RE: Mr. and Mrs. Aye and Mr. and Mrs. Bee competed ...
this puzzle is from george j. summers "puzzles and teasers'Answer is Mrs Bee,,, george has given a confusing and long explaination,, here is my versionMr aye beat mrs aye in first game (bee cant be playing since ayes are supposed to win more games, if one of them is out, then even if both ayes can win against the remaining bee, it violates the other conditions,, think,,,)now two casesmr aye vs mr bee >> winner mr aye (aye win more games than bee)mr aye vs mrs bee >> winner mrs bee (women win atleast one game)hence mrs bee playes the finalist and beat him,,,,
