Question

There is a Frisbee Golf course in the local park. Eight friends compete against each other and there is a ‘ladder’ to indicate how well they are doing, updated at the end of each day. Any player can challenge any other player to a game, and if the person lower in the ladder wins, then they move up the ladder to the place directly above the person they have beaten.

On Tuesday, Eric was at the bottom of the ladder, but after beating Faith in the only game on Wednesday he moved up to fifth place.

Answer 1

The highest possible position in the ladder that Faith could be in after the results were entered is the Fifth position.

A Frisbee Golf course is a big arena designed, where Golf is being played and multiple players can participate during a competition.

From the given question;

• On Tuesday; Eric was at the bottom of the ladder.

The criterion was that if a player beats another, that player moves a step up the ladder.

• On Wednesday, Eric beats Faith. This makes Eric move to the fifth position leaving Faith in the sixth position.

On Thursday,

• Beth was beaten by Dave and Eric. It implies that Dave has a point, Eric has a point, and Beth losses two points.

The implication of this is that Eric will move to the fourth position.

• Faith beat Dave, Faith now moves to the fifth position leaving Dave with no points again.
• Hattie beat Faith and Faith moves back to the sixth position.

Therefore, the highest possible position in the ladder that Faith could be in after the results were entered is the sixth position but since the sixth position is not part of the option, we choose a closer position to the sixth which is the fifth position.
