Chapter 67 Mental Arithmetic Test

On July 5, Zhou Ming rested at home for a day. On July 6, Zhou Ming took the high-speed train to NJ again, and participated in the "The Strongest Brain" mental arithmetic ability test at Tianhe Gymnasium.

Zhou Ming called Wang Yunqing, the director of "The Brainiest", yesterday and asked him if he could challenge the mental arithmetic project. He is also good at mental arithmetic.

Wang Yunqing was overjoyed because the "The Brainiest" column team was looking for mental arithmetic experts nationwide recently, but he couldn't find a mental arithmetic expert with strength.

Especially two years ago, Chen Lanlan, the "Mental Arithmetic Queen" of Z, tied with Hiroya Ishiya, the "Mental Arithmetic Emperor" of Hiroya, and announced his retirement. Since then, on the stage of "The Strongest Brain", the masters of the mental arithmetic world of Z, disappeared collectively. I don't know if it was because Hiroya Ishiya was too strong or was afraid of losing. In short, no one of the powerful dared to go.

Now that he heard Zhou Ming take the initiative to come on, Wang Yunqing plans to give him a chance to appear on stage again, but this "Rude Cube Emperor" suddenly studied "mental arithmetic" across fields. Whether his strength can be done, he had a question mark in his mind.

Test room.

"3216+5024+5324+5245+1255, this is the addition of five four-digit numbers. Please answer the contestant."

3.5 seconds later, Zhou Ming showed the answer board in his hand: 20064, and said to the female scientific assistant in front of him: "Addition is too simple, change to a more difficult multiplication."

"Okay, here is a multiplication of nine by five digits, 165465456×46456, please start answering!"

In less than 5 seconds, Zhou Ming showed the answer board in his hand again: 7686863223936 and said: "It's not difficult enough, it's even more difficult!"

"The answer is correct. Next is a large-digit multiplication of seven digits multiplied by eleven digits. The difficulty coefficient is very high. Please look at the big screen to draw the question board."

The scientific scholar pointed at an electronic screen on the wall of the test room, making Zhou Ming look at the question board in the center of the screen:

6314859×87420397516

After the question board showed this question, Zhou Ming first printed these two sets of numbers into his mind in one second, then ran his brain for two seconds, started writing, buried his head on the answer board and quickly answered the numbers:

552047484037490244

After Zhou Ming pressed the timer and compared the answers, the science assistant couldn't help but scream: "It's totally correct, less than seven seconds, it's too fast, it's too fast!"

The director Wang Yunqing, who was standing beside him, also widened his eyes and looked at him like a monster for a while, then asked: "Zhou Ming, how long have you been practicing mental arithmetic? Your mental arithmetic strength is completely at the top level in China. You are fully qualified to be on "The Strongest Brain" and pk with Hiroami Ishiya, the 'Mental Arithmetic Emperor' of the Leaf Basin Kingdom!"

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "I practiced this project with Rubik's Cube. I have been practicing it for about a month..."

"I have practiced to this level in one month..."

Wang Yunqing's eyes widened and looked at him in disbelief. The monster in front of him flew to Earth from that planet. What was your purpose in coming to Earth?

After complaining in his heart, Wang Yunqing reminded him at the right time: "Zhou Ming, your level of multiplication of large digits is very good, but Hiromyū Ishiya is best at division large digits. Do you have strong strength in division mental arithmetic?"

On the surface, multiplication and division mental arithmetic should be of equal difficulty, but one is forward operation (multiple) and the other is inverse operation (divided). However, because different brains have different ways of thinking, some people are good at forward operation, others are good at reverse operation, and the majority are good at forward operation, and only a very small number are good at reverse operation.

For example, people have many hand-handed habits, right-handed people are definitely much more than left-handed people.

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "No problem. Instead, I think division is simpler than multiplication. It will write many fewer numbers and give answers faster... If you don't believe it, just set the questions quickly and test it out."

"There is a division of eleven divided by six digits. Please prepare to answer."

26243504882÷567329

46258

After brushing, Zhou Ming quickly wrote out the answer and pressed the timer.

"The answer is correct, it takes 2.8 seconds!"

"The next question is more difficult. It is a division of 16-digit numbers and nine-digit numbers. Please see the answers to the questions on the question board!"

2191669850969445÷589240137

3719485

After the question appeared, Zhou Ming wrote the correct answer in extreme times.

"It took 5.7 seconds, completely correct!"

After answering two questions correctly in a row, director Wang Yunqing was completely uneasy and said loudly to Kosuke: "Hurry up! Take the division question that Hiroami Ishiya hits the brain king last year and ask Zhou Ming to do it too to see how long it will take for him to figure out the answer!"

"Director Wang, are you talking about the 18-digit division by eleven-digit numbers, and the super-large-digit division calculated by Hiroami Ishiya in more than 7 seconds?"

Kosuke opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise. Last year's Brain King Challenge was unforgettable. Although Hiroaki Ishiya finally failed to win the Brain King Trophy, the strong strength he showed through this division question still impressed everyone.

"Yes, yes, come up with this question quickly and let Zhou Ming try it out too to see if he can break Hiroami Shiya's record!"

Wang Yunqing saw hope and saw the program "The Strongest Brain". In the mental arithmetic project, he was suppressed by the "Mental Arithmetic Emperor" in the Foot Basin Kingdom for three consecutive years. Now he has the hope of turning around.

Zhou Ming, the ordinary young man in front of him, brought him far more shock and surprise than any contestant who has appeared on the show "The Strongest Brain".

This young man was extremely confident and arrogant! But he was never afraid of challenges. During the challenge, he could always prove that the big words he made were not lies with his strength to the limit of humanity! He could also take it and let it go, disdain to argue with the weak, and said that his brain was the strongest brain and wanted to defeat all opponents. Wang Yunqing actually didn't believe it very much, only thought he was young and energetic, but now, he really began to believe it.

"Eighteen digits divided by eleven digits, more than 7 seconds. I remembered that I have watched this episode, and it seems to be 7 seconds 48..."

Zhou Ming was also impressed by the Brain King Challenge in the last episode of the third season of "The Strongest Brain". In this episode, the one who won the Brain King trophy in the end seemed to be a 15-year-old boy named Chen Zhiqiang, nicknamed "Supernova Boy".

The technician quickly found the question and entered it into the background system of the question board.

Kosuke, who is sweet and sweet, also gently reminded: "Zhou Ming, please carefully observe the question board. This question is very difficult. I hope you can express your greatest strength, solve this question as quickly as possible, and write the correct answer." After saying that, Kosuke gave him a charming look.

"Ok!"

Zhou Ming made a gesture, focused his attention, and stared at the countdown on the question board, 3, 2, 1, the question display!

425688500537940536÷74169305821

Brush!

Dong!

Press the timer for 5.35 seconds.

Zhou Ming wrote down his answer on the answer board without reservation almost the moment he finished scanning the question:

5739416

Wang Yunqing, who was standing aside, quickly snatched his answer board and asked the staff to announce the correct answer: 5739416.

“Correct, absolutely correct!”

Seeing the time spent by Zhou Ming last time, Wang Yunqing was stunned, the beautiful girl next to him was also stunned, and the other staff members in the test room were also staying, and then they all looked at the man with admiration, with great excitement on everyone's faces.

"Ba, bha~"

"Play it ~"

I don’t know who applauded first, but then the applause in the test room was so hard to calm down for a long time.

"Xiao Zhou, you are the savior of our "The Strongest Brain". Those who question and insult "The Strongest Brain" every day can finally shut up! Let's go! I won't say anything. Xiao Zhou, I'll invite you to a big meal!"

The red-faced director Wang Yunqing said, holding Zhou Ming's arm, and then glanced at the eight or nine staff members in the test room. He waved his hand and said generously: "Let's go together, you can go together. I am in a good mood today. Please invite you to have a big meal together!"

"Long live the king's lord!"

There was cheers in the test room!

...

At noon, I spent a meal of over 10,000 yuan in a seafood hotel in the city. During the middle of the day, Wang Yunqing answered a call. After dinner, Wang Yunqing, who was slightly drunk, pulled Zhou Ming aside and said:

"Xiao Zhou, the column team has just adjusted the recording schedule. On July 10, the eighth episode of "The Strongest Brain" will arrange for you to appear again! Fighting against the two apprentices sent by Hiroya Ishiya, don't underestimate his two apprentices too much. After you go back, practice mental arithmetic more and fight in the best condition! Also, your body can't have the same accident as last time. It's best to arrive at NJ in advance. The program team will arrange food and accommodation for you... Also, you must keep the phone open and ensure that you can contact us at any time!"

"No problem, Director Wang." Zhou Ming nodded.

Maybe he still felt that it was not safe, Wang Yunqing whispered in his ear:

"Xiao Zhou, if the eighth episode "The Brainiest" is recorded, you will successfully defeat Hiroami Ishiya's two apprentices. The column team decided to give you a bonus of 300,000! In addition, your appearance fee for each episode will be increased to 50,000, which means that as long as you participate in the recording of the program, you can get 50,000 even if you don't participate in the challenge... Xiao Zhou, secretly tell you that Brother Shui Wang Yiheng's appearance fee is also the same. Our column team is very optimistic about you."

"Oh ~ There is still such a thing?"

Zhou Ming's eyes lit up and he immediately patted his chest and made a promise: "Director Wang, please rest assured, even if the sky falls, I promise to come to participate in the show. Try to go to NJ a day or two in advance... In this way, you should be relieved, right?"

Wang Yunqing raised his head and laughed: "Don't worry, absolutely safe!"
Chapter completed!
