And here are the potential answers...
- 00:28
Okay, so we just have to go through each potential answer and see if it... rims out.
- 00:33
A says "Bill had the highest shooting percentage for all three games."
- 00:38
But we can see that in game 2 that Bill in blue here was behind James... so A isn't true.
- 00:44
B. "Luke had the lowest shooting percentage for all three games."
- 00:48
Luke clearly wasn't going to win any awards for his overall performance, but in game one,
- 00:53
James shot even worse.
- 00:55
C. "Luke never had the highest shooting percentage in all three games."
- 01:00
True! In no game was Luke number 1.
- 01:03
So it looks like C is true... but let's make sure...
- 01:06
D. "James never had the highest shooting percentage in any of the three games." Well,
- 01:13
game 2 was a bonanza for James as he DID have the highest percentage.
- 01:17
So yeah, the answer is C.
- 01:19
As in... "Cheek to cheek."
