Things about living in Marvel

Chapter 9 A game

"It's boring." Colt lay on the bed doing nothing.

"Huh? What is this?" He accidentally scanned an advertisement.

"Are you smart enough? Come and try to solve this puzzle that only the smartest can solve, and the winner will get a grand prize of $[-]."

"There are all kinds of gimmicks." Colt thought to himself, "Which of the smartest people will come to participate in this $[-] competition?"

However, despite thinking this way, Colt still clicked on the advertisement.

The web page of the competition is very simple, with only four sets of physics equations in it.

"Although it's not the kind of answer that can be seen at a glance, it's not too difficult, right?" A question of this difficulty is not worthy of the title of the promotion.

"Sure enough." After seeing that he had filled in the answers on the webpage, the prompt "Sorry, someone has already completed the question first" was displayed on the webpage, and the time when each set of equations were solved was displayed, Colt No surprise.

"But in this way, it's not so much a competition of intelligence as it is a quick-answer question of network speed and luck." Colt felt a little bored, closed the webpage and prepared to go downstairs to take a shower.

……

late at night.

Colt suddenly sprang up from the bed.

"No!" He seemed to realize something suddenly, hurriedly turned on the light and walked to the computer desk, and entered the website of the competition again.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much." He recorded the solution time of each set of equations.

"I remember the previous equation..." He hurriedly found the draft he had calculated before.

"Though it's not unphysical at all," he thought, throwing the recorded moment back into the equation roughly as time.

"In this way, remove the part that originally made the equation independent of time..."

A new answer has been solved.

"Then reassemble the previously removed parts..."

Another new answer.

After a moment of hesitation, Colt retyped the answer.

The next moment, the webpage changed.

"Congratulations on passing the selection."

The ensuing topic turned into a dizzyingly complex equation.

At the same time, there is a paragraph next to it.

"Don't worry, what you saw this time is true."

"Is that really the case?" Colt continued to be puzzled, "If you can simply use complex equations to rule it out, why use the previous method that was almost a joke as an exam question? This kind of brain teaser Doesn't the test seem a bit inferior?"

Trying to solve the new equations, the complexity of which made Colt feel dizzy for a while.

"Forget it, go to bed first, this can't be calculated in a short time." Colt shook his head and laughed at himself, "If someone can solve it while I'm sleeping, I'll admit defeat."

Anyway, it was just to pass the time, and never thought of getting a bonus. After verifying his idea, Colt lay back on the bed calmly.

……

the next day.

After spending the whole morning, Colt finally finished the calculation.

"It can be said to be quite a complicated calculation process..." Even though I borrowed a lot of calculation tools and programs, I still wrote a lot of drafts.

"It seems to be a coordinate?" Colt picked up the phone, opened the map software, and entered the coordinates.

It turned out to be a bank in Manhattan.

"What does this mean? Go directly to receive the award?" Colt was puzzled, "Or do you have to go to the bank to find out the next question?"

After hearing his mother calling for lunch, Colt put aside his thoughts for a while, walked out of the room and went downstairs.

……

"The following is a breaking news."

Colt looked up at the TV, and the sitcom his mother was watching was interrupted by an urgent news item.

"Currently, the bank in Manhattan is being robbed by AIM." The reporter stood outside the isolation area, and the camera could clearly see various explosions caused by the police and AIM members in yellow uniforms.

"Ah!" There was a scream from the onlookers, and Mordoke raised an unmanned police car with his own mind, and smashed it heavily on the ground, causing an explosion, and the police officers who were dispersed by the explosion flames were powerless to step forward We can only watch AIM agents leave smoothly under the leadership of Mordoke.

"At times like this, we can't help but ask, where are the Avengers who were supposed to protect us? Where are the Fantastic Four?" Immediately afterwards, there was a long series of criticisms of superheroes.

"Have they all been interns at the Daily Bugle?" Colt complained secretly. The boss of the Daily Bugle, known as JJJ, has been raving about Spider-Man for more than ten years. Perhaps it has inspired a generation of reporters. The new generation of reporters seems to be He is more enthusiastic about picking on superheroes than his predecessors.

After eating, Colt returned to his room and reopened the webpage. Before he could enter the state of thinking, he discovered an amazing fact.

The bank that was robbed just now is the answer in the question!

……

"Damn it!" As soon as he got out of the United Nations building and walked into his luxury sports car, Tony Stark saw the reporter's criticism of the Avengers at the scene of the bank robbery from the car TV, "I will go to the United Nations and the gang The idiots have been arguing for less than half an hour, and New York has turned upside down? Is there no one who can show up?"

"Sir, I'm sorry, all the Avengers are busy or not in New York at the moment. Captain America and Falcon are attending a children's charity event in Washington, Mr. Banner and his team are tracking down the big boss, Thor has returned to Asgard, Mr. Pym's family has been invited by Black Panther to Wakanda to conduct a new research project on Vibranium..." Jarvis's respectful voice came from the car speaker
"Okay, okay, I see." Tony interrupted Jarvis's report, he rubbed his brows, "Let's go to the bank now, and then help me arrange a press conference. Hope we can figure out that Why would a big head want to rob a normal bank, or let me know that that bank doesn't have a weapon in its safe that can blow up half Manhattan."

"Sir, you can go directly to hold a press conference. Mr. Banner has dispatched people to investigate immediately." Jarvis replied.

"Then go hold a press conference." Tony leaned back in the chair, "Jarvis, autopilot."

"Sir, the current traffic laws have not passed the legalization of autonomous driving. Although I can understand that you are getting older and not as energetic as before, but considering your health, I still suggest that you do not sleep in the car... ..."

"Shut up!" Tony yelled angrily, "I'm not old enough to let you control me, and I don't seem to have set up this kind of program for you!"

"This is a new agreement that Miss Morgan added in the latest update." Jarvis replied without haste.

Tony took a deep breath: "Okay, okay, I will drive myself!"
