Hints
Solution
Incorrect
Too bad.
Use what you know to narrow down which balls could belong to each player.
Correct
Correct!
- US Version
We know that A had to have scored a 30, a 25, a 5, and a 2. Additionally, by looking at all possible three-ball, 12-point combinations that take the score from 50 to 62, and by excluding A's 2 from these combinations, the one who hit the bull's eye must have scored a 5.
Two balls hit the 5-point area, one of which was A's, so only B could have got the 50-point score.
