  1. Riley, Ricardo and Reuben each fired six shots, and each got 71 points.
  2. Riley's first two shots scored 22 points and Ricardo’s first shot scored only 3 points.
  3. The scores for the 18 shots were as follows:
                  50-----1
                  25-----2
                  20-----3
                  10-----3
                  05-----2
                  03-----2
                  02-----2
                  01-----3

All six sets of three possible scores of 71 in six shots are actually the same--just the six permutations of the three sets:

 50  10  5  3  2  1
 25  20  20  3  2  1
 25  20  10  10  5  1

 50  10  5  3  2  1
 25  20  10  10  5  1
 25  20  20  3  2  1

 25  20  20  3  2  1
 50  10  5  3  2  1
 25  20  10  10  5  1

 25  20  20  3  2  1
 25  20  10  10  5  1
 50  10  5  3  2  1

 25  20  10  10  5  1
 50  10  5  3  2  1
 25  20  20  3  2  1

 25  20  10  10  5  1
 25  20  20  3  2  1
 50  10  5  3  2  1

Only the  25  20  20  3  2  1 is capable of having 22 in two shots, and the only remaining one with a 3 is  50  10  5  3  2  1, who must be Ricardo, who thus has the 50.
