Chapter 35: The President’s Office is confused: Is this just pretending to be cool?
Peng Xun brought Luo Yao to a place that looked like a garden.
There were only a few people inside, each doing their own thing.
Some were playing games, some were studying table tennis, and some were drawing something.
When Luo Yao passed by the person who was drawing something, he took a special look at what the other person was drawing.
What he didn't expect was that the other party drew an EDA architecture diagram.
"Did you design this yourself?" Luo Yao asked with a somewhat strange expression.
The designer raised his eyes, glanced at Luo Yao, and said proudly, "Of course. What do you think?"
Luo Yao said uninterestedly, "Not very good."
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?!" The other party was obviously a little annoyed.
"Your architecture is just a modification of Synopsys's. Synopsys owns 4,463 patents. If we develop according to your architecture, can you ensure that we won't touch upon their patented technology?" Luo Yao said calmly, not frightened at all.
The man glanced at Peng Xun standing next to him, his face quickly flushed. Luo Yao's rebuke made him feel uncomfortable: "Isn't it okay if I just draw for fun?"
"What's the point of drawing something like this for fun? It's a waste of time." Luo Yao threw down a comment and went inside.
One can tell from the Synopsys architecture at a glance that Luo Yao is a really strong guy.
Peng Xun smiled slightly, glanced at the boy who was drawing the architecture diagram, and followed Luo Yao without saying a word.
Once inside, the people here are even crazier.
In the work area, people here are obsessively fiddling with the instruments at hand or staring at the computer, and it seems that they are all immersed in their work.
They didn't notice Luo Yao and Peng Xun's arrival at all until Peng Xun walked through the work area, walked to a door and opened it.
"Hey! See? There's a new guy here!"
"Guess how old this time is? I'll go first, 20!"
"You can't assume someone is 20 years old just because they're tall! Their face looks so young, they must be only 18 or 19!"
"Adra, why do you look so excited?"
"How can I not be excited? This little brother is not only good-looking, but what if he tests out to be more intelligent than you?"
"Taller than me? I don't know about that, but definitely not as tall as Sergei!"
Sitting in the work area at this time are the geniuses from the "Genius Project".
Apart from focusing on their own research, these people are only interested in their own kind.
Now seeing a new person about to enter the testing room, they all paid close attention.
It is difficult to find smart people, let alone geniuses like them. Huaji has only recruited nine people on Blue Star so far, so as soon as they found their own kind, they couldn't help but want to get to know each other.
Arriving at the testing room, Peng Xun had Luo Yao sit on the only chair in the room. He then said to Luo Yao, "This test will be handled entirely by a machine. Every question you need to answer will be projected onto the wall in front of you. Simply state the answer. If you don't know the answer, just say 'pass.'"
"There are 30 questions in total and the time is 100 minutes."
"When the time is up, your score will be automatically calculated regardless of whether you have finished it or not."
"This score is tied to your job level and salary level, so answer it well."
After explaining the situation, Peng Xun went out to make a phone call.
Then, a mechanical female voice sounded.
【Welcome to participate in this test, please see the questions below...】
Find the smallest positive integer L that satisfies the following condition: for any L-element subset A of the set S = (1, 2, ··, 2012), there exist three distinct elements A1, A2, and A3 in S such that A1+A2, A2+A3, and A3+A1 are all in the set A.
Luo Yao hadn't done math problems for a few days, so he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the problem in front of him.
Others see mathematics as a desire to perish with it.
And Luo Yao will only feel happy after seeing it!
The dopamine neurons in the hypothalamus have been stimulated and release dopamine molecules at this time!
Combinatorics and number theory?
That's easy.
Since A1+A2, A2+A3, and A3+A1 are all required to be in set A, the difference between the smallest element and the largest element must be less than or equal to L-1, otherwise A1, A2, and A3 cannot be found to meet the conditions.
Assume A1＜A2＜A3, x=A1＋A2, y=A2＋A3, z=A3＋A1, then x
x+y+z=(A1+A2)+(A2+A3)+(A3+ A1)=2A1+2A2+2A3.
2A1, 2A2, and 2A3 are all integers, so their sum is an even number.
Therefore x + y + z is the sum of three even numbers, so x + y + z is an even number.
…
Numbers and symbols were flying around in Luo Yao's mind. Although each step was clear, it only took a blink of an eye for him to come to a conclusion.
Luo Yao was not nervous at all during the entire testing process. Instead, the executives who were watching him test in the monitoring room became nervous.
It turned out that as soon as Peng Xun walked out of the testing room, he called Zheng Mengrong.
"Boss Meng Rong, Luo Yao has already entered the testing room. Do you want to take a look?"
Zheng Mengrong thought about it and knew that Luo Yao was a special person to Huaji, so he put down his work and went to the monitoring room.
The monitoring room was already full of people from the president's office.
"Why are you all free today? Aren't you planning the Pangu EDA project?" The entire monitoring room was filled with people from the president's office. Zheng Mengrong had never seen such a scene before.
Chairman Lu Gao looked at Zheng Housheng and said, "Didn't President Zheng say that Luo Yao's IQ might be higher than Sergey's? I was curious, so I came here."
"We're also curious about how smart Luo Yao is, to have been able to develop Pangu EDA."
Zheng Housheng laughed heartily and pointed at Luo Yao on the screen, saying, "Look for yourselves. Among the geniuses we recruited previously, which one can solve problems this fast?"
When everyone looked, they saw Luo Yao speaking the answer quickly.
"Could it be that Luo Yao has seen these questions before?" Lu Gao felt that Luo Yao's problem-solving speed was terrifying. Aren't number theory questions computationally intensive?
But why did Luo Yao figure it out in less than five minutes of mental arithmetic?
"Impossible! These questions are all randomly generated by the system. There's no way Luo Yao has seen them beforehand."
"Wait, look, why did Luo Yao stop?"
Zheng Mengrong's words successfully interrupted the others' discussion. Lu Gao looked up at Luo Yao and saw that he had stopped reading the questions. He said, "I guess the next questions are too difficult!"
"Only 18 questions now. Looks like I'm not as good as Sergey!"
The others remained silent, only looking at Luo Yao with concern.
In the camera, Luo Yao sighed in boredom and lowered his head.
He muttered to himself, "Is it all that easy? I don't want to do it anymore. What a waste of time."
After hearing this, the people in the president's office all looked complicated.
Are you pretending to be cool?
"Did I hear correctly? He complained that the test we gave him was too easy!"
"Haha, this kid is quite good at pretending! Maybe he can't do the next questions, so he's making excuses for himself?"
"How old are you? If you keep pretending like this, what will happen to you in the future?"
"Old Peng, you have to pay more attention to this kid from now on!"
"It's strange. If it's at this level, how did Pangu EDA software get made?"
Zheng Housheng and Zheng Mengrong didn't say anything, but just kept looking at Luo Yao.
Soon, Luo Yao in the camera moved again.
"Forget it, let's just finish it first. I can't believe this result is linked to my job grade and salary." Luo Yao muttered to himself and continued answering questions.
The people in the monitoring room originally had smiles on their faces, but as Luo Yao answered the questions, their smiles gradually froze on their faces.
One, two...
With Luo Yao's super-fast answering speed, the remaining twelve questions were quickly solved.
【Your total time for answering the questions is 57 minutes.】
[Calculating your score...]
Luo Yao looked at the instructions on the wall without much concern, wondering if this thing could really measure anything.
On the other side, the people in the president's office were looking at the wall nervously, afraid of missing the time when the answers would be announced.
But after a minute, the test results were still not out.
"What's going on? Is the machine broken? Why is it still calculating?" Zheng Housheng decided to ask someone to talk to the development department about the situation. What kind of program would respond for a minute without any results?
Is there a bug?
As a program produced by Huaji, isn't this embarrassing?
【Congratulations, all your answers are correct! 】
【Your IQ test is: 230 or above.】
It was the first time that the people in the president's office saw such outrageous data, and they stared at the data on the wall over and over again.
"It's not more than 100 or 200, it's more than 230?" Lu Gao looked at the displayed numbers with doubt, feeling dazzled.
"It's hard to imagine this is a test result. Is the program broken?"
"I've never seen such high data. It's very likely a program error. You just saw that the system took a full minute to respond!"
Seeing that others were suspicious, Zheng Housheng immediately asked Peng Xun to call the person in charge of the "genius test" and ask them to check whether there was a problem with the program.
Soon, the programmer who checked the backend logs replied: "Mr. Peng, there is absolutely no problem with the test program. Everything is normal."
Peng Xun glanced at the others and asked the question they were most eager to ask: "Then why did the system take a minute to produce the results just now?"
"Mr. Peng, the results of the 'genius test' are calculated based on factors such as the number of correct answers, the respondent's reaction speed, and the overall response time. The previous highest score was 16.5. "
"So, we set it up so that if the score exceeds 165, we will perform three additional calculations to verify it."
"Then why is the result displayed above 230?"
"Because the current test type can only measure an IQ score of around 230. Don't think this is outrageous. The highest IQ score that can be measured by the current test questions in the world is only 230."
"If you really want to know the reason, it's probably because no one has an IQ of 230, so it's impossible to come up with a test question with a score above 230."
