Because the final was open to the public, many reporters came to take pictures of the whole process.
The reporters gave Gu Ning the most screen time, because they were all aware of Gu Ning's outstanding performance.
There were 10 questions in the final, and the first one was a verbal arithmetic question with a time limit of 30 seconds.
4485977 + 2333201 - 566177 - 1287212 =?
Gu Ning glanced at it, and wrote down the answer on a piece of paper within five seconds. She was the first one to submit her answer.
Everyone knew that Gu Ning wasn't very fast, but she was able to do it so fast. It only took six seconds for Gu Ning to submit her answer.
Thirty seconds later, except for Gu Ning, there were two other people who managed to answer the question before the time was up, but nobody knew whether they were right or not.
Gu Ning was the first one, so Gu Ning's answer was announced first. It was 4965789, and it was correct.
Since the first one was correct, there was no need to see the second and third questions, regardless of whether they were right or wrong.
The second question had a time limit of 10 minutes, which was the normal time.
However, Gu Ning understood it at a glance, and started to write. Within a minute, she was able to answer the questions. It was as if she was copying the answers.
Everyone was shocked by Gu Ning's performance again.
This girl was too outstanding.
Students who were able to get into the top 10 were already considered geniuses, but Gu Ning was different. She was a genius among geniuses.
In addition to those students, the experts had seen many other students who were talented in mathematics. No matter who they were, they were all vulnerable in front of Gu Ning.
The same thing happened with the third and fourth questions. Everyone gradually became numb from the shock. They didn't need to doubt or guess the result, and it must be Gu Ning.
Until the tenth question, Gu Ning answered it at an extremely fast speed.
It was indeed Gu Ning.
Now, everyone was no longer surprised, but they were still shocked by her speed and couldn't digest it for the time being.
Gu Ning's outstanding performance made the experts and professors feel inferior. Although they could answer the questions in half of the time limit, they couldn't do it in less than a quarter of the time that Gu Ning had.
Some experts had a grudge against Gu Ning because they couldn't compare with a student. They thought that Gu Ning was a slap to their faces, which made them feel ashamed.
It was a narrow-minded person's opinion.
However, most of them were impressed and admired by Gu Ning. One expert was so excited that he even asked questions on the spot. Several questions were answered by Gu Ning.
Once the competition was over, the result was announced... The prizes were given on the spot.
Because Gu Ning was the one who answered all the questions correctly this time, the second place and the third place would be selected from the students who answered the most questions correctly in the second and the third place.
The second place went to a boy from another city, while the third place went to Zhang Zichen.
Song Siyao was furious when she saw the two people she hated win prizes. If she couldn't win a prize, she wouldn't be able to get a famous car.
The first place would receive a trophy, a certificate of honor, and a prize of fifty thousand yuan.
The second place would receive a certificate of honor and a prize of thirty thousand yuan.
The third place would receive a certificate of honor and a prize of twenty thousand yuan.
Although it wasn't a lot of money, it was just an encouragement.
After the prizes were given out, the reporters immediately gathered around to interview Gu Ning and the others.
In front of so many cameras, the boy who won the second prize and Zhang Zikai were a little nervous, but Gu Ning stayed calm. She was neither haughty nor arrogant, which made people feel like they were listening to their leader.
A reporter asked, "Gu Ning, many of us are curious about how you were able to answer all the questions within such a short time. Every student who took part in the math competition is outstanding, and the top 10 are all very talented, but they are still far behind you."
Gu Ning answered, "Because I have a very good memory, I can remember everything I read. Plus, I've seen a lot of things, so I can remember them well."
Everyone could only believe her answer. They couldn't say that she had read the answers in advance, could they? The vice director of the Education Bureau was present. If they questioned Gu Ning's answer, it would be a slap to his face.
In addition, the experts had already asked and answered the questions on the spot, and Gu Ning had answered them within a short time. They couldn't question the person who set the questions just because Gu Ning was able to answer them. It was no different from playing the victim's game.
They didn't dare to annoy those experts, and the reporters who came here for the interview were all clear-headed and well-educated, so they wouldn't say anything inappropriate.
Gu Ning was outstanding, so many experts wanted to recruit her as their apprentice. Although Gu Ning was very good at math, she was only a high school student after all. She only knew a lot about math in high school, so there was still a lot for her to learn.
And they were experts who specialized in mathematics. They knew everything about mathematics.
After the interview, two experts went to talk to Gu Ning about their intention to recruit her as their apprentice, but Gu Ning declined. The two experts tried to persuade her, but Gu Ning was still determined, so they couldn't do anything about it.
The National High School Math Competition finally came to an end, and the students who came from different cities all went back home with their teachers. They all booked flights for the afternoon.
Gu Ning, of course, wouldn't go back, because her home was City B now. She would go back to City B for the National College Entrance Examination.
Su Anya and Zhang Zichen were reluctant to say goodbye to Gu Ning.
After that, Gu Ning directly went back to her Family Tang.
Although it wasn't a big deal in Gu Ning's eyes, Tang Haifeng and the others who were older than her would be happy to hear it.
Although they already knew that Gu Ning had won the first prize in both the preliminary round and the second round, and they were sure that she would be the winner of the National High School Mathematics Competition this time, they had already prepared a celebration party for her. Gu Ning's family had already arranged everything, and they were waiting for her to come back for dinner.
Although they were sure that Gu Ning would win the National High School Math Competition this time, they were still excited when they saw the trophy and the certificate with their own eyes. They were very proud of Gu Ning.
Tang Haifeng even called his old friends to show off.
If Gu Ning only won the first prize, it wouldn't be too surprising, but it was unprecedented for her to win the first prize with full marks. Therefore, Tang Haifeng's old friends were all surprised and envious of Gu Ning.
It was true that Gu Ning was Gu Ning's daughter now.
