This is beginning to really infuriate me and I am not smart enough to work it out
A, B and C play for the same club – they all come to the final game of the season having taken 23 wickets for 50 so an average of 2.17
In that last game A takes 7-40 (ave 5.71), B 2-25 (ave 12.50) and C 1-22 (ave 22.00) so obviously A must end up with the best bowling average for the season, or so I would have thought, but in fact
A has 30 for 90
B has 25 for 75
C has 24 for 72
So all still have the same average of 3.00!!!!!
If someone can explain the mathematical principles to me, preferably in words of no more than two syllables, I would be a lot happier, and the person who told me this last week, and then confessed he couldn't explain it, would be able to walk past my office again without fear of being struck by flying objects
