Of course Ouyang Zhe knew that Jin Letian was just joking, but he still had the urge to beat Jin Letian.

Naturally, he didn't believe how strong the students of No. 2 Middle School were in mathematics. No. 2 Middle School did not have the top competition resources, no national gold medal coaches to guide them, and could not systematically learn mathematics competition knowledge. The atmosphere was much different from the competition class of Pengcheng Middle School.

Li Xuan is more like a special case. But no one knows how far Li Xuan can go. In the past, all students who participated in CMO were students from top prestigious schools. Although there are also self-taught students, they are so rare that they can almost be ignored.

Over the years, the strongest competition has always been students from top universities. Maybe one or two students are lucky enough to join the national training team by answering a lot of questions. However, entering the national training team will easily expose the lack of knowledge, breadth and depth.

Not enough, after all, the difficulty of CMO level questions is not that easy to answer.

Ouyang Zhe put down his mobile phone. It was recess. He was in a separate classroom of the school's competition class. He walked to the desk and picked up a piece of paper. It recorded the fourth geometry question of the Chaoyang Cup finals. When the exam was over, he did not

Prove this geometry problem.

I recall that the ancients once said that there are three major misfortunes in life, one of which is success at a young age. The aura of genius made Ouyang Zhe proud and complacent. Because he missed the national team by a few points, he just thought it was bad luck and he would definitely make it to the national team next time.

Team.

He would not allow himself to lose in mathematics again.

But this time he lost again. He just can't do plane geometry. His intuitive sense of graphics and spatial imagination have always been his weaknesses.

"Learn from each other's strengths."

Ouyang Zhe was silent and said to himself secretly that he must do the questions that will be asked in the competition first and not make mistakes that he shouldn't make in the competition. If he encounters Waterloo and cannot enter the national team, he will not forgive himself.

After checking the time, Ouyang Zhe realized that he had wasted five minutes on meaningless things. He turned off his cell phone, picked up the number theory book compiled by Hua Luo, and read it without any distractions.

…

…

In fact, Li Xuan's Chaoyang Cup results also experienced some twists and turns. During the evaluation, the judges of the Chaoyang Cup test paper once had a dispute over Li Xuan's answer to the fourth question, and even took out Li Xuan's test paper alone.

Just for discussion.

At that time, many judges believed that the solution method used by Li Xuan exceeded the outline given by the Chaoyang Cup. Whether it should be awarded points is still open to discussion.

Later, Chen Quan, an applied mathematician and director of the Chaoyang Cup Organizing Committee, stood up and spoke for Li Xuan: "The questions you asked gave people loopholes to exploit. Who is to blame? And the answers we gave used a lot of the same method.

The process is too complicated and cannot be clarified in a short time. This fourth question is a difficult question, but not a good one... You see, Ouyang Zhe of the National Team did not solve it, which proves that this question was set by us.

question."

"Moreover, for this geometry question, if it's you, can you think of the inversion transformation, can you think of finding the center? This classmate named Li Xuan has a very good sense of pictures, and he grasped the key points in one go.

The solution is simpler and more intuitive than our answer, so I can’t fault it.”

"When I saw his answer, I wanted to marvel at his fantastic ideas. Why not give points? The purpose of our competition is to encourage students to study and explore mathematics."

"Although the inversion method is not allowed to be used in the National Mathematics League, it can be used casually when it comes to CMO. It is too much to not allow others to use the inversion method for CMO-level problems."

"Even excluding this question, he and Ouyang Zhe are tied for first place. Just because of his exquisite solution, I think the first place should go to Li Xuan's classmate."

So the ranking was decided.

Of course, Li Xuan's total score is not only first in the province, but also in the top three of all Chaoyang Cup participants in the country. Not only Li Xuan, but also Ouyang Zhe's results in the Chaoyang Cup can also be ranked among the top ten in the country.

The top ten in the country have a special title, called "Rising Sun Star".

Xinhua News Agency, China Youth Daily, China Youth Daily, China Middle School Student Newspaper, and other well-known domestic media and newspapers successively reported on the event.

But no matter how good a province's performance is, it can only have one of the top ten in the country. This is a rule. Instead of the top ten in the country, it will be in the top ten. This is to consider the difference in teaching level of regional students. Sometimes areas with developed education have won

One of the top ten is enough, and the other top ten must be given to subsequent provinces. Similar practices will also appear in college entrance examination selection, lowering admission requirements for some poor areas.

The rewards for the top ten in the country, in addition to a bonus of 10,000 yuan, are also qualifications for the Chaoyang Cup Mathematics Winter Camp, where they can receive mathematical guidance from Peking University professors.

…

The Chaoyang Cup results came out, which shocked Zhao Dongming, and even the leaders of the Second Lieutenant Colonel.

When the principal came to the math team's office to confirm this with Zhao Dongming, Zhao Dongming said with a smile on his face: "Gold medal, I had already thought that Li Xuan would win the gold medal, so I'm not surprised... He won the first place, and I'm not surprised at all."

, what’s so exciting about this, it’s such an ordinary thing... Principal, do you have anything else to do?”

Chen Guang rolled his eyes as he listened, but Zhao Dongming had always been shameless and he was used to it. To be honest, he liked a hard-working student like Li Xuan and was happy for Li Xuan without saying a word.

The principal clasped his hands and smiled: "Very good! But Li Xuan is only in the first year of high school, right? Where did he learn the competition before, and why is he so good?"

Zhao Dongming thought for a while and said: "Li Xuan is now a freshman in high school. He has never studied mathematics competitions before. He has only studied for half a semester. However, he is very talented. He can do any Olympiad mathematics just by looking at it. He can throw away other students in an instant.

For the Chaoyang Cup competition, I also told him to just take the test casually and focus on the National High School Federation. He agreed and reluctantly came back with the first place."

Chen Guang: "..." It's really forced.

Don't say it, being number one in the province is of great significance. As long as you keep it up and train well, you might be able to enter CMO in the future and compete for glory in No. 2 Middle School. Everyone understands that Li Xuan's performance is not due to the teacher's good teaching.

It is Li Xuan's personal strength. It is very clear that a special case like Li Xuan has appeared in No. 2 Middle School for so many years.

In mathematics, talent is still very important. Some people know which answer is correct just by looking at the question.

After the flag-raising ceremony in the morning, the principal said happily in front of all the teachers and students of the school:

"Let me tell you some good news. In this Chaoyang Cup Mathematics Competition, our freshman Li Xuan won the first prize of the gold medal, ranking first in the province and among the top ten in the country. In addition, Liang Zhihui and Liang Zhihui, a freshman in our school

Second-year student Jin Letian also won the second-prize silver medal, and second-year students Guo Yichang, Yuan Jinqiu, Tan Zhicheng and Xie Xi won the third prize. Let us congratulate the above students!"

There was a roar in the audience.

Many students below suspected that they heard wrongly and asked their classmates: "What did the principal say in the province just now?"

“No. 1 in the province.”

"A competitive student from Hua Affiliated High School was killed by Li Xuan?"

"Really awesome..."

…

Qiao Siling took a breath and looked at Li Xuan next to the principal, and was also shocked.

Li Xuan just smiled when he looked at his fuming classmates, and quickly went to the stage to receive the award. In front of everyone, the principal put a gold medal on him, which made him a big star.

There was thunderous applause from below.

The students in the high school mathematics competition class were also very excited.

At first, everyone thought Liang Zhihui was a god, but now they realized that the real god was Li Xuan. They were shocked when they got a perfect score in the test, and they were completely dumbfounded when they came first in the final. This time, the way they looked at Li Xuan was different.

.

These classmates will brag and call the Chaoyang Cup final a battle of gods. After all, they can suppress the European gods. There is no problem in calling Li Xuan a god. He is a future national team member and a future imo world champion.

, a super genius in mathematics.

Li Xuan knew this was false. He didn't think he was better than Ouyang Zhe, although he didn't understand why Ouyang Zhe didn't solve the CMO-level number theory problem.

Speaking of the National High School Mathematics League, it was in September, and the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad CMO was in November. The top 60 were selected into the national training team. After two stages of training from January to March, 6 national teams were selected to participate in the 7

month imo.

But there are some differences in this time and space. The National Mathematics League exam is in January, similar to the AMC High School Mathematics League in Amerik. Li Xuan’s goal is to pass the National High School Mathematics League and participate in the national finals CMO.

The selection goal of the national competition CMO is to select a large number of players who can get perfect scores in the international competition IMO, so the difficulty of CMO has always been higher than that of IMO.

There is still a little time to prepare before the National High School Mathematics League.

To participate in CMO, you must first pass the National High School Mathematics League, get first place in the province, and enter the provincial team. There are six people in the provincial team. Even if you get a perfect score, you may not be guaranteed to enter. If there are seven people in the province who get a perfect score, they may not be admitted.

, this kind of thing has happened before, and it cannot be ruled out that there is a shady story involved.
