Guest guest Posted January 22, 2000 Report Share Posted January 22, 2000 For those who did not do so well on the last test we have a supplementary test. How many matches does it take to complete a knock out tennis tournament with 427 players ? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Wrong answer In the 1st round there are 213 matches and 1 player gets a bye which leaves 214 players then there are 107 matches in the 2nd round etc. Correct answer Since there are 427 players in the tournament 426 players do not win the tournament and since each loser loses only 1 match that means 426 matches must be lost and therefore 426 matches played. Of course if you have also failed the supplementary exam then you can still choose a career in an area which requires no higher mental function such as law,politics or computer support.
