\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.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
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.

||||
\end{solution}
