New Scientist Enigma 503 – Early in the Season
by Eric Emmet
From issue #1647, 14th January 1989
Four football teams are to play each other once. After some of the matches had been played a document giving a few details of the matches played, won, lost and so on was found. This time I am glad to say that, although it was rather a mess, all the figures given were correct. Here it is:
| Team | Played | Won | Lost | Drawn | Goals For | Goals Against | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 1 | 4 | 5 | ||||
| B | 1 | 6 | 1 | ||||
| C | 12 | ||||||
| D | 9 | 5 | 4 | ||||
| E | 1 | 3 |
(Two points are given for a win and one point to each side for a draw.)
Find the score in all the matches that had been played.
