Omnipotent Data

Chapter 11

For the entire afternoon, during the two periods of english class and two periods of physics, Cheng Nuo spent almost all his time examining his special power.

After that morning, Cheng Nuo felt that his special power was not that unimportant.

His eyes could turn everything into data and his brain had a powerful calculation power like a computer.

With the collaboration of his eyes and his brain, he was able to complete many tasks.

For example, if he wanted to go somewhere, his brain would calculate the shortest path based on all the different data.

If his body needed to perform a certain action, his brain was able to calculate the most time-efficient method that involved minimal muscle movement.

Moreover, with the data in his brain, Cheng Nuo felt like he could control his body extremely well.

If he wanted to use 5 newtons of force, he would not use 5.1 newtons.

If he wanted to jump 0.2 meters, he would not jump 0.19 meters.

If he wanted to run at a speed of 10 meters per second, er… Forget it. His special power did not change his physical fitness. He would still take 14 seconds to run 100 meters.

Moreover, Cheng Nuo realized that apart from math, in subjects like physics and chemistry, which involved numbers and data, he could easily solve these problems, no matter how difficult they were. Cheng Nuo only had to look at the problem and the solution would flash across his mind.

That made Cheng Nuo extremely happy. “I am a study god indeed, haha!”

However, his special power did not help in english, chinese language, or biology. That made Cheng Nuo disappointed.

The saying went: “if you know how to do math, physics, and chemistry, you will be undefeatable!” If only these three subjects were the only subjects in the Gaokao…

Sigh, he could only hope that chinese, english, and biology would not be too difficult.

As for math, physics, and chemistry? Hehe, the more difficult, the better!

At this moment, in the office of the math department, Old Man Tang frowned as he looked at an answer sheet.

The name written on the answer sheet was “Cheng Nuo”…



“Cheng Nuo, Old Man Tang is looking for you.” Before the self-study session, the math representative, Jiang Qingqing, returned to the classroom with a thick stack of test papers.

“Why is he looking for me?” Cheng Nuo trembled when he heard Old Man Tang’s name.

Could it be that Old Man Tang had heard about the incident in the cafeteria? However, they had not fought, so Old Man Tang should not be looking for him because of that!

Jiang Qingqing was holding onto the answer sheets from the test they had taken in the morning. As she asked students to help her distribute the answer sheets, she replied to Cheng Nuo, “How would I know? But judging from Old Man Tang’s expression, it shouldn’t be something good. Did you cause trouble again?”

Why would Jiang Qingqing say “again”?

Cheng Nuo was someone who did not commit big mistakes, only small ones. It was not the first time he had been called to Old Man Tang’s office alone.

Cheng Nuo headed to Old Man Tang’s office. Jiang Qingqing looked at him as though he would not return.

Indeed, after Cheng Nuo entered Old Man Tang’s office, he saw Old Man Tang with a straight face.

“Teacher, you are looking for me?” Cheng Nuo had no choice but to face it.

Old Man Tang looked at Cheng Nuo from head to toe with a stern look before giving a sigh.

He took Cheng Nuo’s answer sheet from this morning’s test. The answer sheet was filled with ticks and the mark “150” was extremely eye-catching.

“You did this?”

Cheng Nuo looked at the answer sheet with his name written on it and nodded. “Yes, isn’t my name written on it?”

“I mean, did you do this without cheating?”

As Cheng Nuo’s math teacher for two years, Old Man Tang knew Cheng Nuo’s abilities very well. He was mediocre. However, with Cheng Nuo’s abilities, it was impossible for him to complete the test, much less score full marks.

Therefore, Old Man Tang suspected that Cheng Nuo had cheated. As Cheng Nuo’s math teacher and form teacher, Old Man Tang thought that he should stop Cheng Nuo.

Old Man Tang began to educate Cheng Nuo with good intentions.

“Cheng Nuo, I know your usual performance. I understand that you want to improve, but you cannot cheat. With your results, if you work harder, you can still get into a good university… blah blah blah…”

After 30 minutes, Old Man Tang seemed tired and took a sip of water. Cheng Nuo finally had the opportunity to interrupt him.

“Teacher, you have to believe me. I really did not cheat!”

Cheng Nuo felt indignant.

After Old Man Tang talked for such a long time, Cheng Nuo figured out his intentions. Old Man Tang suspected that Cheng Nuo had cheated because his outstanding performance in this test did not match his usual performance.

Sigh, if he knew it would turn out like this, he would not have done so well on the test. Cheng Nuo should have completed the test with his usual standard!

Old Man Tang became angry when Cheng Nuo refused to admit that he had cheated.

He slammed the table. “You didn’t cheat?! If you didn’t cheat, how did you solve such a difficult problem?! Don’t tell me you suddenly became smart. If that’s the case, then do this problem now.”

Math teachers were excellent at giving difficult math problems. In order to make Cheng Nuo admit it, Old Man Tang gave Cheng Nuo a problem from the IMO1.

The problem was not easy. It was one of the problems from the IMO three years ago.

Apparently, out of a few thousand students, less than 20 students had managed to solve this problem.

“If you are able to solve this problem here, I will believe that you did not cheat!”

“Really?”

“Why would I lie?”

“But when the physical education teacher took leave, you…”

“Shut up. Hurry up and do it.”

Cheng Nuo took the problem from Old Man Tang.

A four-sided three-dimensional figure ABCD had an internal point T. The distance between T and the four sides are TA=a, TB=b, TC=c and TD=d. Find:

1. The biggest volume of ABCD and the conditions to fulfill this.

2. The biggest surface area of ABCD and the conditions to fulfill this.

The problem gave very few and simple conditions.

Cheng Nuo took a look. No clear methods were in his head.

This problem was difficult! He wondered where Old Man Tang had found this problem.

At this moment, Cheng Nuo put all his attention into the problem.

In his mind, countless letters and numbers were being calculated. A clear method was gradually forming in Cheng Nuo’s mind.

Seeing Cheng Nuo frozen on the spot, Old Man Tang thought that he had no idea how to solve the problem.

Therefore, Old Man Tang pointed to an empty seat opposite him and said, “There’s an empty seat there, you can do the problem over there. It is 8:10 AM now. I will give you until 10 AM to solve this problem. Of course, you can give up if you want.”

Seeing how Cheng Nuo wrote and drew on a piece of paper, Old Man Tang smiled and did not look at him anymore. He began to prepare documents for his lessons.

That brat probably would give up before 30 minutes!
