racers and royals Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) A friend of mine has found this quiz in a 1985 Reading programme. I have no idea who set it but is there no end to this mans talents Does anyone want to exercise their brain box during this lockdown ? Racers line up was 1 John Davis 2 Tim Hunt 3 Jan Andersson 4 Mitch Shirra 5 Per Jonsson 6 Mark Chessell 7 Malc Holloway Quiz read IN a fictitious home British league match the Racers won 46-32. Fill in the riders score chart given that. The Racers rode as programmed(no tacticals or reserve substitutions used) The opposition only won heats 2,4 and 8 and only John, Jan and Per won races for the Racers. The opposition recorded one 5-1 in heat 8 and one 4-2 in heat 2. the Racers recorded three 5-1`s in heats 5,10 and 12 also four 4-2`s in heats 3,6,9 and 13. John top scored with twice as many as Mitch, who scored twice as many as Mark. Tim fell in his 1st race and was excluded. Malc`s engine seized in his 1st race. The reserves scored only 3 points. There is only one possible score chart layout. The league format in 85 was 13 heats heat 1 1 2 V 1 2 heat 2 6 7 V 6 7 heat 3 5 4 V 5 4 heat 4 3 6 V 3 7 heat 5 5 4 V 1 2 heat 6 1 2 V 3 6 heat 7 3 6 V 5 4 heat 8 2 7 V 2 7 heat 9 5 4 V 3 6 heat 10 1 2 V 5 4 heat 11 3 7 V 1 2 heat 12 1 4 V 3 5 heat 13 3 5 V 1 4 Edited May 12, 2020 by racers and royals 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The era is irrelevant, as is the fact it's a speedway programme to an extent - it's simply a logic puzzle, and very entertaining! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Think I've done it. And with no corrections! Which means I probably got it wrong. Should I post it here and be proven wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure it wasn't 45-33? Davis has to have a maximum so that Mitch can get 6 and Chessell 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 I was just about to put that. Chessell 3rd. 3-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 That gives me the same score chart though. Because I had given Chessell a point by mistake there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
