Next was the speech by the chairman of the organizing committee of the mathematics competition.
The chairman of the organizing committee of the mathematics competition is named Orlando Stevens. He is a middle-aged man wearing a suit. He stands on the stage of the concert hall and looks at the faces of the members of the national team that are full of people. His face Show a warm smile.
Stevens spoke, "I am very happy that everyone can come as scheduled and meet at the opening ceremony of this International Mathematics Competition. I am the chairman of the organizing committee of this competition, Orlando Stevens, and I represent E On behalf of the organizing committee of this competition, we welcome everyone to come."
The audience burst into warm applause.
Stevens continued: "I know that in order to prepare for this International Mathematics Competition, everyone has worked very hard and put in a lot of effort. You have come from all over the world for a common goal. This The goal is not only to win the championship in this international mathematics competition, but also to promote the development of mathematics."
"Only when the field of mathematics develops rapidly, can the rest of us continue to fight for it, discover the secrets of mathematics, and discover the beauty of mathematics. I hope that everyone can do their best in this competition and not let down their efforts. and sweat, and don’t let down the expectations of all those who are looking forward to it.”
"On behalf of the competition organizing committee, I hereby promise that the organizing committee and review team of this mathematics competition will uphold the principles of fairness, justice and openness in judging the results and performance of all participating team members."
"Here, I announce that the 15th International Mathematics Competition has officially been held!"
After the scene was quiet for two seconds, a tsunami of applause broke out, and the reporter's camera also captured this precious scene.
The opening ceremony ended successfully. It was already noon. Everyone still had the last half day to get news. Tomorrow would be the official competition. Everyone no longer wanted to play around, and they all concentrated in Yu Qi's room, doing the final work. Sprint and review.
In fact, everyone is not worried about the content of the written test. It is just about going over and over again to test the knowledge points. The only thing that needs to be paid attention to may be that there will be traps in the questions to attract people to jump below.
But before, everyone has done a lot of specific training and is fully prepared, so there is no need to worry. The real variables are in the free question selection session the day after tomorrow to explain your ideas, because in this session, you may draw something like A very difficult question may also be a mathematical conjecture.
If it's the former, it's nothing more than problem solving, just done in the form of explanations. But if you get some kind of mathematical conjecture or theory, it's hard to explain.
Because mathematical conjectures are called conjectures, they are people’s mathematical ideas that have not yet been proven. Let’s not talk about whether the answer is right or wrong. Just being able to explain it logically and have a certain idea is already very difficult. .
At this stage, even if you are prepared in advance, have researched many mathematical conjectures or theories, or even prepared a manuscript in advance, it is of little significance, because what the review team wants to hear is an explanation with your own ideas and new ideas. , they will also ask random questions, making it difficult for people to detect. It is easy to identify whether it is the player's own thing.
Moreover, there is no clear answer to this link. The judging panel's scoring is very subjective. It just so happens that their Chinese team is not very popular. With these double buffs stacked up, it is really very confusing.
"What do you think about this free explanation session?" Yu Qi asked everyone.
His tone was a bit serious, because in previous competitions, the Chinese team scored very low in this link. In fact, their results in the written test were not bad, but this link was a drag.
The Chinese team, which answered the questions well on the test paper, felt as if their throats were being strangled during the free explanation session, unable to say much of value.
So gradually, other countries' impression of Chinese mathematics is that they don't have their own ideas, they just immerse themselves in solving problems, and they don't know anything else.
In the previous training, everyone also had a lot of exercises in this area. For example, Yu Qi created a small game that asked everyone to go back and think about a question like this every night, no matter what mathematical theorem or conjecture it was, and write it down early the next morning. On the paper, everyone randomly draws, and the person who draws has to improvise the topic on the paper. After training like this, the effect is quite significant.
Everyone is selected from all over the country. They are young and smart. Although Yu Qi is worried, he is not very nervous, but it is the eve of the competition and he still wants to hear everyone's opinions.
Everyone scratched their heads. Although everyone knew what was going on, they just didn't know what to say.
Yu Qi looked at Su Qingyun and said, "Qingyun, tell me."
Su Qingyun thought for a while and said only four words, "According to circumstances."
Yu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, adapting to the situation. The four words may sound simple, but in fact they are the most difficult. For any question drawn, you must clarify your thoughts as quickly as possible, follow the logic, and then organize the language. This series of things are all within the scope of adaptability and are very difficult.
But Yu Qi thought about Su Qingyun's performance in the past, and couldn't say anything to calm her down, because whether it was the questions on the test paper or this kind of explanation, she was so perfect that she couldn't make any mistakes. It requires logic and logic, ideas and ideas, and new ideas. He gets excited every time he hears them.
He felt relieved about Su Qingyun, but others...
Yu Qi's eyes swept over Chen Zheyu, Li Siyuan and others one by one. None of them showed any flinch on their faces, they all looked confident.
They have talent and drive. Yu Qi feels that he should believe in them, otherwise, he would not have selected them to compete abroad.
Don't be suspicious when you employ people, don't use people when you are suspicious.
"Okay, since we are adapting to the situation, let's play the last note game." Yu Qi looked at the time, "Within ten minutes, everyone will think of a question, write it on the note, and exchange pairs."
"good."
Everyone got into action and concentrated on the final sprint before the competition. For them, this was not just a math competition, but also about the honor and dignity of the country. No one wanted to lose, everyone wanted to win. Yes, as long as you have a heart that wants to win, you can move forward.
This kind of scene can also be seen in other representative teams. No matter how confident you are in your abilities, now is not the time to take it lightly. Everything is unknown until the last moment.
The world is undecided, and you and I are both dark horses.
