The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 2 The mysterious “math expert”

Chen Liang, the head teacher, who had been waiting for the talented student with a smile on his face and was already thinking about how to praise him, lost his smile when he saw that no student stood up for a long time.

He frowned, then said, "The student who solved this problem, please come out quickly. Don't keep Professor Liu waiting for too long. This opportunity is rare."

As the head of the grade, Chen Liang was a very prestigious person in the senior grade department, and the students basically respected and feared him, so under normal circumstances, if he said this, the student should have come out.

However, embarrassingly, the student still did not come forward.

Everyone looked at each other.

At this point, we should consider that the student is probably not at the scene.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the student who solved this problem looked down on Huazhong University of Science and Technology and found a better place to go.

However, if this possibility were to be spoken out, it would obviously be a sign of low EQ, after all, Professor Liu was right next to him.

However, the possibility of this happening is somewhat low, because they have already informed in advance those students who have better opportunities and are capable of solving this problem not to write this question, leaving the opportunity to other students.

So those students probably wouldn't do that either.

Thinking of this, Chen Liang turned around and said to Liu Bin apologetically: "Professor Liu, the student may not be here. How about this, you go to the office and rest first, and I will check the surveillance and find the student. How about that?"

However, at this time, Liu Bin shook his head, touched his chin, and then said: "No, I thought of a better way."

"I think this math expert may think that the question I asked is a bit too simple, and then he may think that the math strength of our Huazhong University of Science and Technology is not good enough. So, I will ask another question, and I will also put it here tomorrow morning. Welcome that student to continue to challenge."

"Of course, other students can also come and give it a try. The rewards I mentioned before remain unchanged."

"However, the difficulty of this question..."

Liu Bin smiled slightly, "It should be more difficult."

The students present covered their faces.

day.

They are already helpless with today's question. If it were to be more difficult, who would be able to handle it?
Well, most likely we can only rely on that mysterious “math expert”.

……

In this way, a day passed quietly.

The next morning, a second small blackboard appeared at the same location as promised, with another math problem written on it.

The blackboard from yesterday was not removed and was still placed in the same place. The question and the short six-line proof were still on it and had not been erased.

This is used to compare handwriting. If the second question is still solved, by comparing the handwriting, it is easy to see whether it was done by the same person.

Just like yesterday, the problem had not been solved until before lunch. There was even a rumor among their senior high school students that one of them, a math genius who won the gold medal in CMO and was admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, said that he couldn't solve this problem either.

This is enough to show that this question is indeed more difficult than yesterday's question, and it is not a little bit more difficult.

At this point, they couldn’t help but wonder, whether that mysterious student could still solve this problem?

However, just when the senior high school students finished their lunch and returned to the classroom for evening self-study, they discovered that the difficult question on the second blackboard had been written again!

……

"Oh my god, this problem can actually be solved using Euler's formula? What the hell... is this a god?" "And the handwriting is the same. The word 'solution' at the beginning looks like it was copied and pasted..."

The blackboard was once again crowded with senior high school students. Looking at the problem-solving process there, a short eight lines, although two lines more than yesterday's problem, it made the students present sweat profusely once again.

The difficulty of today's question is one or two levels higher than that of yesterday's question, but it was still solved in just eight lines. If this isn't divine, then what is?
Of course, the "newbies" who couldn't even understand the question couldn't help but ask weakly when they heard the "big guys" exclaiming: "What is this? What is Euler's formula?"

"Euler's formula, also known as God's formula, is awesome anyway. As for what this is..." The "big brother" also said weakly: "I want to know too."

Soon, the teachers came over again.

Chen Liang and Liu Bin were the first to walk to the blackboard. Professor Liu looked over the answer to the question carefully, and the surprise on his face was clearly beyond words.

"I can actually think of using Euler's formula... This problem can actually be solved this way..."

He hadn't thought of this at all when he asked the question!

This time, he was truly shocked by the student's talent.

This not only represents the student's broad knowledge, but also represents the student's unique inspiration and talent in solving mathematical problems.

Just like Pei Shu’s theorem yesterday!

He suddenly raised his head and looked around at all the students present.

Those expressions of confusion, envy, or speculation clearly indicated that the student was still not at the scene!

He shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that this math expert is still not here."

"Do you want to see me come up with a more difficult question?"

But at this moment, Chen Liang beside him suddenly pulled Liu Bin and said, "Professor Liu, this student always solves problems during our senior year's meal time. In order to prevent senior year students from waiting in line for too long, our school has implemented a staggered dining system. Therefore... I suspect that the student who solved this problem may be a sophomore or freshman."

When the students around heard Chen Liang's guess, they all gasped.

It seemed to have lowered the already cold weather by a few degrees.

What?
The ones who solved these two problems are not the senior high school students, but the freshmen or sophomores?

Liu Bin was also stunned, and then asked seriously: "Are you sure?"

"It's just a guess, but the probability... should be relatively high." Chen Liang said helplessly.

Liu Bin said: "If this is true, then I might be able to bring back a young talent for our university's junior class."

Chen Liang glared: "What? HKUST Junior Class?"

Who doesn’t know about the Junior Class of HKUST?

The requirement for admission to the junior class at USTC is to be an outstanding young student in the second year of high school or below.

Looking at it this way, it seems like this is really possible?
The many senior high school students present were also stunned.

As senior high school students, they have obviously missed the opportunity to enter the junior class. But now, there is a younger brother or sister hiding next to them. Does he have the opportunity to enter this legendary gathering place for geniuses?
