Most Fit Citizens -- A Logic Problem
The Bedford community held a festival to raise money for the town's beautification project. Area businesses sponsored contests and games for all ages. One contest designed to be pure silliness to entertain the audience was the "Most Fit Citizens" competition. Nine businesses sponsored teams in three activities - "Rock Lift", "Rope Jump", and "Relay Run". The teams were awarded one point for first place, two points for second place and so on. The team that posted the lowest total score at the end of the contest would be the winner. Prior to the competition, the participants conspired to have a nine-way tie.
From the information provided, determine the order in which the teams finished each contest, and the final score of each.
- Meres Food Mart placed 1st in the Rock Lift.
- Jackson Books finished six places behind Smith Insurance Co. in the Relay Run and just ahead of them in the Rock Lift.
