The sound resonating in the competition scene has sparked anticipation in many.
Who exactly was the first to solve [Problem G]?
At this moment, even the three students from Imperial Polytechnic University, who were still intensely occupied with this problem, couldn’t help but look up.
A student from Imperial Polytechnic University asked curiously.
This was particularly important to them.
Because if it was a team from a second-tier school or a late first-tier school, then Imperial Polytechnic University still has a chance.
But if it’s one of the schools ranked higher, then things get dicey.
Because the few top-ranked schools do not vary much in their time scores, solving [Problem G] at this time pretty much locks in the champion for this year’s ACM competition.
Many of the participating school teams started to tense up.
Was the champion about to emerge at this moment?
"Congratulations to Mist City Arts and Science University for successfully solving [Problem G], with a time of 1 hour 24 minutes and 09 seconds!"
Accompanying the announcement in the competition scene, a balloon rose behind the position of Mist City Arts and Science University.
Xu Bin finally relaxed his clenched fist. After submitting the program just now, Xu Bin, Chen Jun, and Ouyang Chen were all very tense.
Because if the program runs incorrectly, then Mist City Arts and Science University would not obtain any scores for this problem, essentially missing the championship by a whisker.
At this moment, when the judges’ group of the competition committee announced that Mist City Arts and Science University was the first school to solve [Problem G], whether it was Xu Bin, Chen Jun, or Ouyang Chen, they were all extremely excited.
Ding Yue, sitting in the backstage lounge, could not help but stand up from the sofa and shout excitedly, "Beautiful!"
"Wow, this school is really strong."
"I can’t believe that this privately-owned school from Eastern Xia Country is so impressive."
"What? This is a private school in Xia Country?"
"They are too strong. Mist City Arts and Science University has always performed well in these problems."
"It looks like Mist City Arts and Science University is definitely going to be the champion."
The on-site audience started to discuss excitedly. A majority of them were foreigners, who could not imagine that a privately-owned university from Xia Country, a university they had never heard of before, was most likely to win the championship.
At this moment, some of the Xia students studying abroad started cheering.
"Principal Ding, have we won the championship?"
Wen Ruohan did not understand the competition rules that well, but seeing Mist City Arts and Science University being the first school to solve [Problem G], she thought that they had already won the championship.
Ding Yue seemed relaxed, but he wasn’t completely certain and replied: "It now depends on St. Petersburg State University and California Institute of Technology. Even if Haicheng University of Transportation and Imperial Polytechnic University solve [Problem G] within the given time frame, their time scores will not surpass ours."
The current uncertainty lies with California Institute of Technology and St. Petersburg State University.
If they also quickly solve [Problem G], then it’s uncertain who might be the champion.
Time ticked by, second by second.
On the competition scene, many participating players were intently solving the problem, but until now the judges’ group hadn’t received any submitted programs.
It wasn’t until 1 hour 29 minutes and 33 seconds that Haicheng University of Transportation submitted their program, but the judges’ group deemed it - WA! An incorrect program!
"Question-answering time is over!"
Once the competition committee announced the end of the last question-answering time, everything finally settled.
Although Ding Yue had been excited earlier, at the moment he felt exhilarated but knew he had to keep calm.
"Principal Ding, is it over? Did we win the championship?"
Wen Ruohan asked cautiously, unable to contain her curiosity.
By this time, Huang Youjie could no longer hold back the excitement rising in him, "Hahaha, Xiao Wen, our score is first! The championship is ours!"
The ACM competition committee quickly calculated the total time scores.
That’s right, Mist City Arts and Science University was ranked first!
[National Television Station ’s Science Education Channel Live Room] -
At this moment, the audience in the live room was in an uproar.
Whether they were students of Mist City Arts and Science University or not, all were happy and proud that Mist City Arts and Science University had won the global ACM competition championship.
Because Mist City Arts and Science University is a school in Xia Country. Participating in such a global competition, naturally, represents the education level of universities in Xia Country.
"Awesome! Mist City Arts and Science University is awesome!"
"First! We are the champions!"
"Hahaha, our Mist City Arts and Science University is so strong."
"Damn! Is your Mist City Arts and Science University really so awesome?"
"Incredible, your Mist City Arts and Science University’s Computer Science major is bound to be top-tier in the country!"
"666, only you guys at Mist City Arts and Science University solved this last problem. So strong!"
In the Xia Country’s Mist City, precisely in the campus of Mist City Arts and Science University, many students were staying up late to watch the ACM competition live, despite it being around two in the morning.
