[ContrastTeamInADadW/BabyShow] Chapter 105.1 — Go To School

Seeing that Lin Momo had made a mistake in her last calculation, the ‘parents’ who had been calmly watching their child do their homework on the livestream immediately became agitated:

[Wrong, wrong!]

[Momo, you’re wrong. Your answer to the problem is wrong. How can 148 divided by a 7 be greater than 148?]

[The answer should be approximately 21.14. Momo, you put the decimal point in the wrong place.]

[Momo, fix it quickly.]

..….

At this moment, the audience in the livestream was frantic, as if they couldn’t wait to jump through the screen to help Lin Momo correct this problem.

Unfortunately, Lin Momo couldn’t see the comments in the livestream at this moment.

[Oh my god, I’m so anxious, what should I do?]

[Momo, please spot the problem quickly!]

… …

Fortunately, Lin Momo glanced at the previous problem by habit before moving on to the next one and noticed something was wrong.

“This doesn’t seem right…” Lin Momo muttered to herself.

She wasn’t very good at math problems involving numbers that couldn’t be divided evenly.

So, Lin Momo carefully calculated again on her scratch paper, only to discover the problem and move the decimal point to the correct place.

After confirming her answer was correct, Lin Momo began working on the next math problem.

Next problem: 2+8*2

… …

[10.]

[No, it should be 18.]

[That’s right, multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction, so it should be 18.]

Everyone subconsciously stared at the pen in Lin Momo’s hand, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her write ’18’ after the equal sign.

… …

Next problem: 33÷3-7

[Four, four, four, the answer is 4.]

… …

For the next few minutes, each time Lin Momo finished a problem, the barrage in her livestream would quickly fill the screen with answers.

Unfortunately, Lin Momo couldn’t see everyone’s answers.

Fortunately, Lin Momo was quite fast at math, and she didn’t make any more mistakes.

… …

[Momo is pretty fast at solving problems, after all.] ]

[She’s pretty good at math, too.]

[She’s better than my cousin’s naughty kid. Every time I see him doing his homework and getting everything wrong, I feel like beating him up.]

[Haha, there’s nothing we can do about it, Momo’s so smart.]

[It seems high IQ is hereditary.]

… …

After Lin Momo finished her math problems, she moved on to fill-in-the-blank exercises.

The fill-in-the-blanks weren’t difficult, and Lin Momo quickly finished all ten.

Finally, it was time for word problems.

The first one: [The school playground is 50 meters long and 30 meters wide. Xiao Ming ran around the playground three times. How many meters did he run per lap?]

This wasn’t difficult. Lin Momo used the method the teacher taught her: she drew a rectangle below the problem, marked the lengths, and then wrote down the formula (50+30)*2*3. She quickly figured out the answer: 480 meters.

However, when it came to the second question, Lin Momo was stumped: [Xiao Ming is 500 meters behind Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua’s speed is 50 meters per minute, and Xiao Ming’s speed is 75 meters per minute. How many meters did Xiao Hua travel by the time Xiao Ming caught up with her?]

Lin Momo wasn’t very good at this kind of question. She scribbled and calculated on scratch paper for a long time but couldn’t come up with the answer.

… …

Watching the time tick by, even the audience in the livestream channel couldn’t help but feel anxious for her:

[If you don’t know how to do it, just do the next ones first. Don’t keep trying to solve the same problem.]

[Yes! Just skip the questions you don’t know. Don’t waste time.]

[That’s right. If you keep trying to solve every question you don’t know, what will happen during the exam?]

At that moment, the audience in the livestream channel seemed to have transformed into the stern ‘cloud parents’.

Fortunately, just as Lin Momo had drawn nearly a page full of stick figures on her draft paper, she finally figured out the answer. Later, Lin Momo used the answer to reverse engineer the formula.

[Finally, it worked.]

[I’m so anxious.]

[Watching Lin Momo do her homework is like watching my own little beast do it. My blood pressure often spikes.]

[Haha, I don’t have kids yet, but thanks to the show, I’m getting a taste of parenting.]

[I never thought I’d have a day like this. I was supposed to be watching a show, but it turned into supervising my child’s homework. What’s even scarier is that I actually get really hung up on it.]

[Me too]

Lin Momo finished the last word problem smoothly, but then got stuck again on the bonus question at the end.

It was a picture-guessing problem:

The picture above shows six rectangular parking spaces with numbers written underneath [16-06-68-88-? -98]. The fifth one is blocked by a car, so you can’t see it. The question is to find a pattern and guess the number of the fifth parking space.

Lin Momo tried every permutation—addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—but still couldn’t find a pattern in the string of numbers. Finally, she looked at Lin Cheng with a pleading look.

“Are you distracted again?” Lin Cheng asked, having looked up and seeing her expression.

“No, there’s one question I can’t answer.”

“Is it the… bonus question at the end?” Lin Xiao asked, carefully biting off the word ‘strange’.

“Yeah,” Lin Momo nodded, then added, “I can do the others, except for this one?”

“What does the reference answer say?” Lin Cheng asked.

It was only yesterday that Lin Cheng noticed that several small workbooks had reference answers among Lin Momo’s books.

“Hmm, there’s nothing in it about that…”

For many of the more difficult questions, the reference answers simply had the word ‘omitted’ written on them, and nothing more after that.

Perhaps the questions were so bizarre that the person who created them didn’t know the exact answers, so they omitted them.

Lin Qi grumbled inwardly, then walked over to Lin Momo’s desk.
