The second day of the game starts at 9 a.m. and lasts until 1:30 p.m., for a total of four and a half hours.
In yesterday's match, Grigory, who was in great form, attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered.
Seryosha was still sitting in the audience, and he was looking forward to winning the Soviet team in today's competition.
The deputy team leader who sat next to him yesterday was still sitting with Seryosha.
With him in Seryosha, he was able to understand some things about the game.
After the start of the competition, Seryosha also got the exam questions at the same time, and he is now completely dead to his mathematical skills, but he is becoming more and more interested in this competition.
Seryosha felt that if he had a child in the future, he would definitely encourage him to study mathematics well, not to mention that at least he could have a great advantage when playing poker.
Almost all the audience around him were burying their heads in the problem, and Seryosha was embarrassed to talk to someone, because it might affect others, so Seryosha picked up the test paper thrown aside, picked up paper and pen, and began to try to solve the problem like everyone else.
Yesterday, the deputy team leader told Seryosha that the first question is usually the easiest in the competition, and the later you go, the more difficult it becomes, so Seryosha does not expect that he can make the latter question, but focuses on the first question.
This is a grouping question, the title describes a company needs to arrange the work of personnel, but due to some special reasons, some of them cannot be grouped together for some reasons, and the question finally requires the contestants to design an algorithm that can not only properly deal with these special situations, but also use the least number of departments to make personnel get reasonable arrangements.
Seryosha thought for a moment, but had no idea, so he didn't plan to waste time here any longer.
He walked outside, pulled out a cigarette and put it to his mouth, then lit it.
Seryosha looked at the time, it was almost an hour.
Suddenly there was a commotion in the factory, and Seryosha thought that Grigory must have handed in the papers ahead of time, so he extinguished the half-smoked cigarette and turned back to the arena, intending to see how this amazing creature had killed all sides.
Seryosha returned to his seat, greeted the deputy team leader, and asked, "How is it, did Grigory hand in the papers ahead of schedule?"
"No, this time it's Americans," the deputy team leader said with some disappointment.
Seryosha hurriedly looked at the scoreboard, and sure enough, there was still a big 0 below, and a big 35 had appeared below the S.
Seryosha felt a little unexpected, so he asked the deputy team leader professor beside him for advice: "What's going on, is today's topic particularly difficult?"
"The other questions are very simple, only the last question is very difficult, and the first contestant who handed in the paper just now also lost points because of the last question.
He thought he had made this question, but the judges pointed out a fatal mistake," the deputy team leader, the professor, explained to Seryosha what had just happened.
As long as someone talks to him, Seryosha does not feel that time is long.
The deputy team leader professor also put the test paper aside, and the two began to pay close attention to the movements on the field, and as time went by, more and more players began to hand in the papers, but there was never a perfect score.
Seryosha looked at Grigory in the audience, Grigory grabbed his messy hair with both hands, and the whole person was almost pasted on the test paper, could it be that he was also stumped by the last question Seryosha couldn't help but wonder.
Three hours have passed, more and more students have begun to turn in their papers, and the scores on the scoreboard have begun to change, although so far there has been no perfect score.
The scores are still close, but this time the Americans are ahead.
Seryosha looked at Grigory, who was still sitting in his seat, and it seemed that he was in a bitter battle.
Three and a half hours had passed, and the members of the American and German teams had all turned in their papers, and only two Soviet students remained, one of whom was Grigory.
The American team shown on the scoreboard had the highest score, followed by the Federal Republic of Germany and finally the Soviet Union.
However, since two Soviet students have not yet turned in their papers, it is not yet known who killed the deer.
After a while, a Soviet student handed in the paper, and only Grigory was left in the audience who was still doing the problem, and there was no full score today, which has to be said to be a pity, so everyone pinned their hopes on Grigory, and the mathematicians in the audience were also looking forward to when Grigory would hand in the paper.
The time came to 1:30 p.m.
When the game time was over, the referee in the stadium walked up to Grigory's side and watched how he solved the problem, and his face suddenly had a look of surprise.
The U.S. representative hurriedly protested because the match was over and a certain player should not be taken care of.
The referee nodded and took the test paper from one side of the table, which Grigory had already put aside.
But Grigory didn't get up, still calculating something.
The referee did not agree with the accusation that the U.S. team had overtime, Grigori's test paper had long been put aside, he was not busy with the questions on the test paper, and no one knew what he was doing now.
No one came forward to disturb him, and Grigory continued to count the problem as if no one was around.
Soon the referee announced Grigori's score, 35 points, which means that there is one question that Grigori did not make.
The total score of the Soviet delegation was only in second place.
"Is it the last question?"
the deputy team leader asked hurriedly.
"No, he's the only one who did the last question," the referee said, shaking his head regretfully.
"That's the question," the assistant team leader asked, puzzled, unable to think of any question on the paper that would stump Grigori.
"It's the first question" The referee's answer surprised everyone.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one could guess why it was the first question.

Seryosha pulled aside the deputy team leader professor who was stunned on the spot, and asked curiously: "What's wrong with the first question, haven't many people made it?"
The deputy team leader also replied with a confused face: "Yes, I don't understand why the first question uses the knowledge of the four-color conjecture, as long as the children who can participate here should do it." ” "Four-color guess is not the one on the map that marks all the countries with four colors," Seryosha hurriedly asked.
"Oh, I see, could it be that Grigory wants to prove the four-color conjecture," said the deputy team leader, the professor with a sudden realization.
Without waiting for Seryosha to continue asking, the deputy team leader professor began to explain, like a layman like Seryosha.
"The four-color conjecture is one of the three major mathematical conjectures in the world, and it has puzzled mathematicians all over the world since it was proposed in 1852.
However, five years ago, in 1976, the Americans made 10 billion judgments on a mainframe computer and finally brute-force this conjecture, so the Americans thought it could be called the four-color theorem.
Until now, however, the mainstream math community has taken this result with reservations, as it has always been a conclusion drawn in an infinite set.
However, this conjecture seems simple, but many geniuses have tried to prove it, but in the end, it has not worked.
The deputy team leader explained to Seryosha in detail.
"In other words, only by acknowledging the results of the Americans can you make the first question," Seryosha asked.
The deputy team leader nodded regretfully.
