23. The participants in a race consisted of 3 teams with 3 runners on each team. A team was awarded 6 –n points if one of its runners finished in nth place, where 1  n  5. If all of the runners finished the race and if there were no ties, was each team awarded at least one point?
(1) No team was awarded more than a total of 6 points.
(2) No pair of teammates finished in consecutive places among the top five places.
Hi,
I thought the answer is E) because there are 3*3=9 runnners in total, so even though no team was awarded more than 6 points, there are possibilities that one team did not get any point..... But the answer is A), so I must have misread the text. Can anyone please explain?
