Argenina + Italy + South Korea + X =1
Y + Iraq + Paraguay + Belgium = 1
Russia + Canada + France + Z = 1

Furthermore Y > X > Z

SOLVE FOR X, Y and Z

Camel - you have to figure out what the formulas relate to.  They are football based.  X, Y and Z are 3 different countries.

Niger, Spain, Hungary if Y > X > Z contains another typo.

Incorrect.  No typo on Y > X > Z

Suspect you are on the right lines though.  Z is correct.

Is it based on points or rank?

Post by: DungBeetle on July 24, 2013, 03:41:05 PM
Nothing to do with offical rankings (or any points system)

World Cup Groups I think

Mexico are Y in 1986

Post by: TightEnd on July 24, 2013, 04:02:43 PM
Hungary are Z in 1986

yep - World Cup groups is the first part of the equation.

Mexico is correct for Y.

Hungary is correct for Z.

Bulgaria are X in 1986

Mexico>Bulgaria>Hungary

points scored or positions in the world cup groups in 86 in Mexico?


Title: Re: Football Equations
Post by: DungBeetle on July 24, 2013, 04:10:53 PM
Correct.  First part is groups and then second part is progress in the tournament.

Thought this was going to be about Pythagorean expectation.

Disappointed.
