Two boys and one girl can beat a man in a tug-of-war. A woman can beat one boy and two girls. Who would win in a contest between a man and one girl against a woman and one boy?
HINT:
Pit the two winning teams against the two losing teams.
Answer:
The mother and boy team will win. Boy + boy + girl + woman (the two winning teams combined) will defeat man + boy + girl + girl (the two losing teams combined). Subtract one boy and one girl from each side, and boy + woman deeats man + girl.
