On the third day after the results were available, which was the last day of October, the Xingnan Mathematics Association announced the list of provincial award winners for this year's National High School Mathematics League.
A total of 81 first prize winners. This year, the Huaxia Mathematics Society allocated 32 spots for Xingnan Province. It seems quite a lot but actually four fewer than last year.
There's no other way, each province's spots fluctuate based on their past few performances in the finals.
In other words, only the top 32 students in the first prize can form the provincial team and participate in November's winter camp, or rather, the upcoming national contest. Just as Qiao Yu mentioned after his exam, he ranked first in Xingnan Province, but not tied for first.
Unfortunately, even though he thought the questions were easy, another lucky person did not appear.
