Question

In the 2020 Olympics Javelin throw finals: (i) First two rounds dominated by Neeraj Chopra, gold in second throw; others no medal throws in these rounds. (ii) Last round throws by Vadlejch and Vesely were fouls. (iii) After four rounds, Vesely was in second position and could not improve in succeeding rounds. (iv) In fourth round, Vadlejch had the best throw. In which round did Vitezlav Vesely have his best throw?

Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: (A) ThirdConcept -- Logical Deduction from Constraints: From observation (i), Vesely had no medal‑winning throws in rounds 1 and 2 (since only Neeraj Chopra had medal throws in those rounds). From observation (iii), after four rounds Vesely was in second position — meaning his best throw (which was good enough for silver or bronze) occurred in rounds 1, 2, 3, or 4. Since he had no medal throws in rounds 1 and 2, his best throw must be from round 3 or 4. From observation (iv), Vadlejch had the best throw in round 4. Vesely was in second position after 4 rounds, meaning Vesely's throw was NOT the best in round 4 (that was Vadlejch's). Observation (iii) also says Vesely could not improve in rounds 5 and 6 (and round 6 was a foul per observation (ii)). Therefore Vesely's best throw could not have occurred in round 4 (since it wasn't the best and also he might have had a better throw in round 3), and rounds 5-6 are excluded. By elimination, the only remaining round for his best throw is round 3. This uses process of elimination and the fact that 'could not improve' implies his later throws were not better than his previous best.
