The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 11 Awesome!

The one and a half hour math test was probably the most torturous hour and a half Xiao Yi had ever experienced in such a long time.

Why one and a half hours? Because the math test lasts two hours and you can hand in the paper half an hour in advance.

It only took him 20 minutes to finish all the questions, and the draft paper was of no use at all.

For such a simple problem, does anyone still need to use scratch paper to calculate it step by step?

Isn't it possible to just answer the questions directly on the answer sheet with your eyes closed?

Finally, after finishing all the questions in 20 minutes, he didn't know what to do. There were still 70 minutes left before the deadline to hand in the paper, so he spent minutes reviewing the knowledge he had learned before in his mind, and then spent another minutes challenging himself to find the simplest solution to the final question.

Finally, he successfully compressed the solution to the problem into five lines, a total of 43 characters, which made him feel a little more meaningful.

Compared with the 9 lines and 86 characters on the answer sheet, it is exactly half shorter.

This was the simplest method he could find within 40 minutes.

Finally, at this moment, the bell rang, and he immediately raised his hand to indicate that he had handed in the paper.

The invigilator came over quickly. Since he was not the invigilator for the Chinese exam in the morning, he didn't know that this was the second time Xiao Yi handed in his paper half an hour early.

However, the other candidates in the examination room were very clear about it.

What the hell?

Why did this guy hand in the paper early again?

They were already surprised that he could hand in the Chinese paper half an hour early in the morning, but handing in the Chinese paper early would only make people slightly surprised at most. In fact, there were other people who could hand in the paper twenty minutes or ten minutes early, so at most people would just sigh at how fast this guy writes.

But mathematics is different.

Handing in the paper early might be because one can't continue, but in their examination room, this possibility is very small, and it is basically a complete reflection of one's strength.

Everyone in the examination room could deeply feel how difficult the mathematics test was. No matter whether it was multiple-choice or fill-in-the-blank questions, the final questions were extremely difficult. There were many people who wasted dozens of minutes on these two questions and still couldn't finish them. As a result, most people have only just started to work on the solution questions, or have just finished the first two solution questions, with half an hour left before the end of the exam.

There are still several dozen points of questions left to be answered!
So why on earth was this guy able to hand in his paper early?

Could it be that this guy was very wise and did not do those two questions, thus saving a lot of time, and then for the subsequent questions he only wrote down the ones he knew how to answer and skipped the ones he did not know, so he was able to hand in the paper half an hour earlier?

But no matter which possibility it was, they were already becoming nervous.

Chen Wei, who was in the same examination room, watched Xiao Yi walk out of the examination room and his eyelids twitched.
He couldn't help but think of what Xiao Yi had said before, that he was the mysterious sophomore student who had solved several math competition problems in the senior year department.

Could it really be this kid?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
After all, everyone agreed to stay together in the fourth examination room until the end of time, Xiao Yi should be able to keep his promise...

Right?
"Don't look at others, just keep doing your own questions. Whatever others write is theirs. Whatever you write is yours."

When the invigilator saw that other candidates were affected by Xiao Yi's early submission of the paper, he reminded them.

Then he picked up Xiao Yi's test paper, looked it up and down, and then amazement appeared in his eyes.

This student...

Amazing!
You finished writing all of it in just one and a half hours?

And the multiple choice questions… all correct, the fill-in-the-blank questions… the first three correct, the fourth…

The invigilator was a math teacher. During the exam just now, he also did the questions on the test paper out of boredom. His answers to other questions were the same as Xiao Yi's, but for the fourth fill-in-the-blank question, their results were different. Xiao Yi's result had an extra "0" than his.

He thought about it carefully and immediately realized that he had failed to consider the case where the condition was zero when solving the problem.

Therefore, Xiao Yi’s answer is correct!

Perhaps he did not consider this situation because he was an invigilator rather than a candidate, so he was not too careful, but at this moment, in his heart, he had to admire this student named Xiao Yi.

Great!

When I looked at the class again, I found out that it was Science Class 3.

This should be even better than the students in the science class, right?

He shook his head and was about to look at the answer questions. However, at this moment, Xiao Yi's draft paper suddenly caught his attention.

When he picked it up and looked at it, he frowned slightly.

Ok?
Why are all the questions written on the draft paper the same?

Seems like the final question?

He looked at it carefully again, and finally, when he understood what was written on the draft paper, the invigilator -

Numb.

……

Monitoring room.

"He... handed in the paper early again."

"If we are not mistaken, he actually finished all the questions around the 20th minute."

There was silence.

Otherwise it couldn't explain why Xiao Yi was in a daze for a full 20 minutes 30 minutes after the exam started, and then scribbled on the draft paper for another 40 minutes.

"It was finished in 20 minutes. Isn't this a bit... too exaggerated?" Chen Liang couldn't help but say.

Luo Penghua: "Maybe... there is a little bit of this?"

Qin Song: “But that’s the truth.”

There was another moment of silence.

Until the end, Luo Penghua laughed: "At least, for now, this exam is really not a big problem for Xiao Yi."

Qin Song nodded: "That's true."

"Okay, today's exam is over. Let's go and see how their math papers are graded tonight. I hope they can give us a surprise."

Chen Liang said: "Remember to tell me when you have the results."

"no problem."

……

The last half hour passed quickly, and as the bell rang, it also meant that all exams for today were over.

The students then have a two-hour break before attending evening self-study classes after 7pm.

Today, the teachers of the two exams will start marking the test papers, and the results will generally be counted one day after the exams.

So, on this evening, the Chinese and mathematics teachers were the busiest.

The scene of marking the mathematics papers for Grade 12 students.

"The test questions this time are indeed quite difficult. Not a single student in the first examination room scored a perfect score."

"The highest scorer is Shen Xing, with 148 points. He missed the last step in the final question, but this step is indeed a difficult one."

"148 points is not bad. It should be the highest in the whole grade."

The teachers who were marking the papers were chatting with each other while marking the papers.

Most teachers agreed with the conclusion that "148 is the highest score."

But at this moment, a famous teacher suddenly said: "That's not necessarily true. We will move to the fourth examination room later. There is a student who might give you a scare."

This teacher is the one who invigilates the mathematics exam in the fourth examination room!
