Chapter 154: A perfect score is just your limit.
The proctors assumed that Lin Chen was stumped by the last question.
But no one knew that Lin Chen was actually thinking about something else.
"Natasha, how do I complete the achievement 'Perfect score is just the limit for you'?"
Just as he was preparing to tackle the last question, Lin Chen suddenly remembered that he still had three achievements to complete.
"Slapping the face of traitors," "Number one in math Olympiad," and "A perfect score is just your limit."
Lin Chen has already made progress on the first two, but this "perfect score is just your limit"...
Does that mean he needs to score above 42 points?
Is this possible?
In the past, Lin Chen would probably have had to rack his brains to figure out this problem on his own.
But now, he has an upgraded system.
Surely a system that evolved with 100 academic points can't even answer this question?
Sure enough, the passionate voice soon echoed in Lin Chen's mind.
"Comrades, this achievement, 'a perfect score is just your limit,' symbolizes the revolutionary spirit of transcending conventions and breaking through limits!"
It requires you not only to achieve a perfect score in the exam, but also to demonstrate outstanding performance that surpasses that perfect score!
This means you need to demonstrate exceptional intelligence, creativity, and a deep understanding of knowledge in your answers, and even offer insights that go beyond the standard answers.
This achievement is not only a test of your personal abilities, but also a test of your revolutionary will!
It reminds us that true victory comes from constantly pushing our own limits and striving for the future of our community and our country!
Comrade, if you can achieve this, you will become a role model for all learners…
Lin Chen ignored Natasha's next words, completely bewildered.
Unsurprisingly, it knew exactly how to achieve this, but it had that 1950s bear sister vibe, and it talked way too much nonsense.
Back in reality, Lin Chen already had an idea in mind.
So he picked up his pen and began to write!
Geek!
Almost at the same moment Lin Chen began writing, the invigilators also felt a pang of anxiety.
Has that kid already read the question and found the answer?
Looking at the time again, only one hour has passed in the entire exam!
Unbelievable!
I heard that Lin Chen also handed in his paper in less than an hour yesterday.
The problem is that there were only three questions in the preliminary round, but there were a total of six in today's final round!
So this kid answered questions even faster today than yesterday?!
The problem is that the questions in this final round are said to be far more difficult than those in the preliminary round, and they require a lot of math knowledge beyond high school level!
How come this kid is even faster than yesterday?
Did he hold back his strength yesterday?
Hmm, nothing to say!
Amidst the astonished gazes of these foreigners, Lin Chen finished writing the answer to the last question.
One of the proctors confirmed the time.
1 hour and 10 minutes!
Answer all 6 questions!
Although it's unclear whether Lin Chen answered all the questions correctly.
Judging from his perfect score in yesterday's preliminary round, there is a high probability that Lin Chen will answer correctly this time as well.
One of the proctors shrugged, marveling at how strange this Chinese man was, when suddenly his eyes widened again.
Because he suddenly saw that Lin Chen had turned the test paper over.
Then I started writing the answer to the first question again in the answer area.
Is he checking something?
wrong!
If it's for checking, why write anything on the exam paper?
Could it be that he only did half of the previous questions?
The staff member walked over and craned his neck to take a look.
Then he was surprised to see that Lin Chen had written another line of Chinese after his previous reply:
(2) The second solution!
Although he couldn't read Chinese, he could read the part before the Chinese text (2)!
And before the first line of answers, Lin Chen just added (1)!
Could it be that……
This kid is actually planning to use a different method to solve the same problem?!
What an international joke!
This is an IMO competition!
It is the most prestigious mathematics competition that middle school students can participate in!
It's already quite an achievement for the average person to solve all the questions in a competition.
This kid actually wants to solve the problem using different methods?
not to mention……
Do these problems really have different solutions?
Completely shocked, the surveillance personnel returned to his colleagues and whispered about his hairstyle to the others.
Naturally, the rest of the people also couldn't believe that Lin Chen would be so crazy.
To do something so childish in such an important math competition.
But what really sent chills down their spines was...
That's exactly what Lin Chen did.
In the following time, he did almost the entire test paper again.
A second solution approach is provided for each question!
Lin Chen's performance made the proctors think to themselves that this kid was inhuman!
It's already incredible that he can solve 6 problems in an hour.
But they underestimated Lin Chen's strength.
Because this kid actually spent another hour solving the six problems again using a different method!
Two and a half hours after the start of the match...
Under the watchful eyes of several people around him, Lin Chen finished writing out the second solution to the last question.
Lin Chen had completely shattered the worldviews of the proctors.
Lin Chen's prowess has exceeded their expectations.
However, just when they thought Lin Chen should really be ready to hand in his paper this time...
But then they saw Lin Chen raise his hand.
"Sir, I would like to ask a question."
A staff member asked, "What's the problem?"
What if there aren't enough answers to write on the exam paper?
Not enough space to write the answers?
Didn't you already write two answers for each question on the test paper? How come...
Rumble!
It was as if a bolt from the blue struck the minds of the staff, striking them from head to toe.
Could it be that……
This kid wants to come up with a third solution for every problem?!
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
But it just backfired.
After receiving instructions that the answers could be written on scratch paper.
These staff members actually saw Lin Chen pick up a blank sheet of scratch paper and then flip back to the first question on the test paper.
Then, Lin Chen wrote on the draft, “First question: (3) The third solution.”
This really shocked the invigilators to no end.
They leaned against each other, supporting each other, almost too shocked to stand.
How could the Dragon Kingdom team have such a freakish player like Lin Chen this year?!
……
At the exit of the examination hall, the team leaders of the six countries participating in the finals were chatting together.
An 8-hour match is quite a long time.
So, to pass the time, everyone started exchanging their teaching experiences.
As they chatted, the topic suddenly veered towards Lin Chen from the Dragon Kingdom team.
I wonder if Lin Chen will hand in his paper early today.
But just then, Chen Xiaoxiao suddenly appeared at the exit.
Xiao Li was also shocked, not expecting that Chen Xiaoxiao would hand in her paper first this time.
"Xiaoxiao, how did your exam go?"
Xiao Li immediately stepped forward and asked.
"no problem!"
Chen Xiaoxiao had a big smile on her face.
Xiao Li couldn't help but smile.
Chen Xiaoxiao is also a top student who is not much worse than Lin Chen. She never exaggerates. If she says there is no problem, then there is definitely no problem.
"By the way, Xiaoxiao, how's Lin Chen doing? I didn't expect you to hand in your paper early today?"
"I was also surprised... I didn't expect Lin Chen to have such a change of heart today."
Chen Xiaoxiao said with a puzzled look, "And he even asked for extra draft paper today, which is not like him at all."
"Need some draft paper? Lin Chen?"
Xiao Li was also puzzled when she heard this.
Back in the training camp, Lin Chen never used scratch paper when doing his problems.
Even with problems involving extremely large amounts of calculation, he always did mental arithmetic.
This incident even amazed several coaches.
Why is Lin Chen using draft paper today?
Weird!
