Trivia #7 -- Out of Place ANSWERS



Once again, a different sort of game. Only four
questions this time, one for each surface. Take
each player's winning percentage on each surface.
Bedanova, for instance, had a record of 2-5 on clay,
for a winning % of 28.6%. Take the Top 30 and list
their winning percentages on each surface.

Now here is the trick. For each surface, I'll
give you eight names. Five of them are the Top
Five in winning percentage on the surface, one
of them is Top Ten but *not* Top Five, and two
of them are not Top Ten. One of the latter two
stands *last* among the Top Thirty in standing
on the particular surface. So your task is to
separate them. List the #1 player on the surface,
the other four Top Five players, the player who is
Top Ten but not Top Five, the one who is not Top
Ten but not last, and the one who is last.

Points are pyramided: For each surface, answer one
part correctly, and you get 1 point. Answer two,
and you get 1+2=3. Answer three, and you get 1+2+3=6.
If you answer four, then of course you've actually
answered them all, so you get 1+2+3+4=10.
