Now clealry as one has 6 correct and other has 5 correct
so at max mismatch between these two is 3
hence one of C and e has got 6 other 5
hence H5 is the winner
similarly H6 stands second


1) b 2) C

rest coming !!

Can anyone have 6 correct bets??? If 6 are correct then 7th will definetly be correct....So I think it'll be 0-5 correct bets??

@implex...
when 6 bets for any one are correct, it means that all the 7 are correct [correct me if i am wrong?] so the max number opf correct bets could be 5 and least could be 0 for the 6 human beings....

please correct me ?...anyways the question is tooo good...
