From all-round academic master to chief scientist

Because the state requires that scores cannot be disclosed, although this policy is not fully implemented in various schools, it is still followed in this kind of national competition, so the score tables these students see are divided according to the number of prizes. of.

Of course, in the list of winners, the order actually represents the ranking, which is also an unspoken rule.

Therefore, the players present in Qin Province all know that the first place in their province is Lin Xiao, but they don't know Lin Xiao's results.

As a result, now that I heard what Professor Zhang said, this guy is actually a perfect boss.

These eleven boys all looked at Lin Xiao. Some students knew that they were just here for a formality, and they couldn't help but show admiration in their eyes. Some boys, based on the male's natural unwillingness to admit defeat, felt that he could take his place. .

Just like Wang Yang, when he looked at Lin Xiao, he was surprised at first because he got a perfect score, and then he became full of fighting spirit.

Even if Lin Xiao gets full marks, after entering the national training team, there will still be several months before the national team players are selected.

He feels that he has every chance to join the national training team, and then he may have a chance to compete for the six-member national team position.

As for Lin Xiao, it may not be possible to successfully enter the six-man team.

And Lin Xiao certainly had no intention of caring about what these boys were thinking.

Speaking of which, among these eleven people, five are from the High School Affiliated to XJTU, three are from Tie No. 1 Middle School, two are from Gaoxin No. 1 Middle School, and one is from the High School Affiliated to Jiaotong University. They are all students in Xijing. I can’t help but There was some gap between the city and him, who was studying in Jincheng, so Lin Xiao didn't have the energy to build a good relationship with these people.

So he didn't waste any time. After saying goodbye, he went directly back to the room where he and his parents were.

However, when he returned to the room, he saw his parents dressed up and ready to go out.

He was stunned and asked, "Do you want to go out?"

"Oh, your mother and I will go shopping in Hangzhou and see the West Lake. Your mother said she wanted to come to Hangzhou many years ago."

Lin Xiao: "Oh, wait for me, I'll go to the toilet first."

"Don't go. Stay in the hotel and study hard. We'll talk about the other exams after you finish them."

Lin Xiao: "???"

Are you going out to play without me?

Who said just a few days ago that he was proud of my son?

However, Father Lin and Mother Lin went out directly. Before going out, Mother Lin said to Lin Xiao with a smile: "Study hard!"

Lin Xiao: "..."

Still no longer biological!

ヾ(｀Д)彡

But there is no other way, everyone is gone, so I can only study.

He walked to the schoolbag he had carried, and found the advanced mathematics he had brought with him, as well as some advanced mathematics papers, as well as pens and paper. Then he sat down at a table in the room and began to study. stand up.

Yes, the CMO exam was about to start in two days, but instead of reading the CMO league test questions, he actually looked at advanced mathematics.

If Professor Zhang, who educated the other eleven candidates, knew about it, he would probably have to give him a sentence or two.

CMO does not test knowledge such as calculus. CMO still tests the four major categories, algebra, combinatorial, geometry, and number theory.

However, for Lin Xiao, there is no need to do these questions anymore, just do them occasionally.

You know, in the past twenty days since the league results came out, he has been doing the real questions that Teacher Ding Ping compiled for him.

There are more than two hundred competition questions. If you follow the competition time, each question takes an average of one and a half hours. However, he has finished all these questions, and each question only takes half an hour on average.

Although he encountered some difficulties during the process, in general, he didn't find anything that could really stump him.

That is to say, some of the questions asked in the national team selection examination are difficult. As for the IMO questions, it does not necessarily mean that they are more difficult than the CMO. Sometimes the CMO questions may be more difficult than the IMO.

Of course, whether it is difficult or not is a relative concept. After all, different people have different priorities, and luck is also a problem. Therefore, in the IMO competition, some people even scored 42 points out of 42, but only got 3 points. For this In this situation, you obviously can't say 'I can do it if I go'. After all, if you go, you may not even get 1 point.

You know, what is mathematics?

Mathematics is:

What can't you do if you beat me to death?

Even if you beat me to death, I can't solve this question!

All in all, Lin Xiao is fully confident to enter the national training team. As for the subsequent selection of the IMO national team, that will be in March next year, and there are still several months in between.

So, don’t worry, let’s play with the high numbers first.

This was also an early preparation for entering university, although he was almost a year ahead of schedule.

In addition, he has now begun to study college mathematics, and because the world in college mathematics is more complex than high school mathematics, he can feel a sense of satisfaction in his brain when solving problems.

Of course, what he writes is the kind of questions that can be regarded as competition level in college mathematics, such as questions for college students' mathematics competitions. Otherwise, some ordinary advanced mathematics questions are really not as good as what he is doing now. Olympiad questions.

…

Time passed slowly like this.

This winter camp actually doesn't feel like a 'camp'. The first day is registration, the second day is the opening ceremony in the morning, the afternoon is spent getting familiar with the examination room, and then the day is over again, and the third day is November 15th. , the official game begins.

At nine o'clock in the evening the day before the exam, the two coaches held a meeting for them again to relieve them of stress and wish them good results.

After it was over, they returned to their room and prepared to rest.

Of course, Lin Xiao also received encouragement and encouragement from her parents, although before they encouraged her, they were discussing whether to go to Lingyin Temple or Wuzhen tomorrow.

A night of silence.

At seven o'clock in the morning the next day, more than 300 contestants from all over the country got on the shuttle bus and rushed to the examination room after breakfast.

At 7:40, Lin Xiao entered his examination room and sat in his seat.

At eight o'clock, the first day of the 33rd National Mathematics Olympiad Competition officially begins.

CMO is divided into two days, with three exams each day, lasting 4.5 hours, with an average of one and a half hours per question, exactly the same as the IMO format.

More than 300 students will also have a brainstorming session here that belongs to geniuses.
