Chapter 8 Monkey Picking Peach

"The second question, the five monkeys picked a bunch of peaches together. Because they were too tired, they decided to sleep first and then divide it. After a few days, a monkey came. Seeing that other monkeys had not come, it divided the pile of peaches into five portions. As a result, one more was added, and then ate the extra one and took away one of them. After a few days, the second monkey also came. It didn't know that a companion had arrived, and thought that it was the first one to arrive, so it piled up the peaches on the ground and divided them into five portions. It found that one more was also eaten. The third, fourth, and fifth monkeys were like this. So how many peaches did these five monkeys pick at least? How many peaches were left after the fifth monkey left?"

This question is much more difficult than the one just now.

Xu Jun browed and locked her eyebrows. She wanted to crack it, but she was at a loss. She could only use trial calculation method and her brain ran rapidly.

"I have already had results in this second question, 3121. Humph, if you don't believe it, you can check it."

He said to Liu Meng.

She was completely a conceited little girl who lost her temper and was extremely proud.

"The answer is correct, Xu Jun, your talent is indeed much stronger than Ah Dai and me. You have the most hope of becoming a scholar." Li Hai said in surprise.

Zhao Dai looked at it stupidly, he was completely confused by the topic.

Liu Meng ate the pastry and shook his head slightly.

Xu Jun was displeased, "Why are you shaking your head?"

Li Hai also looked over curiously. Could it be that Liu Meng had seen the answer to this example again? "Mr. Xu, let us descendants of scholars speak out first, and then judge it."

I was looking forward to it and couldn't believe it, this question is very difficult!

"You are trying to calculate it, right? This is a question of understanding the law. It is meaningless to know that only one result is meaningless. Then I want to ask you, are there any other answers besides this 3121? What is the answer?"

After understanding the rules, Liu Meng immediately entered the state of super, awesome, god-level, and academic master.

Xu Jun argued: "This question asks about the smallest number of peaches. I tried to calculate from the beginning, and 3121 is definitely the smallest number. I solved this question correctly regardless of whether it is calculated."

The little girl is very proud. This question is much more difficult than the one just now.

"If you just pursue an answer, then you lose the function of discussing the topic." Liu Menggaba bit a winter date.

"What qualifications do you have to say to me? When you encounter an example, you really think you are so powerful? Do you know other answers? Haha, how much level of calculation power do you have?"

Li Hai observed quietly.

Liu Meng licked his mouth, burped, breathed comfortably, and said, "The result can be 6246,9371,12496,15621,18746,21871,24996,28121,..., the number of conditions that meet, I can tell as much as you need."

When Liu Meng said that, Xu Jun was verifying the calculations. I have to say that her calculation speed was indeed very fast. She verified the three numbers in succession correctly. Her face began to change a little, and finally she turned completely red.

"How did you calculate it?"

Li Hai looked at Liu Meng in shock. This question was difficult and he could even say so many answers, which showed that he must have seen the solution.

"Trial calculation is the stupidest way to solve the problem. If this question changes from 5 to 6, or 7, 11, 13, or even 17, then do you try it the same? If it is more than 100, do you know how huge the minimum number will be? Don't try it out in your life."

Xu Jun's face looked a little ugly. Although he was very unhappy, he had to admit that Liu Meng was right and she had not found the rule to solve the problem.

Li Hai took a breath, relieved from the shock, and said in surprise: "Brother Liu Meng, do you know the real solution to this problem? This is an extremely difficult problem. The rules contained in it are very mysterious. I spent three golden horns to buy it for this question alone. If you add a perfect method to solve the problem, then..."

He swallowed, swallowing, "That's pretty good."

Zhao Dai couldn't understand at all and laughed and said, "Liu Meng is a descendant of a scholar, of course he is amazing."

He said this without any joking intentions, his mind was very simple.

Xu Jun also eagerly hoped to hear how Liu Meng solved the problem and not dared to say sour words. If he annoyed others, the loss would be too great.

Liu Meng said slowly: "Take 5 monkeys to divide peaches as an example, the problem is that each time you divide it, it can be understood that 4 peaches are missing. First lend them 4 peaches before dividing them. Although there are 4 more peaches, the number of peaches each monkey will not increase, and of course it will not decrease. In this way, it will be easy to divide them into 5 piles every time, so it is easy to forget."

The three of them were confused.

"That is to say, there are 4 peaches that can be divided by 5 times multiplied squares of 5, so there are at least 3125. If you return the borrowed 4 peaches, you can see that 5 monkeys have picked at least 3121, so the number of other conditions that meet the conditions is to subtract 4 from the integer multiple of 3125, which is the general solution to this problem."

Xu Jun jumped up suddenly, and suddenly she suddenly opened her hair, "It's that simple?"

"It's that simple." Liu Meng shrugged, the key is thinking ability, that is, the law.

Li Hai also understood and said excitedly: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at this question. I've been thinking about it for more than a month and have already tried to calculate the result of 3121. I didn't expect that there is such a concise algorithm. It's so clever. It's so clever. Genius, it's really a genius."

Liu Meng nodded and thought to himself that I am of course a genius. Unexpectedly, Li Hai said next: "The person who thought of this solution must be a super genius. Liu Meng, where did you see the solution?"

Xu Jun's face turned red with excitement. The solution to this question inspired her a lot. If you study it in depth, you can improve the level of computing power a little. There is nothing happier than this.

Unbelievable! Shocking!

Seeing that the two of them were excited, Liu Meng blurted out and asked, "Are there any other slightly more difficult examples?"

He wants to confirm his strength.

He said that you were fat and panting, Xu Jun widened his eyes and said angrily: "Yes, there are so many more difficult examples in this Wisdom Palace, and you can solve them."

Li Hai also felt that Liu Meng's words were too arrogant, and he still said gentlely: "Liu Meng is extremely talented, and it's a pity to stay in our study group. Many scholars in the Wisdom Palace offer rewards to the problem. You can try it. If you answer it, it's amazing."

Xu Jun curled his lips, giggled twice, staring at Liu Meng, you should go.

Liu Meng said: "If I have time, I will try it. If I can't solve it, it's always good to try it."

"Tsk, go, go now, let us know if you answer it and let me worship you."
