At this time, when the crowd around them saw such a high elimination rate, they all clicked their tongues.
"These questions are too difficult. Tianli Academy must have done it on purpose!"
"Nonsense, who is Master Baiyun? Without extraordinary knowledge, it is possible that he is worthy of being Master Baiyun."
"that is!"
"Look, Li Chao's great talent is still here. Doesn't it mean that Li Chao is not good at studying objects? How can he know those questions?"
"Ha! Those old almanacs you have are from many years ago. The last time you were on an envoy..."
"That's right! It's all thanks to Qingfeng Shixian that Ya Sheng can enter the Confucian Temple. Have you forgotten that when the Li Dynasty envoy first came to Yujing, Master Zhou greeted them on foot?"
"..."
These matters were not widely spread in Li Dynasty.
After all, losing the competition was not a glorious thing for the Wu Dynasty, so it was naturally impossible to publicize it. If it weren't for Xinxue and Hengqu's Four Sentences, they would have had such a great impact on scholars that it would be impossible to spread them.
"Tsk tsk! So, Qingfeng Shixian and Baiyun layman are really a match made in heaven."
"That's true, but how can layman Baiyun marry and leave the court?"
The crowd roared.
Lin Bai felt something was wrong.
It seems that the significance of the Ligong Niang to the Wu Dynasty has been underestimated. Among other things, Mulianli alone has benefited many fruit farmers.
But don't let anything happen again.
On the high platform, Zhou Yingkui looked down and said, "Congratulations to all of you for successfully breaking into the first level. Next is the second level."
"The second level is the nine-square grid number. From one to nine, nine numbers are arranged in three rows and three columns. No matter horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, the total number must be the same."
"Of course, this is the simplest nine-square grid number, and our ancestors have already given us the answer."
"Today's second level is not a simple nine palaces, but sixteenth, twenty-fifth, thirty-sixth, etc., and they are deduced in sequence. Whoever deduces the bigger palace will be able to advance. The premise is It must be more than 7749 palaces, and only the top three will be taken.”
good guy
Lin Bai called him a good guy.
When I heard the Jiugong grid number, I thought it was very simple. Isn't it just that two and four are shoulders, six and eight are feet, nine and one are up, seven are left and three are right. No matter horizontally or vertically, they add up to fifteen.
But the result is not a simple nine-square grid, but an upward deduction.
This is a bit difficult.
After all, the nine-square grid is just nine numbers, and the sixteenth-square grid is sixteen, and it must exceed the forty-nine-square grid. In other words, it is forty-nine numbers, from one to forty-nine, arranged in seven rows and seven columns, no matter where The sum of each row, column, and diagonal must be the same.
Not to mention the difficulty, it is not easy to calculate the number. 33
The remaining twenty or so people couldn't help but lower their heads and think deeply after hearing this. Some people were already making calculations with pens and paper.
In the attic, Chu Xiangyun seemed to be a little interested when he heard the topic, his bright eyes brightened slightly.
He even calculated it.
There are people in the crowd who understand, and they understand the difficulty after just thinking about it for a moment.
Zhou Yingkui saw everyone below them frowning deeply, and couldn't help but show a look of pride on their faces. In the past few days, he and Tianli Academy had racked their brains to come up with the question.
First of all, they excluded the Classics and History Collection. Lin Qingfeng was a great talent, and the most common foundations of the Classics and History Collection could not hold him back.
Um! At least that's what they thought.
So they excluded this from the beginning and only wanted to make a fuss about investigating things.
In terms of investigating objects, Lin Bai's extraordinary performance also made them very embarrassed. As a last resort, they came up with this nine-square grid problem.
The difficulty of this question is self-evident, and it is extremely time-consuming, making it almost impossible in a short time.
In fact, in the past few days, the teachers at Tianli Academy have been calculating the palace grid behind them.
But so far, the best result is only the thirty-sixth square.
And the vast majority of people have stopped moving forward.
Yes! I can't figure it out, I don't have enough brain power.
Zhou Yingkui himself could only calculate to the forty-nine palace grids. This was not the result of him alone, but the combined contribution of the entire Tianli Academy and the masters.
The difficulty can be imagined.
Zhou Yingkui couldn't help but look at Lin Bai at this time and said: "Mr. Lin, Tianli Academy welcomes Mr. Lin to visit you at any time, but if you want to marry layman Baiyun, then I have no choice but to do this."
Damn it, I just want to eat soft rice.
This is provoking someone.
Shouldn't the science girl get married now that she's so old?
The great talent felt full of malice from the entire Wu Dynasty. Travelers shouldn't be given preferential treatment, and everyone should be cheering for talented people and beauties. Why did he become so different now?
Forget it if there is no system, what about the domineering aura of the time traveler?
However, this soft rice guy is determined to take it.
Isn't it just a nine-square grid number?
Lin Bai would never tell Zhou Yingkui that he had studied this stuff a long time ago. When he was in school, he once defeated his math teacher with a roast duck.
There are actually rules for this thing, and the rules for odd-numbered squares are more obvious.
The rules of the accidental palace grid are less obvious.
Of course, there are rules, but it is not that easy to find the rules and write them down.
Especially in this era, there were no Arabic numerals, so it would be even less obvious to list them, and just writing those numbers would be tiring. In comparison, Arabic numerals are much simpler.
It’s also more intuitive.
Everyone was bowing their heads in deep thought and pondering carefully.
But the talented man was thinking, if he wrote it directly, would it be too high-profile?
Afraid of a ball!
Zhuiyue is right, my uncle should keep a high profile. He is here to steal the wife, and he is still tangled up in wool.
Immediately, he stopped talking and started writing on the paper.
The sixteenth-order magic square is also called the fourth-order magic square. The sum of the horizontal, vertical and oblique numbers is equal to thirty-four. The fifth-order magic square, the sum of the numbers is sixty-five...
However, even if you master the rules of this thing, it is still very cumbersome to write.
If you don't master the rules and rely entirely on yourself to deduce it, let alone, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
You can understand it just by looking at the looks of the people around you.
All of them frowned.
Above the attic, Chu Xiangyun was also filling out the form quickly, her eyes brightening, and on the paper in her hand, a fifth-order magic square was quickly completed.
Subconsciously, she looked at Lin Bai, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, with a hint of provocation.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded, "Master Zhou, this prince is already well."
It was Gu Qianmo, he had successfully calculated the seventh-order magic square.
Zhou Yingkui was obviously startled for a moment. He took the paper from the other party and looked at it with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"I'm fine too!"
"And I!"
At this time, two more voices rang.
Zhou Yingkui's expression froze, and he took the paper they submitted and looked at it. A flash of anger appeared in his eyes, and he subconsciously looked at the other disciples from Tianli Academy not far away.
…
Some people died, but not completely...
