In Zhao Xiancai's impression, British mathematics is quite good. Not to mention Newton and others hundreds of years ago, Andrew Wiles, who solved Fermat's last theorem, is from Britain and is still alive today.

.

Mathematics at Cambridge and Oxford is still among the best in global rankings.

In order to improve the impression of the entire team in the eyes of the opponent, Zhao Xiancai picked up some topics that he found a bit difficult when talking about mathematics with the British players.

In addition, when Zhao Xiancai said many things, he said ten sentences as one sentence, because he felt that others could understand without having to say it in such detail. This also made Zhou Wen and others who often discussed mathematical problems with him, when talking with him,

When talking about math topics, sometimes I would ask him to speak more slowly.

They didn't get into the groove at first, but they were still able to keep up with Zhao Xiancai's rhythm, and both sides were talking and laughing.

But when Zhao Xiancai entered the state, they stopped talking. Zhao Xiancai's sudden change also directly confused the British players.

"Hey, we had such a good chat, why did they leave?"

Seeing that after he finished speaking, these British players randomly found an excuse to leave, Zhao Xiancai said to Gao Peicai and the others in a strange way.

"How did you see that you two were having a good chat? Didn't you realize that except at the beginning, you were the only one talking afterwards?

You spoke so fast and the questions were so difficult, I even doubted whether they understood.

If we hadn't discussed the topic you just mentioned before, I might not be able to understand it later."

Hearing that Zhao Xiancai still didn't know the reason for their escape, Chen Lantian on the side said speechlessly.

"Zhao Xiancai, you are really only suitable to be that kind of researcher, not a teacher.

If you become a teacher in the future, I think whether you are giving lectures to undergraduates or graduate students, I am afraid not many will be able to understand you after a class."

The deputy team leader Li Qiusheng on the side also said with a smile.

"That won't happen. When I lectured to the students in our class before, they all understood it.

There was a girl in our class who was ranked at the bottom like me when she first started school last year, just a little bit ahead of me.

But after a period of patient guidance from me, her grades in our class are now stable among the top ten."

Zhao Xiancai explained.

"ah?

That shouldn't be the case. You can explain it clearly to them, but why can't you always explain it to us?

Is it possible that those students in your class are better than us?

Your class already has a pervert like you, it’s impossible for there to be so many more perverts, the probability is too low."

After listening to Zhao Xiancai's explanation, Zhou Wen also asked curiously.

"The main thing is that when I'm with you, the way I talk about topics is different from when I'm with them.

If some things are not explained in detail and stripped down, they will not be able to understand them.

But you are different. You can understand many things without me having to explain them to you, so sometimes I don’t waste time telling you things that don’t need to be explained to you, because I think you should all understand.

But who knows, only Gao Pei can understand them all, and the rest of you have different things that you don’t understand."

Zhao Xiancai explained for himself again.

"Oh...that's it, that's what I'm saying.

So you overestimate us...Why do I feel like I'm a weakling?"

Chen Lantian said.

This time, the others did understand, but it would be better not to understand.

"It also depends on who you are competing with. Of course you will feel like a weakling when you compete with him. We have been training together for such a long time, and you still don't know what kind of pervert he is?

Don’t worry, when this imo is over, after you separate from him, and return to the crowd of ordinary people, you will be able to regain your confidence."

Huang Yiming on the side comforted Chen Lantian.

The current mathematical abilities of these six people can be roughly divided into three levels.

The first grade is naturally Zhao Xiancai and Gao Peicai.

The second level is Zhou Wen and Qi Ruilin who are slightly worse than Zhao Xiancai and Gao Peicai.

The third level is Huang Yiming and Chen Lantian.

Huang Yiming and Chen Lantian often felt unconfident because they couldn't keep up with Zhao Xiancai's pace, so they hugged each other to warm each other and comfort each other.

After they finished chatting, they began to listen to the chats of the people around them, and they had to sigh that English is indeed the most widely used language in the world, and many people around them are speaking English.

Although the original empire on which the sun never set has now almost become an empire on which the sun is about to set, over the past two centuries, the British Empire and the United States of America have successively served as world hegemons, forming ruling areas, spheres of influence, and their political, economic, and military

The influence on the world has made this West Germanic language, which was first used in medieval England, enjoy unique prestige in the world today.

Although contestants from other countries on the stage are still coming on and off the stage, the audience has already started chatting.

They not only chatted with players from their own team, but also chatted with players from other countries and regions.

And the content of their chats was also varied.

Although some players are not from the same country, they have all participated in previous IMOs and have known each other as early as the previous IMO or even the previous IMO.

Therefore, the content of their chats was all interesting or worthy of ridicule that happened around them during the year.

Even though it was the first time for some contestants to meet, they were still able to talk eloquently when talking about various political and economic issues, historical developments and other matters.

All of you here are teenagers, and the topic of sex is naturally inevitable. Some even use the number of partners they have talked with as a way to show off. I really don’t know if they are here to participate in the competition or what they are here for.

of.

"Why do we feel like we are a little out of place here? Aren't they here to participate in the math competition? Why do we feel that some people are here to attend a party?"

"I just feel that their spoken English is very good."

"Perhaps many of the people you hear here who speak very good English, English is their official language?"

"This thing must be related to environmental factors. It would be nice to talk more about it."

…

After the opening ceremony and dinner, Zhao Xiancai and the others returned to their residence.

The exam is about to start tomorrow. You must have a good rest tonight, otherwise it will affect your performance in tomorrow's exam, and there will be no place to cry.

At eight o'clock the next day, the four-and-a-half-hour game officially started.

The venue of this competition is the University of Cape Town, located in the center of Cape Town. The University of Cape Town is one of the top universities in South Africa. Two graduates of the university have won the Nobel Prize. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1979.

Alan Gomack, who won the Bell Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and Alan Kluge, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1982.

Since the six players from the same team were assigned to six different examination rooms to answer questions independently, Zhao Xiancai could not see his teammates in the examination room where he was.

However, he didn't care about it. After the test papers were handed out, he focused all his attention on doing the questions.
