Military Fun 2
Please do Military Fun first before doing this teaser. This teaser continues on from the first time the friends got together, and will give away the answer to Military Fun. So, please do that teaser first.
The same 7 friends are back, Stephen, Felicia, Brad, Abby, Clark, Anna, and Jessica. This time they want to go into a pretend battle. So, they invited 3 of their other friends over to make the team 5 on 5. The new friends are, Paul, Kelsey, and Luke. Those 3 will start out as Privates like everyone else did. The other 7 friends will take their rank from the last time.
The teams were split.
Blue Team:
Lieutenant General Stephen
Major Felicia
Sergeant Abby
Private Paul
Private Kelsey
Red Team:
Colonel Anna
Captain Clark
Sergeant Brad
Corporal Jessica
Private Luke
This is a list of the ranks again, just in case anyone forgot it.
Ranks
1. Lieutenant General
2. Brigadier General
3. Colonel
4. Lieutenant Colonel
5. Major
6. Captain
7. First Lieutenant
8. Second Lieutenant
9. First Sergeant
10. Sergeant
11. Corporal
12. Private
Each team was given a very small base, and 15 balls (pretending to be cannon balls) to throw at each other.
If anyone is a Second Lieutenant or lower, and is hit by a ball, they are out. If anyone is between a First Lieutenant and a Lieutenant Colonel, they get two total hits before they are out. And if anyone is a Colonel or higher, they get three hits before they are out.
Start:
The Red team throws 5 balls, and hits everyone once except for the General and Sergeant.
The Blue team fires 6 balls, hitting the Red team leader twice and everyone else once.
The Red team fires 3 balls and hits the General and the Major once each. The other one ends up missing.
The Blue team fires 2 balls and hits the lowest ranked man left, the other one misses.
The Red team is up again and fires 2 balls, and hits the General twice.
The Blue team throws their remaining 7 balls and hits the Red team's last player.
Who was left on the blue team?

The Blue team throws their remaining 7 balls and hits the Red team's last player.
Who was left on the blue team?
Answer
First of all, both teams could take the same number of hits. Stephen and Anna could both take 3 hits, Felicia and Clark could both take 2 hits and the other 6 members could each take 1 hit.So, when the Red team throws balls and hit, it hits everyone but Abby and Stephen. That takes out Paul and Kelsey, and leaves Felicia with 1 hit left.
When the Blue team fires and hits everybody once and Anna twice, that leaves Clark and Anna both with only 1 hit left.
Back to the Red team firing their 3 balls. It hits Stephen and Felicia once, taking Felicia out of the game, and leaving Stephen with 2 hits.
When the Blue team fires again, they hit the lowest ranked man, and that's Clark. So, that takes him out and just leaves Anna with one hit left.
The last time that the Red team fires, it hits Stephen twice taking Stephen out of the game.
Then the blue team fires back hitting Anna, knocking out everybody on the Red team, making the people on the Blue team the winners of the battle.
The only person left on the Blue team is Sergeant Abby.
