Hockey


This solution was submitted by Wymondham High School who reasoned their solution in the following way:

To start off we tried to work out the logical answers. For example where it says 'D had no points', it was obvious they had neither a win or a draw.

Then we found out that 'For' and 'Against' columns must add up to the same number. In the end we put 4 in the 'For' column and 2 in the 'Against' column.

At one point we worked out the results to each match. These were:

A v B 0 - 2 B v C 2 - 2 C v D not played
A v C 2 - 2 B v D 1 - 0
A v D 2 - 0

Here is the finished table of results:

Team Played Won Drawn Lost For Against Points
A 3 1 1 1 4 4 3
B 3 2 1 0 5 2 5
C 2 0 2 0 4 4 2
D 2 0 0 2 0 3 0

Correct solutions to the problem were also sent in by:
Daniel and David from Archbishop Sancroft High School, Mary from West Flegg Middle School, Ruth from Lynn Grove High School, and students from Necton Middle School and Sheringham High School.
