Chapter 1418: Angry to vomit blood
For all the officials standing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it is actually extremely difficult to calculate the problem!
Why?
Because for those of you, this is also a miscellaneous study. In theory, Ye Chunqiu, the top scholar, could not have any research on this.
Even the officials in the Ministry of Revenue in the hall may not dare to say that they are proficient in math! The reason is very simple. They are officials. As long as the officials remember the numbers, they do not need to calculate them. The clerk will be responsible for the math.
This is also why in the Ming Dynasty, if you want to enter this Emperor's Hall, you don't need to study any math, just learn the eight-legged essays well.
The King of Xing and his son put this calculation problem in the third place. Obviously, the difficulty must be super high. Of course, when they were considering using this question, they most likely had never thought that Ye Chunqiu would have such a profound study on miscellaneous studies. But the problem is that Ye Chunqiu loves reading and has insight, but do you really understand calculation?
Well, even if you understand, then... Since King Xing and his son are the ones who are asking questions, they must be foolproof. Then this question must be extremely difficult. You should know without guessing it. For such extremely difficult questions, I am afraid that even those who are proficient in math may not be able to calculate them within one stick of incense.
It is still the same as the first and second questions. It doesn’t seem difficult, but in fact it’s not low.
Ye Chunqiu only smiled, but his smile gave people a sense of calmness and calmness. Everyone held their breath and looked at Ye Chunqiu quietly, and heard Ye Chunqiu say, "I would like to ask the prince to give me a message."
Zhu Hou closed his eyes, obviously losing the pride and relaxation before. He took a deep breath and then said slowly: "This question is Han Xin's ordering troops. According to legend, Han Xin led 1,500 soldiers to fight, four or five hundred people killed in battle, standing in a row of 3 people, with two more people standing in a row; standing in a row of 5 people, with four more people standing in a row; standing in a row of 7 people, with six more people standing in a row. I dare to ask the Duke of Zhenguo, how many soldiers and horses are left in Han Xin."
call.
It is indeed a math problem, but this number problem is very tricky and weird because... it is very difficult.
At least the people standing here were confused again.
Yes, how many people are here?
In fact, if people who have not received math training, they often have a mess of their minds about these dazzling numbers. After all, everyone can enter the temple by relying on the Four Books and Five Classics. Who has really been trained in mathematics?
What's more, in this era, even if you have been trained, you still need to visit famous teachers and study various calculations, so you can achieve a small success. It's not easy to calculate this problem after a few years of infancy.
Of course, this is not the most difficult thing. The most difficult thing here is that this question only has one stick of incense time. One stick of incense time is to calculate a more complex calculation problem, especially at the level of contemporary math, the difficulty is extraordinary.
At this moment, the happy atmosphere disappeared again. When the third incense stick was lit, everyone's expression became solemn.
Zhu Houguan asked the question, then looked at Ye Chunqiu nervously, and thought that Ye Chunqiu might have read other miscellaneous books, but this third question cannot be obtained at will by reading miscellaneous books. Even if Ye Chunqiu has a deep attainment in math, calculations will take time. It is definitely not enough to calculate it in one stick of incense.
Huh, I'm too careful. Ye Chunqiu must not be able to calculate this question in one stick of incense, so I don't have to be afraid!
