After the close of a soccer season, with four teams (named
A,
B,
C and
D),
the final table was:
TEAM Won Drawn Lost Goals Goals Points
For Against
A 3 0 0 7 1 9
B 1 1 1 2 3 4
C 1 1 1 3 3 4
D 0 0 3 1 6 0
Knowing that the four teams played against each other one time, and that team
A beat team
B 3x0, can you deduce the results of the other five games?
Following are the results of all the matches:
A-B :: 3-0
A-C :: 2-1
A-D :: 2-0
B-C :: 0-0
B-D :: 2-0
C-D :: 2-1
Key to this puzzle lies in finding out which team scored a goal on team A. For the information given it could be team C or D. Try out final scores for both the cases and you will find for D to score a goal on team A, it will result in a tie between team A and D which is not desired, thus the solution posted above remains uniquely correct.
