1979年,诺贝尔奖获得者李政道教授到中国科技大学讲学,他给少年班的同学出了这样一道算术题:有5只猴子在海边发现一堆桃子,决定第二天来平分.第二天清晨,第一只猴子最早来到,它左分右分分不开,就朝海里扔了一只,恰好可以分成5份,它拿上自己的一份走了.第2,3,4,5只猴子也遇到同样的问题,采用了同样的方法,都是扔掉一只后,恰好可以分成5份.问这堆桃子至少有多少只.据说没有一个同学能当场做出答案.李教授说用常见的方法计算很繁,问题的关键在于打破常规思维. 。 -In 1979, Nobel Prize winner Professor Li Zhengdao to the China University of Technology lecture, he gave the young students out of class so an arithmetic question: There are five monkeys found a pile of peaches at the beach and decided to split the next day. The next morning The first monkeys first came, it left sub-sub-inseparable from the right, toward the sea to throw one, just can be divided into five copies, it takes a walk on their own. No. 2,3,4,5 monkeys also encountered the same problem, using the same method, are thrown away after one, just can be divided into five copies. ask this pile of peaches at least how many. It is said there is no answer that students can make the spot. Professor Lee that the common method used is very complex, the problem lies in breaking the conventional thinking..
