In the operating theater, the circulating nurse broadcasted a piece composed by Franz Liszt, and performed by Li Yundi[1].
The notes from the classical piece lingered in the air, showing how extraordinarily elegant the piano was as an instrument. The atmosphere was so classy that Lu Wenbin dropped the surgical drape.
"Are all hospitals in Shanghai so classy nowadays?" Lu Wenbin pursed his lips. He knew that the nurse broadcasted the piano music for Ling Ran. Nurses who did not know Ling Ran well always simultaneously broadcast classical music in the operating theater for him. It was quite a mystery.
The circulating nurse smiled with her usual expression. She then turned to the left, revealing the left side of her face—it looked better than her right—and asked, "Doctor Ling, what type of music do you like?"

An ancient Chinese math problem. For example: there are 100 chickens and rabbits in total. The chickens have 80 more legs than the rabbits. How many chickens and how many rabbits are there?
By assuming that each chicken is only standing with one leg, and that each rabbit is only standing on their two hind legs, the total number of legs on the ground would only be half the total amount. The number of chickens will then be the same as the number of chicken legs on the ground, while the number of rabbits will be half the number of rabbit legs on the ground. And thus, we can deduce the number of chickens and rabbits from there.
Assume that all the chickens and rabbits have undergone special training. On the first whistle, each of them would lift one leg. On the second whistle, they would lift another leg. At this time, all the chickens would be sitting on the ground, while the rabbits would still be standing on two legs. We can then deduce the number of rabbits based on the number of remaining legs by dividing the number in two.
If one leg was severed from each chicken, and two legs severed from each rabbit, the total amount of legs would be halved. Hence, the number of rabbits could be calculated by deducting the total number of animals from the number of legs.
