[Puzzler] 1 on 1 B-Ball tourney

Postby Mike » Fri Aug 24, 2018 9:16 am

A, B, and C play a series of one-on-one basketball games. In each game, two of them face off while the third player rests. The resting player then faces the winner of that game while the loser of the last game rests. They repeat this until they are tired of it

In the end, A played in 8 games,
B played in 11 games, and
C played in 15 games.

Who lost the 4th game?

Do we assume that A played in the first game?
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to roll an 8."

We don't assume that.

Zen so smart!

Exactly correct.

If anyone wants a minor hint without getting the full reveal from Zen's white text, I'll post something up in just a bit.

Just a little hint:
