	\problem{}
 | 
			
		||||
	A standard Mario Kart cup consists of 12 players and four races. \par
 | 
			
		||||
	Each race is scored as follows:
 | 
			
		||||
	\begin{itemize}
 | 
			
		||||
		\item 15 points are awarded for first place;
 | 
			
		||||
		\item 12 for second;
 | 
			
		||||
		\item and $(13 - \text{place})$ otherwise.
 | 
			
		||||
	\end{itemize}
 | 
			
		||||
	In any one race, no players may tie.
 | 
			
		||||
	A player's score at the end of a cup is the sum of their scores for each of the four races.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
	\vspace{2mm}
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
	An $n$-way tie occurs when the top $n$ players have the same score at the end of a round. \par
 | 
			
		||||
	What is the largest possible $n$, and how is it achieved?
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
	\begin{solution}
 | 
			
		||||
		A 12-way tie is impossible, since the total number of point is not divisible by 12.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
		\vspace{2mm}
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
		A 11-way tie is possible, with a top score of 28:
 | 
			
		||||
		\begin{itemize}
 | 
			
		||||
			\item Four players finish $1^\text{st}$, $3^\text{ed}$, $11^\text{th}$, and $12^\text{th}$;
 | 
			
		||||
			\item Four players finish $2^\text{nd}$, $4^\text{th}$, $9^\text{th}$, and $10^\text{th}$;
 | 
			
		||||
			\item Two players finish fifth twice and seventh twice,
 | 
			
		||||
			\item One player finishes sixth in each race.
 | 
			
		||||
		\end{itemize}
 | 
			
		||||
		The final player always finishes eighth, with a non-tie score of 20.
