Chapter 14 If I don't cut it all, I'll be cut
CMO Organizing Committee.
Director Feng of the organizing committee looked unhappy because something went wrong in the CMO Winter Camp.
The following people are still reporting:
"The child of this parent is from Rongcheng Shishi Middle School. He ranked 31st in the city in the math league in September and did not get into our winter camp. However, his classmate ranked in the top . Because he had been receiving training at an off-campus tutoring institution and paid more than yuan, he was able to get into our winter camp."
"The child's mother was dissatisfied and came to our organizing committee to make a scene. She also said she would expose the matter to the media."
Director Feng was in a dilemma: "Now there are reporters following up and interviewing us! This is a big deal."
The people below replied helplessly: "It all concerns the vital interests of the children!"
"Students who enter the winter camp are assumed by many universities to have a league record of at least provincial second place (provincial second prize) and can get admission to a certain class at some universities with a reduced score. Of course, everyone will try their best."
Director Feng asked again: "What is going on with the training institution?"
The person below replied: "In fact, most of the training institutions that are qualified to provide training for the Mathematical Olympiad are formal and have cooperated with us. This is also useful for promoting CMO."
"Every year, we do grant a small number of quotas to training institutions, but Director Feng, we have repeatedly emphasized to training institutions that the students sent by training institutions must also meet our minimum control line... It's just... it can only be transferred nationwide."
Director Feng understood that if there were any issues with a student’s eligibility to participate in the competition, the parents would definitely not agree.
This matter is not big, but it is definitely not small either.
Only by properly handling it can we ensure that the winter camp can be held normally, that CMO continues to have influence, and that it continues to select strong mathematics talents from across the country.
After the subordinate finished his report, he asked cautiously, "Director Feng, how do you think we should handle this matter?"
Director Feng was so angry that he said, "How should we deal with this? How can we deal with this matter when it has become so serious?"
“First, issue a statement to express the CMO committee’s strong indignation over this matter and to promise to conduct a thorough investigation!”
"Second, immediately find out how many students are in this situation."
The people below quickly asked: "What about those students who were found out?"
Director Feng made a prompt decision and said, "One size fits all! All students who entered the camp through training classes instead of the provincial math league will be disqualified from the winter camp."
"We will strictly investigate the situation of people being stuffed into training institutions, and terminate cooperation with any institution that does not meet the requirements."
Now everyone in the meeting room was terrified.
"Director Feng, wouldn't it be bad to cut it all off?"
Director Feng certainly knew what these people were planning, and he was also very angry and said:
"If we don't treat everyone the same, the higher-ups will treat us the same! Hurry up and sort it out, the winter camp has already started! Sort out the list before the end of the winter camp, sort out the list of students who don't meet the requirements, and eliminate them."
……
Jiangzhou University.
There are exams on the first and second mornings, with a total of 6 questions in the two mornings, each question is worth 21 points, for a total of 126 points.
This time Lu Shan did not cheat, nor did he take the test paper to the Singularity Laboratory for Poincare to do it. Instead, he completed it independently.
After all, he had been taught one-on-one by Poincare in the Singularity Laboratory for the past two weeks, and the actual effective review time was much longer than two weeks. He had mastered the final questions in geometry, algebra, number theory, and combinatorics.
The most important thing is that he gradually absorbed Poincare's insights, and it was not difficult for him to deal with the questions in the final.
For two consecutive days, Lu Shan finished the test papers half an hour in advance. In order to avoid being too conspicuous, he did not hand in the paper in advance. For the math questions in the CMO finals, as long as you master the method of answering the questions and pay a little more attention, the probability of making mistakes later is not high.
On the last day of the exam, after Lu Shan finished answering the last question, he relaxed. He had been mentally tense during this period. Although there was no concept of time in the Singularity Laboratory, it consumed a lot of energy.
Lu Shan actually fell asleep in the examination room.
This scene left the invigilator dumbfounded!
Indeed, the students who make it to the finals are the best students in the country.
However, the questions are quite difficult. Even if there are occasionally super students who can finish the test early, it will only be a few minutes at most, no more than fifteen minutes.
Most of the candidates had frowned brows, scratched their heads, and hesitated as they looked at the questions, trying their best to find the answers. No one would sleep in the examination room, especially as there was still an hour left before the end of the exam.
Teacher Gao, who was invigilating the exam, thought that this student definitely couldn't do any of them.
Teacher Gao was originally the advanced mathematics teacher at Jiangzhou University.
Teacher Gao always believes that mathematics is the foundation of some science and engineering disciplines. People who are good at mathematics will be very outstanding in the future whether they enter the science and engineering research industry, the computer industry, or finance.
Teacher Gao was quite interested in the questions in the CMO finals.
He was just invigilating in the classroom, observing the quality of the students' answers and comparing them with his own thinking, which was also a kind of pleasure.
In the entire classroom, only a few people could complete a question successfully. Most of them just wrote the part of each question that they were able to write first, and then got stuck.
Where is Lu Shan?
He walked over carefully, and then he felt unwell.
Although Lu Shan's hand was pressing on the test paper, he was still able to reveal most of the answering process.
Teacher Gao doesn’t have time to do his own calculations and proofs, but he can understand the calculations and proofs of others.
Lu Shan's answer is like a slowly flowing stream in spring, making people feel smooth and happy.
For the last number theory question, the first few steps of Lu Shan's answer gave Teacher Gao an epiphany, because Teacher Gao had been thinking about the solution to this problem without any clue.
[Points +]
Lu Shan didn't expect that when he fell asleep, someone peeked at his test paper and he even got points.
His sleeping position was not very comfortable, so he moved his hand.
Coincidentally, Teacher Gao saw the answer to the following question.
His eyes widened.
[Points +2]
Teacher Gao was impressed! This student's math attainment should be higher than his!
Teacher Gao looked carefully at the name on the test paper again - Lu Shan.
Teacher Gao thought that such students must have been admitted in advance by Yenching University or Shuimu University.
The exam was over and Lu Shan handed in his paper.
After a simple dinner, he spent two credits to enter the Singularity Laboratory. This time, he wanted to thoroughly understand how to prove the weakened form of the twin prime conjecture and prepare for a chance encounter with Professor Tang Yi tomorrow.
As for the Yenching CMO Organizing Committee, a large list of names was placed in front of Director Feng.
