I heard this over the weekend, I think its quite clever.
Tim Henman is playing Pete Sampras.
Henman has just won the last 6 points by serving aces.
But he is still behind in the match.
What is the exact score?

Honestly, I have no idea how tennis is scored. All I know is that it's a really long game. Their stamina amazes me.Quote:

All you need to answer the puzzle is there.
Henman has just served 6 aces.

From the details given there is only one possible score.
What is it?
Only thing I can think off is that it is something like 6-0, 6-1, 0-5
Henman must have won the last 2 points in the tie break and then gone on to win his own service game to love.
So Henman has won at least a set and the first game in a set. Therefore If Sampras has won more he must have 2 sets (as 3 would have won him the match already)
So the Score Is Sampras Leads by 2 sets to 1, Henman leads by 1 game to 0 in the 4th.

Thanks Glen,
Off to watch Bell Jam stuff Brazil now then!
Hey ! I got that one too (well, mostly) :(
I thought that the tennis rackets hit the ball? Not like in that BBC advert.Quote:

you get a tennis ball hit by Henman in that match as a prize. :D:D:D
i don't get it why does it have to be a tie break?
To win 6 service points in a row, 2 of them had to be in the previous set. If Henman had served out a normal game he wouldn't be serving first in the next set. So it had to be the last 2 points of a tie-break.Quote:

Jesus, how do you figure out this stuff?? :confused:
OK, I have another tennis puzzle.
Anna Kournikova serves to another player.
Does anyone notice who the other player is?
Read my recent posts, I've got to find something to do in my spare time, something different from my past preference.:cool:Quote:
