Player #1 has 97 points with two games remaining in regular season. Player #2 has 88 points (same number of games remaining). If #2 will always get one more point than #1 for the last two games, what would be the formula showing how many points needed to surpass #1's points per game average? (#1 has 1.21 p/pg and #2 has 1.19 p/pg)

What are your thoughts?

Denis and Mr. Khan

please humor me as i have a wager with one of my colleagues... I am neither an academic or student . If I am required to spend more than a few minutes on this and read a long list of rules, I will move on. If someone wants to give me an answer, I will send 2 lbs of our best fair trade organic coffee free anywhere Can/US. ( I'll bet now I'm really offside on the rules here now)

clock is ticking....

You last statement does not make sense. The is NO integer, N, such that 97/N= 1.21.

In that case, you are at the wrong place - at the wrong time!!
