How many people were there in each lecture theater?
Three examiners, 50 new students, and 50 outstanding students. Then there were 1,000 patrolling students and 300 patrolling examiners.
In theory, an examinee could get 1,403 votes at most. However, that was just the theoretical situation. It was impossible to do that in real life.
How big was the Guangling Academy's teaching building?
There were a total of six floors, and 100 lecture theaters were used for the examination. This meant that a total of 100 examinees were taking the examination at the same time.
In that one hour, the patrolling examiners and students would go around and check things out. They wouldn't be able to go through all the examinees. Therefore, to ensure a sufficient coverage scale, the patrolling examiners and students would be split into small groups and would start off from different locations.
