Zhao Qing is an English teacher. Although she does not know Mathematical Olympiad, seeing such an obvious contrast between the two in solving problems, she felt a little disappointed with Su Qi.
Sure enough, without professional competition training, no matter how smart Su Qi is, she can't compare to Song Xuan.
"Brother Qi, why don't you write?" Seeing that Su Qi remained motionless, Jiang Wenjie became anxious and urged in a low voice from the audience.
Xu Yan also clenched her fists and was so anxious that she couldn't sit still. All the students who were close to Su Qi were sweating for him.
Xue Yingying became more and more proud, "You see, my brother Xuan is the most suitable candidate to participate in the competition."
At this moment, Song Xuan, who had been solving the problem smoothly, suddenly stopped.
There are a few top students in the class who can roughly understand Song Xuan's problem-solving steps, which is a bit strange.
"Didn't Song Xuan reach the last step of writing? Why did it suddenly get stuck?"
"For many difficult problems, the last step is the most difficult. Song Xuan can write so many of them, which is already very impressive."
"That's true. In other words, I can only deduce the first two steps."
"Why doesn't Su Qi write at all? It shouldn't be. With Su Qi's usual performance, even if she hasn't participated in competition training, she should be able to write a little, right?"
"Haha, I definitely won't." Xue Yingying immediately said in a strange manner.
Seeing that Song Xuan did not continue writing, Zhao Qing also smiled slightly, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, student Song Xuan, since you can't figure it out, there's no need to continue writing. It's already good to be able to write so much."
Song Xuan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but when he turned around and saw the blank blackboard in front of Su Qi, he still said nothing.
"Su Qi, there are specialties in the art industry. You haven't participated in competition training, so it's normal that you can't write well. Don't be discouraged."
Su Qi still stared at the question without saying a word, as if she didn't hear what Zhao Qing said.
Zhao Qing turned around helplessly and looked at everyone in the class.
"Everyone has seen that although Su Qi's usual test scores are better, Song Xuan has rich competition experience and a better understanding of competition questions, making him a more suitable candidate to participate in the competition."
Although the students who supported Su Qi were unhappy, they couldn't help Su Qi anymore when they looked at the blackboard that was full on one side and blank on the other.
After Zhao Qing finished speaking, she looked at Su Qi again.
"Su Qi, it doesn't matter if you can't participate in the competition this time. I believe that with your level, as long as you study hard in the next time, you will definitely get the top prize in this year's college entrance examination."
“When I enter college, there will be many opportunities to participate in competitions.”
Zhao Qing originally wanted to comfort Su Qi with a few words, but saw that there was no look of disappointment on the other person's face, and he was still reading the questions.
She could only remind helplessly: "Su Qi, there is no need to solve the problem. The competition between you and Song Xuan is over."
Seeing Su Qi's dull look, Xue Yingying couldn't help but laugh.
"Su Qi is just a nerd. This is a competition. She can't compare with our brother Xuan. Are you dumbfounded?"
"Xue Yingying, go back to your class!" Xu Yan couldn't bear it anymore and pointed at her.
"Tch, you care where I go?" Xue Yingying rolled her eyes, "I'm here to cheer for brother Xuan, what does it have to do with you, an ugly monster?"
"Shut up!" Jiang Wenjie glared at her and raised his fist in a gesture.
Xue Yingying immediately shrank her neck and did not dare to speak anymore.
"Teacher, this is unfair. The school clearly stipulates that the first in the class in this exam can participate in the competition. You can't disqualify Su Qi like this." Su Qi's two roommates complained about him.
"Participating in the competition represents the school's honor. Of course whoever is better will win." Those students who had eaten Song Xuan's snacks also began to speak for Song Xuan.
Just when the two parties were arguing, Su Qi, who had been silent, suddenly looked at Zhao Qing.
"Teacher, you copied the wrong question. The current question stem cannot deduce the last step. There is one missing condition."
Zhao Qing was taken aback, but looking at Su Qi's determined eyes, she still flipped through the question book with hesitation.
Xue Yingying sneered, and while Zhao Qing was comparing the questions, she taunted Su Qi unceremoniously: "Stop talking nonsense, I think you just can't do it, and you are blaming the teacher for writing the wrong question."
Su Qi smiled and said nothing. He never talked with anyone.
Soon, Zhao Qing said in surprise: "Oh my god, Su Qi, you are right, I did miss a condition."
Jiang Wenjie immediately slammed the table and said happily, "Let me just say, Su Qi is so smart, even Song Xuan can easily write the topic, how could he not be able to write it?"
"Why are you talking!" Xue Yingying blushed in embarrassment, but still wanted to defend Song Xuan.
On the podium, Song Xuan's expression became much gloomier.
He just reached the last step of writing and found that he couldn't deduce it no matter how hard he tried, and he vaguely felt that the question was wrong.
But if he really wanted to tell me that there was something wrong with the question, he wouldn't be able to tell.
Moreover, this question requires a lot of calculations. Could it be that Su Qi calculated in his mind until the last step before realizing that the conditions for solving the problem were missing?
If that's the case, then Su Qi's mental arithmetic ability is too terrifying.
"Su Qi, when did you realize that the question was wrong?" Zhao Qing asked curiously.
"Teacher, I just found something wrong after you finished writing, so I have been thinking about what conditions are missing." Su Qi said seriously.
For a moment, everyone in the class was silent.
If a normal academic master finds that the teacher's question is wrong, he will tell the teacher immediately and let the teacher check it.
It was obvious that Su Qi was not an ordinary academic, but a top academic, and she actually thought about how to correct the questions.
After a short silence, a lively discussion broke out in the classroom.
Xu Yan looked at Xue Yingying, whose face was red, and immediately became angry, "Xue Yingying, isn't your brother Xuan very powerful? Why didn't you realize that the question was wrong?"
Jiang Wenjie was also very proud, "A genius is a genius. Song Xuan has participated in so many competition trainings, but isn't he still inferior to Brother Qi?"
Zhao Qing listened to everyone's discussion for a while before knocking on the podium, "Okay, okay, everyone, be quiet."
"Then Su Qi, have you figured out what the missing problem-solving conditions are?"
"I can try it." Su Qi picked up the chalk.
Under the gaze of the whole class, I began to make calculations on the blackboard.
