Chapter 39903992【Math Olympiad Competition】
The next day, Xiang Nan continued to tutor them at home, and took them to do their winter vacation homework. They answered questions they didn't know on the spot, which can be regarded as "integrating theory with practice."
Early in the morning on the seventh day of the first lunar month, Xiang Nan was going to the Examination Yuan to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad competition.
"Qin Li~" As soon as Xiang Nan came downstairs, he heard a clear and sweet voice.
Xiang Nan looked back and saw that it was Huang Shu.
“It’s you, Huang Shu.” He nodded.
"Yes, I'm here to give you the exam." Huang Shu nodded and said, "I'll give you a gift by the way."
As she spoke, she took out a blue scarf from her bag and handed it to Xiang Nandao, "This blue scarf is for you. I checked the horoscope book and found that you are a Gemini, and the lucky color of Gemini is blue."
"Thank you, you are so thoughtful." Xiang Nan took the scarf and wrapped it around his neck, "Well, it's so warm."
“Actually, I originally thought I could knit it myself, but I’ve been busy with tutoring these days and I don’t have time at all.” Huang Shu explained, “I will definitely knit a scarf for you next time.”
"No need, as long as you have the heart." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I am already very satisfied."
“Then go ahead and get good grades.” Huang Shu blessed.
Xiang Nan nodded and rode to the Mathematical Olympiad competition venue.
He is currently participating in the provincial level Mathematical Olympiad competition. In 2000, if you could place in the provincial competition, you would have been recommended to go to university.
But by the 20th year, you will have to join the national training team to be eligible for recommendation. Therefore, the current Olympiads' walkouts are relatively loose.
…
After arriving at the competition venue, a total of sixty candidates were arranged to hold the competition in the gymnasium.
Sixty people were sitting in rows, which was quite large and the atmosphere was very depressing.
After all, for them, today's Mathematical Olympiad competition, just like next year's college entrance examination, is a fateful moment.
In this Mathematical Olympiad competition, you have to win the prize to be admitted to the university.
The prizes for the Mathematical Olympiad competition are distributed proportionally, and the probability of winning is about 50%. Therefore, half of the sixty people present will be eliminated.
Only if you get the first prize, you can be recommended to the best schools, such as Qingbei University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, etc. Even if you get a second or third prize, you can be recommended, but a prestigious school like Qingbei is not safe.
The proportion of the first prize is 5%, which means there are only three places among the 60 people present. With sixty people competing for three spots, the competition is naturally quite stressful.
Especially these sixty people are the top students in mathematics in various schools. They are talents among talents. It is naturally difficult to get into the top three.
Hence, everyone’s expressions were solemn, and they all had the consciousness of “If you don’t succeed, you will succeed.”
Xiang Nan was not panicked.
First of all, he has real materials and his math scores are already good; secondly, he has no hidden health problems and will not have any emergencies during the exam.
In the play, Qin Li has been suffering from an imbalance of ear fluid since he was a child, and the attack happened on the day of the exam, which made him dizzy and miserable. He couldn't concentrate at all when he wanted to do the questions, so he failed to finish the questions and unfortunately failed.
Xiang Nan has corrected the imbalance of his ears and water long ago, and he has more than a thousand years of self-protection skills, so now he has no minor problems, and he is fully prepared for the exam.
At nine o'clock, the Mathematical Olympiad competition officially started.
After the paper was handed out, Xiang Nan already knew it at a glance.
Xiang Nan then started to answer the questions. By 10:30, he had solved all six major questions. However, the Mathematical Olympiad competition cannot hand in papers in advance, so he can only repeat the calculations over and over again to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
…
At half past twelve, the exam ends.
Xiang Nan handed in the paper and then rode home.
The results of the Mathematical Olympiad competition will not be released on the spot. The test papers will be marked by the marking teacher first, and then the first, second and third prize candidates will be shortlisted.
The papers for the first prize will be sent to the National Mathematical Olympiad Organizing Committee for review after being left blank, and then the formal ownership of the first prize will be determined based on the results, and the list of national-level Mathematical Olympiad training teams will be selected.
In this way, in April and May, the National Mathematical Olympiad training team will be training, and then the National Mathematical Olympiad team will be selected to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad competition in Daejeon, South Korea in July.
Therefore, the results of the first prize will not be announced until after the semester starts, at the earliest, in late February or early March.
But Xiang Nan is not in a hurry, he has absolute confidence in himself.
"Qin Li, how did you do in the exam?" After returning home, Wang Di, Huang Shu, and Feng Xuejiao all asked Xiang Nan in person or on the phone.
"I think it's okay." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Let's wait for the results."
"If you think it works, then it will definitely work." Wang Di said with a smile.
"Then if you are recommended, wouldn't it mean that you don't have to go to the third year of high school?" Feng Xuejiao said in surprise.
"This is the truth." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Then you are leaving us, right?" Huang Shuze was a little reluctant to leave.
“No, I will stay in Shendong City when I go to university.” Xiang Nan smiled, “By then, not only will we be together, I will even have more free time.”
“That’s great.” Huang Shu and Feng Xuejiao both said happily.
"If it weren't for grandpa, Qin Li, you would have had a better choice." Only Wang Di knew that Xiang Nan stayed in Shendong out of necessity. He had to stay in order to take care of his grandfather Qin Baishun.
"It doesn't matter, I don't feel aggrieved at all." Xiang Nan waved his hands and smiled, "Staying in Shendong will not only take care of grandpa, but also be with you. I'm already very happy."
Seeing him say this, everyone was very moved.
…
After the Lantern Festival, school officially opens.
After school started, there was a new math teacher in the class, named Dong Shijie. Her name sounded like a boy, but she was actually a female teacher.
Changing teachers is no problem at all for Xiang Nan.
After the start of the school year, Fan Chengzhi announced that the school would hold a preliminary examination.
As soon as these words were spoken, those students who had gone crazy during the winter vacation began to scream in agony.
"What are you shouting for? The purpose of the preliminary examination is to see your performance during the winter vacation. If you all do your homework and review carefully during the winter vacation, then the preliminary examination will not be difficult at all." Fan Chengzhi scolded, " But if you don't bother to review and just play, you will deserve the low scores in the exam.
The purpose of the school in doing this is also to warn you, don’t just focus on having fun and forget your own business. You must remember that in one year, the college entrance examination will be held, and time is running out.
Okay, put all the books away, let’s take the exam! "
Hearing what he said, the classmates felt as if they were mourning for their concubines, but Huang Shu, Wang Di, and Feng Xuejiao were all eager to try. They only played for one or two days during the winter vacation, and spent the rest of the time doing homework and tutoring.
So they wanted to use a gorgeous answer sheet to commemorate their efforts throughout the winter vacation.
