Chapter 361: First Place
Jian Ai had checked each question three times, so she naturally remembered the answers clearly and immediately told the two of them.
Among them, Gao Yang had the same answer as Jian Ai for one question, but the remaining two were different.
Lin Yi was the worst. Not only did he not have the same answer as Gao Yang for any question, but he also did not have the same answer as Jian Ai.
“Oh my, did I get all three questions wrong?” Lin Yi was frightened.
There were fifty-six points for the three questions. If all of them were wrong, he would stand no chance at all.
Jian Ai smiled. “Don’t think in such a manner. You might be the only one who answered the remaining two questions correctly.”
Lin Yi’s heart had already turned cold. Hence Jian Ai’s words didn’t comfort him at all.
In the end, it turned out that Jian Ai’s words were really just to comfort him.
The next morning, Sun Dasheng appeared in class with a rare smile.
“Students, the results of yesterday’s preliminary Mathematical Olympiad are out. Four students from our class signed up. Two of them stood out from over a hundred students and will represent the school in the city’s Mathematical Olympiad!”
After Sun Dasheng finished speaking, the students in the classroom immediately went into an uproar.
Four students signed up, and two were chosen. The probability was as high as fifty percent.
They were indeed the most outstanding top students in the Year One cohort. Humans often fall short with these types of questions in most competitions. The people who were chosen were too powerful!
“Student Jian Yiyi, you scored ninety-two points out of the perfect score of one hundred and twenty points. You’re ranked fourth!” Sun Dasheng said. His gaze landed on Jian Yiyi in the first row, and his eyes were evident with praise. “You got a twenty-point problem sum question and an eight-point fill-in-the-blank question wrong. Overall, you performed very well. I hope you can achieve excellent results in the upcoming competition.”
“She scored over ninety points? That’s amazing, right?”
“When I was in junior high, I took part in the school’s Mathematical Olympiad and scored forty-six points. We are both in Class One. Isn’t the difference too big?”
“Jian Yiyi transferred here and took second place in the monthly examination. She even scored full marks in mathematics. She’s much better than us.”
The teacher’s encouragement and the students’ praise entered Jian Yiyi’s ears. She couldn’t help but sit up straight like an arrogant peacock. She looked at Sun Dasheng with a faint smile and said, “Teacher, I will do my best to win honor for the school and class.”
Sun Dasheng couldn’t help but nod in relief when he heard that. Then, he said, “Student Jian Ai, your final score is one hundred and twelve points. You’re ranked first in the entire school. Everyone, clap and cheer!”
The classroom froze for a moment, and in the next second, there was enthusiastic applause.
One hundred and twelve points!
Xia Qinghuan clapped and smiled at Jian Ai. “Xiao Ai, you’re amazing. You almost scored full marks for such an examination!”
Jian Ai only smiled and was neither arrogant nor rash.
The applause stopped. Sun Dasheng was a little excited, which was rare. He looked at Jian Ai and said, “Jian Ai, you got a fill-in-the-blank question wrong this time. However, I looked at your calculus paper. Your way of solving the problem was right. It’s just that you reversed the two values for the last step. It’s a pity. Otherwise, you might have gotten full marks.”
“However, this result is also very outstanding. Of all the students who signed up, you are the only one who answered all three problem sum questions correctly. It’s rare!”
