Chapter 135

"Are we sure?" Xie liaosha poked the deputy leader beside him and asked with some worry.

"There are still some chances, but in recent years many teams have made rapid progress. Romania, Hungary, Federal Republic of Germany and the United States all have the strength to win the championship. I can only say that everyone is hopeful, but no one has absolute strength The professor is introducing to Xie liaosha and calculating with an examination paper.

Xie liaosha also received an examination paper and glanced at it. Fortunately, he could understand the topic and had some ideas. But when he picked up the paper and pen to try to solve it, he found that he could not start at all.

"Are you interested in these, too?" Around the professor inadvertently see Xie liaosha is also calculating, so special asked a sentence.

"Yes! It's easy to see at first, but who knows, when I think about it carefully, I don't have any idea at all! " Xie liaosha, like a child who was called to the blackboard but couldn't work out the problem, watched the professor scratch the back of his head.

"Yes! The purpose of these questions is not to examine the amount of knowledge of these children, but to examine the flexibility and skill of solving mathematical problems. You see, I have only worked out one question so far The professor showed the paper to Xie liaosha. As he said, only one question was written on it. Just when they were still racking their brains trying to solve the problem, a burst of exclamation came from under the stage. A student had handed in the paper in less than an hour.

Xie liaosha and Professor quickly stood up to see which guy did it so fast. It turns out that it's not Gregory. Xie liaosha thought that this was a mess, whether he was playing poker with himself, so he gave up. Xie liaosha felt sorry that not any child of this age could stand on such a big stage. And the deputy team leader Professor sitting beside him ran to the front to observe the judges' scoring closely.

Several judges whispered, which deputy team leader Professor also craned his neck to look in their direction, so did Xie liaosha. I saw a few judges around the papers, some shaking their heads, some nodding. Half an hour later, the second person who handed in the paper still didn't show up. Gregory was sitting on the table playing the cards that Xie liaosha gave him. The judges seemed to reach a consensus and began to nod frequently. Before they officially announced the final results, the deputy leader has been excited to raise the clenched fists. As soon as Xie liaosha looked at it, he knew that the result was good.

After a while, on the electronic screen of the venue, the words "42" appeared below the CCCP, and suddenly a neat exclamation came from the scene! At this time, the deputy leader just came back with a happy expression.

"Well, did you do well in the exam?" Xie liaosha asked quickly.

"It's not bad. It's the genius of genius. Do you know what 42 points means? 42 points represents the full score, and the judges told me that it is a new solution, which is simpler. You can see that there is no second paper yet. Gregory is definitely one of the smartest among them. Even I'm a little envious of his talent, but it's also indescribable to find a mathematician with boundless prospects, watch him defeat the opponents around him, and expect him to solve the top problems that generations of geniuses can't solve all their lives! " The professor excitedly introduced how great Gregory was. Not only the deputy team leader, except the players, almost all the people on the scene are paying attention to him.

More than two hours later, the competition has lasted for nearly four hours. At this time, the second contestant has just appeared. Unfortunately, he is not from the Soviet Union. The word "28" soon appeared under USA. It is obvious that this contestant has only done four questions correctly.

With the end of the competition getting closer and closer, more and more contestants turned in their papers. The teams of all countries scored a certain amount of points. The most pitiful country only scored 7 points. The competition between CCCP and USA has become increasingly fierce. In addition to Gregory, the three Soviet contestants who handed in their papers the first time scored fairly good, However, the latter two players did not play well. But the situation of Americans is just the opposite, their scores are catching up, gradually catching up.

With the end of the long five hour game, the score on the scoreboard was finally fixed. CCCP and USA were tied for the first place, while the Federal Republic of Germany was ranked third. The first day's competition eliminated most of the teams, leaving only three teams to compete for the gold, silver and bronze medal finals the next day. The Soviet delegation is satisfied with this achievement. Anyway, it will definitely win a medal this time.

When he left the competition venue, Xie liaosha was waiting for Grigori's figure outside. When he finally came out, his pocket was full of nothing.

"What's in you? Did you bring some souvenirs secretly? " Xie liaosha asked curiously.

"I don't know. It's all from them!" Grigory said and went to his pocket. As a result, a pile of cards fell out. Xie liaosha quickly squatted down and picked them up.

Yale，UCLA，Harvard，MIT，stanford。 Needless to say, Xie liaosha also understands that even Americans appreciate this boy and want to keep him.

"Don't you have a family to look up to?" Xie liaosha asked casually. Gregory shook his head and said, "aren't you going to transfer to Leningrad university this year? It happens that I am also from Leningrad. When I am admitted to Leningrad University, won't it be good to be your classmate? "

"But... OK! Then I'll be waiting for you at school! " Xieliaosha stretched out his hand, and Grigori clapped his hands to respond. They agreed.

On the way back, the team leader wanted to find a place to celebrate, but because the next day's game was arranged in the morning, the delegation didn't celebrate too much. It just took the children out to have a pizza and went back to the hotel to have a rest. Not only the team leader, but everyone was full of expectations for the next day's game. After all, Gregory of the Soviet delegation was really excellent, With him, it's hard for the Soviets to lose.

Xie liaosha has decided that he will never talk about 21 o'clock with Gregory in the evening. He must rest early and defeat the Americans tomorrow. As soon as he gets back to the hotel, Xie liaosha puts away all his cards and lies in bed early after washing. No matter what Grigory pleads for, shagliaosha doesn't play blackjack with him.

"Can't you try some more? I've made some more corrections?... " At Grigori's constant request, shagliaosha cruelly turned off the light.
