Tuya and Wang Chun rode one behind the other, riding horses to chase each other. Their archery skills were almost equally matched.
After shooting the ninth arrow, both sides hit the bullseye.
If the last arrow fails to produce a deviation, the competition will be a draw.
But as a man and a celebrity in Hangzhou, if he is tied with a woman, he will inevitably make people laugh.
Wang Chun's tenth arrow shot preemptively, and "whoosh" he shot through the bull's-eye!
Tuya had no choice but to shoot the arrow at the outer ring of the bull's eye.
Wang Chun raised his bow and shouted: "I win!"
"Why did you win? There was no arrow in your bullseye. It was clearly Tuya who won!" Liu Xinnan retorted.
"Tsk... The tens of thousands of eyes present saw that my arrow hit the bull's-eye, but it was just a little stronger and penetrated the bull's-eye!"
"This is obviously a despicable trick on your part, deliberately shooting through the bullseye so that Tuya can't focus! You still claim to be a gentleman, you are simply a despicable person!"
"Oh? If you can't afford to lose, you can't afford to lose, so why make excuses? If she is strong enough, she can shoot through the bull's-eye, but she doesn't have this ability!"
"You are shameless!"
The two academies continued to argue over this sudden incident.
The pressure came to Liu Boyong inadvertently.
"Don't argue anymore. Mr. Wang and Mrs. Tuya have superb shooting skills. It is obvious to everyone that the bullseye was shot through. The biggest fault lies with me. I failed to prepare a stronger target, so this... this, in my opinion, This first match is considered a draw, right?"
Liu Boyong is also a smart man and knows how to put the responsibility on himself. After all, he is the governor of Lin'an, and both parties will buy him face.
"That's all, since you are a prostitute, I'll be more generous and won't argue with you any more. Let's call it a draw!" Wang Chun spoke boldly and said harshly: "But the rest of the calculation will not be accidental!"
Pooh!
Everyone moved to Linjiang Pavilion.
Seats have been prepared in the cabinet. Lingyin Academy is on the left and Xiaoxiang Academy is on the right. The former is headed by Cao Guojin and the latter is headed by Shen Wenjun. The confrontation between the two sides is full of gunpowder.
"Let me first talk about the rules of the second arithmetic competition. Each side will present a question. If they can stump the other party, they will be considered a winner. If they can't, they will keep asking questions. Each round of problem-solving time is half a stick of incense. Both parties present can work together. cooperation……"
After Liu Boyong stated the rules, he looked around and asked: "So between the two sides, who will ask the question first?"
Anyway, they have to give questions and explain each other, and it doesn't matter who comes first. Shen Wenjun made a gesture of invitation to Cao Guojin, indicating that he should come first.
Cao Guojin clapped his hands, and two students walked into the lobby carrying a basket of peaches. He said:
"As you can see, there is a basket of spring peaches here. There are two left in the three and three numbers, three in the five and five numbers, and two in the seven and seven numbers. Please tell me the number of spring peaches in this basket. geometry?"
"Sister, give me this opportunity!" Liu Xiang'er raised her hand first.
Shen Wenjun asked her in a low voice: "Are you sure? Don't make a joke then."
"Don't worry, my brother-in-law taught me that division method. Even an eight-year-old child can do this problem." Liu Xiang'er touched her chest, confidently left her seat and walked to the lobby.
This kind of residual problem, to put it bluntly, is to find common multiples without even using equations. How difficult can it be?
Liu Xiang'er came to the inscription board with lime in hand and said while writing:
"Two of three and three are left, and two of seven and seven are left, which means that the number of spring peaches in this basket is at least divisible by three and seven. According to the multiplication table, three and seven is equal to twenty-one. Twenty-one If there is a difference of two, add two to this number, so that there are twenty-three spring peaches in the basket;
Looking back at the second count, five to five leaves three, one to five makes five, two to five to ten, three to five to five, four to five to twenty, and when the fifth five is counted, there are exactly three left, and so on. This is enough to prove that there are twenty-three spring peaches in this basket. "
After saying that, he threw away the plaster in his hand and looked arrogantly at the Confucian students of Lingyin Academy: "How? Am I right?"
The faces of all the scholars were gloomy, and it seemed that they were right.
In order to show fairness, Liu Boyong poured out the spring peaches from the basket and counted them one by one in front of everyone. He counted twenty-three.
"This first question is just an appetizer. The answer is nothing. Please give me the question." Cao Guojin asked for instructions.
Shen Wenjun clapped his hands.
Two boys walked into the lobby, each holding a porcelain urn.
"Since Lingyin Academy just gave us a math problem, we at Xiaoxiang Academy will also give you one," Shen Wenjun pointed at the porcelain man and said: "Here are two jars of green and one white pearls, totaling one hundred and seventy-six. If I take fifteen pearls from the green urn and put them into the white urn, then there will be eight more pearls in the green urn than in the white urn. How many pearls are there in each of these two porcelain urns?"
This is a complex sum and difference problem. If your thinking is not flexible enough, it will be difficult to solve it in a short time.
"Master Liu, what are you still doing? It's time to light the incense." Song Che said softly.
Liu Boyong personally lit half a stick of incense, and the disintegration time began. The twenty Confucian scholars from Lingyin Academy lowered their heads as they wrote, all showing nervous expressions.
Gradually, the incense has burned more than half.
Seeing that the student hadn't solved the answer yet, Zeng Hou became impatient. He called to Liu Boyong: "Close the window quickly, the wind is blowing in!"
Does closing the window help? If my brain is not working well, let alone half a stick of incense, I can't even figure it out in half a day.
At the last moment when the incense burns out.
"I've figured it out!" A Confucian scholar shouted excitedly: "There are one hundred and seven pearls in the green urn, and 69 pearls in the white urn!"
The time was up, and even if he made a mistake, there was no chance to correct it. Liu Boyong ordered his men to count the pearls. Shen Wenjun said bluntly:
"There's no need to count. He got it right. The green urn is one hundred and seven, and the white urn is sixty-nine."
After hearing this, all the scholars in Lingyin Academy felt relieved.
"Dean Cao, why don't you let your students explain to us how to solve the problem?" Shen Wenjun asked intentionally.
Cao Guojin winked at the Confucian scholar who was the first to solve the problem, and the Confucian scholar walked up to the problem board and began to answer it eloquently.
Not to mention other people, even Song Che was confused. No wonder it took them so long to calculate. They didn't master the problem-solving skills to get the correct answer. It was obvious that there was an element of confusion.
"Okay, okay, with your teaching level, can you teach students well? I'm afraid you, the teacher, can't understand it, right?" Liu Xinnan kicked the Confucian scholar off the shelf.
The Confucian scholar knew that he could not explain clearly, so he returned to his seat with a red face.
"Academician Cao, please continue with the questions." Shen Wenjun calmly signaled.
Cao Guojin suddenly stood up, walked to the fence of the attic, pointed to the top of Linjiang Pavilion and said: "The next question is to measure the height of Linjiang Pavilion, but it is required that during the measurement, no ruler or waiting is allowed. Compared with bamboo poles and other objects for measurement."
"Aren't you making things difficult for me? You don't use a ruler to measure, but you use your eyes to measure it? Who can measure it accurately?"
"Yeah, it's as promised, but why does it involve measuring the height of the building? This is obviously a foul!"
In Xiaoxiang Academy, many people were dissatisfied.
Cao Guojin said coldly: "Our Lingyin Academy is well-known, so why would we give you unsolvable questions to make things difficult for you? If you really feel that you can't answer it, you can just admit defeat, and I will announce the answer later."
"Husband, what do you think about this question?" Shen Wenjun asked Song Che for help with his eyes.
This competition was between a boys' school and a girls' school. Even if Song Che had the means, he couldn't intervene directly. He only said: "Think carefully about what I taught you last night."
Qin Ruo said: "The love lasted until midnight last night, who remembers what you taught me?"
Song Che pursed his lips and thought for a while. Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He pinched the buttocks of Qin Ruo and Shen Wenjun respectively with his hands, "Do you understand this?"
Shen Wenjun and Qin Ruo were both smart people. They looked at each other with red faces and said four words in unison:
"Pythagorean Theorem!"
