Chapter 67 Come on, let me take a break

Su Xiaomu moved the chair when the first balloons for K and M questions and the AC balloons arrived too late to take off.

"I misunderstood question K at the beginning and was given a 60-minute penalty. I should have printed the code and had a look. It's my fault. I'm sorry."

Looking at the time, Su Xiaomu said again.

"It's just four hours away, so it's not a big problem."

Chen Jiming couldn't stand Su Xiaomu's self-blame, and said quickly, "It doesn't matter, the total penalty time is only 100 minutes, we can afford it."

Although he and Shang Siyu didn't look at the K question, no team answered the K question correctly in an hour, which already shows the difficulty of the question.

The rules of the International Collegiate Programming Contest have never required that participating teams answer questions in order, and the style of all teams is to open up whichever question finds an idea.

There are also some topics where the starting balloons were taken away by other strong teams.

At present, Saoke team has 5 starting balloons and 7 AC balloons.

Still quite swaying.

"Come on, let me take a break, take my time, there is enough time, don't worry."

Su Xiaomu made a gesture and hid aside to give up his position.

…………

…………

The clacking of keyboards, the hustle and bustle of urging volunteers to send printed codes, the small beeping of salted fish, the sound of footsteps walking back and forth...

All of this, as if the mute button was suddenly pressed, an atmosphere called absurdity spread.

Even the referees are thinking about the three major philosophical questions of life:

Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?
Yes, even if all the instant results are returned they are watching in the background.

But this does not mean that they can immediately understand the absurd excellence of this feeling.

I answered 1 International College Programming Contest regional competition questions in 7 hour. I didn’t pay attention to whether this achievement has been unlocked by other teams.

But the level and authority of the judges are enough to know the distinction of the competition test questions.

Even if they paddled all the way later, their referees would try their best to award the Sao visitors a gold medal. Of course, they still can't judge whether there are other teams that can answer the three questions: B, C, and K correctly.

At least not now.

In the Qingdao competition that has ended, there are three gold questions and three iron questions, which can well explain the problem of the discrimination of the test questions.

The three members of the Peking University Beta Cats team, currently ranked second, stopped what they were doing and silently gave Su Xiaomu a visual thumbs up.

On the one hand, it is very uncomfortable to play against such a strong team, and you will always feel the imminent pressure.

On the other hand, it is very beneficial. If there is pressure, there will be motivation to continue the liver. If it is not good, the thinking will explode in a small universe.

Almost all the players of more than 200 teams at the scene were thinking about the same question as the referees.

Where am I, who am I, what am I doing?
The most uncomfortable thing is the Northeast Normal University's "You Can You Go" team next to the Sao Ke team.

It was a bit uncomfortable to be seated next to the most attention-grabbing leader of the handsome team. There were stares all over the place, but they were not looking at them.

Beeping softly in my heart, they are all Yangou!

Originally, question A was very exciting after almost seconds. Look, we have balloons.

A whole hour of doubting life afterwards.

MMP, do you want something so strong?

I won’t talk about question B, but is question C human capable? Questions like K questions can also be liver?

In the 'You Can You' team, which was originally focused on participating, the two players other than the main hitter were beeping silently in their hearts.

In the end, even the idea of ​​doubting life is gone, and I have confirmed that the eyes are not on the same level.

A strong team on the other side, Funan Technology's 'Pulse' is different.

They had a lot of thoughts, and found that the Sao Ke team could pick this one, and that one, and they told themselves confidently that we could too.

So there were a total of 13 questions from A to M, and they picked them all.

A bunch of 'Attempted problems' - attempted questions, but fortunately there was no time limit for not submitting or answering correctly, otherwise the time would have been ticking.

"Alas, MMP."

In the end, these were the only words left in my heart.

…………

After Su Xiaomu gave up his seat, Shang Siyu went up first and picked question F, which was considered a moderately difficult question.

After an hour of thinking, Shang Siyu had already perfected his thinking, and went up to give 10 minutes to 1Y.

In comparison, the audience was at an upper-middle level, and the keyboard was the main fault. The keyboard didn't listen to her at all.

irritating!

When Su Xiaomu was resting at the side, he did not forget to cheer Shang Siyu up.

"Not bad, come on!"

Shang Siyu was not so sure about the next question, so he gave up his position to Chen Jiming who was eager to try.

After 50 minutes of careful 1Y, I passed the I question, the difficulty was above average, there was no WA, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Just over 2 hours have passed since the competition, and more than half of the teams are still in the 3 and 4 questions area.

The Sao team ranked first with 9 correct answers and a total of 220 minutes including penalty time.

As Su Xiaomu said, there is no one who can fight!
Beta Cats of Peking University, Northwestern Polytechnical University's 'NPU_Hawaii Guitar' and other strong teams, which were inspired by the Sao Ke team, worked hard to improve. One passed 7 questions and the other passed 6 questions.

Not so ugly.

Of course, the total time with penalty time is a little ugly.

One took more than 400 minutes, and the other took more than 450 minutes.

Chen Jiming gnawed at the remaining J and L, and Shang Siyu went up to answer the E question.

The two of them cooperated according to the division of labor they are good at, and fully felt the tension, stimulation, excitement, excitement, joy and so on of the regional competition.

When Shang Siyu was opening the E question, Su Xiaomu went to pick up the lunch and took full charge of the logistics.

I heard that the entire canteen of Xida University smells like snail noodles, but the burgers provided are a little bit of warmth for the teams who came to the 'Antarctic' competition.

"Classmate Shang, Classmate Chen, the burgers at Western University are pretty good, give it a try."

Su Xiaomu offered a hamburger to Shang Siyu, who was cracking his liver, and a hamburger to Chen Jiming, who was pulling his hair.

Shang Siyu took the hamburger, put his hands together and ate it in small bites, stars appeared in his eyes, this was the first time he felt that Su Xiaomu seemed to want Max's boyfriend power, but unfortunately it wasn't me!

Chen Jiming is self-sufficient and has no complaints.

…………

Su Xiaomu who was paddling in the salted fish discovered a rather interesting thing.

A certain team of a certain university of science and technology has always had 0 questions, which makes Mengxin Su very curious.

It wasn't until after the competition that Su Xiaomu retrieved the stored mobile phone that he found the relevant answer on a certain site.

An anonymous member of a participating team from a university of science and technology gave a strong answer about how to evaluate the ICPC Nanning live match.

"Let me give a different answer. Let's put it this way, this year there are two teams with A and 0 questions, and one of them is my team..."

"Woke up at noon today. After struggling with which foreign currency to order, I saw a bunch of people in the group discussing the competition. As a melon-eating crowd, I was also upset.

When the final ranking came out in the afternoon, I found that the name of the last team looked familiar.

Then I confirmed that it was indeed our team..."

Broken bowl and broken basin.

PS: I can't write about the tense atmosphere, I'm too rushed, sorry.
