Question 21
Six students are divided into two teams: Team Girls and Team Boys. Each member rolled the dice three times. The team with the greater total number of dots wins. Team Boys won, and James’s total was the smallest among his team. Find James’s total number of dots in the last two rolls.
Clarification for the source-intended scored version: “smallest” means strictly lower than every other teammate’s total. This added clarification is separate from the original wording. If a tied minimum is allowed, the original wording also permits a different result, explained in the solution.
