Chapter 54: International Olympiad, unremarkable

The 2012 International Mathematical Olympiad officially opened.
This year's International Mathematical Olympiad was held in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. More than 100 countries sent teams to participate.
On this day, Lu Li and Liu Qin set off together, rushed from Yucheng to Rongcheng, and took a flight to Beijing to gather.
It is worth mentioning that... the road from Yucheng to Rongcheng was driven by Liu Qin's father.
Although Dad Liu was very reluctant, but... couldn't hold back Mother Liu's enthusiasm.
When getting in the car, Dad Liu wanted Liu Qin to sit in the co-driver's seat. Unexpectedly, Mother Liu took it directly and let Lu Li and Liu Qin sit in the back row together.
Dad Liu turned his nose and eyes vertically, and his heart felt unhappy.
"There is no direct domestic flight to Argentina, and a connecting flight is required. It takes more than 30 hours to fly by plane alone."
Lu Li talked to Liu Qin, "By the way, Argentina is in the southern hemisphere, and the season is the opposite of ours. Now...it's late autumn over there. Are you bringing enough clothes?"
"Bring enough! Bring enough!"
Before Liu Qin could answer, Mother Liu smiled and took the conversation, turned her head to Lu Li, smiled and nodded, "Xiao Lu, you are so careful! You care about people very much..."
"Ahem..."
Father Liu coughed violently and interrupted Mother Liu's "nonsense".
Lu Li and Liu Qin looked at each other, the expressions on their faces were a little weird.
Fortunately, after arriving at Rongcheng Airport, Liu Qin's parents did not follow to the capital.
Meet with the Orsay national team in the capital, take a French flight to Paris, and then fly from Paris to Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.
It took three days to reach the destination, counting from the departure from Yucheng.
"Before getting off the plane, we have one more thing to do."
As the plane was about to land, the leader of the Hua Guo Mathematics Team stood up and raised the watch on his hand, "That is... adjust the time! The time difference between Argentina and Beijing time is 11 hours."
The plane landed quickly, and under the leadership of the team leader, Lu Li and his party rushed to the University of Buenos Aires where the test site was located.
Check in and go through the formalities, and then check into the hotel.
Everyone fell asleep as soon as they entered the hotel, with jet lag first.
Rest the next day. On the third day, the International Mathematical Olympiad officially opened.
"Come on! Win!"
After cheering for a while, Lu Li walked out of the hotel and rushed to the examination room.
Substitute student Xu Xian, watching Lu Li walk out of the hotel imposingly, he was secretly disappointed: Why didn't you have a stomachache? Don't worry about your stomach, just catch a cold!
The depressed classmate Xu Xian turned around silently, okay, I can only... lie down and win.
...
University of Buenos Aires.
After arriving at the test room, Lu Li saw that teams from all over the world were waiting for the test.
What surprised Lu Li was that the team holding the Stars and Stripes next to him was clearly the American team, right? Why are they all black eyes and yellow skin at a glance?
"Very surprised?"
The team leader glanced at Lu Li and smiled, "In the International Olympiad, our country has always been in a dominant position. So...it is normal that the U.S. team is all Chinese, isn't it normal?"
"It makes sense!"
Lu Li nodded repeatedly.
Line up to check the verification documents, verify the body, and then...candidates from various countries enter the examination room one after another.
The examination room for this International Olympiad was not the kind of domestic classroom that Lu Li was familiar with, but an empty and huge auditorium.
Lu Li glanced around, thinking that this large examination room might have been an indoor dance hall or something like that.
In the huge examination room, there are dozens of stainless steel long tables, each with a distance of about two meters.
There was a seat label on the table, a stack of manuscript paper, a box of water-based pens, and a set of drawing tools.
For this kind of international competition, you only need to bring your ID and come alone. You don’t need to bring anything else, and you are not allowed to bring it.
The seat label is in Chinese. Comparing the seat number on the "examination admission ticket", Lu Li quickly found his place.
In addition to the candidates, there are several staff members in the examination room.
These staff members assumed camera equipment around the examination room, and recorded the entire examination process without blind spots.
After a bell rang, the invigilators began to distribute test papers.
Each examinee’s test paper is individually packaged and needs to be unsealed. Moreover, candidates of different nationalities have different text on the test paper. The test paper Lu Li got was the Chinese test paper.
During the exam, the invigilator and staff will not communicate with the candidates. Unless the candidate has a personal accident, no one will care about you.
Lu Li unpacked the test paper bag, took out the test paper and spread it out on the table.
Looking at the test paper in front of him, Lu Chengli sighed secretly. After walking step by step, he finally stepped onto the international stage, and was finally about to compete with the world's top scholars.
Who is the best in the world?
Give me someone!
Lu Li took a deep breath and took out a water-based pen.
There are six questions on the test paper, each with 7 points and a total score of 42 points, which is exactly the same as the National Olympiad that Lu Li participated in.
After reading it through, Lu Li remembered every question completely with his memorable ability.
Thinking back in my mind, the ideas for solving the problem swarmed out, unexpectedly... didn't feel the slightest difficulty.
I really benefited a lot during the training period of the national team!
It is no wonder that my country has dominated the Olympic Mathematical Games for decades, and it is no wonder that the status of my country's Olympic Mathematical hegemon is unshakable.
The old professors of the national team played almost all the tricks of Olympiad.
With the painstaking instruction and rigorous training of the experienced old professors, Lu Li has learned a lot of brainstorming ideas for solving problems.
From a novice to an old driver. In the Olympic mathematics, Lu Li can be said to be perfect.
Pao Ding solves cattle with ease.
This test paper for the International Mathematical Olympiad is extremely easy to do. There is a spirit in the writing, the inspiration is gushing, the formulas are calculated one by one, and the derivation is one by one, as if the clouds are flowing, smooth and free.
This is the difference between an old driver and a novice.
Without him! Only hands familiar!
Have done countless questions, UU reading www. uukanshu.com has seen countless kinds of problem types and learned countless kinds of brainstorming ideas for solving problems. Thousands of gestures... Oh knowledge, all in your heart.
After an exam, there was a hearty joy!
As far as the tip of the pen is concerned, one problem after another is solved. Wherever I thought, inspiration burst out.
After Lu Li finished all the questions, he raised his eyes to the electronic clock in front of the examination room, and the time was only half past.
In fact, there is plenty of time for the International Mathematical Olympiad. There is almost no time left if it cannot be done.
As soon as the bell rang, the examinations for the International Mathematical Olympiad officially ended.
Students from all over the world have left the field. Lu Li also followed the team and left the examination room. Along the way, there was no communication between the candidates, only silent silence.
Turning to look at the examination room behind him, a smile appeared on Lu Li's face.
The International Mathematical Olympiad is over!
