A single-meeting round-robin chess tournament commenced with five players Adrian, Beau, Craig, Damian, and Elliott playing against each other exactly once.
At the end of the tournament Adrian came 1st, Beau came 2nd, Craig came 3rd, Damian came 4th, and Elliott came 5th.
Beau and Elliott shared their impressions as follows:
- Beau: "I am the only one who finished without a single loss."
- Elliott: "I am the only one who did not win a single game."
The rules were:
- A winner got a full point.
- For a draw each opponent got half a point, and:
- The ranking is decided only by looking at the points.
Reconstruct the tournament table from the clues mentioned above.
(In reply to
One way (solution) by Steve Herman)
Steve and I have the same solution except for a flipped win/tie for C vs. D & E respectively. So my comment in my original "solution" is incorrect. Given the assumptions that Steve and I made about A winning with 3 points, there seems to be at least 2 solutions.
