Chapter 80 National Mathematics Contest Provincial Preliminaries (for further reading)
Saturday, April 10.

A group of 12 students representing Sanchuan University, 2 professors, 2 counselors, and a driver, a total of 17 people took a minibus from Sanchuan University to Tianfu University, the test center in the province, for the exam.

Professor Li looked at all the students nervously: "Have you brought your student ID card and exam admission ticket?"

Watching the students he brought to the battlefield was more nervous than taking the exam himself.

"Bring it."

Members of both the numbers and non-numbers teams checked their backpacks.

"Okay, challenge your mentality and show your best level."

Professor Li instructed.

The 12 student representatives were obedient and took deep breaths.

At this moment, they are not like college students, but more like a group of primary school students.

"Everyone turn off their mobile phones and put them here with me."

Counselor Jiang said, he deliberately smiled at Gu Feng.

In this competition, Counselor Jiang was able to lead the team entirely because of Gu Feng.

As the seedling most likely to get good grades in the math competition, the headmaster thought it would be better to send someone he knew well to take care of.

So Counselor Jiang was ordered in the face of danger and received this beautiful job.

He had already begun to expect that the photo of himself and Gu Feng would be hung on the school's honor wall in the future, and he would become the most respectable counselor at Sanchuan University. This feeling was like being on a mural.

The mathematics competition is divided into senior grades, junior grades, mathematics majors, and non-mathematics majors.

The 12 student teams were divided into 4 groups, with 3 people in each group. The numbers of the 3 people were different, and they were assigned to different examination rooms.

Each group is headed by a teacher, Professor Li and Professor Dong are responsible for mathematics majors, and two counselors are responsible for non-mathematical majors, but most of the time they act in groups, because all the examination rooms are gathered at Tianfu University, a key provincial university.

The bus started and headed north.

The 12 energetic student representatives began to get nervous, and the tension was no less than that of the college entrance examination.

Gu Feng could clearly hear Zhang Haibo's thumping and accelerating heartbeat, as well as the sweat on his head.

Counselor Jiang immediately handed Zhang Haibo tissues and water, and asked with concern, "Student, do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Ah, I don't, thank you counselor, I'm just hot and nervous."

Zhang Haibo said.

Professor Li is used to Zhang Haibo, a mobile sweating machine. As the team leader, he will lead the team to the provincial preliminary round of the annual National College Students Mathematical Contest today, and he is extremely excited.

Last year, the team led by Professor Li did not perform well, and none of them went to the provincial level.

The year before last was even worse, with 0 first prizes, 0 second prizes, and only 1 third prize, and it was still a non-key university ranking.

The year before last was even worse. This is a report card that cannot be shown.

The record that Professor Li is most proud of dates back to six years ago when he was not at Sanchuan University. At that time, Huaji Normal University led by him entered the final and won a third prize in national mathematics.

Since Professor Li was recruited to Sanchuan University, such a grand occasion no longer exists. The overall science subjects of Sanchuan University are weak, which makes Professor Li very unwilling.

Professor Li just wants to lead the Mathematics Department of Sanchuan University to glory, and the first step to glory is to enter the final of the National College Mathematics Competition!
Originally, the hopes of the numerical team were all on Xuemo Liu Bailin, but now that Gu Feng has an extra trump card, Professor Li feels that this time it is safe.

At least before I retire, I will complete my great revival dream, or take the first step.

Let the principal realize that the Department of Mathematics is the hope of the future of Sanchuan University, and it is good that more resources are biased towards the Department of Mathematics.

Among the people on the minibus, the only person who can understand Professor Li is Lao Dong.

Old Dong is in charge of leading the junior team this time, Gu Feng, Li Tong and Liu Jie.

Although these three people have different majors, they have all attended Lao Dong's class. What Lao Dong is most worried about is not Gu Feng, but Liu Jie, a highly socially phobic patient.

Liu Jie was sitting in the back row, wearing a hat and a mask, fully armed, with his eyes closed, he had already begun to silently recite the Heart Sutra of Mathematics in order to isolate himself from the disturbances of the world.

Old Dong only hoped that Liu Jie's psychological quality would not fail him in the examination room.

The preliminary competition of the National College Mathematics Contest is organized by the provincial (regional) mathematics associations. The national unified examination questions are adopted, and the examinations are conducted in different competition areas at the same time.

This year's mathematics competition has a total of 31 competition areas, covering almost the entire Xia Kingdom. Of course, there are a few who slipped through the net. The number of people who signed up for the competition has reached 112779, and 26053 people from the mathematics department, a total of 138832 people.

A total of 2534 people participated in the Tianfu competition area, one sixth of which was mathematics, and the rest were non-mathematics.

The National Undergraduate Mathematics Contest has a preliminary prize and a final prize. The preliminaries and finals are selected according to the categories of mathematics majors and non-mathematics majors, and the first, second and third prizes are set.

Preliminary competition awards: Each competition area will be judged separately and reported to the Xia Guo Organizing Committee for approval. The total amount of awards for each competition area shall not exceed 25% of the total number of participants.

Among them, the number of winners of the first prize, second prize and third prize accounted for 20%, 30% and 50% of the total number of winners of each category respectively.

Final Award: The national unified award for the final. Each competition area will have no less than 6 participants in the final, who will be selected by each competition area among the winners of the first prize in the competition area. The award level in the final stage will be awarded according to the absolute score.

Gu Feng's goal is to hit the finals, so he must win the first prize in the Tianfu competition area first.

The bus stopped at the gate of Tianfu University.

12 student representatives entered the examination room after inspection. Student ID cards and examination admission tickets were all necessary, and mobile phones were not allowed.

Professor Li, Professor Dong and the two counselors rested in the designated area and were not allowed to enter the examination room, which affected the performance of candidates.

Professor Li looked at the six members of Team A of Shujing, pushed his glasses, and asked in turn:

"Liu Bailin, do you have a fever today?"

"No, Professor, I'm fine today."

Liu Bailin answered Professor Li with heavy dark circles under his eyes, probably because he was too excited to fall asleep last night.

"Zhang Haibo, have you brought enough tissues?"

"Bring it on, Professor."

Zhang Haibo was sweating profusely. Fortunately, today's outdoor temperature is only 28°C, which is a rare and refreshing day. He should not suffer from heat stroke.

"Liu Jie, don't be afraid of the people around you, treat them as mathematical root numbers."

"Okay, Professor."

Liu Jie began to give himself psychological hints, this trick was really effective, and everyone around him seemed to have turned into a root sign, all of them strangely shaped, belonging to the mutant root sign.

"Li Tong, don't squeeze your pimples, squeeze them after the exam."

"Ah, good, Professor."

Li Tong put down his hands and stopped scratching the struggle on his face.

"Feng Haowen, don't embarrass yourself, just play to your usual level."

"Ah."

The middle-aged senior Feng Haowen clenched his fists, expressing that he will do his best.

Finally, Professor Li cast his eyes on Gu Feng, patted him on the shoulder, and said nothing.

However, Gu Feng saw a raging fire in Professor Li's eyes.

He nodded heavily towards Professor Li and Professor Dong without saying anything, as if he had reached a certain tacit understanding.

The counselor also talked about some key issues with representatives of non-mathematics majors, and then a group of 12 people entered the examination room...
