Maybe it was because there was no hope cup in his previous life. Hao Yun felt his conscience and said that he really didn't feel much about the cup. He even decided to sign up at the beginning under the inducement of President Li Guoping.

However

He always felt that he had been misunderstood.

After the interview, Hao Yun always felt that something was wrong, so he explained what he thought to President Li Guoping, hoping that he could help clarify with the people in the TV station.

However, he didn't expect that the old man didn't intend to listen at all. He comforted him and said.

"Don't worry too much. It's not a big problem. Besides, I think what you said is quite right when I look back. It's just a cup of hope. It really doesn't need to be taken seriously. It's not something that can be done with hands? There are many talented people in Jiangda. We should be straight when we walk outside. We can't be looked down upon by the young men of Xiake university nearby! "

"What does this have to do with the university?" Hao Yun said with tears and laughter.

"What does it matter? Ah, "Premier Li Guoping snorted coldly, his tone was not salty, but he could not hide the pleasure of revenge." when they won the championship last year, they didn't forget to run us. "

good heavens.

Another Scorpio.

Hao Yun sighed bitterly in his heart and decided not to worry about it any more

……

Hope the week after the cup final.

Shanghai City, conference room of Xiadong Normal University.

The meeting of the expert group has reached the third round.

Yang Fengting, academician of Computer Science Academy of Xiadong Normal University, has made new progress in his research.

"It's a very interesting phenomenon. A few days ago, I tried the square root reciprocal algorithm through the supercomputer by using the traversal method. As a result, after 140 million operations, the best value is 0x5f37642f."

"I thought that this result would be closer to the accuracy than the" magic number "proposed by No. 101 contestant. But the result of Newton iterative algorithm was beyond my expectation... The accuracy of the result I got through supercomputing traversal was a little bit worse?"

Speaking of this, academician Yang Fengting said in a low voice with a ghost on his face.

"Although this situation is not completely impossible, after all, the possibility we face is infinite. But in an hour, he found a more reliable hexadecimal number than supercomputing... If it's a coincidence, it's too damned. "

It would be more damned if it wasn't a coincidence, but at least it would be more convincing.

Another number theory expert, Professor Jia Yuxin, from Xia Guo Institute of mathematics, suddenly said.

“0x5f37642f？ Wait a minute, I've got the same result as you, but I'm not using super calculation, I'm using linear approximation to get the optimal value... Pure mathematical method. "

Academician Yang Fengting: "pure mathematical method?"

"That's right," Professor Jia Yuxin said with a bitter smile and the same expression of seeing ghosts. "In theory, my method should be very reliable, although there are still many things that are difficult to explain. After that, I brought 0x5f37642f into the algorithm. However, no matter how Newton's iterative algorithm was executed, the result of getting the exact value was a little worse than that of "magic number"... I was very surprised at that time. "

"Can I see the process?" Academician Zhan Yongshu asked in a hurry.

Although he is not a professional mathematical expert, information engineering also needs mathematical foundation after all, and there is no problem to understand it.

Professor Jia Yuxin nodded, took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to the assistant who had a meeting with him, indicating that he would send them.

"Of course, I'm going to send you my research results! I can say for sure that these results are very interesting... I forgot to eat dinner yesterday. "

When he got a stack of paper, Professor Zhang cunhao could not help saying that he had just seen the heading before he could see the specific content.

"... is the original constant derived mathematically or by trial and error? What's this? "

"Of course, it's the title of the paper. By the way, it's my latest paper..." speaking of this, Professor Jia Yuxin continued with a shy smile, "of course, it hasn't been published, just for you to see."

After all, the results of the competition have not yet come out, and the papers written based on the unpublished results are obviously not suitable for publication, otherwise it will be plagiarism.

However, if it is not published in public, it is still no problem to circulate it in private within the scope of the informed person.

As for why we wrote this paper in advance and brought it to this conference table, on the one hand, we can't help itching to see this interesting topic, on the other hand, we are afraid that these colleagues will take the lead.

Sure enough, he got at least three winks in the middle of his speech.

However, after seeing these three white eyes, Professor Jia with a smiling face was relieved.

Academician Zhan Yongshu didn't think so much. At his age and status, he didn't need to publish papers to maintain his academic status. That's why he shifted his focus to education in the past two years.

After reading the paper, academician Zhan frowned and continued.

"It's really interesting... Although there's still no explanation of how this figure came about."

Experts at the conference table also nodded.

Is the original constant derived mathematically or by trial and error?

Professor Jia Yuxin's paper is at most thrown out a lead, as the beginning of a research topic is good, but far from the end.

"Three rounds of meetings have no results. I'm afraid this problem can hardly be solved in a short time," academician Yang Fengting sighed after reading the paper. "Unless the results of the competition are made public to the academic community, and then discussed by many scholars."

Hearing this, academician Zhan Yongshu nodded with approval.

Indeed, as academician Yang said, the most learned minds in the field of mathematics and informatics gathered in this conference room. Although they are not necessarily the smartest, they must be experienced.

However, even so, after three rounds of meetings, they did not find a suitable explanation to explain how the figure was calculated, which only shows that this problem should not be discussed in the conference room, but should be repeatedly pondered in the laboratory.

I believe that as long as they have enough time, they will find the answer.

"I agree with Academician Yang that this is the end of the seminar on 0x5f375a86."

After a pause, academician Zhan Yongshu stood up and continued in a serious tone.

"Gentlemen, we must now consider a more serious issue."

"That's about the winner of this year's hope cup."

It has been a week since the competition, and all the works have been reviewed by the main examination committee

Now, even if there is a dispute, the focus of the dispute is on how the number came from, rather than the value of the magic number itself.

The meeting room was quiet for a while.

"I will vote for No. 101. Whether it's subjective or objective, the answers he submitted are excellent."

"Seconded! Although his answer is very simple, the art of informatics is to simplify and spread complex problems. "

"I also agree with this view. At least so far, I have not seen any more impressive works than this number."

Professor Zhang cunhao did not speak and seemed to be hesitating about his choice.

Academician Yang Fengting didn't express any opinions either. He seemed to think that there was no need to discuss this issue at all. He just wrote his choice on the voting card, and then got up and left the conference room.

Looking at the situation in the conference room, academician Zhan Yongshu nodded with a smile.

"It seems that there is an unexpected agreement."

There seems to be no suspense about the title, and that's what he expected.

The hope cup has been held for so many times, and he has been the chief examiner for so many years. This is the first time that he has seen the answer that makes the whole chief examiner helpless.

If such an answer is not worthy of the glory of the champion.

That's a loss of hope!
