Parmer sat down again and looked at the five questions on the blackboard. He looked at Amy confidently and said, "I'll count to three, and then we'll start at the same time. Whoever finishes first wins. One — "
"64, 42, 72, 48, 63. Done. "Amy looked back at the blackboard and calmly reported five numbers.
Parmer had just finished counting to three, and before he could close his mouth and start copying the questions on the paper, Amy had already finished.
The classroom suddenly fell silent. The children didn't know if Amy had calculated correctly, but she was much faster than Parmer. Parmer hadn't even started, and Amy had already reported the answers. So now they all looked at Teacher Luna, wondering if Amy had said the correct answers.
"You're not lying, are you?" Parmer looked at Amy and asked hesitantly.
"I calculated it carefully," Amy said seriously and also looked at Luna.
"64, 42, 72, 48, 63. All correct! " Luna looked at the questions on the blackboard and said the answers one by one. They were exactly the same as Amy's. She was so surprised that she couldn't help but raise her voice a little.
This level of arithmetic was not difficult for her, but even she had to think about it in her head before she could come up with an answer. But just now, Amy had said the correct answers just by looking at the questions. This speed was amazing. She was a genius!
"Amy is so good!" Daphne exclaimed softly. She said what the other children were thinking. They had thought that Parmer was the best, but now it seemed that Amy was still better.
"She's so scary. I can't play with her anymore. People who are good at studying are all crazy." Ignatsu looked horrified and shook his head regretfully.
"I lost." Parmer was silent for a while and nodded seriously. His father had said that as a man, win or lose, he had to be gracious, especially when it came to women.
Although he was often beaten by his mother and didn't dare to fight back, so he made this up to comfort himself, Parmer still felt that it was quite right.
"Yeah, you lost." Amy also nodded, but she didn't look too proud. Instead, she felt that it was only natural.
Of course, this attitude made Palmer feel even more depressed.
"Amazing!" This was the only thought many of the children had when they looked at Amy. It turned out that the little girl in shabby clothes had suddenly become so awesome. She was even more awesome than Palmer.
"The multiplication table of the Great Celestial Empire is indeed powerful." Meg smiled and looked at the little boy. He was quite gentlemanly and looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
At this time, the bell rang, signaling the end of class. The children immediately put the matter to the back of their minds. Some of them could not wait for Teacher Luna to announce the end of class so that they could go out and play.
"Alright, class dismissed." Luna had a lot of questions in her mind, so she didn't delay the class. She held Amy's hand and walked out of the classroom. She looked at Meg and said, "Mr. Meg, there are some questions I want to ask you. If you have time, can we talk in my office?"
"Sure." Meg smiled and nodded. He had something to ask her anyway.
"Mr. Meg, did you teach Amy how to calculate?" When they arrived at the office, Luna gave Amy a candy and let her sit on a small chair to play with. She couldn't help but ask Meg about her doubts.
How did Amy learn how to calculate these questions so quickly in such a short time? She had taught Amy many multiplication tables before, but because there were too many of them, she couldn't remember them all. At that level, she definitely couldn't answer them all.
"I taught Amy a new multiplication table. At the same time, I changed the algorithm. The calculation process has become simpler, and we can get the answer directly." Meg had no intention of hiding it. Firstly, he trusted Luna more. Secondly, there was no need to hide such things.
Let the multiplication table become popular in this world, let everyone memorize the multiplication table. Just thinking about it was an interesting thing.
The integration of the various races was the most direct method of war, but it was also the most problematic. If they could use culture to promote the integration, it would be a good thing.
"A new algorithm?" Luna's eyes lit up. She had thought that Meg had been teaching Amy a lot at home.
If the simpler algorithm that Meg mentioned really existed, then it would be a revolutionary step for the mathematics world. Her hands couldn't help but tremble a little. She looked at Meg and asked seriously, "Mr. Meg, is the algorithm you mentioned universal?"
"It should be universal." Meg nodded. The algorithm had been popularized in China for so many years, so he didn't have to worry about it being universal.
However, if he wanted to popularize it in this world, it was obviously not realistic to rely on Luna, a mathematics teacher. At the very least, it would have to be promoted by an organization at the level of the Gray Temple.
"Teacher Luna, Father is really super awesome," Amy, who was sitting at the side with Ugly Duckling in her arms, said with pride on her little face.
"Mr. Meg, although it's a little abrupt, can I take a look at the new algorithm that you've derived?" Luna looked at Meg sincerely, and said, "If you want to publish it, perhaps I can help you. My grandfather is one of the officials in charge of education in the Roth Empire. Although it's inconvenient to reveal his name, he has always been dedicated to popularizing mathematics. It's just that the existing algorithms are too complicated. There aren't many people who have the patience to learn and master them. Even in Chaos School, only about half of the students who graduate from the primary school can pass mathematics every year.
If your algorithm is really simpler and more applicable than the existing algorithms, I'm sure he'll be more than happy to help popularize it and leave your name in the history of mathematics forever. "
It was naturally a good thing to leave his name in history, but Meg didn't want to be too high-profile now. The name Meg Alex should be a thorn in the hearts of many people in Rodu. If he suddenly poked out, many people would be agitated.
However, Luna's identity was a little surprising. He had thought that she was just the daughter of an ordinary noble family in the Roth Empire. He didn't expect that her grandfather was an official in charge of education.
In the past, Meg Alex had mainly interacted with people from the military, so he didn't know much about civil officials. Now that he thought about it, he only had a vague impression of the surname Ferd. It seemed that there was an old man who had drunk with him at a palace banquet with this surname. However, judging from the way he drank, he was quite bold. He wondered if he was related to Luna.
"Mm-hmm, I can write the algorithm for Miss Luna, but if you want to sign it, I'd like to sign it as Mamy. Is that alright?" Meg nodded with a smile. Signing his name was naturally the best way to advertise.
However, he didn't know what the students who were taught Mamy's multiplication table every day would think if he used the restaurant's name for such an epoch-making algorithm and multiplication table.
