"The first question. Which is heavier, 1 Jin of cotton or 1 Jin of iron? A, 1 Jin of cotton; B, 1 Jin of iron; C, the same weight. "
Professor Zhao smiled: "I choose C, the same weight."
One of the leaders in the audience laughed. Same weight? Professor? You don't even know 1 Jin of iron is heavier?!
"Are you sure?" Ni Ping asked again.
"Yes. Because both are 1 Jin, and the same weight. But cotton is bigger than iron."
"Congratulations! Your answer is correct!"
The audience applauded. That leader, who was laughing at Professor Zhao earlier, slapped his forehead. How come he was so confused just now? He had thought that these questions were easy, and he could answer all of them correctly. But now, it seems that this might not be the case.
Professor Zhao answered 2 questions correctly and passed the first round. He will get the 1,000 RMB prize money and other prizes if he gives up on answering the rest of the questions.
"Professor Zhao, are you sure you want to continue?"
"I am sure. I need more prize money."
"Ok. Let's continue. Please look at the question … …"
Professor Zhao hesitated for the 5th question. This was a common sense question, and he does not know the answer. He told Ni Ping: "I choose to ask for help from the audience."
A student raised his hand and gave Professor Zhao a positive answer. This also helped Professor Zhao to answer the 5th question correctly and pass the second round.
When Professor Zhao answered the 8th question correctly, he did not have any more options. He still chose to continue answering the remaining questions.
But at the 10th question, Professor Zhao got it wrong.
"I'm sorry. You answered this question incorrectly. That means your prize money will be zero, and you can only get our consolation prize, an Aiwa Walkman. "
There were sounds of regret in the audience, and Professor Zhao was also a little lonely. He did not expect that after passing the difficult physics, chemistry, mathematics, and history questions, he would lose to the last common sense question.
99% of Tricolor cats were female cats. He had never owned a cat before. How would he know?!
"Professor Zhao, I'm sorry. But don't be sad. The director had sent me a message. Wind and Rain Home Appliances will be working with Wind & Rain Electronics, Aiwa Electronics, Wahaha Group, and Tai Hua Education Foundation to investigate your hometown. After the investigation, they will sponsor your hometown's education. This way, all the children in your hometown will be able to attend school!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause. Professor Zhao was stunned for a moment. He stood up and thanked the host. He kept thanking the companies that had donated.
Feng Yu had always been donating to the school buildings and schools, so this place was not a big deal. After this program was broadcasted, coupled with the publicity in the newspapers, these companies would definitely be promoted to the level of being a conscientious company!
Next summer, it should not be so difficult to recruit new graduates from Peking University.
A few of the station leaders also nodded. This way, after the broadcast, the program would definitely receive good reviews. The content of this program was quite interesting. There were all sorts of strange questions, but they couldn't answer half of them. Was it too difficult?
Even the professor failed in the end. Wouldn't it be even worse for the others? In this way, would the audience still be enthusiastic?
"Let's welcome our second contestant."
A man in overalls walked onto the stage and waved at everyone enthusiastically, as if he was a big star. On his uniform, there were four words printed – Songjiang Motors.
Ni Ping was stunned for a moment when she saw the man in his work uniform, but she quickly realized that they were recording a show.
"Sir, please take a seat. I am your host, Ni Ping. Can you introduce yourself? "
"Nice to meet you. My name is Sun Dahai. I am from Northeast Bing City. I am a workshop worker at Bing City Machinery Company's First Automobile Branch Factory. "Sun Dahai spoke with an authentic Northeast accent, and the audience laughed.
"Mr. Sun, how did you get selected?"
"I listened to the radio after work and called to register. I did not expect to be selected. My wife did not want me to participate at first. She said that I only have a Junior High education, and I might lose in this kind of intellectual competition. But I wanted to win the prize money and bring my family on a holiday. I want to see our country. "
The TV station leaders frowned. This was the contestant recommended by the sponsors? Someone with a Junior High education and a workshop worker might not even be able to answer all three questions correctly. If he could not even answer one question correctly, it would be a joke!
The audience also thought the same. Professor Zhao was so knowledgeable, but he still failed in the end, let alone this worker, Sun Dahai.
When Sun Dahai started answering the questions, the audience laughed. This Sun Dahai did not even know A, B, and C. How dare he answer the questions?
But the audience did not expect Sun Dahai to answer the first three questions correctly. He was working in the workshop, and he could use the knowledge he had learned in the workshop to answer the questions.
But the audience felt that this was all Sun Dahai could do. He should stop while he was ahead. Why did he still want to challenge the contestants?
The fifth question was a history question. This question asked who was the third Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty.
"I choose the third one. Zhao Heng."
"Are you sure?"
"Actually, I also do not know which one it is. I made a wild guess. I have 3 brothers in my family, and I am the third. So, I choose the third one. That's it. I am sure. I will choose the third one. "Sun Dahai said.
"Congratulations! You got it right!"
The audience was stunned. How could this be possible? You don't even know the answer? Just because you are the third brother in your family, you choose the third one? How can you get it right?!
But this was the rules. You don't need to know the answer. All you need to do is to answer the questions correctly. It was just like their exams.
They thought this worker would give up. But they did not expect this worker to continue to challenge the contestants. Did he think that good luck would always be with him? 3,000 RMB was a lot, and there were still prizes to be won.
When the worker got the eighth question correct, even the Station Leaders felt it was unbelievable. This person's luck was too good. The eighth question was an astronomy question, and the worker did not know the answer. But he chose the one with the most words, and he got it right!
The worker got the third question by luck, and he still wanted to challenge the contestants.
No one expected the worker to answer the last two questions. The worker did not know the answer, but he got both questions correct with his luck!
When the host announced that the worker had passed the second question and received 10,000 RMB from the Dream Fund, the audience was shocked.
Even Professor Zhao, who was so knowledgeable, did not succeed. But a worker with only a middle school education succeeded! Doesn't this mean that as long as the worker is lucky, anyone can challenge the contestants?
Other than Deputy Chief Jia, the rest of the Station Leaders were kept in the dark. They did not know that this worker knew the answers in advance, and that's why he got it right every time.
They were also shocked. This was too dramatic. A professor … … lost to a worker?!
