Chapter 524

"With my level, it is impossible to solve this math problem; I am not even worthy of studying it."

The more Shangguan Wan'er said, the more solemn her expression became, and the more complex her beautiful eyes looking at Gao Yang became.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhong was stunned.

After all, Shangguan Wan'er's fame as a talented woman echoed through Changan.

She actually claimed she wasn't worthy of studying this question, so how difficult was this question?

Although Cui Xinghe also knew it was definitely more than five rows, he still felt Shangguan Wan'er's words were too exaggerated.

He couldn't help but say: "Could it be that Lord Gao's twenty-tree planting problem is more difficult than the 'Pythagorean Circle' problem left by the number one math saint in the world, which was famous throughout the world?"

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Cui Xinghe and said without hesitation, "In my heart, the Pythagorean Circle problem that made countless scholars wail is not worth mentioning in front of this question!"

"The two are simply not on the same level!"

Shangguan Wan'er's words shocked the entire Jin Luan Hall.

No one expected that this small tree-planting problem would have such high difficulty!

At this time, Gao Yang also said faintly, "I can solve the Pythagorean Circle problem!"

"But for this tree-planting problem, even this official doesn't know the maximum number of rows, only a relatively high arrangement method. But the Great Chu Mathematics Chief, who has studied mathematics all his life, should be able to clear it up for this official."

"This official is extremely looking forward to it!"

Actually, this question is not difficult. In the 16th century, ancient Greece, ancient Rome, and ancient Egypt successively completed the arrangement of sixteen rows. In the 18th century, someone conjectured that the tree-planting problem should reach eighteen rows, but it was not proven.

In the 19th century, a math master completed the arrangement of eighteen rows!

In the 20th century, two math enthusiasts broke the record of eighteen rows with an electronic computer, pushing the record of the tree-planting problem to twenty rows, and someone abroad offered 200,000 US dollars hoping someone would make a new breakthrough!

In the 21st century, the tree-planting problem was brought out by mathematicians again, wanting to break through twenty rows!

But so far, no one has done it!

And it is worth mentioning that the mathematician in the 18th century who only conjectured that the tree-planting problem could reach eighteen rows but had no specific arrangement method had a widely known name—Gauss!

Is this question difficult?

Great Chu Mathematics Chief, Suan Wudao, requests to fight!
