At the Olympic Games (2) (Posted on 2003-10-09)

After the fencing competitions, the radio reporter commented “Denmark won silver, and/or Spain won gold.”

The TV reporter said “Denmark won bronze, and/or France won ...” but an ovation from the public drowned his comment.

The press reporter, showing again his good sense of hearing, managed to hear the whole sentence, and was able to deduce the final standings. What where they?

If the TV reporter had said that France won gold or bronze, in both cases there would have been two different possible solutions so he must have have said France won silver, which only allows for Spain gold, France silver and Denmark bronze.
