

Chen Zhou smiled slightly: "Our team performs well..."

Li Li chuckled softly and didn't say anything.

Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli looked at each other again.

After the results of the upc competition are announced, the winning team will receive the corresponding certificate.

The certificate will be mailed to the address used when registering the participating team.

The general mailing time is 1 to 3 weeks.

Chen Zhou didn't care much about the certificate. Anyway, the result has been released, so it is not very important whether there is a certificate or not.

Now he just wants to ask Dean Yang for this question that he has been waiting for more than 20 days.

However, he did not have a phone call from Dean Yang, nor did he know where Dean Yang's office was.

Just as she was about to call Yang Yiyi to ask, Yang Yiyi called again.

"Hey, Yiyi?"

"Hey, Chen Zhou, Professor Mananton just called me and told me that Dean Yang is looking for people from our team."

"Director Yang is looking for us?"

"Well, you come out now. I'll call the senior again and call us, we'll talk to each other in front of the dormitory building."

"Um."
Chapter completed!
