Chapter 250(1/2)
"Everyone, do you know the solution to this problem?"
Wang Yuan looked at the deputy examiners around him and said.
"Sir Taiwei, don't we know?"
"Perhaps, we can use a ruler to mark the length of the chopsticks and set them up..."
"Yes, that's the only way we can get the answer."
"That's not right. There are several ways to place it like this..."
"You're stupid, as long as it's a right triangle..."
"That's right."
"I really can't imagine how your Majesty came up with such a complicated arithmetic problem..."
"..."
Not to mention the students, the two questions about the Pythagorean Theorem aroused the curiosity of the examiners this time.
Examiners can find rulers, chopsticks and other items to measure.
But the students could not bring anything into the examination room except pen and ink.
Inside the examination room.
All the students wrote the liberal arts topics very quickly.
Learn literary and martial arts and serve the emperor's family.
The movement of the pen stirs up the storm, and the ghosts and gods weep.
The brushes in the hands of all the students were flying, and they were writing policy topics one after another quickly.
Huang Weiyin is in extremely good condition today.
He grew up in the capital, and his father was a high official in the imperial court. For him, such a strategy was a piece of cake.
Of course, there are also two more difficult strategies.
Huang Weiyin was not sure whether he could get full marks, so he could only write what he thought in his heart.
After finishing answering the liberal arts test paper, Huang Weiyin started answering the science test paper without stopping.
This time.
But Huang Weiyin was stumped.
He had made up for the rest of the questions.
There are several teachers in his family who teach mathematics these days.
But...
Doesn't he have any relevant knowledge in his mind about the Pythagorean Theorem?
Huang Weiyin thought hard and even drew on straw paper, but he couldn't get any results.
"hateful..."
"Why is this question so difficult?"
"Is it possible that it was written nonsense?"
When Huang Weiyin was at a loss what to do, a ridiculous idea came to his mind.
But soon, this idea was rejected by him.
Knowing is knowing and not knowing is not knowing.
Having read the books of sages since he was a child, he knows that writing can never be far more upright than writing nonsense.
After thinking about this and looking at the sky outside the window, Huang Weiyin was ready to hand in the paper.
"Hello, I want to hand in my paper."
Huang Weiyin spoke to the guard at the window.
The guard turned and looked at Huang Weiyin in the hut and said, "Master Huang, you are too slow to hand in the paper this time. Two people have already handed in the paper before you."
"Um?"
"So fast?"
Huang Weiyin's expression changed, he quickly calmed down, and said with a smile, "No problem, please call the examiner over."
Someone actually handed in the paper faster than me?
In the first two rounds, I was among the first to submit papers.
"Yes, Mr. Huang."
Soon, an examiner came over, took out the key and opened the lock on Huang Weiyin's door, checked Huang Weiyin's test paper and sealed it up.
at the same time.
In an examination room just fifty steps away from Huang Weiyin, Qin Yichuan also stood up and handed in his paper.
After the two came out, they looked at each other and smiled, which was considered a polite response.
"What do you call this brother?" Huang Weiyin greeted Qin Yichuan when he saw that although he was dressed simply, he had an extraordinary demeanor and must be a disciple of a noble family.
"I'm going to Qin Yichuan, Hebei Province." Qin Yichuan cupped his hands and responded, "I wonder what you call me brother? And have you ever been able to answer those two weird questions?"
"My name is Huang Weiyin." Huang Weiyin smiled bitterly, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I didn't answer those two questions."
"Hahaha."
"What a coincidence, so am I."
"If there were tools like a ruler, maybe I could roughly calculate it..."
Qin Yichuan shook his head and responded.
In the examination area, naturally you are not allowed to whisper to each other.
The two of them walked outside the Gongyuan, chatting as they walked, and the more they chatted, the more they became more and more congenial.
Simply, the hospitable Huang Weiyin invited Qin Yichuan to sit at his house.
The rest of the students.
Still thinking hard.
Gu Qian, who shined in the first two rounds of exams, also encountered difficulties today.
He is a student from a poor family.
And most of the time I am self-study.
Those strategies alone stumped him.
He answered questions one by one, and his strategies were more practical.
For example, in the policy of enriching the country, he started from the basic point of the common people and talked about how to enrich the country.
Some policy discussions are indeed less interesting compared to the majestic policy discussions of Huang Weiyin and others.
It’s time for math questions.
Gu Qian was also stumped by this magical Pythagorean theorem.
While Gu Qian was thinking hard on the straw paper, the two sticks of incense that were used to measure time in the examiner's room had burned out.
"The exam is over."
"All candidates, put down their examination papers and leave the examination room one by one."
"If there are any violations, the test results will be invalid!"
The guards shouted in unison, and most of the students turned pale, and some even burst into tears.
Just because the test questions this time are too difficult...
Some people even just finished taking the liberal arts exam questions.
You know, they have never written about the strategies for running a country, strengthening its army, and enriching it.
Although there are many truths in the books of sages and sages that I read in the past, it is difficult to use your own words and opinions to compile an independent set of policies.
After the exam is over.
Most people are aware of their differences.
Even Gu Gan, who scored very high in the second round of exams, knew that he still had big shortcomings.
There is also a matter of arithmetic that is so profound and profound that no one can answer the question of the Pythagorean Theorem.
There are also people who write blindly.
But if you write blindly, the result will not be much better.
Can't even do the most basic honesty.
To be continued...
