--- Quote from: phflack on August 15, 2017, 07:46:10 PM ---good idea, but instead of racing 3 times, you can race the fastest of each of the 5 groups against eachother the 2 that lose can have their whole group eliminated and you also find the fastest of the fastest --- End quote --- Oh, true. That reduces it down to 9. --- Quote from: Conan on August 15, 2017, 07:52:01 PM ---but that still doesnt handle the case the top 3 are in the first group whats the 7th race? --- End quote --- The same as the rest of my post. As there's still just 9 ducks left. --- Code: --- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 eliminate 1, 2, 6, 7, 11, 12, 16, 17, 21, 22 5 10 15 20 25 eliminate 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 13 14 15 18 19 eliminate 13, 14 15 20 23 24 25 eliminate 15, 20 18 19 23 24 25 --- End code --- my work |
