Chapter 177 Catherine’s Method

In reality, Audrey didn’t need to go back for Catherine. Catherine had already received the news from the video surveillance. She was resting, not sleeping.

When she saw how proud Audrey was as she showed off to the Parkers on the video feed, Catherine couldn’t help but smile. She couldn’t believe that she had such a sister. If it weren’t for their DNA, she might have questioned it.

Audrey had just left the hippo enclosure when she saw Catherine heading her way. Audrey couldn’t contain her excitement. She began waving and shouting, “Kathy, I’m over here!”

At the same time, the viewers kept sending comments.

[I don’t see many animals in the zoo. But I see plenty of clowns.]

[Haha. Audrey is just too funny.]

[Is it acceptable for female celebrities to be so unconcerned about their image these days?]

[Sorry. Audrey might be planning to pursue a comedy career. I’m her dedicated fan.]

As Kim watched this scene unfold on the screen, he couldn’t help but facepalm and wipe the sweat off his forehead. Kim was always brilliant. But he wondered how he ended up with such a quirky actress.

The crew members couldn’t contain their laughter at Audrey’s cuteness but Catherine continued to walk forward with a calm expression. She was unaffected by Audrey’s antics.

Perhaps Audrey had realized her behavior was childish. When Catherine approached her, she smiled awkwardly and asked, “Kathy, was I a bit too childish?”

Catherine calmly looked at Audrey with a serious expression as she replied, Not at all.”

With just three simple words, she made Audrey ecstatic. She didn’t care how others perceived her. As long as Catherine said it was fine, it was fine.

Then Audrey said, “By the way, Kathy, how are you so clever? You managed to find the hippo enclosure on your own. Did it take you a long time? This place is pretty hard to locate, isn’t it?”

Catherine thought, “Hard to locate?”

Catherine frowned and glanced at the nearby signs. Then she thought, “Is it that hard to find?

“Any regular person should be able to find this place.”

Audrey didn’t catch the meaning of Catherine’s expression as she was focused on seeking help.

“Kathy, we’re just one step away from meeting my idol now. Please help me quickly. Without any tools, how can we measure this hippo’s weight?”

After that, Audrey couldn’t resist complaining about the show. She said, ” This director is annoying. He comes up with these challenging tasks for us every day. It’s annoying!”

With her pouting and adorable appearance, Audrey was endearing. After circling the hippo enclosure with Audrey, Catherine found the hippo’s keeper.

“Can you bring the hippo over here?”

The keeper remembered the director’s instructions that as long as she did not reveal the hippo’s weight, she should try her best to assist with other requests from the guests. Among all the requests, Catherine’s was probably the easiest. She readily agreed.

“No problem.”

Everyone stared at Catherine while Audrey stood nearby, full of anticipation. Audrey was waiting for Catherine’s solution.

Audrey didn’t seem worried at all. It was as if the outcome had already been decided. As Catherine looked at Audrey’s expression with her beautiful eyes, she smiled slightly.

“But what if my plan doesn’t work?”

“That’s impossible. You’re so clever,” Audrey responded without hesitation. Audrey looked at Catherine with determination and earnestness.

Catherine didn’t want to let her down. Catherine instructed the keeper to guide the hippo into the water pool. It had sufficient depth to accommodate the entire hippo.

Once the hippo settled in the water pool, Catherine had someone measure the water level rise caused by the hippo’s presence. She calculated the volume of the risen water by subtracting the original water level from the elevated one.

At this moment, most viewers started their calculations as they had already guessed Catherine’s calculation method.

Just as everyone was still calculating, Catherine confidently announced the result.

“1.35 tons.”

Everyone was left dumbfounded. All cameras focused on Catherine. Many had been trying to calculate alongside her.

However, Catherine had already provided the final result, even before anyone could figure out which formula to use for the calculation, This was impressive. The viewers began sending comments.

[Oh, my God. Is this girl a talent? She calculated so quickly. I haven’t even found my pen yet!]

[Is this for real? She just randomly threw out a number. I’ve studied mental math, and I’m not that fast.]

[1.35 tons for a single hippo? It’s so heavy. Forgive me for my lack of knowledge, but she’s impressive. She is beautiful and intelligent…]

There were all kinds of discussions, which created a lively and noisy atmosphere. After Catherine calculated her answer, Audrey stared at Catherine with admiration.

“Kathy, how are you so amazing?

You’re fantastic! How did you calculate that?”

She behaved like Catherine’s devoted fan. Catherine thought that explaining this to Audrey might take quite some time. So, Catherine pursed her lips, gave a faint smile, and calmly looked at her.

“Why don’t you talk to the keeper about the actual weight? She’s constantly monitoring and should know their weight.”

Audrey frowned and looked at Catherine with a serious expression. ” Can that work?” After receiving a confirmation, Audrey confidently walked over to the keeper.

Seeing her approach, the keeper had an inkling of what was coming. She greeted Audrey with a polite but embarrassed smile.

“Miss Swann, I can’t do anything about the director’s arrangements.”

When the production team planned the game, they intended to have the guests engage the keeper.

The keeper was supposed to reveal the answer reluctantly to create the desired dramatic effect. However, they never expected Catherine. To everyone’s surprise, Catherine was so impressive.

Audrey glared at the keeper fiercely. However, she knew that the keeper was in a predicament as well. “Fine. I’ll let you off this time, but hurry up and tell me the hippo’s weight. Otherwise, you’ll be held accountable as well.”

“Okay. I’ll tell you.” Under Audrey’s threat, the keeper dared not conceal the truth. “The hippo in front of us is an adult, and its current weight is about 1.4 tons. It’s quite a fit and young hippo.”

The result Catherine had calculated was 1.35 tons. It was not far off from what the keeper reported. After all, absolute precision was impossible to measure with water.

However, Catherine managed to come up with such a method and calculate the answer in such a short time. It was impressive.

After hearing this, Audrey couldn’t contain her joy and rushed up to Catherine. She placed her hands on Catherine’s shoulders and exclaimed excitedly, Oh, my God. Catherine, you’re truly incredible. I knew you could do it, but you’re incredibly smart!” IT

After that, Audrey suddenly realized her hands were still on Catherine’s shoulders.

Catherine didn’t like physical contact. It was a fact Audrey had come to understand through their interactions.

Audrey’s hands quickly withdrew. She looked at Catherine apologetically and said, “Kathy, I didn’t mean to do that. I was just too excited. I promise that next time I won’t do it. Are you okay?”
