At the same time.
The relatively calm Weibo was suddenly stirred up by an arithmetic question!
A verified teacher of No. 2 Experimental Primary School posted a question. It was an elementary math question. "Who can answer it? Everyone, come and give it a try! "
At the beginning, no one took it to heart. Seeing such provocation, they only subconsciously took a peek and thought to themselves, how difficult could elementary math questions be? Middle school math questions were nothing to them. Who hadn't attended primary school before? Hence, some people started answering the question. But when they seriously analyzed the question and prepared to answer it, they realized that it was not what they had imagined!
"Damn! Damn! Damn! "
"What kind of math question is this?"
"Music?"
"Is this elementary math?"
"Who can tell me what this question means?"
"Is the answer to the first question 1 times 3? Is it wrong? F * * k, then I don't know. "
"Are primary school students these days trying to defy the heavens? It's impossible to answer such a question! Which wicked teacher came up with such a wicked question? "
"Pfft, I've already given up!"
"I've also given up. I'm getting a headache!"
Following that, the teacher from No. 2 Experimental Primary School spoke again, "Just a note, this elementary math question was set today by the famous Chinese mathematician, Professor Zhang Ye. Just to give you a blow, this question was answered by dozens of second grade students in our school's second grade experimental class. The children's answer accuracy was 93.2%. In the entire class, there were only two people who got it wrong, while the other dozens of people got it right!"
With this, Weibo was getting lively!
"What? The question was set by Zhang Ye? "
"Is this really elementary math?"
"Since it's Zhang Ye's work, this question is definitely not that simple."
"Do I need you to say that? Would a world-class mathematician come up with an elementary math question? There must be layers upon layers of mysteries behind it. I'm interested now. Watch me solve it! "
"The accuracy of elementary school students is above 90%? I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death! I don't even know what this question means! Elementary school students can't possibly solve it! Even the most outstanding students in a key experimental primary school can't possibly be smarter than adults, right? "
"Watch me!"
"Let me try too!"
"I'll definitely solve it. Let me think..."
"I don't believe it!"
Gradually, the netizens' answers came one after another, each more bizarre than the last!
Suddenly, some famous people, such as Zhang Ye's friends, also showed themselves.
Yao Jiancai posted: "What kind of crappy question is Little Zhang coming up with!"
Peking University teacher Su Na: "Furious! Flips table! I should focus on teaching my Chinese. The world of mathematics is too scary. "
Beijing Television's Xiao Lu: "Pfft, this question is really funny. Ding ding ding ding? Ding Ding Ding? But this is indeed Teacher Zhang Ye's style! "
In the end, the teacher of No. 2 Experimental Primary School announced the correct answers. Needless to say, there were indeed a few netizens who got it right, but the remaining thousands of people either got it wrong or couldn't answer it. This ratio of correct answers was simply unbelievable. Could it be that the children in the experimental class who got it right over 90% of the time were all freaking aliens? How could they, a bunch of men and women, be inferior to a bunch of primary school students?
"What happened?"
"What the hell?"
"Is the teacher of No. 2 Experimental Primary School talking nonsense?"
"Are kids nowadays all so abnormal?"
The netizens expressed that they could not accept it!
At this moment, Peking University's School of Mathematical Sciences' Dean Pan, who might have heard about it from a student or happened to see this question, actually left a comment on Weibo. He immediately saw through the trick and told everyone: "Hur hur, only Professor Zhang Ye could come up with such a crazy question. I can say with certainty that this question is indeed an elementary math question, but there's a trap in it. That trap might not be too big for primary school students, but the trap in this question of Professor Zhang Ye's is actually a trap set up for adults to fall into!"
When everyone heard this, they all cried out!
"Huh?"
"He's trying to scam us?"
"Zhang Ye is too wicked!"
"That fellow has always been like this!"
"Pfft, I knew it! Teacher Zhang is a scammer to begin with! A sinkhole! Whoever gets close to him will fall into it! "
"Just what kind of scam is this?"
"Dean Pan, hurry up and explain."
Dean Pan's Weibo said: "The principle behind this trap is that adults and primary school students have a different way of thinking. Adults tend to complicate a simple question from the moment they read the question. This is an unconscious way of thinking of adults, but it's different for children. Whether it's the musical notes or the onomatopoeia words, to them, it's just a fixed and unique picture. Those onomatopoeia words might not have much meaning to them, so they can easily see the essence of the question and solve the answer. So from a certain perspective, adults are really not as good as primary school students in this aspect. That's why the questions that they can answer correctly can't be answered by most of you!"
"So that's how it is!"
"Damn, so that's how it is!"
"I knew it!"
"Zhang Ye is such a coward!"
"If this fellow doesn't scam people every day, he'll feel terrible!"
Everyone condemned and laughed at Zhang Ye's wickedness!
Dean Pan said: "It might look like an elementary math question, but the philosophy and reflection contained within it are not at the elementary level. Professor Zhang Ye is indeed a genius in the mathematics world. This question is very interesting, so I've already noted it down. When I get back, I'm planning to let our Peking University's Math Department students try it out and study it. There are some problems that can be solved from a different perspective. Perhaps there will be an unexpected result! Professor Little Zhang has taught everyone to never underestimate a seemingly simple question at any time! Because they might not be as simple as you think they are, or rather, they might not be as complicated as you think they are! "
Ah?
Solving elementary math questions for Peking University's students? And he even had to study it in detail?
Dean Pan's words were undoubtedly a very high evaluation of this elementary math question, and also a very high evaluation of Zhang Ye!
After listening to Dean Pan's explanation, everyone finally understood the trick behind this question. After thinking about it carefully, everyone could not help but admire Zhang Ye's talent and knowledge, as well as his fantastic ideas. To think that an elementary math question could actually be thought of in so many different ways. It had a philosophical and psychological aspect to it, and even had the core value of mathematics. Most importantly, it could even be used to scam people on a large scale. To be able to come up with such a wondrous math question, probably only Zhang Ye in the entire country would be able to find something to do even if he had nothing better to do!!
