Three questions in one

The talented warriors from the second Donglai team were completely stunned after reading the topics on these two notes.

This is a test question from the business department, one of the nine major professions. It is a very classic "circle cutting technique" to calculate the area of a circle.

The reason why the problem of cutting a circle is classic is that it can be very easy or infinitely difficult.

If you only inscribe regular hexagons, then any businessman's apprentice can easily answer it in a stick of incense.

If the inner secant is twelve sides, twenty-four sides, forty-eight sides, ninety-six sides...the inner secant is 3,072 sides... the difficulty will start to increase sharply, and the more time will be spent.

Every doubling of cutting is a huge test for the businessman's calculation power. This difficulty can continue to increase indefinitely until the problem solver cannot answer it at all.

Therefore, the question "circle cutting" is listed as a holy level examination question in the Shang Department. Even those who are powerful in the business system will still be stumped by this problem at a certain level.

This question often appears in the assessment of business departments, but it will never be as difficult as the current question.

Although there are some differences between the two questions of Princess Ling Jiaojiao and Princess Li Hao, they are almost the same extremely difficult level.

This business-related question is beyond their ability and cannot be solved at all. At least a master from the business department could answer it in a short time.

"Why is there such a difficult question? This difficulty can only be solved by at least the business master level. How many business masters are there in the entire Donglai County!?"

"That's right! Who asked this question? It's so ridiculous! How can the princess and the young princess pass such a question?"

They all headed towards the eighth floor and stood next to the lantern, and the senior staff responsible for supervision strongly questioned them.

"This topic about the eighth floor of the ship with the character '合' was written by hand during a bet between Mr. Cao of the county court and the president of the Chamber of Commerce last night."

When a female senior staff member saw that the team was led by Princess Ling Jiaojiao and Young Princess Li Hao, she did not dare to hide it and revealed the truth and said: "Your Highness, Young Princess. Dean Cao drank too much last night and has been on the third floor today. Resting on the tenth floor. Do you want me to ask him? Just tell him that you two want him to change the question?"

When the two talented Wu Zun teams heard that it was the topic proposed by Dean Cao, their faces were startled, their angry and accusatory expressions suddenly turned off, and they shut their mouths honestly.

They were all still students from Donglai County Courtyard, so how could they dare to question Dean Cao.

Li Hao didn't dare to mess with him.

Dean Cao is one of the most powerful adults in Donglai County. He is also a martial arts cultivator at the peak of Wu Houqi's realm. He is one of the few strong men in Donglai County.

But this Master Cao has a problem, that is, he is addicted to alcohol, and he also likes to compete with other adults for drinking. Drinking too much alcohol can easily lead to stupid things.

Last night, the Dean of Cao University must have had too much wine, so he came up with such a difficult question with eight layers of the word "合".

Although Li Hao's face was ugly, he was also very helpless.

Princess Ling Jiaojiao was extremely angry.

Two of the three teams have been "eliminated" early, leaving only the last one that has not yet answered the question.

In the hall on the eighth floor of the building, all the warriors looked at Ye Fan nervously. As long as the question on the note that Ye Fan drew was simpler and not as perverted as the previous two, he would be able to win smoothly.

In this case, tonight's rafting party will become very interesting. The two most popular people, Princess Ling Jiaojiao and Young Princess Li Hao, both missed out on the grandest boating party in Donglai County.

Unless, Ye Fan also draws an unsolvable question, and the three of them are tied. If there is no winner, there is no need to be eliminated. In this way, Princess Ling Jiaojiao and Young Princess Li Hao can avoid being eliminated.

"It seems difficult for the princess and the young princess to solve the question. Let me see what my question is."

Ye Fan smiled faintly, and under the gaze of everyone, he came to a red lantern in the hall, took out a piece of paper from it, opened it in his hand, and took a look.

Why is this a question? !

According to the rules of Donglai City's Mid-Autumn Festival "Ten Boat Races", the same question cannot be used for two questions, let alone three questions.

But this Dean of Cao University obviously used a tricky way to get the same problem.

Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, frowned, then put away the note and fell into deep thought. It is estimated that Shang will need a while to solve this business master-level problem.

Everyone couldn't help but be curious.

Jiang Youxi took the note from Mark and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment, looking extremely strange.

Seeing that everyone was curious, he read out the title to everyone:

"The question on the eighth level of Hezi: How many times can a circle with a long diameter of one foot be cut on the outside and inside? Can its circumference be three feet, one foot, four inches, one minute, five centimeters, nine millimeters, two seconds, seven hu and three feet One foot, four inches, one minute, five centimeters, nine millimeters, two seconds and six seconds!"

Everyone was speechless after hearing this.

The dean of Cao University actually asked the same question in three different ways. The first one is asking about the calculation of outer cutting, the second one is asking about the calculation of inner cutting, and the other one is asking about the calculation between inner and outer cutting.

This is obviously to block everyone on the eighth floor!

"The three of them actually ended up in a tie!!"

"Dean Cao is so interesting. He used three methods to solve a question! It's really hard for him!"

The dozen or so warriors from the second Donglai County team were stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and laughed one after another.

Although Dean Cao's question is outrageous.

But no matter what, Ling Jiaojiao, Li Hao and Ye Fan couldn't answer it.

At least Princess Ling Jiaojiao and Young Princess Li Hao did not have to be eliminated from the rafting party, and their faces were saved. Otherwise, the two of them don't know how they would become angry.

Ling Jiaojiao also breathed a sigh of relief.

The rule of "losers are eliminated from the rafting party" was made by her. If this rule eliminated her, it would be a big joke.

The entire hall became lively again. Dozens of warriors from the second team looked relaxed, joking softly, and discussing where to watch the boating party together later.

There are a lot of people watching the rafting party tonight. At least millions of people in the entire Donglai City will go to watch.

In fact, many of them were already preparing to leave this huge ship and wanted to get a good viewing position as soon as possible. So as not to miss the best part.

Including the other nine people in Lu Yang's team, they all felt that it was almost time to leave.

Although I have won nine tokens from the ten consecutive boat races, it is a pity that I am only left with the tenth floor of the last boat that I cannot climb. But the difficulty of this business question is too high, and I am afraid that even with Ye Fan's unparalleled knowledge, he will not be able to answer it.

However, Ye Fan was still meditating alone.

Mu Bing couldn't help but feel her heart move when she saw Ye Fan's contemplative expression.

Could Ye Fan be able to answer this question?

She was very surprised.

Just when Li Hao and Ling Jiaojiao were preparing to leave the eighth floor with their respective teams.

Ye Fan suddenly said calmly to the senior staff standing next to the lantern: "The answer to this question is that the outside and inside are cutting 24,576 polygons!"

"Uh, you~...answered it?"

"How could you possibly answer that!"

"Impossible! This is a question asked by Dean Cao himself!"

The senior staff were stunned for a moment, unable to believe their own ears.

This question was written casually by Dean Cao when he was drunk last night.

He also boasted to senior staff like them that even the masters of the business department would take half a day to answer this question, and it was impossible for anyone in Donglai County to pass this test. After he asked this question, he could sleep easily until late tonight, until the rafting party started.

But by chance, someone answered it, and it didn't take half a stick of incense.

Wu Zun of the second team was about to go downstairs. When he heard Ye Fan report an answer, they were all stunned. They all looked at Ye Fan in shock.

The outside and inside are cutting 24,576 polygons!

This is not an inscribed regular hexagon, not twelve, ninety-six, or even thousands of polygons. But more than 20,000.

Can this be calculated? !

Use the technique of cutting a circle to cut a circle with a diameter of one foot into 24,576 positive sides. To this extent, even their eyes cannot see the details of the edges of the graphics clearly.

Ye Fan actually figured out an answer.

Looking at the expressions on the faces of the senior staff, this is clearly the correct answer.

Ye Fan smiled softly, without any intention of explaining to them, and went straight up the stairs to the ninth floor. He has no obligation to explain his problem-solving process.

The rest of the Luyang Mansion team were overjoyed and hurried up to the ninth floor. Now that we have solved the problem, we can naturally go to the ninth floor.

Ye Fan actually won!

The warriors from the second Donglai team looked at this scene in disbelief.

"Princess, we lost!"

A young martial artist's voice trembled slightly, and his face looked so ugly that he almost cried. He even began to imagine how the princess would deal with their group of warriors when she was furious.

"Nonsense, who lost! You lost! How could this princess lose!"

Ling Jiaojiao glared at him fiercely, strode up to several senior staff, and said, "The answer to my question is, 24,576 polygons are incised."

Then, she walked up to the ninth floor in a swaggering manner.

Everyone in the team was stunned.

Is this okay?

It seems that it can indeed be done.

"Uh... the princess's answer is correct."

The senior staff were stunned and looked at each other, not daring to reach out to stop her.

The three questions asked by Dean Cao have different forms, but the content is the same.

Her answer was the same as Mark's, and it was naturally correct.

As for her, she directly used Mark's answer, and they didn't dare to say anything about it. Who asked Dean Cao to ask three questions with the same content in order to save trouble? If the content is changed and the answers are different, then they will dare to stop people.

Li Hao was stunned for a long time, hesitating whether to leave or stay and continue to pass the level.

It is naturally best to go, but you will automatically be eliminated.

If you stay, you are suspected of taking advantage of Ye Fan.

"The outer regular section cuts twenty-four thousand five hundred and seventy-six polygons!"

Li Hao's expression changed several times, and finally he shamelessly followed Ling Jiaojiao to the ninth floor.

I hope that the questions on the ninth floor may not be as perverted as those on the eighth floor.
