Chapter 340: Arrive in Seattle

Chapter 340
After staying in school until the twenty-fifth of the twelfth lunar month, he bid farewell to Professor Fang and Cheng Nuo boarded the plane home alone.
Let my mind go empty, what BSD conjectures, mental abacus contests, and Meisai are all left behind.
This is probably the only few days in the next year where you can put your body and mind to rest and be free from foreign affairs, so Cheng Nuo cherishes it very much.
Eat, drink and have fun, enjoy his last happy time.
On New Year's Eve, I watched the Spring Festival Gala that was completely unconventional, and then ushered in the New Year with a lot of New Year greetings from family and friends.
After that, the process of walking with relatives and the relatives who were taken away.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Cheng Nuo boarded a plane back to Kyoto.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, after a day's rest, he and Hong Zhong and his nine other members of the national quick-calculation team boarded a plane to Seattle in the United States to compete in this session of the World Abacus Mental Arithmetic Competition.
The other nine players are almost the same as Cheng Nuo imagined. Although there are males and females, they are still young... how to say it!
When Hong Zhong introduced herself to the other team members, a little girl raised her head and greeted Cheng Nuo kindly, "Hello Uncle Cheng!"
Cheng Nuo had a black line at the time, but An Nuo, who had known Cheng Nuo a long time ago, giggled.
…………
It is February, and Seattle is worthy of being a famous tourist city, with a pleasant climate, which is naturally much warmer than Kyoto.
A group of eleven people got off the plane and checked into a hotel near the competition venue.
Of course, this hotel is the host, which is the residence provided by the World Abacus Mental Arithmetic Federation to all participants.
Therefore, as soon as you entered the lobby of the hotel, you could see many foreigners in different clothes, speaking different languages, and a few of them gathered together and chatted about something.
However, when Cheng Nuo and his party stepped into the hotel's door, they all stopped the discussion.
Hua Guo team!
Whether it was appearance or clothing, they recognized it at a glance, this was the Hua Guo team from that mysterious East!
Especially Hong Zhong, he has led the Hua Guo team to participate in this game for five years. Few national team leaders say they don't know Hong Zhong.
After all, they have ruled this field for nine years!
It's like the dominance of China's table tennis in the international table tennis world, even before it.
At this time, most of the team leaders from various countries gathered in the lobby. They looked at the players behind Hong Zhong with a jealous and cautious look.
Ok?
Many people tilt their heads and wonder.
Because they discovered that none of the three Chinese young girls who shined in the World Abacus Mental Arithmetic Contest last year appeared in the Chinese national team!
It shouldn't!
Most of the leaders present participated in the World Abacus Mental Arithmetic Contest in the past year. Last year, the Hua Guo team had three little girls who were only about ten years old, who created a crushing level in the competition stage!
Well, although they have always been crushed by China on this project!
But their kind of crushing is different, it is a kind of crushing that makes people feel desperate, and can not raise any resistance to the crush!
Logically speaking, the three players are all in the golden age of the game, and they are bound to participate this year.
However, they did not find the three impressive figures among the players behind Hong Zhong. Instead, they saw an alien!
Well, that's right, the anomaly in their mouth is Cheng Nuo!
Players who seem to be in their twenties at this age are indeed...uncommon!
If it is not stipulated that the number of participants in each country is ten, they almost all doubt whether this "elderly player" is a small follower brought by Coach Hong!
But having said that, the Hua Guo team is such a strict team, how did this guy get in!
Could it be by "relationships", they have heard that in that mysterious country in China, "relationships" can handle everything.
However, I don’t know what Coach Hong’s mood will be!
They are also very excited in their hearts while asking for the psychological shadow of coach Hong.
The three "big devil" players of the Hua Guo team are absent, plus the burden caused by an "old player". This time, they may really break the monopoly of China in quick calculation projects.
On the other hand, Cheng Nuo naturally felt that many foreigners were looking at him. Although some languages ​​were not understood, they could know their attitude towards themselves from their looks and expressions.
Age is still bad!
When doing academic research, others thought that Cheng Nuo was too young.
But when it comes to the quick break contest, you become too old!
What can Cheng Nuo do? Is he also desperate?
The only thing I can do, I'm afraid I will take the results to speak!
However, pretending to be coercive in front of a group of younger siblings, even nephews and nieces, is simply unmotivated!
Even these children are recognized as "genius children"!
…………
On February 11, the 20th World Abacus Mental Arithmetic Contest was held in a high school in Seattle, USA.
The total duration of the contest is two days.
One day is used for contestants and the other day is used for scoring and awarding prizes.
The competition is divided into team competition and individual competition.
The format of the competition is written answers, that is, it is no different from exams, except that the questions are all types of calculation questions.
Individual ranking is determined by individual performance.
The ranking of the team competition is determined by the addition of the results of ten players from each country.
The game lasts for two hours.
Reminders include basic questions and additional questions. There are a total of 100 basic questions, including three types of mixed operations of addition and subtraction, multiplication of large digits, and division of large digits. Each question has a different point value according to the difficulty, with a total score of 500 points.
The additional questions only include large-digit multiplication and large-digit division, and the difficulty of each question is higher than that of the basic questions.
For example, in the basic question, the maximum number of large-digit multiplications will only be eight digits by eight digits. The simplest large-digit multiplication in the additional questions ~ EbookFREE.me~ will be eight digits by nine digits .
Moreover, each item in the additional questions has a fixed value, only 1 point! Compared with the seven or eight points in the basic questions, the cost performance is very low.
But if you want to get as high as possible, additional questions must be done, and the more correct the better. Because in terms of basic questions, it is almost difficult for a group of contestants to open the gap.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the game started.
After the start of the competition, the examiner will only issue test papers for the first part of the basic questions. After the basic questions have been answered and the results submitted, the test papers for additional questions can be received one by one.
There are fifty questions on each additional question paper. After you have written all of them and submitted them, you can receive the next one, and so on.
Historically, the personal highest scores in quick calculation contests were created by Chinese players.
That was 2010. Chinese player Li He created a personal record of 1052 points, and no one has broken it so far!
