OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

extra credit my teachers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then would it be four possible wins because there are four spots left and there are two of them

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

yea i was thinking that but wasnt sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then the last one would be 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the gold medal part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant 4, 2 and 2

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

last one is 3 because u can get a silver gold or bronze the second to last is 2 because gold or silver and the first is 4??? i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because there are four finishes and there are 2 in which they either finish and then there are three u are correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try that

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

kay

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):
