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?

not enough info | Comment 6 of 9 |

there isnt enough info in the puzzle to solve it without making assumptions.  Puzzle doesnt say what the maximum number of points is available for each test, so we're assuming the max # of points is 13.  We're also assuming that 0 is a possible score b/c it doesnt say that either.
