Exams are always relative.
The same test paper, when viewed from different perspectives, elicits a myriad of feelings.
Take Li Zheng for example. After doing the first two mechanics problems, his biggest realization was that this was more like a "Calculus Competition for High School Students."
It couldn't be helped, because mechanics problems are just too classical. It's hard to make any breakthroughs in terms of concepts and thinking, so one has to stir things up on the mathematical front instead.
And from Shi Yang's point of view, it was an entirely different world.
For starters, it had already been 20 minutes since the exam began, and he hadn't even looked at the second problem.
Simply because the problem about "a teacup placed on a table" was somewhat baffling to him—
[What is the optimal height of the tea in the cup to hold as much tea as possible while maintaining sufficient stability?]
What the hell is this question even asking?
