C1023 Wrong
Not far from the field, there were a lot of students gathered together, and in the middle there was a tall platform that seemed to be very lively.
Xue Xue'er was somewhat curious.
She walked over to take a look and found that it was a mathematics competition that the student union spontaneously created. Even the test questions were discussed by the top students of the mathematics department.
There were also two groups of people participating in the competition. Each group had three people.
"The quality of the questions is not bad."
Xue Xue'er took a look and said in a low voice.
A female university student beside her happened to hear this and smiled kindly at her.
"Of course. This is a question that our professor personally designed. But these Senior Sister changed the variables in the question. The numbers also changed, so the question changed along with it."
So that's how it was.
Xue Xue'er nodded slightly and continued to look at the people who were participating in the competition.
In just a few minutes, the students in the competition had already calculated the answer. They wrote the final result on the small board and raised it up.
The answers of the two groups were the same.
Xue Xue'er frowned slightly when she saw the result, but she did not say anything.
The host had already announced it on the platform.
"The two sets of answers are the same, and both are correct answers. It seems like our mathematical competition will end in a tie."
"No!"
A voice suddenly came from the crowd. It was the female student who had spoken to Xue Xue'er just now.
Her voice was sharp, and many students, including the host, looked at her. The host's gaze was somewhat unfriendly, and he raised his tone.
"This student, what did you say is wrong?"
"The result of your calculations is wrong."
The female student seemed to be a little timid, but she still took a deep breath and mustered up her courage to say: "Both of your groups have overlooked the first variable when calculating. If you calculate it in advance, the result will be one"
Everyone's eyes changed.
The two groups of students received the answer, it was zero.
Should they trust her, or should they trust most people?
The host chose the latter without hesitation.
"Student, I'm sorry. Our mathematics team calculated precisely before the competition. The answer to this question is zero, not one. You calculated wrongly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other people who were watching the competition also started discussing.
"I also calculated it just now. It's zero."
"That's right. I also counted as zero. I think it was because she wanted to show off, so she deliberately made such a noise at the end of the competition to make everyone pay attention to her."
"The people participating in the competition are all top students of the mathematics department. They are publicly recognized as the top few in the cohort. If she is really famous, why can't she participate in the competition?"
"She deliberately drew attention."1
Everyone's voice was not low. This female classmate did not expect that she would be targeted by the crowd. Her face immediately turned red.
"What I said is true. It's one, not zero."
She wanted to go on stage and point at the variable symbol that everyone ignored. She wanted to say it clearly, but the host did not give her the chance. The result was zero.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were not very kind, this female student was very anxious. Her tears also fell.
Why was it that no one believed her?
Seeing her cry and look like she was wronged, Xue Xue'er's heart was moved.
Being criticized by most people, if it was her, she probably would not be able to withstand this kind of pressure.
She had to help.
Someone was still making sarcastic remarks: "Can you make everyone listen to you when you cry? In the world of mathematics, right is right, wrong is wrong. Don't pretend to be pitiful."
"Enough, you're all wrong."
Xue Xue'er could no longer hold it in and went forward to interrupt her. She looked at the female student.
"You have calculated wrongly for this question. The correct answer is one. Pay attention to this symbol."
Xue Xue'er walked onto the high platform and casually circled the first and easiest calculation symbol.
Following her movements, the expressions of the students from the two participating groups became serious.
Two people pointed out the symbols one after another. They were somewhat suspicious of themselves.
Could it be that they really calculated wrongly?
Right at this time, another voice of doubt sounded from the crowd.
"Who are you? I've never seen you before. Why should I believe you?"
