Chapter 516

"Too wonderful!"

"This foot-chopping method is too ruthless!"

"I never thought that math problems could be solved in such a simple and crude way!"

"Worthy of being Lord Gao; this method is excellent, directly and accurately finding the variable of the question!"

"Turning decay into magic—this forty-meter blade is too ruthless!"

"Lord Li, although this method is wonderful, you don't have to drool in admiration, do you?"

Lord Li wiped his drool and said awkwardly, "This official didn't eat before coming to court; I'm just hungry. Rabbit legs are good; they smell so fragrant when roasted..."

Hum!

Suan Wudao was completely stunned.

He looked at Gao Yang in disbelief, his Dao heart instantly shattered.

The math problem he had studied for years, the chicken-and-rabbit cage problem that had made countless Great Chu scholars wail, had been cracked by Gao Yang with a forty-meter-long blade chopping off two rabbit feet.

And it had become so simple that even anyone could solve it!

But even he had to say that this problem-solving approach was too wonderful!

Except for being a bit cruel, it had no other flaws!

Gao Yang looked at Suan Wudao with a smile and said:

"Master Suan, 40 rabbits and 20 chickens?"

"Is this answer from this official correct?"

Master Suan's face turned pale. Although he was extremely unwilling to admit it, just as he had said, mathematics is not like couplets, poetry, or any other subject in the world.

In mathematics, right is right, and wrong is wrong!

But thinking of the chessboard rice-placing bet after losing, and that astronomical amount of grain.

Suan Wudao could only grit his teeth and say, "Lord Gao, I admit that you cracked my chicken-and-rabbit cage problem and calculated the correct answer, but this method is too vicious and violates the purpose of my mathematical path!"

"Therefore, Lord Gao, you cannot be considered the winner yet!"

As soon as Suan Wudao said this, the Jin Luan Hall exploded.

Lu Zhen was the first to curse, "A dignified Great Chu Mathematics Chief, yet I didn't expect you to be so shameless!"

"Since when did the mathematical path have some bullshit purpose?"

"I have never seen such a thick-skinned person as you!"

Then, a chorus of condemnation suddenly rang out.

But Suan Wudao gritted his teeth, enduring the scolding, unmoved.

Clearly, when it came to thick skin, Suan Wudao's was much thicker than Master Zhou's.

Lu Zhen couldn't help but curse,

"Grass!"

"Worthy of being a scholar who became an official; this skin is too thick—I can't spray him down!"

As the words fell, Lu Wen and the others all looked at Lu Zhen, their mouths twitching.

Wu Zhao looked cold. She naturally knew the reason why Suan Wudao refused to admit it; the grain involved behind this was enough to sell Suan Wudao off and still not cover the fraction.

But this reason was simply too shameless.

For such a difficult problem, it was already very good for an ordinary person to think of one way to solve it.

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes were full of killing intent. Did the Great Chu mission really think she had a good temper?

But just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard Gao Yang's voice echoing through the entire Jin Luan Hall.

"No matter!"

"Since Master Suan feels the foot-chopping method is too cruel, this official also has the 'Golden Rooster Standing on One Leg Method,' the 'Assumption Method,' the 'Whistle Method,' and the 'Equation Method,' all of which can crack this question, ensuring Master Suan is convinced!"
