Question 3 - A Logical Question
Two players, John and Jessie played a game. The game starts with 10c points each player. Each player will get 25c points every hours. If that player spells the word correctly or wrongly, that player will give or deduct points based on the formula below.
3 letter words:
Correctly: c points
Wrongly: o points
4 letter words:
Correctly: 2c points
Wrongly: 2o points
...
John spells 9 and 7 letter words correctly and 6 letter words wrongly. While Jessie spells 6 and 9 letter words correctly and 3 and 8 letter words wrongly. If c points is a positive number and o points is a negative number, who's points is more than the other player after 1 hour?

The free points don't matter since they both got them by default at the same rate.
John : (9-2)c + (7-2)c + (6-2)o
= 12c + 4o
Jessie : (6-2)c + (9-2)c + (3-2)o + (8-2)o
= 11c + 7o
John's positive points exceeded Jessie's with 12 > 11 while his negative points is less than hers with 4 < 7. John wins.
