Chapter 281 The Maker of Surprises and Trouble

"I actually had the same idea at the beginning, but for some reason, it didn't work right." Looking at He Zixiang's expression, he almost took out his computer to ask Li Yan, "So I used combinatorial mathematics to solve it later."

"Fuck..." Lai Yining and Deng Yudi cast disdainful glances, "So Xiang Shen is also so good at pretending?"

Hu Junxi on the other end said, "I don't understand and can't keep up. Don't disturb me. I want to be in a daze."

"I also thought about combinatorial mathematics, but because the idea of ​​DP was already perfect, I didn't try it."

"What the hell?" Lai Yining turned his gaze to Li Yan again, "Are there any other experts?"

Deng Yudi didn't feel anything. He was entering the initial stage of getting used to Li Yan's pretense.

"Which one do you think is easier, DP or combinatorial mathematics?"

"The solution of combinatorial mathematics is actually quite direct, but the threshold is high. If I think of this first, I will use it directly." Li Yan sighed, "But the DP method is easy to start with, but the transfer step is difficult to think of. I will use whichever one I think of first."

"How is your idea of ​​combinatorial mathematics?" He Zixiang had already put down his chopsticks.

Li Yan was stunned and laughed inwardly.

Good boy, are you testing me?

It seems that He Zixiang is a player with an open mind who is suitable for solving difficult problems, Deng Yudi is a super stable and careful player, and Lai Yining is probably in between the two.

So although Deng Yudi looks high-profile, he is actually very humble. Although He Zixiang appears to be very polite on the surface, he must be very proud inside.

There is nothing wrong with this, and Li Yan even likes it.

"Let the equation represent the number of identical bead arrangements obtained by two methods X and Y respectively. For each result A, there are X*Y possibilities. Therefore, sigma (ai^2) represents the sum of the steps to reach the final result using the two methods."

He Zixiang nodded repeatedly, "Great, great, Yan Shen. To be honest, I don't even dare to regard you as my junior."

"It's nothing, my age is there."

It’s comfortable for a twenty-something soul to pretend to be young.

"Wow, is this what you wrote in the exam, Xiang Shen?" Lai Yining asked.

"That's the idea. There was no problem with the final test. I just don't know if anything will be missed." He Zixiang resumed his humble and polite appearance.

"Damn, I feel like I'm going to be the worst!" Lai Yining suddenly yawned, looking even weaker. "I failed the second question just like Di Shen, but Di Shen got 285 on the first day and is usually more stable than me. Xiang Shen showed his true colors when faced with difficult questions. I'm afraid he might have to give up his full score on Day 2, 545 is so scary!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone realized a terrible thing.

Li Yan scored 280 on the first day and had no problems with all three questions on the second day...

"First place in the national competition in the first year of junior high school?"

This question, which everyone has been avoiding intentionally or unintentionally, was finally raised by Lai Yining.

Li Yan smiled and waved her hands, showing her admission ticket, "I'm in Group B, so I might not even have an official score."

After returning to the dormitory, He Zixiang directly moved the computer to Li Yan's desk.

"I want to know your solution to DP, although it may be a bit troublesome, so I will give you a rough idea first..."

"No trouble."

After saying that, Li Yan opened his notebook and started typing code without even reading the question.

The speed is comparable to typing.

Hu Junxi was stunned by what he saw.

Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh, "Li Yan, even though I know you can do it, I still can't help but marvel every time I see you."

He Zixiang didn't say anything. He stared intently at the lines of code written by Li Yan. The more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.

He has written two-thirds of the book, and every step is exactly the same as his first draft.

Suddenly, Li Yan stopped.

“That might be the step.”

if val=0 then continue;
"This optimization is very important and is a detail."

He Zixiang closed his eyes and opened them after a long time. "I neglected it."

"I feel like those two over there are like gods sparring, but the aftermath is so shocking that mortals like me can't even open our eyes." Hu Junxi slumped on the bed, "Oh no, it's not us, it's just me. Junior brother Chen Fan is also extraordinary."

"I am convinced, Li Yan." He Zixiang stood up and solemnly extended his hand to Li Yan, "Nice to meet you." "Nai... Naisitumiqiutu?"

The whole dormitory erupted in cheerful laughter.

"Next we just have to wait for the results, Yan Shen, you are simply the biggest surprise of this competition." He Zixiang finally relaxed.

"A surprise?" Li Yan looked at her admission ticket. "Maybe it's also a trouble."

He was right. At this moment, in the organizing committee office, Du De, chairman of the Chinese Computer Society and also the organizing committee of the competition, was looking at the transcript in his hand without saying a word.

The entire society’s management team and the presidents of provincial societies were present.

"Discovering a genius is a great thing for us." Dude has round eyes, a bald head and white hair. He frowns and pouts all year round, which makes him look fierce. "This is one of the purposes of our competition and also the result."

No one said anything, but looked at Chairman Xu of the Linjiang Province Computer Society.

Chairman Xu also has white hair and deep nasolabial folds, but at this moment he looks like a little lamb.

Dude is a wolf.

"Lao Xu, do you think we are embarrassed now?"

Chairman Xu took a deep breath and said after a long while, "I really didn't expect Li Yan to grow to...this level."

"I heard from Director Jin that it wasn't long since Li Yan started using computers and participated in the provincial league." Dude's voice was very penetrating. "This kind of growth curve should be estimated."

"Chairman, it's true that I didn't understand for the moment."

"What should we do now? It is clearly written that Class B places will not be counted in the official competition results. We tried our best and arranged for him to sit in Class A examination room, but he ended up taking first place. He even got full marks on the second day's test. The funniest thing is that the computer he used was the only one in the whole venue that broke down!" Dude slapped the transcript in his hand.

The sound echoed in the conference room.

In fact, no one else has much pressure, all the problems are on Chairman Xu.

But they were not happy either. Li Yan's sudden appearance meant that the pressure-ridden Lao Xu became the biggest winner. He took three seats in the top ten and helped a first-year junior high school student take the first place. He stole the limelight.

The chairman of the Shangjing City Computer Society looked very unhappy. He Zixiang, who was highly expected and even spoke on behalf of all the contestants, ended up finishing second because of his mediocre performance on the first day.

"If this is not included in the official results, it will be a joke. I don't even dare to think about what people will say in interviews later." Dude waved his hand and said, "Junior high school students will not be allowed to participate in the main competition. Class B competitions will not be included in the official results. I guarantee that the computer will not malfunction..."

"Old Du, if it were you, I would definitely announce it. Except for this kind of great genius, everyone would like to see it. The rules are nothing in front of a genius." Someone mentioned.

"We have to announce it," Dude sighed, "but we have to do a good job of interviewing and writing articles at the same time. We have to be nice and explain the whole story of Li Yan's incident clearly, and publish it at the same time as the transcript."

"We are taking things in a direction where we can pioneer for outstanding talents."

“And it ultimately lived up to expectations.”

The two vice chairmen finalized the direction.

"Lao Xu, you have to help with this, right?" Dude asked.

Chairman Xu nodded, "Then...what if he has defended his thesis?"

"You're still asking?" Dude shook his head speechlessly. "Is there any need to ask? You and I both know what a 580 on this paper means. Even if his defense performance is average, I will send this junior high school student to the international competition."

"If he fails to achieve results after giving it away, it's his problem. If he doesn't give it away, it's our problem." The vice chairman agreed.

"I'm curious about this kid's defense. Based on his growth rate, if he really goes to the training team for a year, it will be incredible." Dude smiled. "Let's do our job well. The other universities will have a headache. I see that Huazhong University of Science and Technology is paying close attention to this kid."

When talking about this, everyone became active and chatted about how many students their respective provinces could recommend this year.

Dude handed Chairman Xu a cigarette and took him to the corridor.

"Lao Xu, I'm not saying anything bad to you. I've told you many times that if the provincial college can shoulder some of the risks, then it should. You're being conservative. Isn't all the pressure on me?"

"I really didn't expect this day to come. He didn't do as well as Deng Yudi in the provincial election."

"Didn't Deng Yudi make it into the top ten? If Li Yan can make it to the training team, I'll be in trouble even if you give me a Class B." Dude took a long puff of his cigarette.

"Anyway, it's a surprise. Although it's a bit troublesome, the surprise far outweighs the trouble."

"You're so ashamed to say it's troublesome, huh." Dude smiled after his cold face, "Fortunately, you old man still kept a trick up your sleeve and made a separate announcement for him, which gave him room for special operations."

"Why don't you treat me to a meal to thank Linjiang for sending such a good talent?"

"You're treating me, isn't it?"
