In a race with eight swimmers, how many ways can the swimmers finish first, second and third?
The A. J. Swim Team soon will have an important swimmeet with the G. N. Swim Team. Each team has a star swimmer(John and Mark, respectively) who can swim very well in the 100-yard butterfly, backstroke, and breaststroke events. However, therules prevent them from being used in more than two of theseevents. Therefore, their coaches now need to decide how to usethem to maximum advantage.Each team will enter three swimmers per event (the maximumallowed). For each event, the following table gives the best timepreviously achieved by John and Mark as well as the best time foreach of the other swimmers who will definitely enter that event.(Whichever event John or Mark does not swim, his team’s thirdentry for that event will be slower than the two shown in the table.)A. J. Swim Team G. N. Swim TeamEntry Entry1 2 John Mark 1 2Butterflystroke 1:01.6 59.1 57.5 58.4 1:03.2 59.8Backstroke 1:06.8 1:05.6 1:03.3 1:02.6 1:04.9 1:04.1Breaststroke 1:13.9 1:12.5 1:04.7 1:06.1 1:15.3 1:11.8The points awarded are 5 points for first place, 3 points forsecond place, 1 point for third place, and none for lower places.Both coaches believe that all swimmers will essentially equal theirbest times in this meet. Thus, John and Mark each will definitelybe entered in two of these three events.(a) The coaches must submit all their entries before the meet with-out knowing the entries for the other team, and no changes arepermitted later. The outcome of the meet is very uncertain, soeach additional point has equal value for the coaches. Formu-late this problem as a two-person, zero-sum game.
