Brain Teasers
Basketball Blast
Hoops, Tiny, and Ron are the guard, center, and forward of their three-man basketball team, although not necessarily in that order. In the championship game, the guard, an only child, scored the fewest points. Ron, who dates Hoops' sister, scored more than the center. What position does each player play?
Answer
Tiny is the guard, Ron is the forward, and Hoops is the center.Ron can't be the guard because he did not score the least. Likewise, Hoops is not the guard because he is not an only child; thus the guard must be Tiny. Likewise, Ron scored more that the center, which must make him the forward while Hoops fills out the center spot.
By the way, they won the game!
