Chapter 37: Fighting for the Boss (Part 2)
Seeing Xu Yan say this, Luo Yifei did not think that this was an opportunity. Instead, he became secretly alert. This guy was full of bad intentions and would definitely not be so kind as to give him a chance. Who knows what bad things he might be up to!
When he thought of this, Luo Yifei rolled his eyelids and said, "You tell me what to do, so why should I listen to you?"
"What? You don't dare?" Xu Yan provoked, "If you don't even dare to accept the challenge, how can you be the boss of our third class and lead all the members of our third class!"
“That’s right!”
"We in Class 3 should not be the cowardly boss!"
"Luo Yifei, what are you afraid of? Promise him!"
Yuan Guoqing and a few others started to make a fuss. Anyway, it would never be their turn to be the boss. They were just there to watch the fun and were eagerly waiting to see the show.
"You have heard the voice of the masses, right? You can decide for yourself what to do." Xu Yan's lips curled up into a smile. Although he has not become the boss yet, everything is already under his control. He believes that becoming the boss is only a matter of time .
Seeing everyone making a fuss, Luo Yifei had to accept it even though he was unwilling. However, he also put forward restrictions. "You can set questions, but I have to make it clear in advance that you are not allowed to deliberately set questions that are impossible to complete or that are beyond the knowledge of high school students. Otherwise, you will lose."
"Okay!" Xu Yan patted his chest.
Under everyone's gaze, Xu Yan organized his words and said the question, "A bear fell into a trap. The trap is 19.617 meters deep and it took exactly 2 seconds to fall. What color is the bear?"
"What does the color have to do with a bear falling into a trap? Are you kidding me?" Luo Yifei said angrily.
Xu Yan glanced at him and did not answer him. Instead, he continued, "I will give you five options. A: White, polar bear. B: Brown, brown bear. C: Black, black bear. D: Dark brown, Malayan bear. E: Gray, grizzly bear."
"This question doesn't count. It's impossible to complete." Luo Yifei jumped up and shouted, "You didn't keep your word and violated the previous agreement. You lose this bet!"
Xu Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Just because you can't answer it doesn't mean others can't answer it either!" He ignored Luo Yifei and turned to look at the people in Class 3, saying, "Does anyone know the answer?"
"have no idea!"
"How can a bear be able to tell the color of a trap? It's simply impossible!"
Everyone looked at each other and whispered. Like Luo Yifei, they were at a loss as to how to solve this problem and had no idea at all, let alone knowing the answer.
Xu Yan chuckled, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, and said, "It seems that you all don't know the answer!"
"This is simply impossible to complete. Who can know the answer!" Luo Yifei said, and pressed Xu Yan: "Don't think that you can fool us all by making a random question. You'd better explain it clearly. If this question is impossible to calculate, or it is beyond the knowledge level of high school students, you lose!"
"Since you are so anxious to admit defeat, I will grant your wish." Xu Yan sneered and was about to give his answer when he suddenly noticed Jiang Danian raised his head and looked at him timidly, seeming to have something to say.
Xu Yan's heart moved, and he said, "Da Nian, do you know the answer?"
Everyone was stunned, and then burst into laughter.
"Him! Stop teasing me!"
"He's so dumb that he can't even tell left from right, how could he possibly know the answer!"
"That's right. If he knows the answer, it would take a sow being able to climb a tree!"
"You are wrong. Even if a sow can climb a tree, she can't possibly know the answer. Haha! "
Hearing everyone's teasing, although he knew that no one meant any harm, Jiang Danian still trembled slightly, and his head drooped again, deeply buried in his neck, lower than before. His bright eyes dimmed, and he thought to himself with self-pity: "Yes, everyone is right, he can't even tell left from right, so what can he do even if he knows the answer?"
"Enough!" Xu Yan shouted, "Jiang Danian can't tell left from right, but so what? This only shows that his sense of direction is a little poor, it doesn't prove that he is not good in other aspects." As he spoke, Xu Yan encouraged Jiang Danian, "Da Nian, do you know the answer? If you do, just say it. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. It's not shameful to make mistakes, but it's shameful to have no ideas and just laugh at others!"
With Xu Yan's encouragement, Jiang Danian raised his head again, looked at Xu Yan gratefully, and said, "The answer is C, black, black bear."
"That's right, the answer is C, black, black bear." As soon as Jiang Danian finished speaking, Xu Yan said loudly: "Da Nian, how did you calculate it? Tell us!"
"No way, how did you calculate this?"
"I don't know, let's hear what he says."
When everyone saw Jiang Danian's answer , they began to discuss in a low voice again and looked at him curiously.
Jiang Danian bit his lower lip and said, "The trap is 19.617 meters deep, and the falling time is exactly 2 seconds. We can calculate the gravitational acceleration g=9.8085. From the gravitational acceleration, we can know that the latitude of the trap is about . According to the geographical distribution of bears, there are no bears in the southern hemisphere, so we can know that the trap is at 44 degrees north latitude..."
Jiang Danian spoke intermittently. He was a little timid at first, but then he spoke more and more fluently. Seeing that everyone was staring at him, he paused and continued, "Since the ground trap is designed for bears, it means the bears should be terrestrial bears. Most terrestrial bears have poor eyesight and find it difficult to distinguish traps, so they fall into traps easily. So the answers are brown bears, American black bears, and Asian black bears. Since the question only mentions brown bears and black bears, there are only these two answers left."
"Since the trap is 19.617 meters deep, the soil must be alluvial matrix, which makes it easy to dig. Although brown bears have a geographical distribution, they are mostly found in high altitude areas. They are fierce and dangerous to hunt. In addition, they are not as valuable as black bears, because bear paws and gallbladders are generally obtained from black bears, and the geographical distribution of black bears and brown bears does not overlap. Therefore, the correct answer to this question is that the bear that fell into the trap was black."
Everyone was stunned, as if they were listening to a foreign language. Although they didn't know whether what he said was right or not, it did sound reasonable. It's just that his knowledge was too broad!
Bang!
Xu Yanke ignored what everyone was thinking. After Jiang Danian finished speaking, he gave him applause without hesitation. While affirming and praising Jiang Danian's perfect answer, he also attracted everyone's attention.
"Da Nian has already given the answer, and the explanation is very detailed. The answer is a black bear." As he spoke, Xu Yan stared at Luo Yifei and said, "What else do you have to say now!"
"This...these knowledge points have already exceeded the scope of high school knowledge!" Luo Yifei explained.
"Which point is beyond the scope of high school knowledge? Gravitational acceleration? Longitude and latitude? Or soil distribution? Or the regional distribution of bears of different colors?" Xu Yan snorted and said, "This knowledge is all covered in the physics and geography textbooks of junior high and high school. What else do you have to say!"
Just when Xu Yan was about to seize the opportunity to capture Luo Yifei and become the leader of the third squad, a shout suddenly came from outside, "Xu Yan, get out here!"
