Chapter 64: (2/2)
Three, two, one——
The host begins to announce the rules!
The difference between the second round of the arena and the first round is that the first round relies on the amount of questions answered within the specified time to accumulate points, and the scores stand out in the front row. The question is relatively weaker than the second round.
In the second round, only ten minutes are given. Within ten minutes, three questions will be displayed on the big screen, divided into three levels of difficulty. The low level of difficulty is that even if this group has reached the national semi-finals, it means that the players with superior IQ are also very good. It is difficult to solve, and the most advanced difficulty is that there are very few people who can solve it. Even if it can be solved, it is almost impossible in such a short time.
The rule is that several players choose one of them, as long as it is unlocked, it will be considered as a pass. However, passing the test does not necessarily make it to the finals.
What does that mean? If anyone in the team solves the most difficult problem, even if other people solve one of the simple problems, it is counted as eliminated.
This can be said to be a new type of prisoner's dilemma.
If all the players are not so competitive and they agree to each other to solve the simplest question, then everyone can pass the level and enter the finals.
But now the point is that if only one person can solve the most difficult problem and solves it, then others who have solved the simple problem will be dead.
After all, it is a variety show, which will create some gimmicks and examine the human nature of the players.
The other groups don’t know, but almost all the six people in this group felt that the murderous werewolf wearing the raccoon headgear would definitely solve the most difficult question—had you not seen her eyes lit up? Don't ask how they saw her eyes, it was when the most difficult question appeared on the big screen, she was obviously excited.
Damn, damn, in this case, even if they solve the simplest one, it is of no use. Once the werewolf in Province Z solves the most difficult one, they will all accompany her to run. !
——So everyone’s first reaction was to learn from the pain, and choose the most difficult one.
Needless to say, Na Qiaolan, she wants to compete with Zhong Youyou, and she won't allow herself to lose, so she must do the hardest way.
The host saw that this group was obviously more nervous than the other groups, and unexpectedly chose the hardest one in unison, and joked: ”It's the best group, have you all chosen the hardest? Ambitious? !”
Four people except Zhong Youyou and Na Qiaolan: ”...”
Listen, is this talking human? Don’t you see that they were forced? Didn't you see that they were dragged and forced to run?
...
The hourglass kept falling, and the atmosphere was tense.
Na Qiaolan's whole body was very tight, and every one or two minutes she raised her head to look at Zhong Youyou, quickly calculating in her mind, and quickly writing formulas under her hands.
This question involves modern analysis. The absolute theory of relativity in it will make people dizzy, as well as various complicated calculus conversion calculations. Fortunately, Na Qiaolan is well prepared. If she is given some more time, she can The reason for this question is thorough and thorough. But now only ten minutes, she can also answer it.
She calculated quickly, her heart beating, feeling a little excited that she was not far from victory.
May I ask, besides her, who else can solve this question in ten minutes?
Even if the raccoon headgear of Province Z is well-known, it can be answered, then it will be counted as a tie with her, and then the two will enter the national finals together, and she will not lose!
The other four people here are Kakaka, and their brains are buzzing.
After all, this kind of knowledge contest tests people's overall quality very much. A slightly simpler question can be easily solved in front of so many audiences. This kind of very complicated and difficult question, give them more time, in absolute silence, They still have a chance of doing it.
But now I am so nervous! I'm so nervous that my fingers are stiff, how can I concentrate 100% of my mental energy to think about that question——
Two people did half of it directly, and switched to the simple one.
A dead horse is regarded as a living horse doctor. They will definitely not be able to do the hardest one, so they can't give up the simplest one! Maybe Zhong Youyou and Na Qiaolan, who look awesome over there, can't do the hardest thing, but it's just swelling their faces and filling them with fat? !
After a few more minutes, more than half of the time passed, and a player who couldn't even do the simplest, simply abstained.
The whole audience can only hear the sound of the heart beating!
The cold sweat dripped from the players' foreheads.
The people in Class 19 here are also very nervous. The live broadcast happened to be in Zhong Youyou's group. Perhaps the raccoon headgear had too many mosaics. The program group did not give Zhong Youyou many shots. More of the shots of other players clenching their teeth and looking tense.
The people in Class 19 didn't dare to breathe. I don't know what will happen to the second round of the semifinals that directly determines the top 20 in the country.
”There are still thirty minutes left, everyone check your answers.” The host reminded.
The player who abstained, and the player who spent all of his time on the hardest problem but got nothing, all face dead. Knowing that I can never get out of the siege.
Unexpectedly, along the way, but can only stop here.
The other two contestants who chose simple questions halfway through were still sweating.
But at this moment, Na Qiaolan smiled suddenly, raised the paper in her hand, and said: ”I have solved the most difficult one.”
Both the auditorium and the players' stand took a breath.
——They looked at the guy wearing the raccoon headgear and had been very calm, thinking that the final winner would be the raccoon girl, but they didn't expect that the girl from H province would do it first? ? ?
The host was also surprised, and then praised: ”It seems that this player is really strong, but there are still fifteen seconds left.”
In the last fifteen seconds, everyone's nerves were tense.
The atmosphere is like a string on the verge.
Na Qiaolan solved the most difficult question, holding the table with both hands, looking at Zhong Youyou who was opposite, with complacency in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Seeing her with a well-established look, and Zhong Youyou wearing a huge raccoon headgear over there is still hurrying to write, the mood of the people in Class 19 has dropped to a freezing point...
Is it true that there is still another mountain high?
In their eyes, the Z province is already extremely strong. Is Zhong Youyou in their class going to lose to this domineering girl?
What annoying!
Everyone clenched their fists and couldn't bear to see the result.
Fifteen seconds later, the answers of several contestants were called up.
Zhong Youyou also handed in the answer sheet, and looked up at that Qiaolan, which seemed extremely calm.
Na Qiaolan snorted coldly in her heart, extremely proud, she had already solved the most difficult question, can she surpass herself as the number one in Province Z? At most, it is a tie.
The host said: ”Okay. Give the judges five minutes. After five minutes, the ranking will be announced on the big screen.”
For the audience, these five minutes were transferred to other groups, and for the stage, it was an extremely solemn five minutes.
In this long five minutes, the six players looked different.
The people in Class 19 are not in the mood to see how the other teams are going, they just waited nervously for the situation in this team, although they all lamented in their hearts, shouldn’t Zhong Youyou only stop at the top 500 in the country? Okay, don't...
Ren Zi'an and Xu Xiaoyue are all staring at the TV. This feeling of unknown fate is really like a big rock hanging in their hearts.
If Zhong Youyou stops here...
Ugh……
Moderator: ”Welcome back, five seconds later, the ranking will be announced. Please look up at the big screen.”
Fives--
The nineteenth class raised their heads instantly.
four--
There was no sound in the audience, they were all waiting.
three--
The players are tense.
two--
Na Qiaolan still stared at Zhong Youyou, the camera swept over, and she smiled proudly.
One--
The girl in the raccoon headgear stood there.
...
The screen lights up, and what appears is--
”What's the matter?!” Qiaolan's arrogant expression turned pale for a moment, and she called out.
Everyone couldn't believe it, the other players turned their heads and looked at Zhong Youyou.
On the screen, the string of qyxlp (Mingde Senior High School Class No. 39 in Z Province) was impressively pressed on the head of Na Qiaolan (High School Class No. 1 in H Province No. 1 Middle School), not to mention a few others, whose heads were all gray. Yes, I was crushed down.
Class 19 screamed: ”Fuck! It's Zhong Youyou, it's Zhong Youyou!”
The host was also a little surprised. He looked at Zhong Youyou on the side. This is impossible. If the Qiaolan contestant has solved the most difficult question, then this contestant can only be tied, no It might be crushed like this.
Seeing everyone's doubts, the representative of the judges explained: ”This student wrote the answers to all three questions in just ten minutes.”
Zhong Youyou nodded, raised the raccoon's head, folded his arms and asked, ”Are there any more difficult questions?”
Everyone: ”...”
