Chapter 251: The Brightest Mind
After Liu Meng left Apple's headquarters, he has been thinking about what resources he can use, and he came to New York alone, a world metropolis, the most prosperous street, where people come and go, and people who walk through the streets every minute are remembered, how to stand out from the crowd?
The first one is probably the president of the United States, but unfortunately Liu Meng has no way to run for president, and it is completely impossible to pave the way for every few decades, and of course there is a famous shortcut, that is, to kill the president of the United States, which is even more difficult to achieve.
What other ways to become famous? Movies, TV series, or other entertainment programs, is there anything I can participate in to highlight myself? Liu Meng was inspired by Jobs's words, and thought step by step about how to make good use of his resources.
At this moment, a strong voice came out on the big screen on the street, "Who is the smartest brain in the United States?" Here is the strongest intellectual confrontation, here is the test of the peak of human intelligence, comparable to the limit of human physical fitness in the 100-meter track and field field, here is the limit of human mental power, welcome to the Guinness intellectual competition. β
The crowd stopped to watch the slogan and had a heated discussion.
"Wow, I heard that these guys are all from the Mensa Club, and the day before yesterday I saw a dude who was able to remember a thousand digits after pi. β
"Remember what that is, and another person memorized 200 binaries in a minute, oh my god, that's amazing, but it's only a minute, and binaries are so hard to remember. β
"What is it to remember a few binaries, and there is one more powerful than a calculator. β
β¦β¦
Liu Meng was amazed when he saw this advertisement and the comments of passers-by. This program called Guinness Intelligence Contest seems to be very popular during this time, there are advertisements on the streets and alleys, and there are many viewers watching it, if you are on this show, wouldn't it be easy to become famous? Gu Pan can know that he is in the United States when he sees it. Come and find yourself.
I was really sleepy, and someone sent a pillow, as long as I calmed down, calmed down and patiently looked for opportunities to use my own resources, and sure enough, it came, and Jobs said that it was all decades of life experience, which is very inspiring.
Don't complain about the resources that others have that you don't. Don't blame your dad for not working hard enough, complaining that everyone else is a coward, and discover your own potential. It's just a matter of making good use of the resources you have.
Liu Meng inquired and found the place where the show was registered, and a middle-aged white aunt sat with a stack of forms with a gloomy face, "Hello, I want to sign up for the Guinness Intellectual Competition." β
The white aunt didn't raise her head and asked, "Are you a member of the Mensa Club?"
"It's not. β
"Have you ever participated in a similar competition? For example, the World Brain Championship and the like. What's the best place you can get? Is there a title of World Memory Master?"
"I haven't competed in any of the competitions. β
"How much has your IQ been tested?"
"Not tested. Liu Meng told the truth.
The white aunt finally couldn't help but raise her head to see what this mischievous guy looked like, and when she saw that it was a yellow person, she rebuked with a sense of superiority in her eyes: "Our show is attended by the smartest people in the world, not for the mentally retarded." β
Liu Meng was not a little annoyed, and said calmly: "Then how can I participate in your show?"
"Let's pick a random topic from here and solve it. The white aunt handed over a booklet, there were many questions on it, just choose one at random, and just handed it to Liu Meng. Liu Meng probably read a question on the first page, and handed it back in less than a minute.
The white aunt took it and snorted softly. Every day, tens of thousands of people come to sign up, thinking they are very smart, but as soon as they get this question bank, most of them retreat, and a bunch of idiots always optimistically think that they are very smart, and casually say, "How is it?
Liu Meng smiled lightly, said the answer to one of the questions, and asked, "Can I sign up?"
The white aunt's mouth was wide open and she forgot to close it, and only after a while did she say in surprise: "You...... You know the answer beforehand, right?"
Liu Meng's eyes swept and looked at another question, and soon gave the answer, and asked, "Do you need me to give a few more questions?"
Only then did the white aunt get serious, and understood that the young man in front of her was extraordinary, so she carefully filled out a form for Liu Meng, and said, "Okay, our team will do our best to notify you to conduct an interview and see what projects are suitable for you to participate in." β
This has to wait, when will it be, Liu Meng doesn't have so much time to consume, and hurriedly said: "Is there any way to participate in the show as much as possible?" β
The white aunt slanted her eyes and said impatiently: "So many people have to sign up one by one to line up in order, each episode of the show will select a champion, eliminate the last two, you need to pass the interview level to enter the queue sequence, understand? This is our rules and system." β
"If I'm not mistaken, your Guinness Intelligence Contest is a challenging part, and three people will be selected to challenge each show, and you can randomly choose the challenge, and you can replace the position if you defeat the opponent, right?" Liu Meng watched an episode of the show before he came, and he has a certain understanding of the competition system.
The white aunt looked at Liu Meng and persuaded: "Young man, the challenge is not very fair to the challenger, you are likely to lose very badly, we set this link just to increase the fun, most of the challengers are drawn out of the audience, used for comedy effect, participate in the competition step by step There may be a chance to advance, once you advance, you can get a lot of bonuses." β
The white aunt is also kind-hearted, looking at the young man's level is not bad, kindly reminding.
Liu Meng replied firmly, "It's okay, can you arrange it for me, I hope to participate in the show as soon as possible." β
The white aunt looked at the form and made a call.
β¦β¦
Guinness Intelligence Confrontation is a live reality show intelligence confrontation show, the show scene is often in trouble, the contestants will often turn the tables, will play extraordinarily, so with the broadcast of the program to the tenth episode, it has attracted more and more viewers, and directly became the ratings champion of the same period.
Two days later, Liu Meng participated in the current program, and the ten contestants challenged each on a topic, this episode of the program is: remember the longest number column in one minute, binary?
It must be memorized within a minute, as for how long it can be said there is no limit, but it can be ended after saying the wrong one, now the Guinness record is 230 bits, there is a big essential difference between remembering binary and remembering decimal, binary only 0 and 1, and it is easy to make mistakes if the distinction is too small.
This episode of the show is a knockout round, but also a battle to hit the Guinness Book of Records, the first to play is an Indian teenager, who looks like he is only about fifteen years old, and his head twists wildly with a record board written on it, and he is cross-eyed, Liu Meng understands that this is a method of forcibly concentrating into the subconscious, and can only enter the shallow subconscious process, although this teenager has not yet started, Liu Meng has calculated that he may not be able to achieve good results.
Try to memorize as many binary numbers as possible in one minute, this kind of instantaneous memory ability is very powerful, but Liu Meng is also a little puzzled, there are only two kinds of binary, it is too easy to make mistakes, how can it be guaranteed to be good?
The Indian teenager wore an eyepatch and began to say, "001...... 101β¦β¦ 110β¦β¦β
Sure enough, when it came to the 174th place, something went wrong, Liu Meng also pondered, and seemed to understand something, this teenager was reported in a three-digit group, does this mean that he used the three-digit memory method, converting the binary to the octal to remember, so that it is easy to distinguish, and the number of bits of memory is also less, but within a minute, the number of digits must be converted first, the time is more tight, and the computing power must also be strong.
The second place is on the field, it is still a trio, it is not as good as the first teenager, only to the 168th place to make a mistake, Liu Meng nodded, even if it is converted to octal, it is still very difficult.
The sixth place is on the field, the results of the first five are very close, there is no more than 180 at present, the host specially introduced this young man, he is a top student of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his IQ is super high, and he has achieved all A results in high school, which is abnormal, and sure enough, this young man with a beard is very relaxed in his one-minute memory, neither shaking his brain, nor cross-eyed, and Liu Meng noticed that he immediately closed his eyes after just looking at it, and his fingers were shaking rapidly on his thighs, which was probably also a way to speed up the operation of his headγ
After the memory was completed, the young man began to say, "11001...... 00111β¦β¦ 110101β¦β¦β
Liu Meng noticed that this young man is reported in a group of five, which means that the young man converted the binary into a 3decimal system, and the number that needs to be memorized is much less, if you memorize 300 binary, it means that you can memorize 60 digits of 32decimal system, but the amount of calculation in one minute is much larger, sure enough, this young man with super computing ability and memory ability, although it is said slowly, but it has been accurate, until 230, and finally fixed at 234, the audience gave a warm applause, which means that the young man broke the Guinness World Record before this projectγ
The next middle-aged uncle probably summed up some rules from the table xiΓ n of the previous ones, and also used a group of five, but because of the calculation ability, it was wrong when it reached 150.
The next black woman still honestly used a group of three, that is, the octal system, and memorized 180 digits in a decent way. (To be continued......)
PS: I know the problems in writing, but I can't change them in the top students, hey......
