Tackle These Three Tests (Posted on 2005-08-07) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Arthur, Bert and Charles took three exams. In all exams, the first got X points, the second Y points, and the third Z points, X, Y and Z being positive integers such that X>Y>Z.

Summing the three results, Albert got 20 points; Bert, 10; and Charles, 9. Albert was 2nd in Algebra. Who was 2nd in Geometry?

(In reply to re: Solution assuming that Albert is Arthur's real name... by Bob Smith)

But the problem says "in ALL exams..." so X, Y, and Z, cannot change...
