Chapter 64 West Germany (5)

The official examination of the Mathematical Olympiad will last for two days, 4.5 hours per day.

The IMO test paper consists of 6 questions. In two days, three questions are tested every day. On average, each question takes 1.5 hours.This time is already equivalent to the total time spent on a college entrance examination paper.

The IMO exam questions are actually determined by the team leaders of each country through consultation.Basically, 6 questions will be provided by 6 different countries.

The test papers received by the contestants of each country have been translated into their own language by the team leader of their country.

Ivan Ivanovic walked into the examination room with his head held high and his chest held high. As the number one player in CCCP, he enjoyed a lot of attention, but Ivan didn't care about it at all.

The test paper was handed out, and to Ivan's surprise, there were no common geometry problems in this test paper. (The scope of the Mathematical Olympiad exam mainly covers the four major categories of algebra, geometry, number theory and combinatorial mathematics)
Facing the test paper, Chen Quan also frowned, because he has a good sense of space, and geometry questions are his strengths.

But when he read it carefully, he found that the first question was actually a geometry question without drawing a figure.

Now, Chen Quan was happy, took out the ruler, waved the pen, and stabbed.
The examination room was temporarily converted from a gymnasium, and nearly [-] contestants took the examination together under the same roof.

In the gymnasium of Nuoda, apart from the occasional coughing, there is only the rustling of pencils.
-
At 1:30, the first day of exams ended, and the hungry candidates walked out of the gymnasium one after another.

"How about it?"

The team leaders from each country greeted their team members respectively.

"no problem!"

Ivan Ivanovich waved his hand arrogantly.

"I made two." Niu Mingdi replied. "The third question, no idea."

"I have answered all three questions." Wei Chunyu was very happy.

"I answered all three questions." Chen Quan replied.

"Have you answered all three questions?"

Mary confirmed again.According to historical experience, as long as three questions are correct, the bronze medal will not be lost.

This achievement, if placed in previous years, has already achieved the task of preserving capital.

"Yes."

Chen Quan and Wei Chunyu nodded at the same time.

"Okay, okay! Let's go eat."

"Eat! Eat! Let me tell you, I'm starving!" Wei Chunyu's voice was particularly loud.

Judging from the results of the first day, he was the only all-pair player in the team, and in his eyes, Chen Quan had no basis at all.

Of course, there are also some team leaders who come here with a soy sauce mentality, don’t ask anything, just take the team members away, go to the cafeteria first, and pick out good food.

The results on the first day made Wei Chunyu very proud and Chen Quan very happy.

Chen Quan really wanted to talk to someone, this temporary happiness, maybe, after tomorrow, this happiness will no longer exist.

It's a pity that the dormitory building is just like the examination room, you can only enter and exit.

Therefore, after tossing and turning for a long time, Chen Quan fell asleep.

On July 7, the exam entered its second day.

Chen Quan read it carefully, and felt that it was much more difficult than yesterday's three.I don't know if other players have similar feelings.

IMO topics are rooted in middle school mathematics, but have expanded in terms of specific knowledge and have higher requirements in methods.

Generally speaking, IMO questions are more difficult, flexible, and resourceful.These require the contestants to have the correct way of thinking, good mathematical literacy and basic skills, tenacious perseverance and certain creativity.

"How do you read the books from junior high school?"

When Zhang Yue'e returned home, she watched her daughter dig out all the things from a long time ago.

"Oh, just looking around." Qu Yanqiu smiled unnaturally.

Although the AI ​​left her with enough memory for the exam, many basic definitions were missing instead.On many issues, Qu Yanqiu knew what happened but didn't know why.So, she had to go back and start over.

"Are there any difficulties that cannot be solved?"

Zhang Yuee sat down with concern.

"Um"

Qu Yanqiu didn't know how to describe her predicament.

In the process of learning, it is inevitable that you will encounter difficulties.Now is not the future, and there is no network available. If you really encounter problems, you can only ask people.

But she didn't dare to ask, because she gave everyone the impression that she was already a genius with full marks.If people know that she has blind spots in such a basic field, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

This is also the reason why she had to rummage through all the information she could find.

"You can't do that."

Zhang Yue'e picked up her daughter's new note, which was covered in scribbled handwriting.

Qu Yanqiu felt guilty. "What's wrong?"

"You are deliberately suppressing yourself."

"No! Mom, why do you say that?"

"Look, this word!"

Zhang Yue'e raised the note in her hand. "You are running away!"

"Escape from what? I have nothing to escape!" Qu Yanqiu was a little panicked, and quickly denied it.

"I don't know what you're running from."

Zhang Yue'e put down her notes, grabbed her daughter's hands firmly, and said sincerely: "But I can clearly feel that you are trying to cut off from the past.

Everything you did before, you want to overthrow, such as this font.Your previous fonts were neat, but now you want to use messy instead. "

Sun Yue'e had already noticed the change in her daughter.Although she didn't understand the principle, she found the truth.

"And your way of doing things. You used to be a calm person, but now, you deliberately avoid being calm. But you do it too deliberately, which makes people feel fake."

"Well, can you feel my change?"

Qu Yanqiu asked in a low voice.

In fact, part of the phenomenon that Zhang Yue'e felt was the result of personality switching, but part of it was indeed, as Zhang Yue'e said, evasion and denial.

Subconsciously, Qu Yanqiu has a negative attitude towards AI.After all, two "people" are in a life-and-death relationship.Therefore, no matter what he does, Qu Yanqiu always subconsciously and instinctively wants to erase the imprint of the other party's existence.

For example, writing, after three years, the body has already cooperated with AI and formed muscle memory.But if Qu Yanqiu abandoned it, the font would naturally be scribbled.

There is also the way of doing things. I want to emphasize that I am the real and pure Qu Yanqiu. As a result, I made a lot of actions that are not suitable for my age. After all, AI represents calmness and maturity.Its opposite is immature and not calm.

"Of course. We live together every day, how can I not notice your change?"

Zhang Yue'e breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter put down her defensive attitude.

"Actually, mom doesn't care much about your changes, and your childish cover-up behavior. What I'm afraid of is."

Zhang Yue'e hesitated to speak.

"Mom, what are you afraid of?"

As the mother and daughter bonded together, Qu Yanqiu's mentality also relaxed.

Not everyone can handle the stress of cheating on those closest to them.

Zhang Yuee stretched out her hand and gently stroked her daughter's fair cheek.

"You are still young, if you close yourself up so early, there is a high possibility that you will have mental problems in the future."

"Spiritual problems?"

"Yes, there was once a colleague in my mom's unit who lived in his own fantasy every day and couldn't extricate himself."

Seeing that her daughter was interested, Zhang Yuee continued to tell the story: "She always wanted to show herself and be different. For this reason, she made up a lot of lies, such as family, background, etc. We have worked together for many years, and we have known her for a long time. The real situation has been exposed many times, but she still enjoys it. Maybe, she really believes what she said."

"and after?"

"Later, she was sent away. Mom didn't know where she went."

"Oh"

Qu Yanqiu fell into deep thought.

To cover up a lie, it always takes more lies.

During this period, Qu Yanqiu lied more than the sum of the previous 16 years.She has fallen into a vicious circle, and she doesn't even know which of the words she said is true.

Qu Yanqiu gritted her teeth: "Mom, if I told you that the me a while ago and the me now are not the same person at all, what would you think, what would you think?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yue'e actually laughed. "Actually, I've known it for a long time. I'm your mother, can't I see your change?"

"You already knew? Since when?"

Qu Yanqiu was shocked.

"The earliest, it was in the second year of junior high school." Zhang Yue'e narrowed her eyes, lost in memory. "That time, you passed out very similar to this time. You were sick for a whole day, slept for a whole day, and then you changed."

"Then why didn't you tell anyone else?"

"Say??? What do you want me to say?"

Zhang Yue'e looked into her daughter's eyes. "Are you saying that my daughter has become a monster?"

"That"

Qu Yanqiu didn't know what to say.

She was a little thankful, because her mother did not take the initiative to expose, and she was also a little resentful, because her mother did not take the initiative to expose, even if she did, it would not change anything.

"What mother wants to say is that no matter what you become, you are my daughter, whether it is you a month ago or you now."

"But."

Qu Yanqiu was still a little unwilling. How could AI be recognized by his own mother?
"Maybe you didn't notice, but mom noticed, you are actually one person!"

"one person?"

Qu Yanqiu was really surprised this time.

"You relax, don't try to control it, and write another word?"

Zhang Yuee returned the notebook to her daughter. "Try it"

Qu Yanqiu picked up the oil pen in a daze, but didn't put it down for a long time.

Because she knows what the font will look like without active control.Because the muscles have already formed a memory, the results of more than three years of training cannot be overturned in a short time.

"Don't blindly deny the past. No matter what mistakes you have made in the past, they are all part of you. Learn from mistakes, grow from mistakes, everyone comes here like this."

Zhang Yue'e did not have all the information. Perhaps in her opinion, her daughter was strongly stimulated by something, and her personality changed drastically.After a big change in personality, he began to deny himself.

But many of her words had an unexpected effect on Qu Yanqiu who was in a daze.

"Whatever the past is, is it a part of me?"

"Yes! It's like, no matter what you have become, you are still my daughter. No matter what you were in the past, she is a part of you. She is actually yourself, no matter how you want to deny it."

"Is she me?"

Qu Yanqiu muttered to herself.

Although the human brain cannot distinguish which memory is made by oneself and which is made by AI, due to a strong sense of repulsion, Qu Yanqiu still forcibly categorizes the memories according to time and preferences.

In Qu Yanqiu's heart, the AI ​​is just a passer-by from outside, so that part of the memory is a wrong memory.They shouldn't be admitted, or even exist.

"AI is actually a part of me? Or, the current me is actually a combination of AI and me?"

Thinking of this, Qu Yanqiu closed her eyes, trying to accept and perceive those memories and behaviors that she rejected and rejected.

Seeing her daughter lost in thought, Zhang Yue'e quietly got up and left, and closed the door.

"Xiaoqiu figured it out?"

Outside the door was Director Qu, Qu Yanqiu's father, who looked worried.

Inside the door, after an unknown amount of time, Qu Yanqiu suddenly felt a warm current gushing from the bottom of her heart. This warm feeling made her extremely calm.
