Brianna had wrapped up her answers.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She got stuck on questions neen and twenty, so she just left them nk and flipped back through the test. She managed to nail question four, but the second part of question five was a head-scratcher, so she skipped it. Time was ticking away, and thirteen minutes had already flown by.


    Both remaining sections still had eight questions unsolved. At the University of Maple Grove, six questions were still up in the air. Over at Imperial College, they had five left. However, the answers Imperial College provided were nearly wless, almost perfect. On the other hand, the University of Maple Grove had some correct answers, but missed steps would cost them points.


    Two more minutes ticked by, and Imperial College cracked another question! That was their limit, though; they decided to throw in the towel on the remaining four. Meanwhile, the University of Maple Grove was stuck in a rut. These programming application questions were brutal if you didn''t know the ropes.


    Brianna was about to burst into tears, angry at herself for not being able to figure it out. Jules was watching from above, probably disappointed in her performance... Ivan and Maddox didn''t look too happy either. But this was expected; the Computer Science department at the University of Maple Grove just couldn''tpete with Imperial College.


    "Are you guys giving up?" Flora asked with a smirk, her eyes half-closed as she looked at them.


    "Stop being so snarky!" Brianna snapped, even more frustrated.


    Yeah, they couldn''t solve it! But what gave Flora the right to say anything when she hadn''t answered a single question herself?


    "Getting mad every day is going to make you ugly, you know," Flora shot her a nce, then straightened up in front of herputer and picked up a pen. She still had thatid-back vibe, but her hand started moving quickly across the writing pad, jotting down form after form.


    "She... solved it!" Maddox''s eyes went wide in disbelief.


    Brianna was stunned. Flora had cracked the very question Brianna had been banging her head against. But with Flora''s straightforward approach, everything suddenly clicked.


    "Holy cow! That''s the question! I stared at it forever and had no idea how to even start! Flora nailed it!"


    The crowd watching the big screen erupted in cheers! The teachers from various colleges were nodding in approval. Flora''s solution was indeed impressive. This question, being the toughest of the twenty, showcased Flora''s solid grasp of the material, putting her ahead of ny percent of Computer Science students.


    "She knew the answer all along, why didn''t she solve it earlier? Just to show off?"


    "Didn''t you hear how Brianna was talking to her earlier? Everyone''s got their pride. If someone spoke to me like that, I wouldn''t feel like answering either."


    "This is such a nail-biter! There''s only three minutes left! No matter how good Flora is, she can''t possibly solve more than three questions in three minutes, right?"


    "Exactly, the University of Maple Grove could''ve won, but Flora''s stubbornness blew it..."


    The gap between University of Maple Grove and Imperial College was significant. For the University of Maple Grove to win, they needed to solve three questions perfectly without losing any points, which was nearly impossible.


    Application programming questions areplicated; even if you''re just copying answers, three questions would take more than three minutes because the diagrams and forms are so intricate. "Wait, what''s up with the form Flora wrote? It looks so weird."


    Some people noticed the new form Flora had scribbled down. Even a few seasoned coaches had never seen such an unusual form. Mr. Jurado suddenly sat up straight.
