Are you ready for some football? I hope so, because football barrels toward you if you're ready or not. Whether you think of football as a brilliant chess match played out with athletic grace or a 'roid-filled concussion fiesta, I know you can figure this out. Give it a shot:
In this football league, there are 6 teams that play each other once (i.e., round robin). Looking at just the first 5 teams, they have 1, 2, 3, 3, and 5 wins in some order, and they have 0, 2, 2, 3, and 3 losses in some order.
What's the record of the last team?

It's really easy to figure out the records of each of the teams.
If every team plays each other once, each team's record needs to add up to 5, no more and no less. So with the numbers of wins and losses given, the records of the first 5 teams are:
- 5 - 0
- 3 - 2
- 3 - 2
- 2 - 3
- 1 - 3... Wait that's only 4 games!
Figure it out? Team #5 has one tie, so has a record of 1 - 3 - 1. Now the number of total Wins and Losses needs to be the same, and Team #5 needed to tie with someone, so the record of the last team is:
0 - 4 - 1
Sad, huh?
