Chapter 469: Upside-Down Brothers

Actually using Meziriak's weight question to test a group of competitors? Who said that the third prince is honest!

This kid seems to have to be forced, if he doesn't force it, it's too soft, and now when he forces it, you see, people are too cruel! Not to mention that this question can be solved in a short time during the interview, most people will find it difficult to have an idea even if they think about it for a few years!

Zhang Shou, who was on the main seat, saw that the other five people immediately began to raise his eyebrows and think hard, and then saw the third prince pressing his chest and taking a deep breath, clearly relieved, he smiled and said: "Everyone outside can also think about it, especially the candidates who apply for the Jiuzhang Hall, if you can come up with the right idea for a while, then I can promise that you can be admitted without examination at that time." ”

The melon-eating crowd outside was whispering, but as soon as these words came out, they immediately became a sensation. Someone just said that such an easy question is not easy to solve, but someone sprayed his face: "What do you know? If it was so easy to solve, then Dr. Zhang would still give such a lenient condition, as long as the answer is answered, he can be admitted without examination? ”

Before the person who shouted so easily and couldn't understand it didn't have time to ridicule each other, he only heard Zhang Shou's voice from the Jiuzhang Hall again: "Third prince, can you answer this question yourself?" ”

The third prince immediately showed a big smile: "Of course you can!" ”

And the four princes, who were originally sweating for their brother in front of the door, couldn't help but be overjoyed at this time. Of course, he also remembered that this question was raised by Zhang Shou to the students jokingly when they were still in the middle of the mountain hall. He was still very interested at first, but after pondering for a few days but still not getting the point, he decisively gave up, but he didn't expect the third prince to insist on pondering for a long time.

As for how much time is this long...... Hehe, he remembered that in the past month or two, the third prince tried to solve this problem in a stupid way, and he was about to go crazy. As a result, after Zhang Shou left the capital and went to Cangzhou, the third prince finally couldn't help it, and went to ask Lu Sanlang first, and the two of them pondered together for several days, and finally went to consult Ge Yong, and the teacher and the two apprentices finally had an answer.

God knows how much paper the three princes wasted in those days, so that even in those days when they changed teachers in the palace, people were also distracted thinking about this, and the class has been listless and absent-minded, and even caused others to run to their father to complain, saying that people are tired of studying!

Seeing that everyone inside and outside the Jiuzhang Hall was meditating, Lu Sanlang showed a smile at this time. It seems that he is really worried in vain, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, at the critical moment, the third prince is still very smart, and he actually knows that it is difficult to take this topic!

Sure enough, even if Zhang Shou relaxed the solution criteria from the answer to the correct idea early, this seemingly simple question was still like a moat, stumped many people inside and outside. Seeing that a long time had passed, Zhang Shou suddenly asked, "How is it, do you have an idea?" ”

Just now, I only felt that the third prince only had the identity of a dragon son and a phoenix grandson, but now he was stumped, and the other five people in the first group had different faces. Finally, someone suddenly said unconvinced: "This question is just cumbersome, as long as you exhaust it......"

"It's okay to be exhaustive, but do you know how many groups there can be when numbers from one to forty are combined in groups of four?" Zhang Shou smiled slightly, asked this question, and was dumbfounded when he saw that people couldn't answer, so he said slowly, "The answer is 91390, even if you can really discharge these more than 90,000 combinations, and then sum the experiments one by one, how long do you think it will take?" ”

If Weinan Bo Zhang Kang was here, he would definitely think of the word lock of the pit father at the beginning. He had thought of the stupidest way to do it, but it took years without getting any results. And when Zhang Shou began to experiment according to a certain law, although the entire Jiuzhang Hall was mobilized, it was decided in a few days, and the speed was incredible.

At this time, Zhang Shou's number of 91390 was also in an uproar when outsiders heard it. Among Yue Shanchang's several students, Fang Qing, who was almost burned by talking impulsively on the street before, wanted to question such a number without any basis, but seeing that among the candidates in other groups, there were actually many people who fell into deep thought, for fear of embarrassment, thinking about it, he finally remained silent.

However, Zhang Shou in the Jiuzhang Hall did not explain this question in public, but ordered others to come up with the question. With such a best demonstration of the three princes, those five people naturally racked their brains and came up with problems that they had either solved with great difficulty or unsolvable, trying to cut off their competitors. However, as questions are thrown out one after another, people outside can't help but have mixed feelings.

Because in the next five questions, the third prince really came up with two of the ideas, and Zhang Shou affirmed that the ideas were good, as for the other five, only one came up with two of them, and the rest were wiped out!

At this moment, Fang Qing, the student of Zhaoming Academy who had been silent just now, suddenly couldn't help it, and laughed at the moment: "It turns out that this so-called group interview is just to highlight the talent of the third prince at a young age?" ”

Seeing that many people around him immediately looked at him, Fang Qing tried his best to keep his composure. But this kind of feeling of public criticism, even if he had experienced it once before in the alley around Xinglong Tea House, the situation at this time was completely different from that time.

Because at that time, it was only a group of small people who refuted him, and at this moment, the attention of a group of scholars was uncomfortable. Especially when he saw that the eyes of the teacher Yue Shanchang looking at him were deep and cold, he was even more like a thorn in his back. Just when the drum was beating more and more in his heart, he only listened to Zhang Shou inside speak again.

"Lu Sanlang, you send the papers you prepared before to the four people in the first group who didn't answer the questions one by one."

Seeing that Lu Sanlang immediately went to hand out the papers, Zhang Shou said with a smile: "This is the exam question given to you by your future senior brother, of course, there are many names, a total of twenty questions, but as long as you can choose three of them to answer the ideas correctly, it will also be counted in today's results, now, go down first." ”

Seeing that the four people were depressed at first, and were overjoyed when they heard that they could have another chance, Zhang Shou ignored the three princes and the other who were a little surprised, and raised his voice to call the second group in, and this time, there were eight people standing in front of him.

"It's still the same as before, the eight of you take turns asking each other's questions, still in order of age. The third prince, it's still you, the youngest, to come up with the question. ”

"Huh?" The third prince screamed softly, but his face no longer had the initial panic, but a little more excitement. He glanced at the seven men who were seven or eight years older than him, and then coughed innocently, "There is a peasant who has a flock of roosters and hens, which are white, black, variegated, and yellow, and among them, the number of white roosters is more than the number of yellow roosters, and the number of extra is half of the number of black roosters plus a third of ......."

If you say, Zhang Shou already felt that the third prince was very cruel...... Then, at this moment, he felt that this little guy who had always seemed to be more docile and pure than the fourth prince was really cruel to the extreme!

Changing the issue of Archimedes into cattle and chickens? This kid definitely remembers what he said in class at that time, although this problem has been solved, the number has broken through the sky!

Although Archimedes' problem of dividing the cattle is claimed to have enriched the study of number theory, judging from the research of later generations, Archimedes himself has not calculated the result at all, which is like the problem of putting rice grains on the chessboard.

Sure enough, if the first question of the Three Princes was just a seemingly simple problem, then this question, which was so complicated that it could not be overcome, finally succeeded in making most people inside and outside dizzy.

Although Fang Qing, who had just questioned the Third Prince, had turned pale because he found this problem difficult to solve, he still muttered to himself, trying to insist that his judgment was not wrong, but when Zhang Shou instructed the other seven people not to continue thinking about it, and directly asked the question, the Third Prince actually gave an interesting idea in one of the seven questions, and he finally changed his color.

Maybe Zhang Shou could arrange the three princes and some designed candidates to be in a group when drawing lots, but this second group is not so easy to break through, because three of them have eaten zero eggs, and the other three people have given ideas for a question...... One of them only touched the edge, and Zhang Shou said that he left people behind out of encouragement.

As for the other candidates who stayed in the first group, although they failed to answer the questions in this round, they survived because they answered the questions in the previous round.

And wait until the next third group, the fourth group...... In the seventh group, the strange questions of the third prince have always made people inside and outside the Jiuzhang Hall almost doubt their lives, but he himself was able to achieve something in each group of interviews, and the only time he was able to give wrong but interesting ideas, Fang Qing, who gradually woke up to his excessive conspiracy theories, finally looked like ashes.

Not to mention the amazed onlookers outside, even the four princes were a little incredulous about their brother's courage today.

For their brothers, it is not difficult to figure it out at all, because they have been studying with Zhang Shou for so long, and sometimes they can even get private counseling, so Zhang Shou will also come up with a lot of difficult questions to tease them. As long as they can remember to use it to embarrass people at a critical moment.

But the answer to the question is not easy! The fourth prince thought to himself that if he was replaced by himself just now, he didn't seem to be able to give ideas in that very short time for the questions raised by some interviewers in the group.

"Could it be that the third brother is a genius? In the past, it was for me to hide it? The fourth prince muttered in his heart, and then the competitive mind immediately attacked.

He has been bold and reckless since he was a child, so although he is a younger brother, he is actually the protector of the two brothers, and most of the time he is in front of the elder brother of the third prince. And whether it is reading and writing, or arithmetic and miscellaneous subjects, he is all more outstanding than the three princes. Now he finds that his brother seems to have been letting him all along, how can he bear it?

He doesn't want to be conceded victory!

Therefore, when the eighth group was called into the Jiuzhang Hall by Zhang Shou, the fourth prince glanced at the dozen survivors next to him who had answered at least one question correctly from the previous five rounds of interviews, especially staring at the third prince for a while, and then said loudly: "Among so many people, I must be the youngest, this time it should be me to solve the question!" ”

As soon as Zhang Shou saw the imposing appearance of the fourth prince, he knew that the performance of the third prince just now might have stimulated this younger brother. For such a change, he was happy to see it, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Okay, you have a question!" ”

"Today, bring a pot of wine and go to the outskirts of spring. Double every friend, and drink half a bucket in the store. Meet in three stores and drink all the wine in the pot. Ask the arithmetic: how to know the original. ”

Hearing that the fourth prince actually had such a question, Zhang Shou couldn't help but be slightly surprised. It seems a bit ...... to make this topic difficult here Too easy, right?

Sure enough, when he was thinking so, sure enough, after a moment, someone immediately claimed that he had the answer, not just the idea, and that one was followed by another, and the shouts of joy were simply one after another.

And he could see that those who answered were all relieved by the question of the Fourth Prince, which was obviously easier to answer. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel that the third prince and the fourth prince seemed to be completely reversed from each other's personalities.

It stands to reason that the three princes, who have always been honest and weak, have easy questions, and the four princes have changed their methods to make difficult problems to make people stumble, which is normal!

However, when he saw that the third prince also squinted at the younger brother of the fourth prince in confusion, but the fourth prince did not squint, as if he didn't care about a question that could stump a person at all, Zhang Shou tasted the meaning. There is no doubt that the four princes do not want to take advantage of the problems he has told them, and intend to compare themselves with their elder brother in a dignified manner.

But this little fool really takes it for granted! He didn't expect that when everyone else got one point, but he was zero points, he was already behind? This is the eighth group, and when you were out there before, you fully observed the problems of the others in front of you, do you think that others will leave you room to compete with your brother? Zhang Shou couldn't help but sigh secretly, he was very optimistic about the four princes.

Sure enough, including the other people in the eighth group, one question was more tricky than the other, it was really a rhythm that didn't want people to answer at all, and the third prince hesitated for a moment, and he also had a problem. Rao is fourth prince racked his brains, but he could only give up unwillingly every time. Lu Sanlang, who was recording these topics on the side, couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, thinking that these junior disciples are really ruthless now.

This is difficult for others' skills, as well as the amount of reserves for this problem, hehehehe...... Even he could only answer a few questions!

And when it was the last person's turn, it was Ji Jiu. In terms of age, he is actually not the eldest of the six, but just now when others were scrambling, he simply pressed the formation behind. He had already answered the question of the Four Princes before, and he thought that he had at least saved a chance to enter the Jiuzhang Hall, but at this time, seeing that the faces of the Four Princes were as black as the bottom of the pot, he had a plan in his heart.

Since the four princes themselves have made a simple one, and he has a simple one, others will not accuse him of it!
