Advanced Members Bryan Posted February 23, 2017 Advanced Members Share Posted February 23, 2017 Lauren Ace Reporter, who was a little backward, was sent to cover a billiards tourney. Since she wanted to do a good job, she rounded up some human interest facts to make her story a little more interesting. Lauren gathered the following information: 1. The men competing were named Jack, Tom, Sam, Zac, and Timmy. 2. Tom had once beaten the winner at tennis. 3. Jack and Timmy frequently played cards together. 4. Zac's finish ahead of Timmy was totally unexpected. 5. The man who was finished fourth left the tournament after his match and did not see the last two games. 6. The winner had not met the man who came in fifth prior to the day of the tournament. 7. The winner and runner up had never met until Zac introduced them just before the final game. When Lauren returned to her office she found that she had forgotten the order in which the men had finished, but she was able to figure it out from the information provided.Can you figure it out? First : Second : Third : Fourth : Fifth : If you get it right, I will give you 3,000 xats. You have till March 1!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The men competing were named Jack, Tom, Sam, Zac, and Timmy. 2. Tom had once beaten the winner at tennis. 3. Jack and Timmy frequently played cards together. 4. Zac's finish ahead of Timmy was totally unexpected. 5. The man who was finished fourth left the tournament after his match and did not see the last two games. 6. The winner had not met the man who came in fifth prior to the day of the tournament. 7. The winner and runner up had never met until Zac introduced them just before the final game. Just going off of the info: 2. Automatically shows Tom can't be the winner. 3. Jack and Timmy don't occupy spots 1 & 5 or 1 & 2. 4. Timmy isn't the winner. Zac can't be 5th. 5. Zac doesn't occupy 4th. 6. Tom can't be 5th. 7. Zac isn't the winner, runner up, 4th, or 5th because he finished ahead of Timmy, so he's 3rd. Tom can't be the runner up either, so he's fourth. Timmy finished behind Zac, so he's 5th. Jack had known Timmy, so he's not the winner. He's 2nd, so Sam is the winner. 1. Sam 2. Jack 3. Zac 4. Tom 5. Timmy 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members Isa Posted March 3, 2017 Advanced Members Share Posted March 3, 2017 Zac: He can't be the first place or 2nd place cause he was the one who introduced them. He can't be the fourth cause he left before the game ended, he introduced the winners so he was there at the time they won. He finished head of Timmy, so he can't be the fifth (last one), with that being said we know that he didn't finish 1st or 2nd he didn't finished 4th and he can't finished last so we conclude he finished 3rd. Tom: It is stated he once bit the winner, so that means he is not the 1st place. He knew the winner cause they've played before so he can't finish on 2nd place nor 5th. Since Zac already has the 3rd place, this means he is the 4th. Timmy: Zac finished ahead of him on 3rd place, and 4th place is already taken by tom, so this means that he finished on 5th. Jack: Jack and Timmy knew each other before the game, there for since Timmy finished 5th, and the 1st player dind't know the player that ended up on 5th, with this we conclude Jack finished in 2nd. Sam: He's the only one left, therefore, he is the winner :). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
