The Tsinghua University team named the elephant as an underperforming elephant with a spring bullet

On TV a few days ago, I watched the Spring Festival show called The elephant competition held by CCTV's whimsical topic. Four teams participated in the competition (Google search on the Internet, with a message saying that there were 10 teams in total ): network Team, Tsinghua University team (hereinafter referred to as Tsinghua), dark horse team, family team.
Let's take a look at the methods of the Tsinghua team. The initial idea was to find a truck, first idling at a constant speed for a period of time, claiming the amount of fuel consumed, and then getting stuck with an elephant driving at the same speed for a period of time, claiming the amount of fuel consumed, to calculate the image weight.
Because it is difficult to find a road that allows trucks to drive at a constant speed, the Tsinghua team's method was changed to: Put the elephant in an iron cage and use a crane to lift it. First, there is a spring on each side of the iron cage, let the iron cage hit the spring, use the stopwatch to calculate the Single Pendulum cycle of the iron cage, and then take the two plates with the spring, let the iron cage swing freely, calculate the Single Pendulum cycle, and then calculate the image weight.
Regardless of the calculation result, the Tsinghua team's method is not in line with the competition requirements: no spring scales are used, but only springs are used.
In addition to the failure of the Black Horse team to complete the competition, the biggest deviation between the weighing result and the actual value is Tsinghua.
Why is the weighing result of Tsinghua team the largest deviation from the actual value?
I think the methods adopted by Tsinghua have high requirements on the environment and equipment accuracy ,. For example, when the metering period is single pendulum, the elephant's activity in the iron cage and the wind speed will affect the Single Pendulum Period of the iron cage. While the metering method uses the visual inspection and Stopwatch, it also brings errors. This method works in a dedicated lab, but it is obviously not suitable for outdoor environments like the competition scene.
During the competition, when the Tsinghua team made the necessary equipment in the factory, the factory's masters expressed doubts about the methods of the Tsinghua team.
The methods used by the Tsinghua team are not in line with the actual environment. In a sense, they reflect the disconnection between teaching in colleges and the actual application of society.
It reminds me of the difference between Chinese programmers and Indian programmers. Chinese programmers may be too algorithm-focused in school education, so when they get the software design task, no matter how many people are there, they will concentrate on algorithm optimization, programmers in India will first learn how to configure the computer hardware that runs the software. If the software is configured, program stability will be given priority.
A few days ago, I saw an article in the reference News newspaper (see: related information on Google 2), saying that the Japanese saw India as the second "World Factory" after China ", while Indians believe that India will become the "World office ".
In the wave of globalization, China seized the opportunity of "blue-collar industry" transfer and became the world's manufacturing center, that is, the world's factory. India has quietly seized the opportunity of the "white-collar industry" transfer, using its official language as English, its language accessibility and ease of communication advantages, coupled with its development in the information industry, in particular, the world's leading position in software technology should be "the world Office (so that offices around the world are using Indian software ?) ".
Tsinghua University is one of the top universities in China. Although the members of the participating Tsinghua team are not necessarily the most outstanding students of Tsinghua University, they are also representative. I wonder whether graduates of Chinese universities headed by Tsinghua and Peking University are willing to be blue-collar in the "World Factory" or white-collar in the "World office?
