OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is C. 90 games.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry messed up on the math:/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you get 90?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, I think I'm wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hahaha, I think it's a lot simpler than we think. If one team plays all other 5 teams 3 times, then 15 games are played. The next team has already played this team thrice, so they need only play four teams 4 times, etc.
