Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School

Chapter 360: Preliminary Mathematical Olympiad Competition (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Because the Year One cohort had the most people registered, the first round was for the Year One students, with more than fifty students participating.

Everyone followed the invigilators into the lecture theater and sat down according to the teacher’s instructions.

Jian Ai sat in the third row and casually looked around. Because the lecture theater was huge, eight people could sit in each row, and there was a certain distance between each person. There were three invigilators, each at the back and in front. It was almost impossible to cheat.

Every student was only allowed to bring a pen into the venue. After they handed out the paper, each student received two pieces of calculus paper. Once they hand in the examination papers, they should come along with the calculus papers.

“You have eighty minutes to answer the questions. Eight fill-in-the-blanks questions, each worth eight points. Three problem sum questions worth sixteen points, twenty points, and twenty points, respectively. The full score is one hundred and twenty points. During the examination, no one is allowed to look around. Those who plagiarize or cheat will be disqualified once they are found. The entire school will announce and criticize them!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the stern invigilator looked down at the time and said, “You may start now!”

Jian Ai looked down at the examination papers and saw the complicated formulas and drawings. Although she was a top student who had graduated from Capital University in her previous life, she did not dare to let her guard down. If she was careless, she might fail.

After all, over a hundred people were competing for five participation slots. It could be said to be a huge competition.

The others were the same and didn’t dare to relax at all. The temptation of bonus points for the college entrance examination was self-evident. If one added one more point to one’s score among the millions of students in the college entrance examination, one’s ranking would rise by tens of thousands.

…

When one was focused, time would pass unknowingly. After fifty minutes, people started to hand in their papers.

People kept walking past her, but it did not affect Jian Ai at all. She was still focused on performing a second round of calculations on the calculator to ensure that her answer was correct.

Jian Yiyi was the first from Class One to submit her papers. Then, Gao Yang and Lin Yi also finished their papers. Before leaving the lecture theater, Lin Yi couldn’t help but look at Jian Ai, who had her head lowered and was focused. His eyes were filled with worry.

Lin Yi and Gao Yang weren’t in a hurry to leave. Instead, they waited for Jian Ai in the corridor while talking about their answers.

However, neither of their answers matched the last three questions.

“Whose answer is correct?” Lin Yi was a little stunned. Even if the questions were difficult, they shouldn’t have different answers for all three questions, right?

Gao Yang was very calm. After all, the Mathematical Olympiad questions were like this. They were much more complicated than the questions they had in the past. Even if they failed, he wouldn’t be surprised.

“When Jian Ai comes out later, let’s hear her answers and see who matches,” Gao Yang said.

At the last moment of the eighty minutes, only Jian Ai was left in the lecture theater.

With the invigilator’s announcement, Jian Ai stopped writing at the same time. Then, she handed the examination papers and calculus papers to the invigilator and slowly walked out of the lecture theater.

When he saw Jian Ai come out, Lin Yi immediately went up to her. “Why are you only out now? How did you do?”

Jian Ai nodded slightly. “I got them all. I’ve checked every question three times. They should be okay.”

“The last three questions.. What are your final answers?” Gao Yang looked at Jian Ai and asked.
