Guo Miao's doubts were soon answered that night.
Generally, the National Mathematics Competition was held in Beijing, often at Beijing University or Huaqing University.
However, due to some special reasons, Beijing University and Huaqing University could not host the Panda TV show this year, so they chose Shanghai's Fuda University.
The mathematics competition was usually seven days long. However, due to the adjustment of the competition system this year, it had been changed to twelve days.
The first day was the opening ceremony, followed by three days of training, one day for the team competition, three days for the individual match training, the ninth day for the individual match, the tenth day for the academic report competition, the eleventh day for free activities, and the twelfth day for the closing ceremony.
For a full twelve days, every day was chock-a-block.
The opening ceremony on the first day answered Guo Miao's question.
