As there's no possibility that they will be in the top three overall if they couldn't be the top three of their own race. 15 ducks. Race 3 times, again, eliminating the 2 slowest. 9 ducks. race 2 times, eliminating 2 from the first race, and then including the 3rd place of the first race into the second race, then eliminating the two slowest from that. 5 ducks. Race them. 11 races --- End quote --- it does solve it faster than most others, as eating 22 ducks takes a while, and racing them is so much easier --- Quote from: Shift Kitty on August 15, 2017, 02:46:38 PM ---25 ducks.

but that still doesnt handle the case the top 3 are in the first group whats the 7th race? |
