At the Olympic Games (1) (Posted on 2003-10-07) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Three reporters were discussing the hockey results. The TV reporter said "Either Brazil won gold, or Chile won silver, but not both." The radio reporter similarly started to say "Either Argentine won silver, or Chile won …", but a sudden noise cut him off.

The press reporter, who was lucky enough to hear the complete sentence, could reason out the final order of the three countries. What was it?

Silverknight is right insofar as he states that I forgot about the option "Chile won bronze, or both". I did mean silver when I wrote silver, though, I just forgot about the third possibility.
In any case, we all agree on the right answer. Kudos to us.
