Chapter 3990 Chapter 3992 [Math Olympiad Competition]

The next day, Xiang Nan continued to tutor them at home and helped them with their winter vacation homework. He answered questions they didn't understand on the spot, which can be regarded as "combining theory with practice."

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Xiang Nan had to go to the Examination Institute early in the morning to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad.

"Qin Li~" Xiang Nan just came downstairs and heard a clear and pleasant call.

Xiang Nan looked back and saw that it was Huang Shu.

"It's you, Huang Shu." He nodded.

"Yes, I'm here to help you take the exam." Huang Shu nodded, "And I'll give you a gift as well."

As she spoke, she took out a blue scarf from her bag and handed it to Xiang Nan, saying, "This blue scarf is for you. I checked the horoscope book and found that you are a Gemini, and the lucky color for Gemini is blue."

"Thank you, you are so thoughtful." Xiang Nan took the scarf and wrapped it around his neck, "Yeah, it's really warm."

"Actually, I was thinking of knitting it myself, but I've been busy with tutoring these days and I don't have the time." Huang Shu explained, "Next time I will definitely knit a scarf for you."

"No, as long as you have this intention." Xiang Nan smiled, "I am already very satisfied."

"Then go ahead and get good grades." Huang Shu wished.

Xiang Nan nodded and rode his bike to the Mathematical Olympiad competition venue.

He is currently participating in the provincial Mathematical Olympiad. In 2000, if one could win a place in the provincial competition, he would be able to be admitted to university.

However, in 2020, you must enter the national training team to be eligible for recommendation. Therefore, the current Olympic recommendation is relatively relaxed.

……

After arriving at the competition venue, a total of sixty candidates were arranged to take part in the gymnasium.

Sixty people sat in a row, it was quite large and the atmosphere was quite depressing.

After all, for them, today's Mathematical Olympiad, just like next year's college entrance examination, is a moment that determines their fate.

Only if you win a prize in this Mathematical Olympiad can you be admitted to university.

The prizes for the Mathematical Olympiad are distributed in proportion, and the probability of winning is about 50%. Therefore, half of the 60 people on the scene will be eliminated.

Only if you win the first prize can you be recommended to the best schools, such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, etc. If you win the second or third prize, even if you can be recommended, it is not guaranteed to be admitted to famous schools like Peking University and Tsinghua University.

The first prize ratio is 5%, which means there are only three places among the 60 people on the scene. With 60 people competing for three places, the competition pressure is naturally not small.

Especially these sixty people, they are the top students in mathematics in various schools, the talents among talents. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to get the top three.

Therefore, everyone's expression was very solemn, and they all had a sense of "if they fail, they will die."

Xiang Nan was not panicked.

Firstly, he has real talent and his math grades are good; secondly, he has no hidden health problems and won't have any sudden problems during the exam.

Qin Li in the play has had ear and water imbalance since childhood, and it happened to break out on the day of the exam, making him dizzy and miserable. He couldn't concentrate on the questions at all, so he didn't finish any of them and unfortunately failed.

Xiang Nan had corrected his ear water imbalance problem long ago, and he also had more than a thousand years of strength to protect himself, so now he has no minor problems at all. He is fully prepared for the exam.

At nine o'clock, the Mathematical Olympiad officially began.

After the test paper was handed out, Xiang Nan understood it all after just one glance.

There are six major questions in the Mathematical Olympiad exam, and he can do all of them. For him, they are basically not difficult at all.

Xiang Nan then began to answer the questions, and by half past ten, he had solved all six problems. However, the Mathematical Olympiad papers could not be handed in early, so he could only repeat the calculations over and over again to ensure that there were no mistakes.

……

At half past twelve, the exam is over.

Xiang Nan handed in the paper and then rode his bike home.

The results of the Mathematical Olympiad will not be announced on the spot. The test papers will first be marked by the marking teachers, and then the candidates for the first, second and third prizes will be selected.

The first prize test papers will be kept as a copy and then sent to the National Mathematical Olympiad Committee for review. The official winner of the first prize will then be decided based on the results, and the list of national-level Mathematical Olympiad training teams will be selected from them.

In this way, in April and May, the national Mathematical Olympiad training team will hold training sessions, and then the national Mathematical Olympiad team will be selected to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad in Daejeon, South Korea in July.

Therefore, the results of the first prize will not be announced until after school starts, in late February or early March at the earliest.

But Xiang Nan was not in a hurry, he had absolute confidence in himself.

"Qin Li, how did you do in the exam?" After returning home, Wang Di, Huang Shu, and Feng Xuejiao all came to ask Xiang Nan in person or by phone.

"I think it's OK." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Let's wait for the results."

"If you think it's okay, then it definitely will be okay." Wang Di said with a smile.

"If you are admitted without taking the entrance exam, then you don't have to go to senior year of high school?" Feng Xuejiao asked in surprise.

"That's the truth." Xiang Nan nodded.

"So you are leaving us, right?" Huang Shu was a little reluctant.

"No, I will stay in Shendong City when I go to college." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Then not only can we be together, but I will even have more free time."

"That's great." Huang Shu and Feng Xuejiao said happily.

"If it weren't for grandpa, Qin Li, you would have a better choice." Only Wang Di knew that Xiang Nan had to stay in Shendong because he had no choice. He had to stay to take care of his grandfather Qin Baishun.

"It's okay, I don't feel wronged at all." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "Staying in Shendong, I can not only take care of grandpa, but also be with you. I am already very happy."

Everyone was moved to hear him say this.

……

After the Lantern Festival, school officially opens.

After school started, the class had a new math teacher named Dong Shijie. Although her name sounded like a boy’s, she was actually a female teacher.

Changing teachers was no problem at all for Xiang Nan.

After school started, Fan Chengzhi announced that the school would hold a baseline test.

As soon as these words were spoken, those students who had had so much fun during the winter vacation suddenly started complaining.

"Why are you shouting? The purpose of the baseline test is to see how you performed during the winter vacation. If you did your homework and reviewed diligently during the winter vacation, the baseline test would not be difficult at all." Fan Chengzhi scolded, "But if you didn't bother to review and just played around, then you deserved a low score.

The purpose of the school doing this is also to warn you not to just play and forget your main job. You must remember that in another year, it will be the college entrance examination, and time is running out.

Okay, put all your books away, it’s time for the exam!”

Hearing him say this, the students were all shocked, but Huang Shu, Wang Di, and Feng Xuejiao were eager to try. They only played for a day or two during the winter vacation, and spent the rest of the time doing homework and tutoring.

Therefore, they really want to use a gorgeous answer sheet to commemorate their efforts throughout the winter vacation.
