Chapter 224: Chapter 180: The Student Who Finished the College Entrance Examination Early_4

Being good at math doesn’t necessarily mean being fast at taking the College Entrance Examination.

Even the world’s top mathematicians might not get a perfect score or be faster than high school whiz kids when taking the College Entrance Examination, mainly because the targeted knowledge points and problems are different. Being good at math means having a wide range of knowledge and strong analytical and problem-solving skills. High school math includes only certain knowledge points, and doing out-of-syllabus problems would result in lost points, and difficult problems can be quite convoluted.

Forty minutes?

Completing the exam in just over an hour would already make you a whiz kid.

After suppressing their astonishment, the proctor specifically reminded Zhao Yi, "You can only hand in your paper after an hour!"

"Okay!"

Zhao Yi nodded.

Although the conversation was not loud, the surrounding people still heard it, and other students looked over in astonishment.

Done already?

This is terrifying!

Finally, after an hour had passed, Zhao Yi slapped his paper onto the desk and walked straight out of the classroom and out of the school gate with a leisurely pace.

Many people gathered outside the school gate.

Among them were parents, teachers, and journalists covering the College Entrance Examination. They were all surprised to see someone coming out of the school–

"Coming out so soon?"

"It’s been just an hour! Those who come out now must be bad students!"

"Maybe they gave up..." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

After Zhao Yi left the school gate, the conversation changed immediately–

"It’s Zhao Yi!"

"What Zhao Yi?"

"Zhao Yi from No. 13 High School, the genius high school student, the youngest 18-year-old mathematician!"

"The one who solved some kind of conjecture?"

"That’s him!"

"Let’s go ask him..."

Whooosh.

A crowd of people surrounded Zhao Yi, and journalists were the fastest among them.

"Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi, you handed in your paper after just an hour, did you complete it all?"

"I finished."

"How was the difficulty of the questions?"

Zhao Yi hesitated and said, "Not too bad, I guess. They shouldn’t be difficult."

He wasn’t quite sure.

For most of the questions, he knew the answer after just a glance and didn’t even need to spend any energy points.

Difficult, not difficult?

He didn’t know!

Zhao Yi answered a few questions, pushed through the crowd, and rode away, leaving them amazed, "As expected of Zhao Yi, he’s so quick at solving problems!"

"My child goes to No. 13 High School, and he said Zhao Yi always gets a perfect score in math!"

"So fast and still a perfect score?"

"What’s so amazing about a perfect score in the College Entrance Examination? Zhao Yi gets a perfect score in the Mathematical Olympiad, let alone solving some mathematical conjecture. His math level is even better than college professors!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

"I wish my son could be like this..."

That day.

When Zhengyang TV Station reported on the College Entrance Examination, Zhao Yi’s leisurely figure appeared in several shots, and even his words were included in the report.

Very quickly.

News appeared online.

Zhao Yi’s early submission of the College Entrance Examination was not a big deal for the local TV station, but his words were unanimously ridiculed by Zhengyang exam takers.

"Zhao Yi said the math questions weren’t difficult? What a joke!"

"I usually score around 140, and this time I’ll be happy to get 120!"

"It’s so hard! Out of the six big questions, I only solved two, and I couldn’t complete the rest!"

"I even got the proof question wrong!"

"It just goes to show that the difficulty of the questions is relative. As a great mathematician, participating in the College Entrance Examination is unfair to all the other candidates..."

...

The College Entrance Examination is truly a nationwide event.

Although it’s an exam only for high school seniors, many people, like those in the computer technology exchange group, are concerned about it.

Of course, those taking the College Entrance Examination in the group knew about Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi’s early submission attracted online attention, and he naturally became the object of ridicule.

"Zhao Yi said the test was not difficult!"

"I feel like this is the biggest joke of the year!"

"It’ll become a catchphrase..."

"Maybe by the time of the Spring Festival Gala, it’ll be mentioned by the host!"

"@Zhao Yi, share your thoughts!"

Zhao Yi looked at the messages in the chat group and really didn’t want to talk.

The next morning was the comprehensive science exam. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Zhao Yi’s problem-solving speed was still very fast. Since he had mastered all the knowledge points, and after using Study Coin to improve his concentration, he was essentially copying the answers. Most of the questions were completed with just a glance, and even the calculation problems in physics and chemistry got the same treatment.

This time it took him fifty minutes.

There were slightly more comprehensive science questions, but most of them ended after reading the question. Zhao Yi wrote the answers stroke by stroke, with more time expended on writing neatly.

At the one-hour mark, Zhao Yi submitted his paper early again.

This time, the crowd was even more shocked when they saw Zhao Yi come out. It was understandable to solve math problems quickly, but Zhao Yi hadn’t shown any particular talent in physics, chemistry, or biology. How could he hand in the paper after just an hour?

This was a comprehensive science exam!

The exam time was two and a half hours, and the questions were more difficult, making it challenging to even complete all the questions.

Zhao Yi was surrounded once again.

This time, however, he had experience.

When asked about the difficulty of the questions yesterday, he had said ’not too bad,’ which had been interpreted as ’simple.’

So, when asked this time about the difficulty, Zhao Yi simply said, "It’s a bit difficult, some of the questions I thought about for quite a while!"

"Did you finish the exam then?"

"Of course, I wouldn’t have come out if I hadn’t finished!"

A questioning journalist retorted, "You finished all the questions in just an hour, how can you say the questions were difficult?"

Zhao Yi stood there with his mouth open for a long time, completely dumbfounded, not knowing how to refute.

He thought what he said made sense!

Yeah!

How can you say ’it’s difficult’ when you finish all the questions in an hour?

So...

No matter what, the questions were simple!

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, gave the reporter a thumbs-up sign, and then pushed through the crowd and left. He decided not to take interviews in the afternoon.

It was just too hurtful!
