Chapter 120: Brain teasers, hard to die
Bai Sheng immediately picked up the calculation paper and read aloud: "When the two rats meet, it takes two days, one hour and three moments in total. When they meet, the big mouse penetrates the wall by 3 feet 4 inches and 7 minutes, and the small mouse penetrates the wall by 1 foot 5 inches and 3 minutes. Is this the right answer?"
Whether it was correct or not, no one except Jiang Jing knew, so everyone turned their eyes to Jiang Jing, only to see that Jiang Jing was already as pale as earth, with an extremely frightened expression, but he refused to speak, only looked at Bai Sheng with a dull gaze, not knowing what he was thinking.
It seems that Bai Sheng's solution is wrong, people can only think like this. Or maybe Jiang Jing was worried that saying Bai Sheng's mistake would cause a fire, but it is not known.
People looked at Jiang Jing and Bai Sheng like this, and Bai Sheng's grasp was a little more, because in the process, he looked at the calculation paper again and checked it, and the result was not wrong.
After waiting for a while, Bai Sheng couldn't help but urge: "Master Jiang Zhai, let me ask you, is my answer correct? Don't you know the answer to this question?"
Jiang Jing woke up like a dream, and slammed Bai Sheng to the ground, "The master of Baizhai is really a genius! Jiang admires it so much! Your answer to this question is more accurate than mine, so please ask the master of Baizhai to draw up a question, and try to solve one or two of them." ”
It turns out that Jiang Jing has been comparing Bai Sheng's answers just now, the ancients did not have the habit of being accurate to two decimal places, although Zu Chongzhi accurate pi to seven decimal places, but ordinary arithmetic problems do not pay attention to these, so Jiang Jing's "standard answer" is rougher than Bai Sheng's calculations.
At first, he thought that Bai Sheng's calculation was a snake to add to the problem, but through repeated mental arithmetic, when he found that Bai Sheng's answer was more accurate, he already felt hopeless about Bai Sheng's amazing talent, so he was dead.
But after all, he doesn't want to simply admit defeat in the field he is best at, and he wants to give it a last fight, what if Bai Sheng's problem is solved by himself?
Here, Xiao Feng listened to Jiang Jing's approval, and a sense of pride arose, and a pair of wonderful eyes looked at Bai Sheng: "What method did you use to calculate it? Teach me?" She intuitively believed that her country needed to develop this science.
Bai Sheng didn't think about it so much, and nodded generously: "No problem, you worship me as a teacher first, and I will teach you." ”
It is not difficult to teach a woman who is not stupid and bring her to the level of arithmetic in the second or third grade of primary school, especially when teaching and learning side by side, isn't it boundless joy?
"Okay, then I'll worship you as a teacher. Xiao Feng said with a smile. Unexpectedly, Bai Sheng suddenly attached himself: "Great! There is a saying in my hometown, that if you want to learn well, you must first sleep with the master." What are we going to do tonight......"
"Get out!" Xiao Feng pushed Bai Sheng away a few feet.
Jiang Jing saw Bai Sheng and the handsome scholar muttering and fighting, felt that he was despised, and felt very uncomfortable, so he hurriedly reminded Bai Sheng when he was pushed away: "Master Baizhai, please ask for the question." ”
Bai Sheng nodded with a smile and said, "It's no problem to come up with the question, but I have to think of something simpler, it's too difficult for you to solve it." ”
This sentence is really not Bai Sheng's bragging, Goldbach guessed, can Jiang Jing do it? Of course, Bai Sheng can't do it.
And then there are the limits and continuities that I learned in high school, trigonometric functions or something, Jiang Jing definitely can't do these things, but he can't come up with this kind of problem, right?
Not to mention that he himself has almost forgotten it, and he can't remember it for a while, but even if he remembers, how can he express it in ancient grammar?
There is no way to solve a problem, let alone a simple one. The four operations in elementary school must not be able to come out, if Jiang Jing can't even calculate this, it is absolutely impossible to be called a god operator. The mathematical achievements of the Song Dynasty were not so weak.
He was thinking hard about the topic here, but Jiang Jing was not angry with the boss, and he said in his heart that you Bai Sheng was alarmist.
As long as it is not within the scope of classics such as "Zhou Ji Sutra", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Island Sutra", "Five Classics of Arithmetic", "Ancient Sutra of Arithmetic", "Fixation" and other classics, there is no problem that can be difficult for me!
But seeing Bai Sheng's eyes wandering, he suddenly stopped on the wine jar and the sixteen abacus beads on the table, looked at it for a while, and then looked at the money bags that had been emptied after being snatched up under the table.
He stared at these things for a while, and suddenly said: "Yes, just borrow these two things from your previous gambling game, plus the empty bag under the table, and give you two questions, if you answer the first question correctly, you don't have to answer the second question to pass the test, if you don't answer the first question correctly, I will give you an extra chance, how about it?"
Jiang Jing was very excited, and said in his heart that you are too big, using my things to solve the problem, not only the topic itself is limited, but also the amount of calculation is definitely not large, because there is only a wine jar and sixteen abacus beads and more than a dozen money bags, these things you let me add, subtract, multiply and divide the power of the square is no problem!
And you actually dare to give me two questions, isn't this sending me to win? Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Okay, the master of Baizhai, let's make a decision, if I can't answer one of them, I don't have to live in the world in the future!"
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, as for this, Jiang Jing gambled his life for the sake of fame? But on the other hand, I can also feel Jiang Jing's strong confidence, since I dare to say this, I must have a chance of winning!
Bai Sheng stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay! Master Jiang Zhai is really happy, then the question will be solved in the next one, let's talk about the first question first......
As he spoke, he bent down and picked out five money bags from under the table and put them on the table, put away the eight beads in his hand, and then pointed to the eight beads left on the table and continued: "Put these eight beads in these five money bags respectively, and require that each bag has beads in it, and the beads in each bag are even numbers. If you can do it, you win. ”
Jiang Jing was immediately dumbfounded after hearing this. Is this a difficult question? It's not difficult at all, the problem is that it can't be done at all!
Not only Jiang Jing was dumbfounded, but everyone else was also dumbfounded, only eight beads were given, but there were five bags, and each bag had to put at least two grains in it to be considered an even number, right? But after putting the first four, how to put the fifth bag? There are not enough beads!
Even Xiao Feng laughed and said, "Bai Sheng, it's too unkind for you to ask questions like this, you have to give people at least ten beads." ”
Bai Sheng pursed his lips and said, "If I give him ten beads, can it still be regarded as a question?" If that's really the case, you ask who around here can't do it?"
Xiao Feng thought that this was really the case, but these eight beads definitely didn't work, this problem was already difficult to the point of being unsolvable.
This truth is too simple, almost everyone understands it, so Jiang Jing didn't think much about it at all, and directly shook his head, "There is no solution to this problem! ”
This time, even Xiao Feng was helping Jiang Jing speak: "I think so too, Bai Sheng, you definitely can't do it too!"
Bai Sheng said with a smile: "Whether this problem has been solved or not is not something that you Jiang Zhai can identify, you just say whether you can solve it or not." ”
Jiang Jing said decisively: "I, Jiang Jing, can't solve it!"
Bai Sheng no longer ignored Jiang Jing, but turned back to Xiao Feng and whispered, "If I can untie it, do you want to ...... with me tonight?"
Xiao Feng was ashamed and angry, "Bah", and said in a low voice: "Why do you always think about this?"
Bai Shengse smiled in confusion: "This thing is comfortable!"
After that, he no longer flirted with Xiao Feng, but straightened his face and said loudly: "Everyone has shown me a good look." Then he picked up the abacus and put it in a bag.
Two bags in one, and four bags were quickly filled, and people couldn't help but laugh when they saw this, but they wanted to see what you used for this fifth bag!
But he saw that Bai Sheng stuffed all the four bags that had been packed into the fifth bag, and then held the fifth bag high above his head with one hand, and said, "You tell me, how many beads are in this bag?"
"Eight grains!" someone immediately replied.
Bai Sheng followed up and asked, "Is eight grains an even number?"
"Uh......"
At this moment, people immediately understood the mystery, some people exclaimed: "Wonderful!" and some people questioned: "Is this okay?"
Bai Sheng asked rhetorically, "Why can't this work? Did I say that you are not allowed to put the bag in other bags?"
"Uh...... That's not ......."
Jiang Jing was so angry, on the one hand, he blamed himself for not being able to think of this, and on the other hand, he was angry at Bai Sheng's deception, and complained: "Is this also called an arithmetic problem?"
Bai Sheng smiled and said, "Why can't you call it? Tell you, this is called the Olympiad problem!"
Jiang Jing thought about it for a long time and didn't understand what the Olympiad was, so he had to admit that he was unlucky, and he was unwilling: "What about the second question?"
Bai Sheng smiled: "The second question is simpler. As he spoke, he put down the money bag, patted the wine jar with his free hand, and then compared the shape of a standing palm, and said, "Cut this palm and turn this jar into five big pieces and ten small pieces, can you do it?"
Everyone gasped again, and said that this question is even more difficult, this is not only an arithmetic problem, but also a test of the respondent's control of palm power, looking at Bai Sheng's confident appearance, presumably he can do it, the question is who can do it others?
Jiang Jing didn't think that this was a test of palm power, and there were indeed similar problems in some of the weird arithmetic problems he had seen, and he felt that this needed to consider the angle and continuity of the cut. Suppose the palm is used as a knife, and this knife can be skillfully cut on the wine jar as long as there is no pause and retraction.
But this requirement is too high, if it is two large pieces, four small pieces and so on, you can still imagine one or two, how to cut these five big pieces and ten small pieces? I can't think of it directly! There is no need to even give it a try, although there are still a few empty jars on the ground.
Seeing that the sun in the sky was already in the west, and people's stomachs were already ringing, Jiang Jing was still standing at the table in a daze, thinking hard, Ou Peng couldn't help it, so he persuaded: "Second brother, admit defeat." ”
This time, no one dared to let Bai Sheng perform in person to confirm that this problem was solved, and no one wanted to lose anyone again.
Even Xiao Feng didn't dare, she was afraid that she would have to deal with Bai Sheng again this time, and she would really have to do that with him at night.
The slanting sun shone on Jiang Jing's pale and haggard face, and his desperate look made people feel pity. Suddenly, I saw him pick up the abacus in his hand and cut it down on his neck.
It has long been noticed that the edge of the abacus side is a sharp blade.
