Several other members of the national team finally refused to let Zhao Xiancai help them get the contact information of another girl in Ukraine.

However, in the afternoon after the exam ended, Zhao Xiancai and the others met some other contestants.

At that time, I happened to meet the former player of the British team. This time, everyone in their team was together. Zhao Xiancai also saw several Asian faces in the British national team.

Before he could say anything, a player with Asian faces in the British national team came out and wanted to take a photo with Yao Yijun and Li Qiusheng. This player also spoke fluently.

Chinese.

Needless to say, everyone knows that this person must be of Chinese descent.

Either he studied in China and then transferred to the UK, or he has lived in the UK since he was a child, but his parents taught him to speak Chinese since he was a child, otherwise he would not be able to speak Chinese so fluently.

Moreover, from the Chinese spoken by this British player, Zhao Xiancai and the others can also hear a little bit of the Northeast flavor, but they don't know where the Northeast is from.

As for whether the other two were also of Chinese descent, they didn't know about Zhao Xiancai, and they didn't ask them.

What interests Zhao Xiancai and the others even more is that this time they also saw a player who looked particularly young among the players of the British national team.

This player looks so young that he hardly looks like a high school student, or even a junior high school student, more like an elementary school student.

This little contestant looked quite cute. Gao Peicai and Chen Lantian even ran to take a photo with him.

What they don't know is that this young British contestant is quite famous. During the time he came to Cape Town, many people came to take photos with him.

The main reason for this is because he looks so cute.

The Chinese team and the British team didn't chat for long, and soon they went off to play their own games.

After they separated, Huang Yiming said: "

It turns out that they are all competing for silver and gold, and for the gold medal, it’s good if one of the teams can win it.”

"The main reason is that their training and selection are different from ours, and they have fewer people. Look at their national team, there are a total of three Asian faces out of six.

I heard they have a few substitutes, but I don’t know that there are no Asians among the substitutes,” Zhou Wen said.

"Yes, and the British team came to Cape Town in advance a week before the imo report, and then trained with the Australian team according to tradition.

In fact, their training, which is 4.5 hours of exams every morning, is no different from our previous training in China, it’s just that the location is different.”

Li Qiusheng said.

After a brief understanding just now, Zhao Xiancai and the others also knew that the person who took a photo with Yao Yijun and the others was indeed from China, but he went to school in the UK after graduating from junior high school.

As for the age of the young lady, it turns out that he is already fifteen years old. Almost everyone who meets him will ask about his age, but I heard from the players on the British team that he is still quite strong.

…

On the second day after the exam, which was the 10th, the organizer took these contestants on a one-day trip to the Cape Town Peninsula. I have to say that the scenery in Cape Town is really pretty, Zhao Xiancai

They also saw wild South African penguins, antelopes, ostriches and other animals, and also went to the Cape of Good Hope.

It turns out that the Cape of Good Hope means hope.

On the 11th, it was still a trip. This time Zhao Xiancai and the others went to Table Mountain, which they had seen on the plane when they first came here.

However, when they were admiring the scenery on Table Mountain in the morning, they suddenly received a text message from the team leader saying that the results were out.

The test papers of each country are judged by the national team leader, and then they negotiate with the coordinator designated by the organizer. If there are any differences, they are asked to be arbitrated by the main examination committee.

Since Zhao Xiancai and the others received a text message notification from the team leader, it means that this is the final result.

Each question in the IMO exam is worth 7 points, and the full score is 42 points.

The competition has a first prize, which is a gold medal.

The second prize is the silver medal.

Third prize bronze medal.

The ratio of gold, silver and bronze medals is roughly 1:2:3, and the total number of winners cannot exceed half of the participating students.

Later, when all the results come out, it will be time to divide the gold, silver and bronze medals.

The specific announcement of results and awards will have to wait until tomorrow's closing ceremony.

"Zhao Xiancai and Gao Peicai, you two have perfect scores. Although we already had this estimate when we estimated the scores before, it is still a bit surprising to have two perfect scores confirmed now.

I just don’t know how many people will get perfect scores this year.”

When they saw the results sent by the team leader, Huang Yiming said.

Except for Zhao Xiancai and Gao Peicai, Zhou Wen scored 40 points. There was a step in his third question that deducted two points.

Qi Ruilin scored 38 points.

Qi Ruilin's points were also deducted for the third question, mainly because the method he used to solve the third question was too weird. According to the team leader, they have not heard of any teams from other countries using the same method.

method to solve this problem.

His deduction for this question was mainly due to a way of thinking that was easy to take for granted but was actually wrong. When he told Zhao Xiancai and the others how he solved this question, Zhao Xiancai and the others did not notice it.

Problem solving problem.

Even when the team leader and others helped evaluate the score later, they didn't see any problems with his solution to the problem.

This problem was discovered by the people on the presiding committee.

Therefore, this question that could have earned 4 more points was deducted by 4 points and only got 3 points.

As for Chen Lantian and Huang Yiming, both of them scored 30 points.

Their mistakes all appeared in the third and sixth questions. They only got one point for the third and sixth questions, and seven points for the other four questions.

"I thought I could get a few more points for the third question, but unexpectedly I got one point."

"At least it's thirty points, I guess the gold medal is guaranteed.

Anyway, the exams are over, and at our age, we will go to college in the second half of the year. Unlike Gao Peicai and Zhou Wen, we can come again next year if we want.

We will also leave Cape Town and go back the day after tomorrow. Don’t think about this for these two days and just have fun here. Look at the buildings below and the endless sea..."

Here, they overlook the entire city of Cape Town and Table Bay

Although Huang Yiming and Chen Lantian have the same grades, their personalities are quite different. One is more pessimistic and the other is more optimistic.

Afterwards, under the persuasion of others, everyone stopped talking about grades for the time being, and instead went on a good trip.

In the evening, everyone was chatting in the team leader's room. Since the results and gold and silver medal scores had already been announced, they chatted a lot until very late.

The score line for the gold medal this time is 29. As long as the score reaches 29, you can get the gold medal. The score line for the silver medal is 22. The score line for the silver medal is 22. The score line for the bronze medal is 16.

Fortunately, Huang Yiming and Chen Lantian scored one point for the two questions they only scored one point for. Otherwise, they would only have 28 points, and they might not get the gold medal, but only the silver medal.

On the 12th, they went to the aquarium. The aquarium in South Africa was really good, mainly because Zhao Xiancai had never been to other aquariums.
