Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 285

In terms of talent, Qin Tian won again.

"The next thing to compare is to count. Please come up with people who compare with this."

As soon as the voice fell, seven or eight people came up immediately.

These people are by far the most compared.

Because they felt that if Qin Tian was good at writing, he would definitely not be good at mathematics, so they thought of comparing themselves with Qin Tian in mathematics.

After these people came up, one of them said: "Our competition is very simple. We just need to be faster than anyone else. We will immediately select people to ask questions. There are ten questions in total. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are fine, and then we will start to calculate. Whoever finishes the calculation first , and they are all correct, even if whoever wins, how about it?"

Qin Tian nodded: "There is no problem, I agree."

There is no need for Qin Tian to say this anymore, if he suddenly disagrees, it is basically tantamount to admitting defeat.

After Qin Tian agreed, Li Yuan sent people to come up with a question in the crowd, and Li Yuan also gave a question. Soon, the ten questions were finished and pasted on a large wooden board. At this time, Qin Tian and others It is time to start counting. They have to write the answer on the paper on their desk, and whoever writes it first can knock the gong on the desk.

There are ten questions, three addition questions, two subtraction questions, three multiplication questions, and two division questions.

And each of these questions is very long. The addition is about a dozen numbers, some are three-digit numbers, some are four-digit numbers, and it will give people a headache.

Especially at this time, they are still written in uppercase Chinese characters, which looks even more awkward.

Addition and subtraction are relatively easy, but multiplication and division are more difficult.

The multiplication problem is about the multiplication of five or six numbers, some of which are more than two digits, and the numbers must be very long to be multiplied.

The division question is not simple, it may have been written by those people casually, the two questions are definitely not divisible, if not divisible, there will be a decimal point, which is even more difficult to say.

After these questions were posted, the people below immediately took a deep breath.

"Who came up with the question? It's too unkind. There are so many questions. When will this be counted?"

"Who says no, isn't this too much?"

"Hey, it will take at least half an hour to figure it out, should we go somewhere else?"

"Just wait."

As everyone said this, Qin Tian and the others had already buried their heads in writing.

Qin Tian is not used to this kind of capitalized numbers, so he first changed these numbers into Arabic numerals, and then he started to count after changing them.

In Goldfinger, there is no way to make his mental arithmetic ability particularly strong. Generally, these are either talents or special training. Qin Tian will not be able to learn the training for a while, and he can only use his own ability to calculate.

In his opinion, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are just things, and it shouldn't be difficult for him, not to mention that after switching to Arabic, everything is much easier to calculate.

Qin Tian quickly calculated on the paper, and after about half a stick of incense, he had already finished the calculation, and then he slammed the gong.

When the gong sounded, everyone was taken aback. How long has it been since someone finished the calculation?

Everyone looked up and found that it was Qin Tian who was beating the gong, and they were all shocked.

"Isn't it, Qin Tian is done?"

"Isn't this speed too heaven-defying? Isn't he joking?"

"But looking at him, it doesn't look like he's joking at all."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and the other people standing on the ring were suddenly a little anxious, so they quickly buried their heads in counting again, but even so, it was not until after a stick of incense that they finally finished counting one after another.

For ordinary people, their speed is already fast, but compared to Qin Tian, ​​they are much slower.

"Okay, let's start announcing the answers now." These answers were calculated by the ten math masters I found just now. They don't need to do too many calculations. Everyone can do one calculation. In this way, they can still quickly calculate these calculations. from.

After the answers were announced, the answers of Qin Tian and others were also verified one by one. They were the first to verify Qin Tian's, because as long as Qin Tian's answers are all correct, there is no need to verify others' answers. too, because they are too slow.

"The first question, correct!"

"The second question, correct!"

"........."

"Question [-], correct!"

"Question [-], correct!"

All Qin Tian's answers were correct. When the result came out, everyone couldn't believe their eyes.

"No way, Qin Tian was all right, how is this possible, isn't this speed too fast?"

"Yeah, with his speed, we can't finish the two problems."

"Genius, this is genius."

Everyone was shocked, and so were Lu Huaniang and Tang Rong. They had been in contact with Qin Tian for a long time, but why didn't they know that their husbands were so good at counting?
There were endless sounds of surprise, and the people on the ring sighed helplessly. Even if their answers were all correct, Qin Tian still won.

But at this moment, a person suddenly caught a glimpse of the characters on Qin Tiansuan's paper, and couldn't help being very curious.

"Qin Tian, ​​may I ask what you drew on this?"

Someone noticed the Arabic numerals, Qin Tian smiled slightly: "This is a number I created, so that the number is convenient to write and relatively easier to calculate, otherwise how could I calculate so fast, this is 1, this is 2 ..."

Qin Tian explained one by one. After they saw it, they couldn't help opening their mouths.

The reason why they are slow is that it is difficult to write capital numbers, and when dividing, it looks like a mess. If they are calculated according to Qin Tian's numbers, it is indeed much clearer.

"These numbers look so convenient, what are they called?"

"It's called Tang numbers." It's impossible for Qin Tian to say that they are Arabic numerals. Arabia is now called the Great Food Country, which is still very close to Datang, and it will rise in a few decades. It is called Arabic numerals, which will make people think It came from them.

"Tang Shu, a good name."

"Can you teach me?"

"I also want to learn..."

Those who just competed with Qin Tian now have to learn Tang Shu, Qin Tian naturally would not refuse: "After the competition is over, I can find time to teach you."

Several people were talking in the arena, and everyone was a little bit stunned. This is a competition, and it is clear that it is good to be a teacher, and they are speechless.

On Li Yuan's side, after hearing that Tang Shu was very convenient, he was also very excited, and immediately ordered: "After the competition is over, promote it to the whole country."

The people next to him quickly responded. At this time, the person in charge of the ring continued: "The text competition is almost over, and now the competition begins..."

Before he finished speaking, Princess Danyang suddenly jumped onto the ring: "Who said the competition is over, I want to write a poem with Qin Tian."
