This blog is the online extension of our intermediate classrooms. Our goal is to enhance and document our learning experience throughout the school year, and share this journey with teachers, parents and students. We welcome your constructive feedback, and we look forward to learning with you!
1. From this fact, we knew that Gregory would either have to be in 1st or 2nd place and Adam in 2nd or 3rd. 2. Gregory is did not finish in second place, meaning he is in 1st place. Also, he is not Canadian meaning he is either Japanese or French. 3. (will be skipped for now) 4. Adam did not finish in 3rd place, meaning he is in 2nd place. Also, he is not Japanese, so he is either Canadian or French. 5. (skipped for now)
To recap: Gregory - is in 1st place and is either Japanese or French Adam - is in 2nd place and is either Canadian or French Paul - is in 3rd place
Now that we know their places, we need to find out which country each athlete is competing for.
3 & 5: The Japanese and Canadian athletes are better than the French athlete, meaning the French athlete is obviously 3rd place.
Since Paul was 3rd, he is the French athlete.
Now we know Gregory is not French or Canadian, so he is Japanese. The remaining country is Canada and the remaining athlete is Adam. So, Adam is the Canadian athlete.
Gregory>Adam Gregory ≠ Canadian and + or - second place Because Gregory beat someone ^^ and he was either third or first ^ logic dictates he is first place Gregory = Gold medal Japanese>French Adam not third or first ^^ therefore he is second Adam ≠ Japanese Canada > French French = third ^ + ^^^^ Adam is Canadian because ^ and ^^^ Gregory is Japanese (not a very "Japanese" name) ^ and ^^ By process of elimination: Paul = third and French
