Hong Kong movies: Do you love your sister-in-law or gold?

Chapter 16 Written test, is that causing trouble? (Please read on)
"I'm sorry!" The girl apologized shyly, and even stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.

When the girl smiled shyly and sweetly, her two rabbit teeth flashed unconsciously.

Liu Jianming looked at the youthful figures in the front row and couldn't help but sigh: The rabbit policewoman has come true!

At this time, two examiners in police uniforms entered the examination room, and everyone took out their stationery to prepare for the exam.

The tall examiner said at this time: "Everyone, put your belongings in your bags and bring them to the front desk."

The short examiner opened the test paper and said, "You are not allowed to bring your own stationery in this exam."

"When you put your bags at the front desk, each person can take a pen and an auxiliary stationery."

The candidates stretched their necks to look at the front desk and found pens and pencils there.

Auxiliary stationery includes: eraser, compass, ruler, calculator, etc.

The examination for cadet police officers is a comprehensive examination.

It is a comprehensive course consisting of general knowledge, English, literature and history, mathematics, physics and chemistry.

For some math problems, one auxiliary stationery is not enough!

Not to mention, who can guarantee that there won't be any mistakes or corrections? Then an eraser is almost necessary.

Liu Jianming came to his senses and realized that this exam was not just about the questions on the paper; the assessment began from that moment on.

Because the number of erasers is limited and calculators are a time-saver for math questions, as soon as the examiner finished speaking, more than a dozen people rushed to the front desk to grab the advantageous stationery.

Zhao Jiabao is worthy of being the future Murong Fu. He is smart and agile, and is one of the first few students to grab the calculator.

Liu Jianming noticed that the "bunny girl" in front of him was frightened by the situation and did not move.

Liu Jianming patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry about your choice. The most important thing about the police profession is fairness, so it's okay."

The girl came back to her senses and said with a grateful smile: "Thank you, classmate. My name is Ma Ailin. Please take care of me in the future."

Liu Jianming noticed that apart from himself and Ma Ailin, only the arrogant Li Boqiao did not step forward to grab the stationery.

Maybe it's his slow temper, or maybe he was born to be a maintainer of order.

Li Baiqiao was the third to last person to choose, and with very few options left, he chose a pen and a ruler.

Next were Ma Ailin and Liu Jianming, who only had one pen, one pencil, one ruler and one compass left.

Liu Jianming asked Ma Ailin to choose first. The girl was kind-hearted and left the pen to him and chose a pencil and ruler.

After everyone had chosen their stationery, the tall examiner began to distribute the test papers and the short examiner began to read out the examination rules.

"Listen carefully to the rules I'm telling you. If you violate any of them, your score will be reset to zero and you'll be required to take your belongings and leave."

"Rule number one: you are not allowed to discuss the exam questions or pass on answers."

"Rule number two, no cheat sheets or other materials allowed."

"Rule three: If you don't answer the questions according to the rules, or leave any questions blank, you will still be eliminated, even if you have passed the passing score on other questions."

The students didn't take the first two rules seriously at all, thinking that they were the same as any other exam.

Only the third rule is bizarre. What does it mean? It forces people to answer questions they don't know, even if they give random answers?
Otherwise, will students who score higher than the passing score on other questions also be eliminated?

After the students received the test papers and read all the questions and requirements on both sides of the page, everyone was a little confused.

Ma Ailin turned around and gave Liu Jianming a bitter smile with some apology.

Although this exam covers all subjects, the question types are only multiple-choice questions and a series of essay questions at the end.

The test paper clearly states that all answers to multiple-choice and true-or-false questions must be filled in on the answer sheet in pencil. The larger questions at the end require answers in pen.

The scores for the multiple-choice judgment questions were much higher than the passing score, so those who chose pencil at the beginning breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as you improve your accuracy in answering multiple-choice questions, you still have a chance to pass the test.

Moreover, with this distribution of question types, students who only got pens will be eliminated even if they got all the answers right, which greatly boosts the confidence of students who chose pencils.

However, with the announcement of the third rule, the big question after choosing pencil cannot be left blank, and "answering randomly with pencil" is not acceptable.

Because the rule is "answer the questions as required", a pen is required, and it is useless to answer the questions correctly with a pencil.

Most of the students dared not speak out, and the first one to lose his temper was Zhong Liwen.

He slammed his hands on the table, causing the pencil and eraser he had chosen to jump.

"You're just stirring up trouble! If you don't want to recruit anyone this time, just say so! Why are you teasing us?"

Some other students began to join in the noise.

Li Baiqiao is a man of few words, but he is not afraid of trouble. He said: "You are deceiving the public. I will complain to the police headquarters."

"If the internal affairs don't take action, I will write to the Governor and expose it to the media!"

The tall police officer completely ignored him and sneered, "Those who don't want to answer the questions can pack up and leave now. You can complain to anywhere you want!"

Zhong Liwen was the first to stand up and leave, but he noticed that Liu Jianming hadn't moved. One of his motivations for applying to the police academy was to crush Liu Jianming.

So unless Liu Jianming retreats, he won't retreat first.

Liu Jianming smiled and patted Ma Ailin, saying, "Don't be sorry. You do the multiple-choice questions first, and I'll do the big questions first, then we'll exchange pens."

Ma Ailin's lively eyes widened. "Can you change the pen?"

Liu Jianming smiled and looked at the short examiner and said, "The examiner said at the beginning that if you violate any of the three rules, you will be eliminated immediately."

"We negotiated to exchange pens, and it didn't violate any rules. According to the spirit of the rule of law, anything is allowed unless prohibited by law!"

Liu Jianming's communication was originally intended to wake up Zhong Liwen and Li Baiqiao, so he did not hide anything.

When the other students heard this, they all looked at the two examiners. Seeing that Liu Jianming was not kicked out of the examination room, they understood.

It turns out that the reason for limiting everyone to choose stationery at the beginning was to allow everyone to "collaborate" and exchange and share stationery during the exam.

Liu Jianming smiled and explained to Ma Ailin, "Thousands of people apply for the Hong Kong police each round, but in the end, only about 300 are successfully hired."

"If we look at the elimination rates of each process, we will find that the first round of written examination has the highest elimination rate."

"There were nearly 60 people in this examination room, and only a dozen or so passed the written test."

Before Ma Ailin could understand what was going on, Zhao Jiabao continued to explain:
"Everyone in the exam room is a competitor. Even if they need to change pens, they will deliberately pick on the weaker students and eliminate those who look strong."

Zhao Jiabao then said jokingly, "Brother Ming, you and Ailin are both academic masters. Hurry up and finish your homework. Please lend me your pen later!"

After some bargaining, most of the other students reached a pen exchange agreement with the students around them.

But there were also a few nerdy-looking ones who were eliminated by other candidates.

Liu Jianming noticed that Zhong Liwen and Li Baiqiao disliked each other, but in the end they sat in the same corner of the examination room and their stationery was complementary, so they had no choice but to help each other if they wanted to pass.

An hour into the exam, several curses such as "Fuck you" and "Pujiezai" were heard from different places in the exam room.

Those who finish the test quickly have already discovered the new huge pitfall!
