Here's your shmoop du jour:

00:04

Luke, Bill and James are playing three games of HORSE.

00:08

The loser... has to kiss a horse. On the mouth.

00:13

The percentage of shots that these three basketball players made over three games of HORSE are

00:17

shown in the graph below.  Which statement is true based on this information?

00:22

And here are the potential answers...

00:28

Okay, so we just have to go through each potential answer and see if it... rims out.

00:33

A says "Bill had the highest shooting percentage for all three games."

00:38

But we can see that in game 2 that Bill in blue here was behind James... so A isn't true.

00:44

B. "Luke had the lowest shooting percentage for all three games."

00:48

Luke clearly wasn't going to win any awards for his overall performance, but in game one,

00:53

James shot even worse.

00:55

C. "Luke never had the highest shooting percentage in all three games."

01:00

True! In no game was Luke number 1.

01:03

So it looks like C is true... but let's make sure...

01:06

D. "James never had the highest shooting percentage in any of the three games." Well,

01:13

game 2 was a bonanza for James as he DID have the highest percentage.

01:17

So yeah, the answer is C.

01:19

As in... "Cheek to cheek."
