Five students each answered five questions on an quiz consisting of two multiple-choice questions (A, B or C) and three True-False questions. They answered the questions as follows:

Student Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 
Alex    A  A  T  T  T 
Bert    B  B  T  F  T 
Carl    A  B  T  T  F 
Dave    B  C  T  T  F 
Eddy    C  A  F  T  T 

No two students got the same number of correct answers. Who got the most correct answers?

The only combination that results in each student with a different number of correct answers is:

Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5
B   C   T   F   F

Therefore, the number of correct answers gotten by:
Alex =  1 (Q3);
Bert =  3 (Q1, Q3 & Q4);
Carl =  2 (Q3 & Q5);
Dave = 4 (Q1, Q2, Q3 & Q5); and,
Eddy = 0.
