Chapter 233 - 239: Doubt
The Exam Proctor looked at the stack of test papers in his hand, then double-checked the answer key, and was completely stunned.
How was this possible?
Thirty minutes, which meant five minutes per question.
The most important thing was that all six questions were correct.
This was too exaggerated.
The Exam Proctor had always considered himself a math genius, and he had just looked at the test paper and couldn’t do it at all.
But this student, he actually finished all of them in thirty minutes, and all the answers were correct.
Was this student a God of Mathematics?
Thirty minutes, six questions, five minutes per question. Ye Chen walked out of the examination room briskly.
Outside the examination room, a group of team leaders muttered to themselves when they saw Ye Chen walk out.
So fast?
Weren’t these two days’ worth of exam questions?
He came out so quickly?
Even if Ye Chen was a Top Student, even if he had solved Goldbachs Conjecture, this was still too heaven-defying.
They couldn’t believe that the gap between their students and Ye Chen was so obvious.
Li Tongming and Xiao He immediately gathered around Ye Chen when they saw him walk out.
"How did you do?" Li Tongming asked.
"Mm, I finished all of them."
Li Tongming asked curiously, "Weren’t there any questions you couldn’t do?"
Ye Chen nodded: "No, the questions weren’t very difficult."
Not difficult?
Xiao He, who was beside him, suddenly felt an urge to curse.
Even he hadn’t been able to solve this set of problems in a short time.
In Ye Chen’s eyes, these heaven-defying problems weren’t difficult.
Li Tongming asked, "Are you sure all your answers are correct? No mistakes?"
Hearing this question, the other teachers who were watching also gathered around.
After all, these team-leading teachers were all elites in the mathematics world, and each of them had considerable mathematical accomplishments.
Theoretically speaking, it’s difficult to achieve one hundred percent in mathematics.
But precisely because of this, people pursue the ultimate in mathematics, which is one hundred percent.
However, too few people can achieve it.
As teachers, they naturally hope their students get everything right.
But it’s really too difficult to achieve one hundred percent.
After all, for the Mathematical Olympiad exam, the questions definitely wouldn’t be simple.
Five minutes per question, for them, was simply impossible.
Seeing everyone’s shocked expressions, Ye Chen remained unfazed.
What he said just now was the truth; this set of questions really wasn’t very difficult.
"Ye Chen."
At this moment, a graceful figure ran over.
Seeing Xia Yingluo, Ye Chen happily said, "Yingluo, why are you here?"
"I came to bring you some delicious food," Xia Yingluo said with a smile.
Time passed minute by minute.
No one else came out during this time.
Eventually, the Exam Proctor came out and announced Ye Chen’s results.
A perfect score of sixty, all six questions correct.
This result caused an uproar at the scene.
Everyone’s eyes were on the carefree young man playing with his phone.
This was too exaggerated.
No need to ask, Ye Chen was definitely in first place.
But these teachers still had some doubts: how could Ye Chen be so formidable?
What was the actual gap between their students and Ye Chen?
Many people also wanted to know the results of the other students.
Because they wanted to know how big the gap was between their students and Ye Chen.
Of course, there were also some reporters who wanted to know the results.
Fearing that it would affect the exam, these reporters were blocked outside.
As for Ye Chen, who came out first, these reporters had long been eager to interview him.
The reporters stood outside the iron gate; they had checked the time, and this young man had come out in less than half an hour.
Three hours later, the first student walked out.
When that student walked out, tears were still streaming down his face.
"Xiao Chao, how did you do?" a teacher asked with concern.
The student saw the teacher and immediately squatted on the ground, crying, "Wah!"
"Teacher, I’m sorry."
The teacher smiled and patted the student’s head: "It’s okay, it’s nothing if you couldn’t solve one or two problems."
The student looked up, aggrieved, and said to the teacher, "I didn’t do a single question."
Teacher: "..."
You still have the nerve to cry?
Someone came out in thirty minutes with a perfect score.
You came out in three hours and told me it was zero points.
Hearing what this student said, the teacher originally wanted to comfort him, but he found that all the teachers looked at that student with disdain.
"You really didn’t do a single question?" the teacher asked, unwilling to give up.
The student nodded: "Teacher, these questions are too difficult. I’ve never seen them before, nor studied them. And what about Archimedes’ Conjecture? I really don’t know it, and you never taught me these types of questions!"
Teacher: "..."
So it was all my fault!
"Alright, I understand. Maybe your talent isn’t enough. Don’t be too sad."
The teacher didn’t know how to comfort him, so he just sighed and said.
Soon, the second examinee came out.
When asked, he had submitted a blank paper.
The third and fourth examinees were almost identical to the first, all scoring zero.
At this, the first teacher felt a sense of balance, even a feeling of satisfaction.
Just now these people were mocking me, now it’s your turn.
Who can Heaven spare!
Xia Yingluo was feeding Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was burping from eating so much.
Xia Yingluo looked at the crestfallen students and asked with some pity, "Ye Chen, will these students have problems?"
Ye Chen glanced at them and said, "Probably."
"Ah! What do you mean?" Xia Yingluo was stunned for a moment.
"Because all the questions on this set of papers were beyond the syllabus, and many even exceeded the scope of knowledge taught in University, so it’s very difficult to answer them."
Xia Yingluo was stunned: "But if everyone can’t do it, what’s the point of this exam?"
Ye Chen smiled faintly: "Think about it, for the country to select members for the Mathematical Olympiad national team, ordinary Top Students probably won’t do. In fact, the purpose of this exam is to filter out true geniuses."
At this time, the students who came out of the examination room indeed had a sense of defeat in their eyes.
They were all chosen ones, but this time they suffered a huge blow.
Many people scored the only zero of their lives.
At this moment, several teachers surrounded the Exam Proctor.
"We suspect the fairness of this exam. The questions were set by Professor Li, and everyone knows that Professor Li is Ye Chen’s teacher. He submitted his paper in thirty minutes and was the only one with a perfect score, while other students all got zero. Although we believe Ye Chen is a genius, the gap can’t be this huge, right?"
"Exactly, there’s definitely something wrong with this exam."
The Exam Proctor said, "You mean Ye Chen knew the answers in advance?"
"We just think there’s a possibility."
The Exam Proctor sneered and threw the blank papers in his hand to these teachers.
"You all take a look first. If you can understand them, then talk. Also, it’s not that everyone except Ye Chen scored zero; another student from Jing University scored ten points."
