Chapter 117 This is testing... your witty remarks!
"The question posed by Young Master Wei comes from the 'Sunzi Suanjing' and is titled 'The Number of Things is Unknown'."
He glanced at the dumbfounded Wei Shan and said calmly:
"When three are divided by three, there is a remainder of two, so three is divided by two; when five are divided by five, there is a remainder of three, so five is divided by three; when seven are divided by seven, there is a remainder of two, so seven is divided by two."
The solution to this problem is called the "Great Derivation Method of Seeking Oneness".
"The number that leaves a remainder of 2 when divided by 3 is twenty-three!"
"The number that leaves a remainder of 3 when divided by 5 is 23!"
"A number that leaves a remainder of 2 when divided by 7 is also twenty-three!"
Therefore, the smallest of these items is twenty-three!
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deathly silence!
Wei Shan's pupils suddenly contracted!
He stared at Zhang Fan with his mouth agape, as if he had seen a ghost!
Shock! Awe!
Unparalleled! Shocking!
The tangled mess in his mind was instantly cleared up by Zhang Fan's words!
Sun Tzu's Mathematical Classic?
The Great Derivation Seeking Oneness Technique?
He'd never even heard of it!
Who exactly is this man?
How could he possibly understand these godlike algorithms?
Before everyone could recover from their shock, Zhang Fan looked at Han Kou, who was already dumbfounded.
"As for Young Master Han's question, it is even simpler."
"This is a matter of profit and loss!"
"If there are two more good horses and two fewer inferior horses, then the records will be the same!"
"It can be known that a good horse can carry four more bushels than a bad horse."
"The total is fifty shi (a unit of dry measure). Subtract these four shi, then divide it equally, and you'll know what the old horse carried!"
"A nag carries 23 shi (a unit of dry measure), while a fine horse carries 27 shi."
The words were spoken.
Han Kou's brain went blank on the spot!
He stood there, stunned, muttering to himself, "Twenty-three...twenty-seven...adding it all up...exactly fifty..."
He got it!
He actually understood!
Zhang Fan explained this complex problem clearly in just a few words!
He looked at Zhang Fan, his eyes now filled with unprecedented horror and...fear!
As for Fairy Pei, her beautiful eyes, hidden behind her veil, were already sparkling with extraordinary brilliance!
She stared intently at Zhang Fan, at his tall and imposing figure.
At this moment, it seemed to radiate boundless light!
Shocking! Surprising! Incredible!
This man kept redefining her understanding of things!
Literary talent, music, mathematics...
How many unknown skills does he possess?
After the deathly silence.
Zhang Fan smiled faintly, his gaze falling on Wei Shan, who had already turned to stone.
"Young Master Wei!" he said softly, his voice low but with a hint of amusement.
"I've solved the problem."
"Now, isn't it time for you to keep your promise?"
Wei Shan suddenly came to his senses, his face turning pale and then red!
drink?
Drink ten jars?
He looked at the ten jars of "Drunken Immortal Wine" that the maid had just brought over.
Each jar was as big as a large bowl, which made my scalp tingle!
"What? Does Young Master Wei want to back out?"
Zhang Fan shook his head and sighed, "As expected... the eldest son of the dignified Wei family doesn't even have this much responsibility!"
"Very well! Since Young Master Wei, a dignified eight-foot man, is incapable!"
"That won't do! ...You don't need to drink it!"
"It's fine!"
Provocation!
A blatant act of provocation!
"Who...who said I changed my mind!"
Wei Shan was forced to the edge of a cliff.
He gritted his teeth, grabbed a jar of wine, tilted his head back, and poured it into his mouth!
"Glug... Glug..."
The spicy liquor poured down his throat, burning his internal organs!
One jar! Two jars! Three jars! Four jars!
When the fourth jar of wine was empty, Wei Shan could no longer hold on.
With a loud "bang!"
He collapsed to the ground, his eyes glazed over, clearly drunk.
aside.
Han Kou looked at Wei Shan lying on the ground like a dead dog, and a sense of pleasure rose in his heart.
Zhang Fan's gaze had already turned to him.
"Young Master Han!"
Zhang Fan smiled and said, "I helped you solve the problem, wouldn't you say that counts as a favor?"
Han Kou was taken aback, then nodded subconsciously.
"Since Young Master Wei is not a strong drinker, we can't just waste the rest of the wine, can we?"
Zhang Fan continued, "Look, shouldn't you also do something?"
"you!"
Han Kou was furious!
This kid actually dared to set his sights on me!
Zhang Fan's smile remained unchanged:
"What? Could it be that the son of a dignified prefectural commandant is inferior to even the son of a drunken merchant?"
"fart!"
Han Kou couldn't stand this kind of provocation!
He roared, grabbed the wine jar, and drank it down even more vigorously than Wei Shan!
Four jars were consumed in the same way!
Although Han Kou was a warrior and had a better capacity for alcohol, he was already dizzy, his face was flushed, and he was swaying unsteadily.
"Excellent! Excellent wine!"
He hiccuped and mumbled incoherently.
Seeing that the two of them had drunk quite a bit, Zhang Fan chuckled to himself.
The time has come!
He stood up and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Fairy Pei:
"Fairy, it's getting late, and these two are already drunk, so I'll take them away first."
After saying that, he prepared to help Wei Shan and Han Kou up from the ground.
"etc!"
Fairy Pei panicked immediately!
In her haste, she stood up and quickly stepped forward to block Zhang Fan!
"This...this young master!"
Her voice held a hint of urgency, "You...you haven't solved your problem yet!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan was stunned.
Even Wei Shan and Han Kou, who were drunk on the ground, struggled to lift their heads and looked at him with eyes full of doubt.
Are there any more questions?
Isn't it just one plus one equals what?
Zhang Fan gave an awkward smile, thinking to himself that this fairy was too good at playing games, so he could only casually reply:
"Oh, that one!"
"Equals three."
All he wants now is to get away with these two as soon as possible!
However, as soon as he finished speaking—
"!!!"
Wei Shan and Han Kou were so shocked that they were mostly sober!
They stared wide-eyed at Zhang Fan as if he were a fool!
One plus one equals three?
Is this guy drunk, or has he lost his mind?
That's not right!
He didn't drink it either?
However, something even more shocking and mind-blowing happened!
Immediately, Fairy Pei's beautiful eyes lit up!
She was taken aback at first!
Immediately, the stunningly beautiful face hidden behind the veil turned crimson at a speed visible to the naked eye!
She looked at Zhang Fan, her voice trembling slightly, tinged with shyness.
"Congratulations, Young Master Zhang!"
"You...you got it right!"
The whole world seemed to stand still at that moment!
Zhang Fan: "???"
Wei Shan: "???"
Han Kou: "???"
Zhang Fan was completely dumbfounded!
How can that be correct?
Wei Shan and Han Kou felt that their worldviews had been completely shattered at this moment!
They looked at Zhang Fan, then at Pei Xianzi, their minds completely blank!
What the hell is going on?!
Seeing the expressions on the three people's faces as if they had seen a ghost, Fairy Pei realized that she had overreacted.
Her ears turned bright red with embarrassment, and she quickly lowered her head, explaining in a voice barely audible:
"This humble woman...this humble woman means..."
"A man...and a woman...together can...can produce a baby..."
"So...one plus one equals three..."
"I...I never expected that you, young master, could come up with such...such an ingenious idea..."
Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.
But her explanation struck them like a thunderbolt!
Great!
Awesome!
It's still fucking numb!
You can play like this?!
This fairy's way of thinking is truly extraordinary!
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Wei Shan and Han Kou were overwhelmed with despair and felt an urge to vomit blood!
They understood!
They were doomed from the start!
This third question isn't testing math or physics at all!
This is testing your... witty remarks!
