Chapter 27 What the speaker meant was unintentional, but the listener took it to heart.
Su Hao returned to his seat feeling relaxed, and the class continued.
Having shed his burdens, he completely let loose and began to discuss the core logic of proofs with the professor without any reservations.
His clear questions often went straight to the deepest point of the proposition, and I finally understood why Professor Hu used this roundabout method of deduction.
After answering one of Su Hao's pointed questions, Professor Hu remarked with a touch of emotion:
"Actually... it's really too early for high school students to get into analytic number theory."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.
This seemingly harmless remark, when it reached the ears of these gifted high school students, was like a nuclear-level mental bomb!
Everyone's eyes changed.
A surge of resentment and defiance exploded in the classroom.
Everyone straightened their backs and racked their brains like madmen, determined to keep up with the professor's pace no matter what!
The classroom atmosphere suddenly became extremely lively, and Professor Hu was quite satisfied with this enthusiastic atmosphere.
However, the students' inner thoughts were extremely twisted:
"What kind of international joke is this?!"
"If even an elementary school student like Su Hao can understand this, why can't we?!"
"Who here hasn't struggled with university-level math? Now you're telling me you deliberately simplified things because you were afraid we were too stupid?!"
Who are they?
They are prodigies from their respective provinces!
Wherever she goes, she's the center of attention.
Having been called child prodigies since childhood, the thing they heard most often was:
"Pan Xun, you understand this theorem, but the other students don't. So we need to explain it a little slower."
When they arrived here, this group of people who were used to taking care of the weak and attacking others became "low-IQ children" who needed special care from the professor and whose difficulty level needed to be reduced!
humiliation!
This is an unprecedented and utterly humiliating disgrace!
Severely provoked by Su Hao, Pan Xun abruptly stood up, his voice sharp with emotion:
"Professor, I heard that if we use continued fractions to solve the deceptive equation, can we also solve it?"
Wang Shuo, not to be outdone, chimed in:
"Finding the Pythagorean number is essentially an application of Diophantine equations, right?!"
Does it then possess a more universal and general formulaic system?
boom!
The atmosphere in the classroom descended into a frenzied competition.
A fierce, almost cannibalistic competitive spirit ignited in the students' eyes.
Everyone was racking their brains and exhausting all their knowledge...
He tried to ask questions that were more profound, sharper, and more tricky than Su Hao's in order to regain his lost dignity and the professor's attention!
Professor Hu was so happy he couldn't stop smiling. He ran back and forth in front of the blackboard with chalk in hand, enthusiastically answering all sorts of questions that were beyond the scope of the curriculum.
It was only the first day of winter camp, just the time it took to finish one class.
Su Hao didn't even do anything; he just sat there, acting like a catalyst, forcing out the dormant, violent potential within these top geniuses in the country!
However, Lin Shuwan, who was observing all of this with a detached eye, was more clear-headed than anyone else present.
"Idiots, no matter how much you mess around..."
Lin Shuwan's lips curled into a cold, mocking smile.
She had already firmly committed herself to the ultimate strategy of "always striving for second place" in her mind.
"How could you mere mortals possibly defeat that monstrous monster?"
Recalling the chilling scene on the podium just now, Lin Shuwan felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Others might think Su Hao had just exerted himself, but Lin Shuwan knew full well that everything he had shown today...
This is probably not even the tip of the iceberg of Su Hao's strength... no, it's not even a speck of ice that has been scraped off the iceberg!
This group of people couldn't even fathom the limits of this monster, let alone see Su Hao's true abilities!
Time flew by amidst the frenzied brainstorming, and soon it was almost time for get out of class to end.
Professor Hu glanced at his watch and gave a meaningful smile.
"Although it was only the first class today, the atmosphere was extremely lively, and I could deeply feel everyone's thirst for exploring the truth."
The students' tense nerves relaxed slightly, and they nodded with relief, thinking that they could finally take a break.
"However, it would be too boring to end get out of class like this. Before we finish, I'll make an interesting suggestion."
Swish swish!
Professor Hu turned around, wiped the blackboard clean, and wrote a brand new question with the chalk flying across the paper.
Find the maximum product among all natural numbers whose sum is 2077.
"A little game. The students who solve this problem the fastest will receive a special winter camp privilege."
Everyone's breath hitched, their expressions instantly tense, and they stared intently at the line of questions.
In national-level winter camps, even the smallest privilege can be directly linked to the final selection, making it a resource that must be fought for with one's life on the line!
The professor smiled slightly and threw out the bait:
"Those who are in the top half of the rankings who solve the problem will have the right to freely choose their roommates for the next two weeks."
boom!
The classroom erupted in an uproar.
The students' pupils suddenly dilated.
Choosing a roommate to spend the next two weeks with?
This is a matter of life and death!
There is no such thing as "rest" here.
Back in the room, everyone was probably burning the midnight oil studying.
Everyone knows that the most crucial factor in determining the learning environment is your roommate!
If you happen to encounter someone who snores or grinds their teeth, you're lucky if your ancestors did good deeds.
If you happen to encounter someone who doesn't like to shower and smells like fermented herring, or someone who's so engrossed in doing homework that they wake up in the middle of the night talking to themselves and asking and answering their own questions, then these two weeks are completely ruined!
Once the students realized what was happening, they began to discreetly observe their competitors around them.
Pan Xun's gaze fell in horror on a student.
That guy was engrossed in gnawing on his nails, then spat the nail clippings all over the table!
"Ugh!" Pan Xun felt a wave of nausea wash over him.
"Damn it! I'd rather jump out the window than share a room with that weirdo!"
Everyone was having similar thoughts, frantically calculating in their minds whose coattails to latch onto or which minefield to avoid.
But the seasoned veterans have no time to observe human diversity here.
The moment the professor finished speaking, they buried their heads in the draft paper, their pens leaving afterimages as they frantically began solving the problem!
"Oh no! We've lost the initiative!"
Pan Xun's mind went blank, and he immediately looked away, staring intently at the question.
"Alright, shall we begin?"
The professor crossed his arms and smiled as he surveyed the group of students who looked on with great alarm.
The maximum value of the product of natural numbers whose sum is 2077.
This question tests the logic of limit decomposition and the intuition of inequalities.
This question may look simple, but the pitfalls hidden within are definitely more tricky than you might imagine.
However, Professor Hu estimated that as long as the right approach was found, given the talent of these geniuses, someone should be able to solve the problem within 30 minutes.
The sound of the pen tip scratching on the paper was like a torrential downpour.
All the students were racking their brains using their best methods to solve this problem, and the atmosphere was as tense as if they were defusing a bomb.
But, in this atmosphere as grim as a battlefield.
One person not only didn't write anything, but didn't even touch the draft paper.
Su Hao sat there quietly, blinking his innocent eyes at the professor, as if sending some kind of silent signal.
Immediately after everyone had written down the first derivation formula!
Su Hao cautiously raised his hand and, in an extremely shy, even slightly embarrassed tone, began to speak slowly:
"Um... Professor, I've solved it. Can I choose my roommate now?"
Dead silence.
Utter silence.
The air seemed to be sucked into an absolute vacuum in that instant!
Those students who had been working their butts off, sweating profusely, and trying their best to keep up with the pace throughout the entire class suddenly froze!
clack.
A ballpoint pen, seemingly from someone's hand, fell limply onto the table.
Everyone was completely devastated!
