Impressed by apsnaz’s analysis I drew this to illustrate why his 7 horse solution is correct:
After the first 5 races and the race of the top in each group only the horses above the double line can possibly be one of the three fastest. A1 is already proven the fastest and there are only 5 other horses that need to be in the 7th race to determine 2nd and 3rd.
Of course if the order is not A – B – C – D -E you just reorder to columns and the same logic holds.
@ aspnaz, mpsk (& DarkMatter)
Thumbs up to your solution (and diagram) with 7 horseraces.
I obviously flubbed it.@DarkMatter Why thank you. That said, your diagram is much clearer than my explanation.
