"The provincial education department attached great importance to the third model test this time. There were no major problems and it was generally impossible for mistakes to be made."
"I guess this third mock test is for the purpose of preparing for the college entrance examination. It is to give students a sense of urgency. Anyway, the higher-ups should have their own plans."
The invigilator smiled bitterly and nodded, "I hope so..."
“Crash.”
Just as the two were still whispering, the sound of test papers flipping was heard, which was particularly noticeable in the originally silent examination room.
The two invigilators and all the candidates looked over.
I saw a candidate writing furiously on the test paper.
He answered the questions directly on the answer sheet without any draft, his pen gliding quickly, and within ten minutes of the start of the test, he had already written on the back of the test paper.
"Oh my god, why does this guy write so fast?"
"I didn't even write a draft. It's just scribbled."
"Haha, even if it's not correct, as long as you can finish it, the invigilator will give you one or two points for hard work."
The examination room suddenly became lively.
"Silence! Violation of exam rules will result in a 50% deduction of your paper score and will be reported to the school for a warning."
After saying that, Teacher Zhang walked down from the podium, frowned and looked at the young man with a look of dissatisfaction.
He also felt that the candidate was just trying to attract attention. After all, he was also a teacher and was sometimes assigned to mark papers. If he didn't write anything randomly, it would not only increase the time required for marking, but also increase the teacher's energy in marking.
Less than twenty minutes again.
Lin Mobai closed the pen cap, crossed his arms, lay on the table and closed his eyes to rest.
"Student! Even if it's not the college entrance examination, you should treat it as such. It's irresponsible of you to just throw it away." Teacher Zhang walked up to Lin Mobai with a serious face and patted him on the shoulder: "I advise you to think about it more. Just review the questions more and maybe you'll have some ideas."
Lin Mobai stretched and smiled calmly: "I have confidence, teacher."
“Can I turn in my paper early?”
Teacher Zhang's brows were twisted into a frown, but there was nothing he could do. He was just an invigilator, and his duty was to maintain discipline in the examination room. It was the right of the candidates to hand in the paper early.
Without waiting for Teacher Zhang to speak, Lin Mobai stood up and walked to the podium, put the test paper away and left the examination room directly.
"This boy is quite confident," the invigilator said with a faint smile.
"I'm afraid I'm too confident, eh—"
Teacher Zhang sighed, walked up to the podium, and glanced at Lin Mobai's test paper.
"Huh? What he wrote seems to make sense."
He walked up, picked up Lin Mobai's test paper, and glanced through it.
The answers on the test paper did not seem to be scribbled, but rather neat and tidy steps for answering the questions, with each question fully numbered.
Even for the last big question, I filled up the entire answer area and listed four or five possible situations.
Teacher Zhang took out a pen and rewrote it on a piece of draft paper according to Lin Mobai's ideas.
Fifteen minutes later.
Every time a situation was verified to be correct, the expression on Teacher Zhang's face became more surprised.
The invigilator at the side looked over in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Look for yourself." Then he handed over the test paper.
“This… How is this possible!?”
The invigilator was stunned after reading it and exclaimed: "This student has solved the last question!"
Teacher Zhang didn't believe it and turned the test paper over.
A few seconds later.
"I got it right. The answers to the previous questions are all correct, and they are exactly the same as the ones I just answered. Full marks!"
Teacher Zhang swallowed hard and couldn't help but exclaimed.
The sound attracted many candidates, and everyone was stunned.
"How is that possible? Even a graduate student like you from Shandong University has no idea about the following questions. It's impossible for him, an ordinary student!"
The invigilator was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something, stood up, walked to Lin Mobai's seat and picked up the snow-white draft paper.
Except for the necessary drawing questions, no other questions require auxiliary lines or assumptions. Is it all based on thinking
"Moreover, he finished the entire math test without even making a draft?" The invigilator handed Lin Mobai's draft paper to him and said in surprise, "It's just as I thought. The test questions must have been leaked, and he knew the reference answers in advance."
"This is the only explanation that can make sense."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhang stood up and quickly ran out of the examination room, saying seriously, "Go find someone to help watch the examination room and bring that candidate back. I will report it to the Education Department now."
"The third mock exam is crucial. If this is the case, the joint entrance exam will be ruined!"
Everyone in the examination room looked at each other in bewilderment. They thought they had met a genius just now, but it turned out to be a cheating genius.
at the same time.
Jiangxi Province, inside the Provincial Department of Education.
"Director Liu, did you do this on purpose?" The deputy director of the Education Department slammed the test paper on the desk and said seriously, "I let you set the questions because I trust you. Do you know that the Education Department's phone has been flooded with calls from parents today?"
"Many children don't even eat when they get home. How can they have the mental state to answer the questions in the next few exams?"
Liu Huanqiang lowered his head and blamed himself: "This is indeed my mistake."
"Who knew that Teacher Ge would not participate in setting questions for the National Mathematical Olympiad finals this year? I was temporarily replaced and I have to prepare for the third mock exam. My schedule is a bit tight."
"I was in a hurry to leave that day, so I handed in the two test papers in a USB drive without explaining it clearly."
Deputy Director Wang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I will issue a notice later that there is a mistake in the test questions and explain the situation. This is the only way now."
"Director Liu, if anything happens to any student because of this, you will be primarily responsible..."
Bang.
As soon as he finished speaking, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
Teacher Zhang rushed in breathlessly, sweating profusely, holding the test paper in one hand: "Deputy Director Wang, Director Liu, I suspect the test questions have been leaked. A student answered all the questions and got full marks!"
What
Liu Huanqiang smiled faintly and said, "How is that possible? The reference answers haven't been given yet, so how can we talk about full marks?"
"Also, almost no one, including me, the question setter, has figured out the last question. That question is mainly for selecting top talents, and it is a difficult question that is useless."
etc!
Liu Huanqiang's expression suddenly became serious.
He simply turned over the test paper in front of him, took out a pen, pointed directly at the last question, and leaned over the table to start calculating.
Twenty minutes later.
This answer is correct. I have never thought of solving the problem from this perspective.
"Moreover, this way of thinking is simply not in the same dimension as that of ordinary people. It has far exceeded the scope of what ordinary people can think of."
Teacher Zhang reminded carefully: "Besides, he only took 30 minutes to finish the paper and handed it in early."
"What?!!"
Liu Huanqiang was suddenly shocked. Just for this last question, he spent a full twenty minutes working backwards based on Lin Mobai's answer to get the result.
Submitting the paper half an hour in advance means that the answer to each question can be obtained directly after just one glance. The half hour spent is just the time wasted in writing down the steps to answer the questions!
Teacher Zhang suddenly thought of something: "Wait, this last question is a discarded question, so why did it appear on the third mock test paper?"
"Actually... this test paper is from the National Mathematical Olympiad finals. It was printed incorrectly." Deputy Director Wang replied with embarrassment.
"I see." Teacher Zhang nodded thoughtfully.
Liu Huanqiang, who was standing aside, was still staring at the test paper in front of him in a daze.
"Genius! This is definitely a genius! No, genius is not worthy of him."
"This person is a genius, a rare talent! One of a kind!"
"If there is no reference answer before, then this test paper is the reference answer!"
Liu Huanqiang's chest rose and fell violently. He grabbed Teacher Zhang's shoulders and breathed rapidly: "What's the name of this student? Which school is he from?"
"My name is Lin Mobai, and I'm a student at Jiangshan Middle School."
Teacher Zhang responded blankly, and then handed over a stack of blank papers: "Not only did he hand in the paper half an hour early, but he didn't even make a draft..."
Snap—
Liu Huanqiang snatched the draft and checked it carefully. Not only was it blank, there wasn't even a single punctuation mark.
His pupils contracted sharply and he slumped down in the chair.
"There is no one like it in the history of the world! A genius!"
Deputy Director Wang suddenly burst into laughter. If what he saw was true, his career would be able to rise rapidly and advance significantly.
"No, I'll report this to the Ministry of Education. This kind of talent is extremely rare in the world!"
As he said that, Liu Huanqiang suddenly stood up, held Lin Mobai's test paper to his chest, and ran out as if he was holding a rare treasure.
