By Paddy Smith in GAMES
In a World Cup soccer group round, four teams in a section play a round robin series of games.
Winning a game is worth 3 points, a tie is worth 1 point, and a loss scores zero points.
In a certain section, the competing teams were Australia, India, Turkey, and the U.S.A.
From the following clues, can you determine each team's point total?
1. Only the U.S.A. had more than one tie.
2. Turkey had one more point than the U.S.A. and one less point than Australia.
