Chapter 67 Hedy’s brain is too slow, only dead questions?
Luke took the lead in applauding, and his teammates turned to look at Hedy in shock.
Vincent, “No, Hedy is actually the first? It’s amazing!”
Taylor, “I was too busy answering the questions, but I didn’t pay attention to who is the first!”
Emily, “That’s awesome!”
On the other side, Lily sneered,
“It’s just the preliminary round, what’s there to be proud of, everyone basically got full marks, and the next round is the highlight.”
Indeed.”
Margaret saw Vincent across the way, looking at Hedy with admiration and fascination, and was filled with jealousy, extremely upset.
“I will announce the elimination list for the preliminary competition.“.
The person in charge of the Olympic Organizing Committee held a microphone and read out several city representatives, not including San Francisco.
All four members of San Francisco got full marks, but except for Hedy, the speed of the other three was relatively slow for stability.
Ranked fifteenth overall, advancing to the top sixteen without any risk.
D City has no suspense and won the first place in the team.
“Historic progress, staged victory.” Luke concluded. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Inside the arena, the person in charge continued,
“The second round, sixteen to eight, ready to start.”
The staff immediately rearranged the scene, leaving two rows of tables, four in each row, with paper and pens on the tables.
The second round is a rush–answer system.
The person in charge asks five questions, whoever rings the bell first answers, and the team with the most points wins.
The sixteen teams are separated by “2” according to their ranking in
the first round, and they will play 1v1 in turn.
Example, The first and second place are compared, and the third and fourth place are compared.
The third and fourth place are compared, and the fifth and sixth place are compared. ”
D City representative team, and xx representative team students
please come on stage.” Margaret took Lily and the other two teammates to the stage.
The second–ranked city representative followed suit.
In less than ten minutes, D City won.
The match between the third and fourth places also took less than ten minutes.
Gradually, the race came to fifteenth and sixteenth.
San Francisco’s opponents are the men who laughed at San Francisco’s fiercest men before departure.
Host, “The game is starting, please listen to the questions.
The first question, There are two numbers, twice the larger value is equal to five times the smaller value plus three. The sum of four times the
larger value and three times the smaller value is 71, What are these two numbers?”
Ding.
Emily rang the bell first.
Moderator, “San Francisco made a statement.”
Emily, “14 and 5.”
Moderator, “Correct. The second question is an odd number with three, digits. The sum of each digit is 12.
All three digits Not the same, the difference between the first two digits is equal to the difference between the last two digits…”
Before finishing the question, the boy opposite rang the bell.
Host, “Please speak.”
Boy, “345.”
“The answer is correct.”
The third question was answered by Vincent.
The fourth question was answered by Taylor.
San Francisco won and advanced to the quarterfinals.
“Yes!” Emily clenched her fists, the tension in her eyes was replaced by confidence.
She can’t live up to her hard work over the past year!
“It’s Hedy’s first time to participate in the quick answer system, is it a little uncomfortable?” Vincent wondered why Hedy remained silent.
With Hedy’s strength, he shouldn’t do nothing all the time, the answer can only be discomfort.
“Relax, don’t be nervous, it’s okay to get the wrong answer!” Taylor worried that Hedy was under too much pressure.
Due to the rules of the game, the three could not stay in place for a long time and left the field one by one.
Hedy lowered his eyes.
How could she be under so much pressure in a Mathematical Olympiad competition when she has been at ease with life and death all year round?
She intends to make a move at the most critical moment.
Because Vincent, Emily and Taylor need a chance to prove their strength and wash away the shame of the past.
And she just needs to win, and she can give them room to play.
auditorium.
The reporters patted Hedy, patted and patted, feeling dull.
Reporter A was puzzled, “Hedy was so strong in the first round, why
did he misfire in the second round?”
Reporter B replied, “Maybe it’s like what her teammates said, she didn’t adapt to the competition the first time, and it will be fine in the next round. ”
Reporter A shrugged.
“Now announce the list of the top eight…” The person in charge of the competition organizing committee stood up, finished reading the list, and said,
“Next is lunch and rest time. In the afternoon, the top four and the top two will be determined.”
It was noon, and the competition Party prepared lunch and lounge.
In the lounge on the San Francisco side, Hedy lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
Luke took out his notebook and gave a lecture to the three of Vincent. He took a moment to glance at Hedy, but he didn’t shout.
He thought,
Hedy might be really nervous, give her some rest.
-The
rest is over, and the game continues to the third round.
The following games are all in a rush–answer system, and 1V1 will be played according to the ranking in the first round.
It’s just that the number and difficulty of the questions in each round
will be improved compared with the previous round.
Thirty minutes later, Margaret led the D City team to the semi–finals.
Seeing that the three of Vincent were in good condition, Hedy chose to shut up and let them lead him into the semi–finals.
Reporter A, “Has Hedy not adjusted yet? The three of Vincent are very good this year and have the momentum to win the championship.”
Reporter B scratched his head, “I don’t know.”
Margaret snorted coldly
in the auditorium and said, “Hedy doesn’t It’s not that she doesn’t get used to it, it’s that her mind is too slow, she can’t turn around, and she can only do dead questions.”
It’s like some people who can speak well in private, but when they are in front of the public, they die.
“What the Queen said makes sense.” Lily nodded,
“It’s a pity that San Francisco’s ranking is too low to meet our D City, otherwise you will crush them in the second round.“.
“Of course.” Margaret is confident full.
-The
semi–finals followed.
After 60 minutes, D City, where Margaret is located, advanced to the semifinals without any danger.
On Hedy’s side, Vincent and the three of them were invincible, so he was three against four, and Hedy was carried into the finals.
It’s not just reporters who complain this time.
The students from other cities who stayed where they were were said one after another, “San Francisco took drugs this year? Why
is it so violent! I apologize for my previous ridicule!”
It’s like someone clicked on the ‘dumb acupoint…”
“So what did Vincent and the others go through this year?”
“Nothing.”
Luke folded his arms around his chest and opened his mouth lightly, pretending to be aggressive, and suddenly felt a burning sensation in his eye sockets.
In the first round of the preliminaries last year, Emily returned to San Francisco crying.
Vincent and Taylor didn’t cry, they just kept flipping through the Mathematical Olympiad questions on the bus back home.
Since then, the three of them have devoted more time to Mathematical Olympiad, actively requesting the training class to be longer, and training during holidays.
The high–intensity training caused the fourth person to be overwhelmed and quit, and then Hedy ushered in.
As for Hedy’s silence…
If he can’t adjust it, he can’t adjust it, he doesn’t blame her.
What’s more, if she didn’t take the shortest time in the preliminaries and gave Vincent three people the bottom line, San Francisco would not have made it to the second round.
The person in charge of the competition organizing committee said, ”
Half an hour intermission.
Half an hour later, the D City representative team and the San Francisco representative team played the final game.”
